So that's my file for what I have for charging a bullet and making it bigger. On release the bullet will fly faster as opposed to a regular bullet as well.

The problem comes from when I start moving. If you guys notice the bullet itself will stay in the same place while the player is moving across the screen.

Can anyone help me figure out how I can hold the bullet at the end of my imagepoint while I move around? I want the bullet to be able to stay with the player, not be left at one spot

I know there are plenty of ways to make a character dash. My way is to have the character set platform vector x to xx amount I want.

I've also done double jump the same way, while my character is in the air.

I just wanted to know if my way is the cleanest way, or is there any other solutions that others have made up.

To be more in depth with double Jumping:

Condtions

Player is NOT on the floor

Jump button pressed

Action

Player set platform vector Y to - 700

Dash:

Condition

A is pressed

Player platform is on floor

Action

Player set platform vector X to 500

I'd also like to ask if there is some kind of relation tot he acceleration speed and the vector X,Y movements?

Thanks a bunch

So as the title says, I'm having trouble putting origin points on my sprites, are there any settings I can go to place them on my sprites? I'd like to put an origin on a Player Box, and a Sprite on top of that box. Eventually i'd like to make the sprite shoot, but i would also need another image point to be created at the tip of the gun.

Three things I want to learn how to do.

1) Have my player dash with a button.

2) Have my player dash while pressing the direction twice.

3) Have my player be able to air dash.

I understand that I can have my player move forward in x amount of pixels with the move forward feature. The thing is that I want my character to be able to have it flow like megaman x or something sort of that caliber. The move forward function actually has my player sort of jump to the pixel or teleport, what have you.

Any tips would be great.

I solved my problem. This program is amazing...

Thanks Rory,

Can you elaborate what a paperdoll system is? So far for a shooting game I just made the character spawn a bullet.

For platformers, would the character have their own sprite/playerbox, and the weapons seperate?

Example, If the platform was similar to contra/metal slug/ megaman, would their weapons have their own sprite/box?

Example 2, If the platform game also included different weapons,such as swords/axes/blunt tools, would those have their own sprites/boxes as well?

Thanks

This is what I've done so far.

Hi.

I'm trying to have my player shoot at angled shots.

I've already set the input to where if the player holds down the w key and press the spacebar(shoot), the player will shoot at an angle of either 240 degrees, or -45 degrees, depending if the character is mirrored or not.

My problem is that when the character shoots at the upward angles, a second bullet spawns at the same time as if it were shooting straight of either left or right depending which way the character is facing.

How do I make the character shoot at the angles only without shooting a second bullet at the same time?
