rotation problem

[BogdansB]

HELLO,

when i use the code

Code: Select all

angle=direction(x, y, enemy.x, enemy.y); //test angle
animpos=angle/360*nframes;




to rotate my sprites , the player "flys" to the enemy , its like move to, but he rotates... i tried to fix it by chaging the angle with another variable , but than he doesnt rotate... how can i fix it?

Changing both lines' angle to your newly created one should work. I can post an example of it working if you still can't get it to work.

yes please

In fact, since aside from rotating you don't need the variable you should just do this. That way you never change the angle of the enemy.

Code: Select all

animpos = direction(x, y, enemy.x, enemy.y)/360*nframes;

right thanks it works

]If you would like to center your rotation, you could use the "round" feature and a simple IF statement to offset the final frame of your rotation.

Example:

Code: Select all

int MyDirection;
angle = direction(xscreen, yscreen, xmouse, ymouse);//direction toward mouse position//
MyDirection=round(angle/360*nframes);
if (MyDirection=='max frame')  //*'max frame'=last frame # of animation sequence, example: 16 frame animation, 'max frame'=16*//
MyDirection=0;
animpos=MyDirection;


This will center your actors rotation for each frame. For instance on a 16 frame rotation, you actor will face directly right from approx. 349.5° to approx. 11.4° instead of 0° to 22.5°.
I'm sure there is an easier way but this works great for all my games.

Hope this helps.
