Map Test(like Castelvania:SOTN, and Metroid)

[RippeR7420]

This is a little demonstration of how I would do a map like in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Or Metroid.
It's not perfect, but I hope it will help someone out there

CONTROLS:
Arrow Keys: Move
M: Show/Hide Map

I have attached the .EXE and a .GED file so you could look at/alter the code.
and if you would like to use the graphics I created for the map, Be my guest.





This is a screenshot of the game-play. I used very basic Script, so please excuse the errors(If you find any).
and Very simple graphics also. (If you would like to use that tile-set, Go ahead)



I hope this helps!!!

cool !


found a bug though. That is:
When you press M just before you hit the ground while falling, then exit the map, the tiles vanish.

[RippeR7420]

Haha thanks Hblade! And yeah I noticed that also. Should be an easy fix though. I think it has something to do with when you press M down, it changes the value of the variable. And when you release M, it sets the event.

oh ^^'

I love this map idea though! its amazing.

Fantastic.

Just looking through the coding was inspiring, and i like the colour changes for some reason.

+1! (when i can, i just recently gave one!)

Nice job, I've liked this type of map, I'll add this to my Techniques Often Used In Games post, I forgot to add this kind of map. But nice job! I +1ed by the way

Yeah, though its often, most times its pretty cool.

Hey, pretty cool, nice work dude!

When you press M just before you hit the ground while falling, then exit the map, the tiles vanish.

The tiles don't vanish, the player falls through them into the void because his yvelocity doesn't change when using EventDisable();
So, his collision events are off, but he has his yvelocity and that makes him fall through the tiles.

@RippeR7420: To fix the bug, just simply set Player.yvelocity to 0 before disabling his events.
Or if you want to make it even better, make a variable, store players yvelocity to it, then set the yvelocity to 0 and when enabling players actions again set his yvelocity equal to the number stored into the variable! =)

Very good work RippeR!

I did the exact same thing when making AXRIA long ago, before i gave up with the menus and went to a normal pause function!

Good times =)

haha, yeah I know

it only took me about an hour, and i didnt really test play it too much, just made sure the map worked
