I'm playing with a pathfinding, I have a sprite "Soldier" and a "Player". For soldier I have a custom pathfinding where a path is made of sprite objects, named "wp", aligned to a 32x32 tile grid. Each "wp" has is own PV "id", it's a number 1,2,3... up to X. Where 1 is the node closest to the Soldier, on the path to the Player and X is closest node to the Player.

It works ok, only looks robotic. I've read in an article about A* pathfinding, that I could smooth the path to make it look more natural, with the line of sight. The method should be like:

node 1 has clear view to node 3 > delete node 2....

I added LOS behavior to the "wp", but I don't know how to differentiate each node, how to pick node 1 and node 3 etc.

I thought, I could add the cap

don't mind numbers on the map, they have no purpose yet.

and the problem is in the event 14

I think, the problem with the link is, instead "&" symbol there is %26. I've changed it back to "&", if it still doesn't work, use one of the links below.

You can add to the 5th event new condition which will compare the angle of the goomba and if the angle is 0 (goomba isn't upside down) - it will send the mage to the start. It will look something like this.

+ System: On collision between goomba (Pick) and mage (Pick)

+ goomba: Angle Equal to 0

-> mage: Flash for 1 seconds with 0.1 seconds interval

-> mage: Start ignoring user input

-> Wait: Delay 1000 ms

-> mage: Set position to 480, 325

-> mage: Stop ignoring user input

Brashmonkey - didn't you make a Construct demo with this character 2-3 years ago. I think, I've played it and I remember I liked how grass and trees were animated. One of the first things I've seen made with Construct.

I've tried to play the demo again on my desktop pc, which has a better video card (8800gt) and it runs perfectly, also the problem in the second level where I couldn't jump on higher platforms was performace problem. I'd never thought, that framerate could be that important, but if I bought the game and played it on the laptop, I'd get stuck in the 2nd level.

At animator tab for the player, select the angle and change "Repeat #" to 1

For me it runs best at the start of 2-1, where are only tree tops and sky. There is another issue, when I press left alt, it puts light blue color over the screen which covers everything except numbers.

Totally agree, we need that. (also would be great if there was one video format).

What if I'll make a Czech translation of the page (and I believe, there are users who'd translate it into other languages). Would it be possible to switch the language automatically according to the ip of a viewer? I you're ok, I could send you the translation tomorrow.

Destroying it should do it, or is there another problem?

So when new challenge starts? Sorry, couldn't wait anymore<img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

I am trying come up with 'random level' generator...

It shouldn't be hard, but maybe it just doesn't look difficult <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> . Anyway, everthing sounds good, gl with creating.

It looks very polished, everything works as it should. I have mixed feelings from it, it looks good, nice effects, but I haven't used them much. They come too easy and there is lot of them, I didn't know what scrolls/tomes do. There isn't much of a challenge, I was just pressing left/right and sometimes up/down, but there was no timing, I just wanted to see how an effect looks like rather than to help me get rid of bugs or whatever it should do.

I'll wait for next versions, good luck! <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
