  • Matching is generally done based on experience.

    As to logic, for my suggestion, simply add to experience for various actions, such as kills.

    As to implementation, whether based on games played or experience, you could have the host set a room name, involving his games played amount, or experience level.

    Like, host creates a room called: "deathmatch-10" (set room name: "deathmath-"&user.experience)

    when sorting the room lists, you can check the value of the experience level ( int(tokenat(roomname,1,"-")) )

    Then you can see the games host experience level before joining .... from there you can either directly allow if your level is higher or equal, or have a range allowed (host level + or - 5)

  • Your right.

    Hmm, the option says it wants to replace the current displaying animation frame.

    Have you tried adding a blanc frame, show that animation frame, then replace ?

  • That is expected behavior from what I can tell.

    Seeing as you change the sprite, all of its instances would change to that new sprite.

    You would simply need another unique/cloned sprite for the second image. ie sprite2

  • Yup, I use that approach too.

    If your moving objects between different scaled layers, keep in mind this can cause errors, the likes of "drawing instance on wrong layer" ones.

    lennaert: Tried this. You have keep clicking the zoom button over and over and over. Needs to be in a loop I guess.

    make a boolean somewhere boolean zoom, toggle it with your button

    event

    every tick

    sub

    zoom.active = true

    layoutscale > 0.37

    action

    set layoutscale = lerp(layoutscale, (viewportRight("hud") / layoutwidth), 0.5*dt)

    sub

    zoom.active=false

    sub

    layoutscale < 0.97

    action

    set layoutscale = lerp(layoutscale, 1, 0.5*dt)

    else

    action

    layoutscale = 1

    something along those lines

    the checks are to prevent the tiny itty bitty zooming

    edit:

    —

    lol no worries

  • zoom out

    set layoutscale = lerp(layoutscale, (viewportRight("hud") / layoutwidth), 0.5*dt)

    zoom back in

    set layoutscale = lerp(layoutscale, 1, 0.5*dt)

    I would really like the feature to set a room state, or some method so people in the lobby, but not in the room can see the current state of the room. (awaiting peers, open, closed, running, over etc etc etc)

    Right now, I have a nice lobby system with selected region options, and once joined the host can select the country (layout) to have the battle in ....

    But, once the game started, it still shows up in the lobby list because I do not have enough players according to the max, which could lock it, and prevent it from being seen in the lobby.

    Now, players can select to join a running game and enter the pre game lobby/room. Which is very undesirable.

    Atm I have no option to indicate whether or not players are allowed to join a game in progress which have less then the maximum allowed number of players.

    Some feedback would be nice ..

    I'm getting to the point where I am going to tell my webserver through ajax the state of a room and store it in a DB, and retrieve that .... but I will have to jump through many loops with room timeouts and none existent rooms in the background this way ...

    Options ? suggestions ?

    Various methods been mentioned in the thread.

    But the whole idea is to support multiple floors in the same layout.

    This can add more dimension and litterally extra depth to games.

    Its been updated a couple times and I had removed older versions.

    This version has some performance issues which have already been solved, but the newer version is not ready for testing yet.

    tommorow i ll upload on server and we can try , .

    simplicity is simply the best.....& U are the first tester who helped a lot

    Sounds good, looking forward to the results !!

  • How about checking the distance between the mouse and the pool que, and determine power from that ?

    mousebutton is down

    power = distance(que.X,que,Y,mouse.X,mouse.Y)

    You could ofc run the outcome of the distance calc through some formula so it fits your need.

    For aiming, I would use

    mouse is down

    que set angle to angle(mouse.X,mouse.Y,que.X,que.Y)

  • Yeah, I had seen your videos, looked pretty good, thats why I wanted to try.

    Tbh, for the level of details involved, it should not run so heavy.

    Perhaps time to optimize ?
