Walking and Turning

[CatT]

How can I make my actor on a level cross the level from left to right, turn around and then go back left? (And still be able to jump.) Is there a demo that illustrates this? Do I have to make four animations?

Also is it possible to make an actor just disappear after he says something?

[CatT]

I just found a demo in another thread that may answer the first half of my post:

If not, I'll post again. : ) Right now I'm just having fun playing that demo although I'm stuck.

[Game A Gogo]

if you need help understanding the demo, ask me.

I will ask you, thanks! Right now I'm looking at the script on the sprites to figure out how you put them in.

I wish the demo were longer because it's fun. : )

then, if you like that game, im sure you cant wait to see Jason's World - The adventure begins, it isnt like the demo ive sent a couple of month ago! it will be a little like the one you saw.

I haven't been around here that long to have seen that if you posted anything about it here before. But I will be very happy to try it. : )

Game a Gogo --What's the function of your Center Actor? I see it's scripted to affect Player and its x and y coordinates.

Thanks again for this demo!

I have a very nice actor that can walk smoothly north, south, west and east, but she can't jump. I've tried using script on her that I've used successfully before to make a character who could walk only west and east jump, but it doesn't work out. Is there a way to do this smoothly?

#1-it follows the player because if i only would set the view parented to the player, the display on the screen would the same Z depht as the player, causing gliches.

#2-Explain what your doing.

#1--OK!

#2 I'm doing two things. One is for myself---I would like to make a side scrolling platform game where the player can walk and jump as in a side scroller---your demo is very helpful there. In other words, you usually see the player walking or jumping left or right, up or down and maybe spinning around. I'm OK with that.

The other thing I'm doing is for an 11 year old kid who's using Game Editor and wants to make a Legend of Zelda type game where you walk around finding things and don't jump.

But I was wondering if you can walk around in every direction AND jump. : )

I'm OK on the side scroller with the walking and jumping.

But for the Zelda type game, I can't get the creature to jump without losing my gorgeous walking--without the jumping, she walks beautifully, north, south, west and east. With the jumping coded in, she gets clunky and all messed up. But then Link in some of the Zelda games doesn't jump so maybe I'm asking too much.

He did make a good demo. : ) )

[pavel329]

i know.but he messed me up when he tried to help me with some game sprites.so i just have to call him clueless.he made me spend 2 hours trying to get some sprites until he finnally figured out i can't.C.L.U.E.L.E.S.S

[pavel329]

wait!did you say zelda games?i am making a mario sidescrolling game and a zelda game just like wat your talking about.

[pavel329]

i really don't see how it would be easy to see a character jump when your looking down on him.but i'll try to figure something out for ya.


oh and yes link does jump in the game.he uses a feather.and he also jump off cliffs.

He kind of flies a little bit! : ) If I can get that effect plus the nice walking I have now, I'd be happy. Thanks.

What kind of sprites specifically are you looking for?
