Resolved Questions / follow the line game **SOLVED**

« on: July 18, 2014, 11:11:10 pm »

so i have a few questions.
1. how do i set an actor to move a set distance when a key is pressed? i cant get it to stop moving after the key is pressed( is there a way to move it across so many pixels?)
2. how do i spawn my already created lines, that show up when you press play and then starts moving downwards towards the bottom but i need it to spawn another one so it looks like one continuous line? is there a block for that?
3. the player u control is a cube and you have to move from side to side to follow the line if you dont the line carries u off the screen and you die but if you move over and you touch a vertical collision side you get carried down as well i need it to just slide down with no effect on the player/cube? The player can only move down if the player runs into a horizontal line not a vertical line! how do i put no friction on those vertical sides? 

Thanks for all your help if its confusing i can add pictures as well.

Ask a Question / Starting game animation

« on: July 01, 2014, 10:47:46 am »

I am currently at work on an infinite runner game and was wondering on how to create an animation like in jetpack joyride where you tap on the screen at the beginning of the game and he busts out the wall and there's a big explosion  and then you start playing. I think this would give my game some flare. Would i create a separate scene for this and then switch over quickly to the actually playing  scene. Thanks

Ask a Question / looping actors or wrap around screen making a parrallax background

« on: June 02, 2014, 04:43:38 pm »

ive had almost no problems up to now. Im trying to make a parrallax background for my game. ive used simple actors  for my artwork, ive got them to move at the speed i want but they just slide off screen.  do i make it longer and write a behavior that says when the beginning leaves then screen start over? or can i use a wrap effect? thanks

Ask a Question / making player stay level

« on: May 21, 2014, 10:50:10 pm »

im in the process of making an infinite runner game. I have made an actor for the platform because im using detailed art and turning it into tilesets makes it look like crap. But my player keeps falling down not staying on the line i want. ive tried using collision on the platform but its not keeping the player on the platform but falls  down near the edge of the screen(cant exit screen behavior). So basically i want the actor to stay in one place (i have a running animation) so when the player jumps it comes back down to where it started from. Hope this makes sense! Thanks

Ask a Question / Simple actors used for parallax background

« on: May 20, 2014, 11:37:14 pm »

so now that simple actors are available how would i go about making a parralax background? i have an actor but how do i move it at a constant speed and loop? behaviors or events? i used a behavior, when created set x-speed to 5 but when i test the game it doesnt move? What am i doing wrong? Thanks

so im trying to create a parralax background. i first made a sunset background as you can see in the picture. i then added some corn on some hills(i want this to move at a slow rate to create depth). as you see the corn is at the top i need it in the middle. i have searched everywhere on how to arrange parts of a background. Thanks
