Ask a Question / HELP How to create/kill actors in certain position

« on: November 22, 2014, 09:26:49 pm »

I'm having trouble with a game I was workin on in which I want a bar that fills as you tap a key very fast. Once this bar is full something happens. I know how to do this but I am having one problem. I obviously don't want the bar to be onscreen all the time so I need it to appear after an event (on key press) and decay after 3 seconds of not pressing the key. How would you do this? I would ideally want the bar to appear beside the player or on the far right of the scene what's the best teqnique to achieve this? A change in opacity or the death and creation of the bar?

Ask a Question / Why Cant I Poop Properly?! HALP (Actor Creation/Drawing Error)

« on: November 22, 2014, 03:04:08 am »

I apologize in advance for the crude theme haha

Ok so im working on a game for the indies vs pewdiepie game jam and Im having a massive problem with one of the main concepts.

You are a traversing the level (its a side scrolling platformer) and pickups (mellowberries) aer scattered around. The more you collect, the slower and fatter you become. To avoid this - you have to poop. I set it up in a way that you spam a button to charge a 'poop bar' that apears upon pressing this said button (P). Everything works perfectly except for the creation of the poop bar. When I press P the bar appears but there doesnt seem to be any logical idea as to where it will appear and I occasionally get errors

But, as all wise men say; an image is worth a thousand words, so attached below are screenshots of all associated events

I have a scoring system for my first scene/level and I wanted to know if it's possible to make it so I keep my score from the previous level? So if I finished level 1 with 100 points the points counter starts from 100?

Ask a Question / How to make an if otherwise statement that enable level completion

« on: February 15, 2014, 07:00:03 pm »

Hey guys, I have three main actors I'm working with here. The player, a coin that disappears on pick up and a block that when you stand on it you finish the level. How can I make it so that the block that sends you to the next level only sends you to the next level if you have collected all of the coins? Otherwise it spawns an actor that tells you you haven't collected all the coins

Please show a screen capture of the code if you can? Thankyou

 Hey Everyone, I have just started working with stencil and to get a grasp on it am now working on a side scroller game similar to JetPack Joyride.
