Need testers for new "engine"

I think you should study pyro's collision system

You know, you have a point there. That system is the best one on GE yet (and I'm even too stupid to figure out what parts of the code actually belong to it).

and camera
Zygo

what do you mean by his camera? screen wraping?

EDIT: now multiple save locations available, along with when you die you go back to the last save point, with 1 hitpoint, you get to keep the items you got, and the enemies come back. I think being able to keep your stuff, but having 1 hitpoint is a fair trade, how about you?

I think you should study pyro's collision system and camera--it is good for platformers like this.

lol, I upgraded both of these systems recently, but I haven't posted an example of them yet... Maybe I should! ttyl all!

jimmeh how do i make a rpg battlescreen im having way to many issues with my rpg as i got many things down but cant move onward with it since my fighting is with many issues/i got leveling up down and somewhat the stats though there are problems, somewhat ive figured out Melee-ranged-magic attack types but still many issues

*cough hack wheez* lol, just kiding, but it would be pretty neat

i'm having too much fun making this lol

@lex~~i can make an rpg battle demo tomarrow, right now i'm tired, and about to watch deadliest warrior(best show ever!!!)

aliright so i developed my own collision system, it's not as good as Pyro's but works the way it needs to for this game. the only problem is it works with clones, so i'm gonna have to tear down some long tile work and switch it to clones. so don't expect anything new for a while(even though you didn't before), but when i'm done, you'll see it was worth it


EDIT!!!!! Starting form scratch....i remember reading a post by DST about how it's ok to make more than one attempt. i realized that if i had so many bugs this early in development there could be a potential long term problem. I have made my own collision system, and i will make my own camera system. Now that i'm alot better with GE than when i started this projecet, i can fix all the bugs, but i have to start from ground zero, here goes!

see first post for new "engine" please test, and thank you

[Hblade]

Wow nice Jimmy .

[Kalladdolf]

This is quite a nice collision system, jimmy! Might one enquire how you made it?

[jimmynewguy]

lol, sure. it's basically a engine based off "floors" each line of tiles being it's own floor
[ ][ ][ ][ ][ ] floor 1
[ ][ ][ ][ ][ ] floor 2
[ ][ ][ ][ ][ ] floor 3
ect.
then i found the offset of the collision which was 151 pixles(idk why though sorry) so on top collision

Code: Select all

yvelocity = 0;
y = collide.y + 151;

left collision

Code: Select all

x -= 3;//how fast player moves opposite direction


same with right but opposite
bottom

Code: Select all

yvelocity = 0;
y = collide.y + 187;//offset 187 for some reason??


the offset is just like how many pixles off the tile was from the actuall actor if you get me(if not i can explain better i think)
so that has to tweak based of your tiles ect. it would be sooooooooooo much easier with tiled clones and right now mapping out each floor is rather difficult so i wouldn't recommend it over Pyro's or anything, but it works none the less, right?

[Kalladdolf]

Nice job of coming up with this, this is certainly a new (and nice) way of doing it!
Unfortunately, I couldn't possibly care about floors and special patterns in my game, but this might be useful for anyone else here.

[skydereign]

I used a similar concept for collisions, I think the number is the ground's y - 1/2 its height, -half your actor's height + any displacement... I think that is it, not sure though, my system was slightly different.
