Hi Community,

I'm trying to create a simple (not too complicated for me) pacman clone. The player mechanics are perfect - I'm very happy with this. But the ghosts (AI) - OH BOY!.

I cheated by using bullet behaviour and bouncing off walls (i know this is not ideal). I even went as far as adding 'Line of Sight', but quickly removed as it caused even more problems.

experience the gameplay:

my shocking C2 file:

I'm very NOOB'ish - so go easy on me ;)

I have looked online at several discussions/tuts.... but I just want it simple, so my poor brain can cope.

Thanks again,

roberto

Now that makes sense.

it just disappears :(

Hi plinkie,

like the example....there are collectable sprites on multiple layouts...

1. Player collects coins...

2. then player goes North, from Layout1

3. Player is now on Layout 2 for example.... collects a few (coins)...

4. Then Player goes South, back to layout 1... Layout 1 remembers he collected coins, so won't respawn them...

Hope that makes sense.

Ideally, I'd like to build a mini map of several layouts, so the player can freely road.

Thanks,

Roberto

Hi Gang,

I'm trying to understand how persistent layouts work. I've explored the Persistent Layout example but i don't quite understand it.

I created a fresh project.... created 3 layouts. tried my best to replicate the example project... I'm missing something.

My player, once leaves x<0 or x>LayoutWidth.... disappears once a new layout opens.

I've gone through every property I can think of - scratching head!

Thanks,

Roberto

Hi,

Sorry to ask:

I know there's an OR block but what about AND?

example: If player1 AND player2 are dead Then ....

do something like END GAME!

Thanks,

Roberto

Thanks dop2000,

I guess I'm looking for a typewriter effect reading from another textbox... so I don't have to type in the type.

Pretty neat through ;)

I'd like it to produce a paragraph of pre-type text if possible?

Rather than typing the paragraph.

Muchos Gracias,

Robeto
