Hello !

i'm working on a top down shooter type "hotline miami"

the character is moved by the arrows,

and he can aim and shoot with the mouse.

actually i use this :

bullet > set angle toward (mouse.x, mouse.y)

it works, BUT .

when the mouse is really near my character, things become buggy.

and when the mouse is very far from the charachter , you have a long way back if you want to turn around.

what i would like to do :

the aiming point is controled by the mouse, but its not the mouse.

the aiming point follow the direction of the mouse , but is bounded in a circle which the center is the character.

the aiming point is always on this circle at 300 pixel (for example) of the character.     never closer and never far away .

so the mouvement you need to do to have a specific reaction will always be the same, despite the real position of the mouse.

i tried to be clear, dont know if you can understand what i mean.

if someone can help, it would be apprecied !

thanks !

look into the capx , this problem is solved to with the same logix and set mirrored.

hello ! im working on a topdown shooter type "hotline miami"

i would like the monster to be pushed away by the bullets

so i need to use the angle og the arriving bullet to push the monster in the right direction.

but i dont know how.

i've seen this post but i dont know how to use this method.

scirra.com/forum/topic68471_post420886.html

VectorX = ImpulseStrength * -cos(Angle)

VectorY = ImpulseStrength * -sin(Angle)

where to define impulsestrenght ?   

if i use a number it doesnt work neither

for the angle i used (bullet.angle)   but i dont know if its good because it didnt work.

precision : my monster are moved by pathfinding o they dont have neither 8 direction neither platform.

thanks for answers !

hi !

i did like that, it works !

dropbox.com/s/6qfnpv91c63ghkv/test.capx

player / X < monster.x / player / set platform vector x to -400

else                    / player / set platform vector x to 400

good luck !

hi !

thank you.

i've already find these one :)

thats good but i was hoping to find a sprite sheete with torso and legs separate. also a bigger size would be nice.

i've done something but i've got some bug when the legs is a 90? of the body, you can see some parts of the legs you shouldnt see.

anyway, for the moment i let this aside. the legs will be pointing at the mouse, as the body and head. this a bit strange when the character strafe but its ok.

i'll show you when i make a dropbox account. soon !

hi

i'll look at it.

but i would like to do a "real" top down, so , no perspective.

hello !

im trying to achieve a topdown shooter.

im looking for an existing sprite sheet of a character type "hotline miami"

i intend to do my own sprite, but it would be helpful to see a working sprite sheet to base my work on it. i wasnt able to find one on internet so if someone have one and is ok to share it with me , it would be apprecied !

thank you very much !
