Perfect Anti-Moonwalk

[Sgt. Sparky]

Here is the Perfect Anti-Moonwalk for people who are having trouble with there guys facing left when they go right ect. .
first: make a var called Left and Make a Var called Right and also a Var called AnimFinish. when the left key is pressed LEft = 1; and Same with the right(only use the Right Var) and o nthe animation finish event have this: AnimFinish = 1; also have that for when the left or right keys are released. and on the key down even of left have this script(if you do not want special vars see the middle of the page):

Code: Select all

Left = 1;
if (Left == 1 && Right == 0)
{
    ChangeAnimationDirection("Event Actor", FORWARD);
    xvelocity = - 3;
}
if (Left == 1 && Right == 1)
{
    xvelocity = 0;
}
if(AinimFinish == 1 && Left == 1 && Right == 0)
{
 ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "KnightLeft1", FORWARD);
 AinimFinish = 0;
}


and for the right key pressed:

Code: Select all

Right = 1;
if (Left == 0 && Right == 1)
{
    ChangeAnimationDirection("Event Actor", FORWARD);
    xvelocity = - 3;
}
if (Left == 1 && Right == 1)
{
    xvelocity = 0;
}
if(AinimFinish == 1 && Left == 0 && Right == 1)
{
 ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "KnightRight1", FORWARD);
 AinimFinish = 0;
}

remember to have Left and Right at 0 when both keys are up I hope that helps.
also for the repeated key down events, without any extra vars exept AnimFinish you could do For the key Right Event:

Code: Select all

char *key=GetKeyState();
if (key[KEY_RIGHT] == 1 && key[KEY_LEFT] == 0)
{
    x += 5;
    if(AnimFinish == 1)
    {
       ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "KnightRight1", FORWARD);
       AnimFinish = 0;
     }
}
if (key[KEY_RIGHT] == 1 && key[KEY_LEFT] == 1)
{
    ChangeAnimationDirection("Event Actor", FORWARD);
}


and for the repeated left use:

Code: Select all

char *key=GetKeyState();
if (key[KEY_RIGHT] == 0 && key[KEY_LEFT] == 1)
{
    x -= 5;
    if(AnimFinish == 1)
    {
       ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "KnightLeft1", FORWARD);
       AnimFinish = 0;
       }
}
if (key[KEY_RIGHT] == 1 && key[KEY_LEFT] == 1)
{
    ChangeAnimationDirection("Event Actor", FORWARD);
}

you could also use xvelocity += or -= or = instead of x += or x -=
or x *= or x /= ect.

I think that's too complicated way to have just perfect walking left and right with left and right animation.
I think you can make it lots easier, I'll try to make you a demo in some days.

it is not code for just left and right walking, it is to keep the actor looking the direction He is going,
and it allows you to add sprint stuff alot easier.
do you know what moonwalking is?
it is when the actor looks right when he is going left,
that code eliminates that factor.

[Troodon]

I know what moonwalking is in GE and in real life.
I used to delete moonwalking in another way, but I guess this is like you said easier to import sprint stuff.

If you take a look in my Mini Cross platform game on the demo page, I think i have the easiest code around it, and (For me) Its very easy to add stuff etc...

[Sgt. Sparky]

well I like mine better

[Rufus 01]

Hmmm...

Don't really works by me...
can only run to the right....
!!??HELP!!??

€dit: oppps sry I have forget a little bit of the code

[Sgt. Sparky]

That is what the code does, only with animations

[Sgt. Sparky]

Here is some of it with input that you can Add
Player -> Draw Actor

Code: Select all

char *key=GetKeyState();
yvelocity += .5;
if(key[KEY_DOWN] == 1)
{
    Roll = 1;
}
if(key[KEY_DOWN] == 0)
{
    Roll = 0;
}
if(key[KEY_DOWN] == 1 && key[KEY_RIGHT] == 0 && key[KEY_LEFT] == 0)
{
    ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "CL1", STOPPED);
    animpos = 0;
}
if (key[KEY_RIGHT] == 0 && key[KEY_LEFT] == 1)
{
    if(Jump == 0)xvelocity = -5;
    if(Jump == 1 && xvelocity > -5)xvelocity -= 1;
    if(AnimFinish == 1 && Roll == 0)
    {
       ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "CowBoyLeft2", FORWARD);
       AnimFinish = 0;
    }
    if(AnimFinish == 1 && Roll == 1)
    {
       ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "CL1", FORWARD);
       AnimFinish = 0;
    }
}
if (key[KEY_RIGHT] == 1 && key[KEY_LEFT] == 0)
{
    if(Jump == 0)xvelocity = 5;
    if(Jump == 1 && xvelocity < 5)xvelocity += 1;
    if(AnimFinish == 1 && Roll == 0)
    {
       ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "CowBoyRight2", FORWARD);
       AnimFinish = 0;
    }
    if(AnimFinish == 1 && Roll == 1)
    {
       ChangeAnimation("Event Actor", "CR1", FORWARD);
       AnimFinish = 0;
    }
}
if (key[KEY_RIGHT] == 1 && key[KEY_LEFT] == 1)
{
    ChangeAnimationDirection("Event Actor", STOPPED);
}
if (key[KEY_RIGHT] == 0 && key[KEY_LEFT] == 0)
{
    ChangeAnimationDirection("Event Actor", STOPPED);
}
if(key[KEY_UP] == 1 && Jump == 0)
{
    yvelocity = - 10;
    Jump = 1;
    PlaySound2("data/SpringishSound2.wav", 0.466667, 1, 0.000000);
}

I'm still having a problem with the 'moonwalking' even if I enter the codes above. Could somebody help me please. I'm just a newbie in GE.

[Sgt. Sparky]

e-mail me the project to my hotmail
(.ged and data files)
I Will see what I can do

[pavel329]

great codes.thanks sparky.

[Sgt. Sparky]

you are welcome.

i know a way of an anti moonwalk but i don't know how to make it in a script, if u can make the actor flip horrizontily ull need half of the animations and no moonwalk
