EncryptedCow awesome stuff man! i will check this out right now,I have learned quite a bit from you and a bunch of other developers that lurk these forums,Thank you EncryptedCow

Whatsup everyone

i was wondering how to make viens or pockets of ore for my sandbox game all while keeping my generation random.

I figured out how to make a complete random world through the use of arrays but i would like ti implement some type of ores or something for the player to dig for.

Is it possible to do? and if so how complicated would it be?

my game is a sidescroller if that helps.Thank you guys

To Me this isnt making sense.I am missing a piece of info that could clear this right up to me.

I understand how to check if the range is bigger on an array but how does that affect anything? How does that change my grass to whatever else i want?Everytime i set it up it changes every single tile to the exact same sprite.

Dont leave me hangin guys im so close to learning this.Thank you for everything so far,i know it can be annoying to anwser the same questions in different ways over and over.

TELLES0808 i apollogize man ,But i am missing something when it comes to what you are saying.I dont understand how to make that happen in code i know how to use variables but incorperating it with arrays,I have never done before.Do i have to tell each Cell which ore goes where? and how would i check if a cell is empty? I dont want to sound funny but all of these questions are helping me alot and i hope others from the forums get help from this aswell.

That Is Awesome!! And so damm easy!!! wow i feel like a real stupid.

TELLES0808 my gratitude goes to you for explaining this to me.

You and R0j0 have some awesome pictures by the way,I love Dogs in general,Thank you once again.

Before i go i have one more question about this paticular capX and everything i learned so far from you guys.

What would i have to do to create the random style terrain.I also know that switching the id of the array to show my animation frame change would be the best option to add Ores and stone but how do you place the Actual position.

For instance If i want to have stone on my 10th row to the 20th row then the rest back to dirt how would i go about Dictating the position where everything starts to generate.

i hope i made sense Thank you again

Me learning in this step by step fashion is actually working for me!!! Thank you guys!! i really havnt felt this good about arrays up until this point. You guys are showing me in a way that i didnt see before.

I see where i meesed up by looking at your capX file TELLES0808

But if i were to do this in this way wouldnt it load the world in this same fashion every single time i loaded the game?

Lets say i wanted to Dig up a bunch of grass tiles and then quit the game.As soon as i come back the world will load up and look exactly the same each time.

Im not looking for random generation but i would like to know how do i make the tile generation persist when i start the layout each time instead of generating over and over each time.

i know about the behaviour persist but that wont work with the array generation im guessing.

This didnt work for me R0J0hound i did exactly as you said to do.

im missing something.

Its hard to say without seeing your capX file,You should learn how to use The Pin behaviour along with image points.

Im not a pro but i know that sooner or later you will need to learn that

I have just figured out how to use arrays in one of scirras tutorials,It has taken me awhile to grasp ahold of this since i have been learning independently.

R0J0hound or anyone who knows of this,I wanted to know if you could show me in my capX file how i can make my tile Generation start wherever i want it to start.

As of now from learning in the tutorial i read,I only know how to make my tile Generation start from the Top Left corner all the way down to the floor.

I cant have my player on the world if its full of dirt.I hope i make sense and if you can show me,please show me in a simple form since i am still in my learning curve.

Thank you Guys The CapX

R0J0hound it still isnt working right for me man.

I want to use this code to make my Grass blocks spread and grow ontop of the next tile to the left or right by checking for collisions at an offset position.I just cant seem to get the blocks to switch one by one once a layout is started.

If it helps im making a Terraria/Minecraft style Game.

Thanks R0J0hound

Hi everyone i wanted to know how i can make the tiles in this capX file to change one by one instead of all changing at the same time.

I have them set to check for a collision at an offset and if its true, i want the tile to change from frame 0 to frame 1 but my issue is they are all changing at the same time.I want the tiles to seem like they are Infecting each other when it detects an offset.Is there anyone that can help me with this?My CapX File
