Resolved Questions / (SOLVED) Aim Actor

« on: December 20, 2012, 08:34:28 pm »

I am trying to get my missiles to point the direction of my mouse click. Here is the code I have already to make the actor GO in that direction, I just can't figure out how to get him to point that way as well.

Awesome! Thank you so much, I am going to try this out now and if I don't have any more questions, I'll close this thread.

Are those all custom attributes, or can I find those in the game?
Also, what If I want to make it take 5 hits before it dies?

Thanks djip. I appreciate the help. I am a total noob so do you think you could help me out by showing what you mean with the blocks. I am having trouble finding that stuff to make the code.

Resolved Questions / (SOLVED) Multiple collisions to kill an actor.

Right now, when my bullet actor hits an enemy actor one time, both of them are destroyed. I would like the enemy to get hit 3 times by my bullet actor before it gets destroyed. How can I do that?

When my bullet actor hits the enemy actor, they both just disappear but what I want is another actor to appear where they both were when they were destroyed. I have been looking at tuts trying to find out how to do it, but can't find any.

Can anyone help me out?

I wish there was a search option for these forums.

Thanks

Old Bugs (1.x/2.x) / Pencyl start up splash screen stays on my computer until i shut it down.

« on: March 27, 2012, 08:53:50 am »

I found a bug where when I click on an actors frame to edit it, then the "edit frame" box pops up, so I click on "edit image" to bring up pencyl.
If i close the "edit frame" popup before I close pencyl, then the Pencyl start up splash screen will stay on my desktop indefinitely, or until i shut down my pc.

It won't go away even if I have pencyl and stencyl closed.

There is a multiplayer kit here But it's a little limited at this point. I think it's something we want to do, but it's a big undertaking and probably won't happen particularly soon. I'll leave that to Jon though.

Super impressive!! I watched the demo and it was awesome....ahh the possibilities. What are you doing with it? Have other people came out with games using it?

I think that's awesome, because the big revolution right now, right this very second is multiplayer, turn based games that you can play on your phones and tablets.

Turn based games are the new big thing. I bet within the next few months, we are going to start seeing more and more of these easy to play games.

Draw something is a huge hit!

Will check out that link you sent..thanks a lot!!

I play Draw Something on my phone all the time! Does Stencyl have the capability to do turn based games like this?

There is also another game for Android called Defender II. You play at the same time as someone else and whoever lasts the longest wins. What's cool about this is in the corner of your screen, you can see the other person playing in real time!

What's up with these types of multiplayer and Stencyl?

News / Re: Stencyl games raise funding on Kickstarter

« on: March 20, 2012, 12:43:34 pm »

Kickstarter is a great idea and I have been involved in 3 different projects that have been funded by it! You just need to make it interesting enough and give people the right incentive to fund your project. Before you start your own kickstarter, I would recommend, not only going through the ones that have succeeded, but look at the ones that have failed and ask yourself "Why did they fail where the other ones worked?"

A big thing also, is use that social media! Get it all over facebook and twitter! Get someone to interview you and post about it on their site.
One project was only 50% funded and then Wired did an article about it and they got 50k in one day!
Do your research, make an awesome video, give people good incentive!

Stencyl Forge doesn't work for me 99% of the time either. Can't really use stencyl if I can't get into the forge!!
