Having a bit of trouble with key is down, key is pressed, for example when i only press the key i want the character to do one step with "step animation", but when i hold the same key i want the character to run with "run animation".

What happens is that i press the key but he just does the "run animation". How do I solve this?

thanks in advance :)

just what i had in mind

Thanks!

Not sure if this has been asked before but i couldnt find much, it seems simple enough but nothing comes to my mind.

The idea is to have a couple of sprites/buttons.

A blank sprite (which will change colors) and colors

For example

BLUE RED GREEN (colors i can choose)

i decide to click in order

BLUE, BLUE, GREEN, RED

and then every x seconds sprite changes colors in the same chosen order

so thats it, any help would be much appreaciated. Thanks

huh, would you look at that, quite simple hah

I didnt think of putting for each only for unitA, i tried it with both units before but no success obviously.

Anyway thanks

So i posted a capx so you can see what i am talking about. Anyway a short intro first

Each unit has an attackSkill and deffendSkill and the rest of events calculate how the combat will play out according to their stats, you can see in the capx.

I didn't put in health or anything like that for the sake of simplicity.

So what is my problem?

As you will see the combat plays out nicely, but it plays out the same on all units. It shouldnt go like that each unit should fight on its own, its kinda hard to explain what i mean but check out the capx it will be pretty clear <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

Thanks in advance

In sprite conditions there is "is between angles", but i am not sure how to relate it to other object

For example

Sprite1 is between 0 and 90 degrees of Sprite2 :: (action goes here)

Thanks, i hope you understand what i am saying

I am currently using arrays to generate my terrain, and am doing it 100x100 as i am learning.

I just generate tiles which are small (6x6)

But I will need my terrain to be around 1000x1000, and when i set the array to 200x200, it is a bit laggy.

So am i doing something wrong, or is there a better way to do it.

Thanks

Thanks that worked really nice.

So i did play around with it and this is more or less the final stage of what i am trying to do

The formations must be flexible and that was what i was trying to do, if i had more time i would do more, but i dont (neither the time nor the skill)

So here is what i made

It's not done but its getting really close, there are some problems which i identified but i do not know how to solve them.

Alright so is it possible to move sprites in positions instead of creating them, let me elaborate

First i create 10 units

and then is use the same thing but instead of create unit at (loopindex("x")*32), (loopindex("y")*32)

i use set position on already created units.

I tried that but it places them in the same position

Maybe i should have explained the bug first. Pay atention to the first event

for "x" from 1 to squad.cols

and second event

Squad.cols=squad.units/squad.rows

it is basically 10/5, but for some reason the result isnt 2 its 3 (it should create 2 collumns insted of three)

EDIT: whoopsy found the issue, every tick that counts squad.units/squad.rows should go before the first event

works wonderfully, thanks

So now i was testing something and it seems that i have encountered a bug.

I'll post a capx

So ive been trying to figure this one out for quite some time now, from paper to construct, but it just doesnt work

I thought about pinning but firstly i need to get those sprites in formation somehow (lets say 9 sprites 3x3) i would like to achive that without click and drag.

The main problem is actually that i want formations to be changable like choosing how many rows i want (if i pick 4 rows,2 sprites should leave last two rows and form the fourth row)

I ve tried creating formations by firstly spawning sprites next to each other with a help of a small equation but i quickly encourted several problems, i thought about maybe making a "squad" container which would hold spots for soldier sprites but havent had the chance to test it yet.

So does anyone have any ideas or some refrences or examples they could point me towards, i did quite a bit of reaserch but not many helpful things have come up

Anyway thanks in advance.
