thanks for replies it was the scroll to

starting a platform level and the screen has a constant shake

a bit like watching your screen during and earth quake

how do i get rid of this shake? what is causing it?

Great spot thank you very much!

thanks that does help, the container method does seem to have stopped the enemy turrets from turning though

but not a bad fix so far thanks and fixed the basic sprites my bad set to another layer

Hi

having problems:

every 5 seconds

I am creating an object the enemy base, this in turn spawns a turret which sits on the base

I then pin the turret to the base and give instance variables of each others UID

when each 5 seconds ticks by the Gun vanishes, or when the base is destroyed the turret jumps to another base

any help would be greatly appreciated

(also is it because i have altered scale the crude explosion sprite5 goes way off the mark?)

Sorry to necro this but my scroll to behaviour seems to be moving the map aswell

so my sprite (i have changed the way it moves with custom movement) however the piece moves across the map with the scroll to behaviour but it slowly overtakes the edges or moves faster than the screen scrolls

so as i press right it goes right but the tilemap seems to move aswell so eventually it will go off the screen

it is the only thing with the scroll to behaviour as far as i can see

i have looked at other movements similiar to mine and the player/sprite stays dead centre screen?

thanks this put me on the right track

Set X to tilemap.x -32 for right

cheers

braindeath hit me hard today

I am having a bit of a thick moment here

I have a tilemap set up at 32x 32

when i press the right arrow i am asking my sprite to move x +32

it seems to be jumping +64 pixels and moving along the screen to the right aswell rather than set dead centre

so i press right he moves +32 and the back ground moves another 32 it seems

what i really want to happen is he moves +32 pixels and remains in the centre of the screen, so effectively the map is moving underneath him

you could import from json and there are plugins for converting csv to arrays..

I would recommend filling large arrays from external files instead of manually code every entry..

CSV to Array

Many thanks for that link think it might be something i use. Thanks for reply

Yeah, to my knowledge there is no such editor. You'd practically have to build your own into the event sheet (not a serious suggestion). I hope you don't have large arrays to manage! Yikes!

Yes unfortunately the road i have gone down seems to be vast amounts of arrays and referencing. Thanks for reply

Howdy can someone confirm there is no array editor

for example i have a x21, y21 array which is 441 values

there is no easy way to enter this data other than

Set value at (0,0) to "name of thing"

Set value at (0,1) to 2

dont suppose there is a nice grid like view i am missing which i can bas away into?

did a bit of reading over forum but mostly old topics and the odd promise to build something

Actually think i have cracked it

using 'for each' and conditions + boolean on villain instance variable move true/false

also 'function' in there helped move or fight for very basic AI thanks for reply and if you have a better way i would be massively grateful still

I know this isnt the answer bud, but i found this array tutorial pretty awesome

also the inventory one is damn good hope it helps until someone can offer an alternative
