Move to nullify gravity ?

[sonicforvergame]

well i was working on my game
when i realise that if i add move to action to an actor the gravity that i added to the same actor dosen't count anymore
the actor well ,just float in the air moving to the player

Is there any way for an actor to go to the player with it being on the ground
Note: the actor is chasing the player so i can't just add an x velocity event for the actor or else it will just go one way without chasing the player

You can do a sort of if statement like this on the enemy's Draw Actor event:

Code: Select all

if(player.x < x)
{
    xvelocity = -5;
}
else
{
    xvelocity = 5;
}


Which will move the enemy left if the player is to the left, and right if the player is to the right.

yeah that really nice !
thanks
oh and by the way i just wanted to say that you have

and one last thing
is there any way that i can make the actor move, at the point that it can be seen in the view?

We can add another "IF" statement to make sure it only moves when it's on-screen.

Code: Select all

if(xscreen > (0 - width) && xscreen < view.width && yscreen > (0 - height) && yscreen < view.height)
{
      if(player.x < x)
      {
          xvelocity = -5;
      }
      else
      {
          xvelocity = 5;
      }
}
else
{
    xvelocity = 0;
}


How this works is that && is the AND operator. The code inside will only activate if all four of those conditions are true.
The first one is "xscreen > (0 - width)". This checks if the current actor's horizontal position on the screen (xscreen) is more than "0 - width". The "- width" portion makes sure that if just a pixel of the actor is on screen, it'll still be moving, otherwise it would stop as soon as it got off screen.
Then the second one is "xscreen < view.width", which checks if the actor's horizontal position isn't over the right border of the screen.
Then the same thing is more or less repeated for the actor's vertical position.

Then that last else statement is there so that if one of those conditions isn't met (the actor is off-screen) then we set its xvelocity to 0 so it isn't moving.
