[Sgt. Sparky]

I just started now on this tetris game, And I need sombody to figure out what is wrong... I'm just too frustrated with it.
first the animations would not change, then the tetris thingies started sticking to each other.
just please help me out with making the pieces Glitch free.

do a search on these forums for tetris or maybe even puzzle...
but anywayz i'm tryin' it too & what nobody seems to be saying quite yet is
make the tetris actor a text actor and use scripting
my script right now is the mouse down-Leftclick on a filled region covering view:
[code]
pumpkisI.textNumber=+1;
if (pumpkisI.textNumber>4);
{
pumpkisI.textNumber=1;
}
before it was just line1 and was on the text actor. but even that way needs perfecting of not leaving the text boundaries.
maybe we can help each other?

oops typo in my script
plus i don't seem to know how to put a script into a window on a post properly. well here ya go:

Code: Select all

pumpkisI.textNumber=pumpkisI.textNumber+1;
if (pumpkisI.textNumber>4);
{
    pumpkisI.textNumber=1;
}


hope this helps! Thanx...

okay,
I am confused.
if you are asking about the code you must change your current code to,

Code: Select all

pumpkisI.textNumber += 1;
if (pumpkisI.textNumber>4)
{
    pumpkisI.textNumber=1;
}

hey got your message thanx, but how do i invert the script above for the opposite direction. PS it works great so far! Thanks again...

Code: Select all

pumkisT.textNumber -= 1;
if (pumkisT.textNumber<1)
{
    pumkisT.textNumber=4;
}

???

[Kid_Fisto]

sorry bout that i just figured it out

Code: Select all

pumkisT.textNumber -= 1;
if (pumkisT.textNumber<1)
{
    pumkisT.textNumber=4;
}

i just reversed the values
& switched the "if...then" numbers.
Thanks so much this works great!
enjoy everyone:

Code: Select all

text_actor.textNumber += 1;
if (text_actor.textNumber>4)
{
    text_actor.textNumber=1;
}


Code: Select all

text_actor.textNumber -= 1;
if (text_actor.textNumber<1)
{
    text_actor.textNumber=4;
}

sorry again either i'm typing wrong
or the forum code thingy keeps converting my "minus signs"
into "underscores."

[Kid_Fisto]

OKAY, new problem...
how do i do gravity with a text actor
when text actors do not allow collision events.
again keeping tetris idea in mind(i.e. i'll take any thing).

[Kid_Fisto]

i took a brief look at yer game
maybe you've heard this, but
there's definitely something wrong with your collision.
e.g. if i make a collision event calculated with the final velocity multiplier being 0
then hopefully it won't bounce...
other than that i think you just need more space for your tetrese.
so try incorporating those ideas!
