I have a few questions

[RedvsBlue126]

1. How do you make your player move using the arrow keys?
2. How do you make an item "solid" so things dont fall throught it?

[BlarghNRawr]

newbie?
1- in the actor control use a keydown event (and press the right arrow key) then click script editor... put in exactly

Code: Select all

xvelocity = xvelocity = +5;

then do the same thing for the left arrow key, only putting the in left arrow key and -5; instead of +5;.. Make sense?

2- put collision event, then the physical response event... then change the thirs value to 0.. make sense as well?

[RedvsBlue126]

I have found if you want the character to stop when you let go to enter "x = x + 5"

also, how do you make your player change directions when going the other way?
How do you make your player shoot?

I also have a problem that whenever my platform is uneven my player falls through it

[Bee-Ant]

Make 2 integer actor variables called :
1. right
2. anim

how do you make your player change directions when going the other way?

Player>KeyDown>Left

Code: Select all

x-=3;
right=0;
if(anim==0)
{
    ChangeAnimation("Event Actor","WalkLeft",FORWARD);
    anim=1;
}

Player>KeyDown>Right

Code: Select all

x+=3;
right=1;
if(anim==0)
{
    ChangeAnimation("Event Actor","WalkRight",FORWARD);
    anim=1;
}

Player>AnimationFinish>AnyAnimation

Code: Select all

anim=1;

How do you make your player shoot?

Player>KeyDown>Shoot

Code: Select all

if(right==1)
{
    ChangeAnimation("Event Actor","ShootRight",FORWARD);
}
if(right==0)
{
    ChangeAnimation("Event Actor","ShootLeft",FORWARD);
}
//CreateActor=>Ammo

Player>AnimationFinish>ShootRight

Code: Select all

ChangeAnimation("Event Actor","StopRight",FORWARD);

Player>AnimationFinish>ShootLeft

Code: Select all

ChangeAnimation("Event Actor","StopLeft",FORWARD);

Ammo>CreateActor>

Code: Select all

if(Player.right==1)
{
    angle=0;
}
if(Player.right==0)
{
    angle=180;
}
directional_velocity=15;

I also have a problem that whenever my platform is uneven my player falls through it

Are you sure your collision event is repeated???I mean have you clicked "No" to "Yes" on the collision event dialog???

Actually this is the 1xxth question about this stuff...just search them

[RedvsBlue126]

Could you be more specific on the shooting part, I put in what's in the box and it wont accept it.

[RedvsBlue126]

If shooting is too hard to explain, could you tell me how to make something appear right in front of the character when I hit a key and dissapear when I let go of it but it always be in the same spot in front of the character no matter where it is and appear on the other side of the character when it is facing the other way?

[Bee-Ant]

Did you copy-paste my code???thats bad.
Do you know how to create actor?

[RedvsBlue126]

I actually figured out how to shoot by reading another topic, so all I really need now is help making enemies that shoot at you like once every few seconds instead of constantly.

[BlarghNRawr]

make a random timer for about 3000 to 6000 and set it to repeat forever

then when the timer finishes make a shot created

[RedvsBlue126]

How do I make it so that when the player is destroyed the view's parent changes to an offscreen player and the screen moves to that player every time I try to make the view change parents it just falls when the player is destroyed

[Bee-Ant]

Oh my...this stuff is just need variable+IF function playing...

Code: Select all

if(variable1==1)
{
    //change view parent to offscreen
}
if(variable1==0)
{
    //change view parent to player
}

Etc...etc...
Btw, I'm lazy too describe this...quite long codes
Anyone can help???

[RedvsBlue126]

am I allowed to upload games anywhere for anyone to play? like not just ppl who have ge? do I have to get the full version to do this?

[BlarghNRawr]

you dont need ge to play a game if its is exported, and you dont need the full version to export
file => export

[RedvsBlue126]

yes but am I allowed to export it anywhere if it is made with ge?

[BlarghNRawr]

if you dont have the full version, you cant make and icon for the game(it will always be the ge symbol), in the bottom left corner it will say made with game editor, and you can only export games for windows executable...
thoe are the only drawbacks for not having full version
