  • If i understood your post correctly Daniel, you could try using the Line of Sight behavior.

    If the follower is in the FOV of the player, then player can interact with follower. Maybe have the follower with Line of Sight as well, so if both the player and the follower are in each others FOV, then they are able to interact with each other.

  • Check out Articy: Draft SE. I noticed it a while back on Steam. It cost a little over a $100 if you don't mind spending the money. If anyone has tried it, would be nice to hear some feedback.

  • Pretty cool. Is it alright for one answer bubble to match another bubble?

    For example 9x2 = 5? 5? 10? or 18?

    If not, if I may suggest, in your algorithm, check if a number matches any other number in your bubbles. If matching, generate another number.

  • I like the ships physics and controls. Also like your idea of a territory control online game. Can't wait to see it completed.

  • Love the art style and animation. The combat looks cool. Could see myself playing this especially coupled with a great story or a really great rpg character progression.

  • i did misunderstand but we are on the same page. I didn't put all the movement input on the mouse. I can't see that working out.

  • Honestly to save some time you shouldn't really have to do all that for controls. You can just have it automatically detect the input.

    So lets say they hit space or they hit the left click or the gamepad A Button since they will do the same thing just make a 'OR' statement in the condition.

    if SPACEBAR or MOUSE LEFT or GAMEPAD A Button DO THIS.

    Just a thought but you don't have to do it that way if you don't want to. Saves them from having to tell the game which one. The easier to get right into game the better. All they need to know is the control.

    Any other way would just add unnecessary work and redundancy in your event sheet.

    EXAMPLE

    Unfortunately, the movement configurations i used for the keyboard won't work with mouse but most of what you said works. Like for attacks.. I've completed the implementation of the mouse already. I'm still testing it though. Appreciate your input.

  • Awesome. Thanx guys. +1 to all of you.

    I designed the game with just keyboard in mind, considering laptop users that might not want to plug their mouse in. Instead, I'll add the ability for user to choose keyboard, mouse/keyboard or gamepad on my next build.

    I'll also look into the attack issue as well. I've had other testers say the same thing.

    I did forget to update the control screen but there is "Shift" for running and when you press "B" it will pause the screen and show you stats. I'll make sure it's clearer.

    NP +1 just mean I agree with what Dhoeke stated . Well for me I think now just IMO use the keyboard for movement and the mouse clicks for attack and block like left for attack right button for block. Because I get a bit finger tied if I want to attack and back up at the same time or block. Don't seem like the most conventional controls. That is what killed me from playing certain games when they strayed from the norm. Usually shift would be used for running. But that is just my opinion it easier for the user to play if it uses something they already learned. Maybe a pause screen so that they can see the controls whenever they need to.

    Did you change something since I last played??

    Yes, I did change something. I did a quick fix to the loadout screen, where when the user died and came back to the screen everything would be unequiped. I also fixed a little bug with the AI strength incrementing exponentially, ignoring the armor you choose.

  • Great start to things but +1 what dhoeke says. Can't wait to see where you take this.

    Thank you PhoenixNightly! Sorry for sounding naive but how do I +1?

    Also, what kind of frame rate are you guys getting when playing the game?

  • Congrats on your first game, man!

    I find it very hard to get into. The game is not very responsive, everything comes with a delay (like, for instance, when you press space, it takes almost 1-2 seconds until the character reacts). Also, you could maybe make the overall menu handling a little easier. Don't let players go out there without a weapon, it's dangerous out there! And save the setup so players don't have to re-setup it over and over.

    I never got further than killing one zombie and I was frustrated since I went out there without even a stick multiple times. But I see where you are going with the design, I think it has quite a potential. Keep it up!

    Thank you for your feedback. I'll make the changes you suggested.

  • Your link doesn't seem to be working.

    Apparently, Dropbox is down atm.

  • > You shouldn't expect people to just "do it for you." First off, that's entitlement. Second off, you have almost no information.

    >

    > Especially if this is for a school project you should do the research yourself. Use the tutorials section, YouTube, Google, and if that doesn't work, you should post in the correct forum section with much more information.

    >

    Ive done it now anyway. Trust me my friend ive been learning this and trying this for a month now and I looked on old forum posts and everything. I was desperate as the deadline is Friday. I posted this in another section. I got the help i needed...

    Although I agree with DatapawWolf, I think you just needed to phrase your request differently but I'm glad you got your help in the end. I was gonna help but I wanted to know if you were hoping to publish your work for revenue or what not.
