here is the

Code: Select all

if (animpos < angle)animpos += 5;
if (animpos > angle)animpos -= 5;

but if the animpos is 0-5 and the angle is bout' 360 or somthin' the kayak spins round' the other way and it makes the game look stupid any help would be nice. [/code]
and is there a way to use between codes like:

Code: Select all

if (animpos <10, angle > 350)animpos = angle;

???
EDIT: oh, I feel stupid I just figured it out. but it is choppy, I am still open to Ideas Here is the Code now

Code: Select all

if (animpos < 7, angle > 353)animpos = angle;
if (animpos > 353, angle < 7)animpos = angle;
if (animpos < angle-7)animpos += 5;
if (animpos > angle+7)animpos -= 5;

for best results coding this style of movement, it is a good idea to store 2 angle variables.

1. the real angle variable, the angle you render the boat at
2. the directional angle, the angle the boat wants to be facing

Have a piece of code in a timer that converges the real angle towards the directional angle, then you can just have a simple piece of code in the boats drawing event to say animpos = realangle;

You're kind of doing this at the moment but using the animpos variable as the real angle, which is integer data type so you'll get jumpy results. Use float or double for angles, vectors, speeds, etc!

instead of using "," use "&&", when having some script, it may do the action whiteout order, which cause problems.

no thank you morcior, if the animpos = the angle the when I hit the wall all of the sudden the kayak turns a round wich does not look realistic but thank you for posting a reply

well then, do this int he draw actor also:

Code: Select all

animpos=angle/360*nframes;

and you can use the code sugjested by morcior

but it does not look realistic, Imagine a Plane Flying 750MPH south, then all of te Sudden it is facind North going at 750MPH I am content with my code I am sorry If I have bothered you.

Shouldn't the boat just stop if it hits a wall? The theory I provided would not turn the boat around in such an event!

Oh well you're happy so lets leave it there

argh, in the game if the boat stopped then you would have to regain all of that speed(wich is not much)and it would make the game less fun, plus there are "rapids"(they don't really look like rapids)round' some of the rocks and the boat kinda' turns into the rapids an' stuff
and when it hit a wall going fast and all of the sudden stopped, it would not look all that great but maybe somhow I should just get makslane to delet this topic cus' it was pointless to post it in the first place sorry if I seem mad
