Ask a Question / How to Rotate actors by a point in the center of the screen?

« on: January 01, 2013, 12:15:27 pm »

Hello. I plan on making a mini-game, within a collection of minigames, and one of them involves turning an actor around a point in the center of the screen. I would like to avoid using one big actor, as I would have to adjust the collision detectors frequently. How can I do this?

This is the actor, by the way.

Game Art / Music I make: Electronic

« on: December 14, 2012, 06:50:17 pm »

Aside from games like, "It's Raining Crates," I also create electronic music. I go by MV's Projects. The genres vary from house, to electro, to dubstep (although not often), and drum and bass, which I will publish in a later song.

I publish the songs via YouTube, but they are also available on SoundCloud and other sites.
My YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/MVsProjects

I highly suggest "Wildfire," and "Inspiration."

P.S. I can also make royalty-free music, which are identified by the videos with the blue-screens.

Old Bugs (1.x/2.x) / Spawning an Actor Problem.

« on: May 05, 2012, 11:49:39 am »

I am doing another project which involves spawning blocks randomly to make a tower, but for some reason they keep spawning all over the place, and they multiply like crazy.

I have set them on 'When Created.'
It's a Scene behavior.
It has a fair spawning time.

Can anyone please help me with this problem?

« on: January 22, 2012, 09:41:26 am »

Hello!

I have decided to make a small game called, "It's Raining Crates!" It is about a black ball trapped in a red fence, while falling crates threaten to crush him. How long can you survive?

Resolved Questions / Follow mouse when clicked, but continue in the desired direction? [SOLVED]

« on: January 02, 2012, 05:21:23 pm »

Do you know how in Crazy Golf, the ball follows the mouse when clicked, but keeps going in the desired direction and speed/distance? I want to do something similar, only without the gravity. How can I do that?

Ask a Question / Touch Actor, Add Points?

« on: December 23, 2011, 04:43:02 pm »

I am trying to find out how to add a number of points to the score when your character touches another actor. This is an actor behavior, which affects the coin, the actor that the player is supposed to touch. Here's a screenshot.

I'm working on a smaller project, next to Boing Ball, and I want to have my character avoide getting crushed by heavy crates. I know how to make the crate spawn within the screen boundaries, but when I test it out in real-time, Crates spawn all over the place! I even set when to spawn a crate and it still spawns like crazy.

I would like to know how you can make an actor die and reload a scene when off screen, from scratch, because for some reason the StencylForge version does not work, and I do not want to use the nightly patches. Can this be achieved?

Game Ideas / Boing Ball: A Game I am Working On

« on: November 15, 2011, 06:58:21 pm »

I am somewhat new, so I would like to say hello.

I am MVsProjects, and I am an adolescent game creator. Right now, I am working on a game called Boing Ball. It is a side-scrolling, physics game. It involves you controlling a paddle, and you have to get a bouncing ball to a goal. The catch? There are many obstacles in your way, plus your paddle is rounded on the edges. You cannot let the ball out of the screen or you have to start the current level over.

Controls:
Arrow keys (left and right) to control the paddle
Mouse to select objects

Enemies/Obstacles: (As of 11/16/11)
Spike, in the form of a mine
Springs
Lock and Key

Things to Consider:
Time Limit- 60 seconds?
Scoring?
Control Change from Keyboard to Mouse?

I have finished testing the mechanism of the game, which runs smoothly. I do plan to release a demo, with 15 levels. The full version will have thirty levels, including five hidden bonus levels. I will inform you my progress weekly.

So far:
Working on Level Select and Levels
