Gobsmacked!!

Bit of a challenge eh? ...show off.. ha ha.

Incredible stuff.....as an artist coming into game dev, I have...so....so...so much to learn.

It's like starting from scratch all over again.

Played around with C2 years before it went subscription model.. then stopped...just starting up again.

Will be diving into both the capx's, and hopefully, emerge wiser and more knowledgeable.

If my brain can wrap around the innards ...that is :)

Many thanks..

Much appreciated.

Wow!!

Thank you for a super quick response.

I think this a super great starting point for what I'd like to achieve...in fact what I have in mind is far less complex.

will give it a go and see how far I can take it.

Thanks again.

A little puzzle platformer in progress..

with soooo much help from the guys at the forums...thankyou for being an awesome bunch..

You could have an invisible sprite that describes the area of effect.

then in the logic..have your controls active only when in touch with that sprite?

what happens when you have multiple sprites in the family??and the hitbox is pinned to the family object??

When I tried it just stayed with one sprite.The first on the family list.

This is strange.

Your having that object in a family doesn't really affect pinning behavior.

If the hitbox code says for example

OnStartOfLayout>HitBox>PinToObject>Sprite

This will keep it pinned to that particular sprite.

Might be best to link your .capx file here.Might be some minor thing you overlooked.

Again 'Variables" are the answer

Make one called "specialPower" (call it anything you like)

Then for every enemy or special enemy killed add value to that variable.

Example

enemySpecial destroyed ...add 10 to specialPower.

then have condition that is true only when the value of the variable specialPower is a pre decided one .

Example

if specialPower>=100 then.....special move "kaboom" is active

Im sure there are many ways to approach this but this is pretty straight forward.

CoinOp Story : Arcandis Ruins first visual.

That water looks awesome. Love the visual style.

make a a family called "player' or some such thing...and put your player characters in there

then

make a family called "weapons" put your tv and other pickup-ables in there...

On the weapons family add the pin behaviour.

condition

WeaponsFamily on collision with player family...

pin to object--player family.

This way you can keep adding different weapons ,,all you need to do is add them to the family called "weapons" or what ever you call it.

That is sooo much fun...and love the art..

It would be really nice to have keys for drum...its really hard to keep time with the mouse click..

excellent work....
