Ask a Question / Permanent within the Scene

« on: May 16, 2022, 07:05:27 pm »

So, I’m looking to place Treasure within an area the Player will be able to revisit many times, but said Treasure should only be able to be acquired once.  For example, some Gems lightly hidden in the environment that the Player can grab at any time, but do not respawn after being picked up. 

Is there any way to do this using only scene code or does it require Game Attributes?

« on: April 19, 2022, 10:31:42 am »

I got a email about my invoice for my Stencyl subscription, but I've tried several times now over the coarse of a week and I can't get said invoice  to load.  It just seems to take me to a blank page.

Ask a Question / Shaders on Layers?

« on: January 15, 2022, 06:07:25 pm »

I'm trying to add a negative saturation effect to the game when the menu is open, but there are some images that only work in normal saturation.  Is there a way to apply Shaders to Layers rather then the whole game or some other fix I haven't thought of?

« on: October 25, 2021, 02:45:08 pm »

Just trying to make a box the player can push along the x axis but can't budge along the y.  The first part is easy, but squirrely things happen when the player jumps onto said box.  Is there an easy way to do this?

Ask a Question / Analog Stick Position

« on: May 30, 2021, 09:11:55 am »

I have set up a game using a controller, but I noticed the input for the d pad is not dislimier from an analog stick, but is there a way to say have more functionality in the stick?  Like for example can I have it so the player presses the stick slightly to the right to walk right or push it all the way to the right to run right?

Ask a Question / Landing Bug?

« on: May 15, 2021, 08:05:31 pm »

I have a behavior that works pretty good for registering when the player has landed from a jump/fall onto tile, but I found an odd bug I can't seem to work around.  If there is a wall (tile) to the right or left of the player when they land the landing behavior doesn't trigger.  Is there a way to stop walls from interfering with my landing behavior?

Chit-Chat / I don't know where else to post this...

« on: February 23, 2021, 11:08:56 pm »

 but, I haven't had any odd issues with Stencyl in rather a long  time.  Don't get me wrong I love it, but I'm use to coming across a crippling issue every few months.  Not so much lately.  It seems way, way more stable in the current version. 

So thanks for all the hard work, I really appreciate it.

Ask a Question / Twin Stick Shooter?

« on: August 12, 2020, 07:51:21 pm »

 I'm trying to allow the player to aim with one of the analog sticks on a controller, but while I've got all the other functions working with a controller, I'm kind of stumped.  Best I can come up with is eight direction firing.  Is there a way to have the game detect the direction of the stick and fire in that direction?  Or is there another way of doing it I'm not thinking of?

« on: June 25, 2020, 11:04:31 am »

  I have a textbox I need to stay centered as the camera moves, but using the Anchor Block means the text always draws behind the textbox.  Is there a way to anchor the text box where I need it while keeping it on the layer I place it on?
