Nobody?

Ups sorry I figured it out. What i did is:

I set variable can_move for enemy. Default value is 0.

system on start of the layout system wait 4 seconds. After the set value can_move to 1.

And then in condition which handle lerp movement I have if can_move = 1 then do the rest :)

Here's one way to do it:

stepMovement.capx (r99)

So I think I finally understood this and got it work. Only problem is that when you start a game it immediately starts to move. I need to wait about 4 seconds on start of the game before all this moving

Thank you but could some of you be that specific and actually past a code example here? just take mine and reedit it. I am not programmer so I am totally lost :) sorry for so many questions.

Here's one way to do it:

stepMovement.capx (r99)

Thank you I have to study it more because it seems complicated in this example.

However I tried to understand lerp by my way, I think I finally understand little bit why is it useful. But still no luck.

Now I have every 8 second, enemy1 move forward and I Put in: lerp(enemy1.Y,enemy1.Y+50,0.8*dt)

but the movement is still not smooth and it still looks like it is jumping to that position :/

I would like to use lerp as I want to learn it without plugins but I dont understands how lerp will help in this case. Could you be more specific how should I use lerp in this situation

Rory: yeah I am trying to use it but no luck :/

shinkan: yep normally I use it. Since this is just testing for me I did not in this case.

Hello guys I have enemy what I am doing is that every 8 seconds this enemy moves forward by 4 pixels in current angle. So I have like:

system every 8 seconds

   enemy move forward 4 pixels

The problem is that I want my enemy to move smoothly. I mean right now the movement is kinda jerky. It looks more like it jumps to the new position. But I want it move smoothly by those 4 pixels . How to do that? thank you

Ok guys,

this is probably going to be pretty hard. I have this:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/97534866/ai.capx

where enemies can move whatever way they want (360). What I have is that if distance between player and enemy is smaller then 400 than enemy starts to move in player's direction.

The problem is that there is wall and enemy goes straight to the wall of course and get stuck there :). I need to make it smarter to beeing able to walk around the wall smoothly. Whats the best way for this?

If I had only 4 way movement (up,down,left,right) then I know how I would probably do that. I could have variable which would store direction of enemy moving. Then from that I would be able to know from what direction enemy hit the wall and I could send it down for example or up whatever. Or I could have home some invisible direction sprites. But I feel in this case there must be something better.

What do you think?

Hello guys,

it seems like there is some kind of weird bug in behaviours between car and solid. Look at this example: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/11087850/Michal11.capx

when you keep holding "down" arrow on keyboard and hit the fence with car back it stops how it should. But when you keep holding "up" arrow on keyboard and hit fence with front of the car then the car somehow starts to slid to the side. How come? it should be same

Don't use a tiled background, use several instances of the same sprite with an adapted collision polygon.

Also you might want to use the condition "is overlapping at offset" to anticipate the collision, and not just react to it as with a "on collision" trigger.

unfortunately it still does same problems. Sometimes if you angle of car is at certain position you can go through the wall

I don't see any "crazy bouncing" using the solid behaviour:

Thank you. Well try to hit the wall with front bumper and keep holding up arrow and you will see. It is not like bouncing but more like sliding to the side. The interesting thing is that in the example you sent me if I drive backwards it works perfectly fine :)
