Ask a Question / Fabric(ish) Behaviour

« on: November 30, 2017, 02:36:07 pm »

How would one go about getting something to behave like the ribbon on the spear in this gif?: https://giant.gfycat.com/GrayVainArgali.gif

I tried using the Follow Target behavior on a whole bunch of little pieces, all of which followed the piece in front of them, but it didn't really work. It also doesn't make it very easy to add effects to it like being blown in the wind and whatnot.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Ask a Question / HTML

« on: October 21, 2017, 03:14:09 pm »

Just a random question.

With Flash dying out, and Chrome dropping support for it, when HTML fully launches, will it be free to publish on HTML, or will you have to buy a subscription? It just seems like for the people who make browser games with the free version of Stencyl it would be better if they could still have access to most browsers.

Just a question, not begging for a completely free program or anything.

Ask a Question / Gravity Switching Glitches

« on: October 20, 2017, 02:35:10 pm »

I'm trying to make a puzzle platformer that manipulates gravity. I have the gravity changing down, I'm just trying to make the player character not glitch out when on different surfaces.

Right now I can functionally run around and jump on the ceiling all I want, but for some reason, no matter what I try, the jump animation is reversed, and the fall animation is for some reason just the idle animation. Walking on the walls is insanely glitchy, but I'll get into that later, or in another thread. Right now I just want to get the ceiling animations working.

I've attached the .stencyl file because I have no clue what I'd need to show you guys to get the point across, so I think just showing you the game would be better. I'm using the platformer kit and editing it, just so you know.

Controls are arrow keys for movement, WASD for gravity. The test level start with gravity off, so you need to press one of the WASD keys to get it going.

P.S.: At least my hitboxes are good...

Ask a Question / [SOLVED] Major Collision Problems

« on: September 12, 2017, 06:09:12 pm »

I have attached several screenshots with debug drawing on below. 1 is how it should be normally.

2 sometimes occurs when turning around.

3 happens when walking away from walls.

4 happens whenever I walk downwards on that bridge area.

5 happens when turning around to get back on the bridge.

6 occurs while walking around in the water.

I've found that I can get out of the water by getting stuck to the wall, attacking, turning around, and attacking again, but that really shouldn't have to be done. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this, can someone please help?

Thanks!

Ask a Question / [SOLVED] How to make typewritten text?

« on: August 17, 2017, 12:41:12 pm »

I'm trying to make scrolling text as in text where each character gets put on screen one after the other, like Zelda or Undertale. I've tried doing this by doing something like the below code, but that only draws the first character, then stops. Any ideas?

P.S. I do know about the Dialog Extension, but it refuses to work for me...

Ask a Question / [SOLVED] Actor REFUSES to die.

« on: July 19, 2017, 02:35:06 pm »

I have an actor that is in the game currently just for looks. I have it set up so that when a boolean game attribute becomes true, it kills itself.

It doesn't die though. Does anyone know why?

Thanks for any help given!

Ask a Question / [UNSOLVED] Back And Forth Horizontally Behavior acting up?

« on: April 05, 2017, 12:39:14 pm »

So I made an enemy, tried to code the movement myself, but ended up settling for the above behavior.

I want it to move at speed 10, but it won't. I found that it works fine at speed 500, or even 100, but much below that and it won't work anymore.

I tried speed 50, and it surged ahead - and stopped a tile away from the wall.

Can anyone help with this?

I'm using build 8868, if that helps.

If you need any other information, just let me know.

Ask a Question / Too many players being spawned.

« on: February 21, 2017, 08:05:03 pm »

Hi.

So, I got my checkpoints to work properly after a while of fiddling around. However, after dying and respawning several times, the game begins to lag a lot. I believe that this is because I am spawning more than one player every time. Does anyone know how to help? I am attaching the screenshot of my code.

Ask a Question / Stencyl and Windows 10 Incompatible?

« on: May 18, 2016, 11:13:03 am »

So I updated to Windows 10 and ever since then Stencyl has shrank my sprites by 4, and when I place my custom tiles, they get all weird, duplicated and tiny. Also, when I changed to a premade tileset, my code would not work! Help please!

When I test the game Mambo will walk but be stuck in the jump animation, unable to jump. When Mambo could jump, the enemies could not be killed. Also, the blocks I placed on the bottom of the stage ended up on the top! Please help!
