Ask a Question / Re: Question - How to use a List to generate Actors?
« on: September 30, 2013, 08:42:57 pm »
Hi, I want to use Game Attribute List and not the local List as I want the values to be stored and transferred to another scene. I hope that's what you meant.

Ask a Question / Re: How can I make side-scroller enemies attack?
« on: September 30, 2013, 08:35:07 pm »
Hello,

You can use the "Follow Target" behavior on your enemies and set the following as below.

Choose the Actor type to be your hero. It should work, for following.

After which, whatever random actions you want your enemies to do, you have to set conditions.

IF you want the enemies to be PASSIVE and only attack if you wander close enough, you may need to create regions around the enemies upon spawn and if Hero steps onto said region, enemies trigger Follow Target behavior as mentioned above.

Ask a Question / Question - How to use a List to generate Actors?
« on: September 30, 2013, 08:29:45 pm »
Hello all,

I am trying to create an inventory system.

My idea is to have a list of items in a inventory shop, when you purchase an item, it is added to a list (Let's call it Inventory_BOUGHT).

So for each item in Inventory_BOUGHT, I want to generate actors to show up as Icons for the player to equip, in another scene/page. I understand from Stencylpedia that you can add, replace or remove to a list easily, but getting the data from the list is a challenge for me, I could not figure out how to use the Getters.

How is the flow:

Shop > Item(s) bought gets added to List > Generates Actors in next scene to be Equipped, from List.

Any experts with experience with the List mind lending a hand? :)

Hi,

It is really difficult to use a mouse to click on those notes, since they come at once. Would be nice if you can use the keyboard for mutiple entries.

Is this going to be PC/flash only or mobile? If this is going to be mobile, the speed of the notes might be a little too fast for a mobile user to catch due to the difficulty in using a mobile device to play such games.

Thanks for the feedback.

1) The characters actually have a round shaped collision, that's why when they near the edge of the block, they will slide and bounce off. I tried with a square collision and indeed they seem to work out easier but another problem surfaced. It seems that when they are walking across other blocks, sometimes they get stuck and have to do a little jump to get past. I am still exploring on how to fix that.

2) Might be a problem with screen transition, will check it out.

3) I am attempting to put in another sort of free play mode where it is a fully enclosed room and you try to bounce around in an attempt to reach a high score, it will unlock after you beat the final stage as some sort of reward but i have not put in the demo version. That will be in the future version, 1.1.

Ask a Question / Re: Cannot test on mobile devices (iOS/Android)
« on: August 20, 2013, 05:25:25 am »
I am a Windows user as well and I have similar problems.

When I was using Stencyl 2.1, my game cannot be built, I kept getting error logs, I had everything - p12, provisioning, dev licenses etc etc and yet I get the error about my code not signed. Then, I tried Stencyl 3.0 and my game is stuck for half an hour while trying to run a test for IOS. The "Creating IPA" kept on running and running.....

If there are any successful Windows user who are able to build a game and test on a device, please guide us. Thanks.

Hi, I have tried to make a test version for my game for IOS but I kept getting a few errors:

1) error: /Users/StencylBuild/temp/graphicsxtlas19.xml: No such file or directory

2) error: /Users/StencylBuild/temp/graphicsxtlas17.xml: No such file or directory

3) Codesign check fails : /Users/StencylBuild/temp/Build/Release-iphoneos/AppScaffold.app: code object is not signed at all

I have already specified my provisioning profile for Appstore and Adhoc, p12 and Mac device.

I did not encounter any Atlas error when uploading the game.

Any advice on how to proceed would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi all,

I am trying to test my game on my iPhone and I received this error when I tried to publish my game via Stencyl -> publish -> iOS (Ad-Hoc). I already have an Apple Dev License and already generated the provisioning profile, all the settings in the preferences are already set.

I am a windows user and have been following the guide for windows user to publish my game.

This is the error message that was sent to me.

Thanks for your help.

Ask a Question / How to update Actor ID in game?
« on: May 30, 2013, 11:31:03 pm »
Hi all,

I am quite new to Stencyl, thus I hope you will be patient with me. :)

I am trying to create a property of an Actor; (let's call it's ID Player1), in which when the Actor achieves a certain amount of points i.e. 20 points for upgrade, the Actor will increase in size (tweening). However, when the Actor increases in size, the ID of the Actor remains the same, Player1.

I would like to ask if there is any way to update the Actor's ID from Player1 to Player2 when it receives the upgrade and changes in size.

I know I can just kill the Actor and replace with a bigger sprite but that is not my goal.

Thank you. :)

Ask a Question / Game Engine Creation for Level Generation
« on: May 30, 2013, 10:39:02 pm »
Hi all,

I have just started to try out Stencyl yesterday and I tried to make a simple game with it, it was a joy to use.  :) However, I realized that while it is great for coding individual actors and scenes, if I were to create an entire new level/scene, I would have to recode some basic logic that I have been using for all the actors and I find it a chore to do so every time I create a new level.

Is there a way for me to create a custom engine or a set of behaviors to be used through out my whole game? I.e. a set of logic that can be applied to all actors etc.

Thanks. :)

PS: The favorites option doesn't work well for this purpose.
