Hey newt !!

Thanks for the reply, although that isn't really what I'm looking for. I'm looking for help with the math involved as this is a big learning experience for me.

Here's the cap so you can see a few things I've tried (They aren't very good lol). I Just can't get my head around it... <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" title="Embarrassed">

Hello!

I am wondering how I'd go about making top down platforms work. My character is using the 8 Direction and Custom Movement behaviors (for some collisions).

I can't figure out how to get the player to stay with the platform and move around on it while the platform moves. Any help is appreciated!!!!

Here's a vid on what I'm talking about

Thanks, Bartosh!! You're the best!

Great advice, Octopus tophat! This brings it much better into perspective! I think I'll use your method instead.

Surprisingly, I found a work around! Will close this thread on request.

X = 100

a = random(0, 1) * X

b = random(0, 1 - a) * X

c = (1 - a - b) * X

Multiply X by a fraction that represents each object variable - the sum of the fractions should add up to 1.

Hey Colludium!

Thanks for the answer, but that's not exactly what I had in mind. I used X (100) as an example, but I'd prefer it to be dynamic as well as random. Say numbers like 317, or 61, you know, numbers that might not always be divisible by 5. Say I have something like three Stats, here are some example possible, desired outputs:

You get 22 points to be assigned (22 can't be divided by 3 cleanly).

-RNG build number 1-

Str: 5

Def: 8

Dex: 9

-RNG build number 2-

Str: 3

Def: 17

Dex: 2

-RNG build number 3-

Str: 0

Def: 0

Dex: 22

That way if I was to spawn items or mobs, it would scale with rarity. Say I want common objects to spawn with 52 points to use, while extremely rare spawns could use 133 points. If this doesn't make sense I am extremely sorry. If only there was a way to randomly select a private variable on an object I could keep assigning points and loop it until the stock was depleted. That was my original (hack) idea hahaha

Hello CC aficionados!

I've got a simple question that I can't figure out. I want a sprite to spawn then be given a private variable of "statues points" (let's say 100)

I want to be able to split those points randomly into five other private variables with it equaling the allocated "statues points" (100).

for example

Vit: 15

Dex: 17

Str: 35

Int: 20

Def: 13

Which all equals 100

tl; dr: dispersing a total point value, "X", randomly between multiple private variables that equals "X" when totaled

Thank you so much for the time!

Help is greatly appreciated!

Macbee This is fantastic! Can't believe I missed this one, thanks for the help!!

Hey, I gave this a shot, it looks fantastic! I've played good old Infantry too! I know this thread is a coming up to being a year old, but if you still have those files kicking around, I'd LOVE to check them out. I'd PM you, but I need to work on my cred some more. Even if you don't have them, I hope you pick this back up some day! Thanks

What's up guys! <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" />

I've been hunting the forum for a way to get chromatic aberration to work. Anyone got any hints? I don't really know how it works, but I'll post some examples.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Hello! Right now I'm prototyping a turn-based sort of game. You move units around and it creates a wall behind themselves, kind of the same way snake does. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" />

The trouble I'm having is, when you move a unit it spawns a tail piece that I'd like to give an individual private variable number to. Something like, if you move 4 spaces, create a trail of 4 tail pieces and number them 1, 2, 3, 4. I could give them a private variable when I spawn them, but I'd like it so if you lost a piece, the rest would be able to adjust accordingly.

For example, The unit has 4 pieces: 1, 2, 3, 4. Looses the number 3 piece then the others would recalculate their variables to 1, 2, 3 instead of 1, 2, 4.

If you want more info let me know. I've been searching keywords on the forum for an hour or two so I'd really appreciate a helping hand here! Thanks so much! <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /> <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /> <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" />
