that just makes that player able to go behind the hud when he gets to the edge of the scene

Extension Ideas / can someone make a small motion extension?
« on: August 05, 2015, 12:22:20 pm »
can someone make a small extension that includes the following
a getter versoin of set volocity
a getter versoin of the push block
a setter and getter of air friction
if you can do this I definitely use it
thanks

Ask a Question / Re: max speed using push motion?
« on: August 04, 2015, 07:50:41 pm »Here's how I did it:
ok so can you tell me what you set speed to?
I need to test speed being my directional motion
Edit wait won't this way set my motion when i press the forward key?
i don't want to do that I want to simply limit the push towards degrees with force
Edit again:
can you help me with some math
I want set a speed attribute to decrease depending on motion maybe and the attributes max speed and acceleration speed
so when max speed is reached speed will be 0
this way I can use the push motion block with speed

Ask a Question / how would I create two scenes?
« on: August 04, 2015, 02:24:30 pm »
ok forget the post I posted earlier
how would I simulate two scenes?
one for my hud and one to put into the hud's screen port?
kinda like two windows but the inner one not able to be moved.
if it help I when on the irc with no luck
here is the conversation
[16:25] == Shadowblitz16 [webchat@c-24-143-121-25.customer.broadstripe.net] has joined #stencyl
[16:26] <Shadowblitz16> back so how would i do that
[16:26] <Shadowblitz16> ?
[16:27] <Shadowblitz16> I can't use the normal camera behavior be cause I have a hud that I have a small area for the game screen
[16:28] <Shadowblitz16> I don't want to overwrite half the game screen with the hud
[16:43] <Dmangames> Shadowblitz16: I don’t really get the problem. Can’t you just make your screen bigger then so that it won’t matter if your HUD covers some of it?
[16:44] <Shadowblitz16> no as I want to use a camera too just a sec I can upload a pic
[16:49] <Dmangames> Okay
[16:51] <Shadowblitz16> http://imgur.com/VMm9kdA
[16:52] <Shadowblitz16> ok so as you can see there would be a x y width and height
[16:53] <Shadowblitz16> however the hbor and vbor would be how far the camera will let the player move intill it tracks the player

[17:10] <Dmangames> Are you drawing your HUD on the screen so that they never move?
[17:12] <Shadowblitz16> well no I do plan on not moving the player however I would like it to actully follow the player for future reasons
[17:13] <Dmangames> So you want the player to be able to move away from the center up to a certain point, where the camera will then catch up?
[17:13] <Shadowblitz16> yes depending on the scroll speed
[17:14] <Shadowblitz16> however I also want the x,y,width, and height
[17:14] <Dmangames> I think you should still be able to use camera follow behavior. Just modify it to allow some slack.
[17:14] <Dmangames> I think you
[17:15] <Dmangames> you’re thinking of camera in a different way
[17:15] <Shadowblitz16> I don't know how to do the xy w h thing though
[17:15] <Dmangames> The camera is the entire screen
[17:15] <Dmangames> Including the HUD
[17:15] <Shadowblitz16> and I can't have two?
[17:15] <Dmangames> You don’t really need two
[17:15] <Dmangames> Imagine you don’t have the HUD
[17:15] <Dmangames> You just follow the player around
[17:16] <Shadowblitz16> yes but then the player will be able to fly behind the hud when he's near the edge
[17:16] <Dmangames> Then if you want the HUD, you just draw it onto the screen’s with absolute positions
[17:16] <Dmangames> Ahh
[17:16] <Dmangames> That won’t happen if you follow correctly
[17:16] <Shadowblitz16> ?
[17:16] <Dmangames> Your camera will never allow him to leave the center is the default for camera follow
[17:17] <Dmangames> so he’ll always be in the center is the default for camera follow actor
[17:17] <Dmangames> You can tweak it in the settings so that he’s always at a differenct point, in your case, more to the right
[17:18] <Shadowblitz16> yes but if the camera is the entire screen that means the hud too right?
[17:18] <Shadowblitz16> so when the hud hits the room edge the player will keep moving going behind the hud
[17:19] <Shadowblitz16> am i right?
[17:19] <Dmangames> That’s true. If you can’t move the camera anymore, then the player will go behind the HUD
[17:19] <Dmangames> In that case, you could draw some invisible barriers for the player
[17:20] <Shadowblitz16> how would I do that?
[17:20] <Shadowblitz16> regions?
[17:20] <Dmangames> you could for example create an rectangular actore with collisions
[17:20] <Dmangames> Regions don’t really have collision
[17:21] <Shadowblitz16> but then room edge behaveors won't work
[17:21] <Shadowblitz16> like edge bounce and edge wraping
[17:21] <Dmangames> Oh I see
[17:22] <Dmangames> Alright then just give these invisible actors events that trigger on collision
[17:22] <Dmangames> that switch the scene
[17:23] <Shadowblitz16> won't more actor equal more memery usage though?
[17:23] <Shadowblitz16> its a little extensive for what i'm trying to do
[17:24] <Dmangames> Yeah, that’s true. I’m sorry I couldn’t come up with a more direct solution
[17:24] <Dmangames> I’m pretty new to stencyl as well
[17:24] <Shadowblitz16> its ok
[17:24] <Shadowblitz16> ya I came from gm studio
[17:24] <Dmangames> Ah I see
[17:24] <Dmangames> Did you make any games there?
[17:24] <Shadowblitz16> well kinda
[17:25] <Shadowblitz16> I prototyped many of my ideas
[17:25] <Shadowblitz16> I made one that was fairly playable
[17:25] <Dmangames> An RPG I’m assuming?
[17:25] <Shadowblitz16> nope space shooter
[17:25] <Dmangames> Oh neat!
[17:25] <Shadowblitz16> asteroids with powerups
[17:26] <Dmangames> Cool
[17:26] <Shadowblitz16> it used a power and special system
[17:26] <Shadowblitz16> basicly..
[17:27] <Shadowblitz16> you can always shoot infinite bullets but powers like machine, beam, mines, homingmissile, pushwave used ammo
[17:27] <Shadowblitz16> and..
[17:28] <Shadowblitz16> specials like shield, teleport, and frenzy could only work intill special peramiters where met
[17:29] <Shadowblitz16> like shield having hp and teleport only being able to be used 3 times
[17:30] <Shadowblitz16> and frenzy basicly was a spinning baracade of energy that would damage thing on touch 3 times
[17:30] <Shadowblitz16> each
[17:31] <Shadowblitz16> I want to make a better version of the game
[17:31] <Shadowblitz16> but parenting sucks in gamemaker
[17:31] <Shadowblitz16> so I'm trying to learn this
[17:31] <Shadowblitz16> is there things like inheriting in stencyl?
[17:34] <Shadowblitz16> can you help me find out what is wrong with my code here http://imgur.com/zXsPzay
[17:34] <Shadowblitz16> it lets me rotate right but left only works intill I hit 0

is direction of motion a built in thing?
coz I don't have a attribute called that
and then that would just set the velocity to my direction which I don't want to to

Edited:
ok
i'm making a asteroids like game
however I don't like the feel of the behavior that is built into stencyl
1.
I would like to be able to control my ships acceleration rotation and max rotaion with rotation speed via a value being not so physic like
2.
I would like to be able to control my ships acceleration and max speed(acceleration being a value plus a modifier attribute called spd)
3.
I would like to be able to control my ships coaster rate with it not being so physics like
4. I would like to control the friction of the movement
5.
I would like to be able to set the left dodge and right dodge input tap delay 0 being can do it without tapping and -1 being they can't do it at all
6.I would like to return the inputs for left right up down rightdodge leftdodge
7.
I would also like to control the acceleration(not a constant speed just a inpulse) of the dodges being not so physics like
8.
I would like to be able to use animations like idle, forward, backward, right, left, right
dodge, left dodge
8. finally I would like a Boolean option for if it moves the object or the rooms virtual position
for example the rooms virtual position is other objects plus their current speed, and the parallax
this is for infinite looping
edit also yes I want this to be a behavior i can reuse

Extension Ideas / easy motion extension
« on: August 02, 2015, 09:06:54 pm »
EDITED:
can someone make a extension called easy motion
it would have both getters and setters for:
1. lengthdir_x(len,dir) = cos(degtorad(dir))*len
2. lengthdir_y(len,dir) = -sin(degtorad(dir))*len
3. speed would work like explained here http://gmc.yoyogames.com/index.php?showtopic=571059
4. motion add would work like explained here http://gmc.yoyogames.com/index.php?showtopic=350143
5. airfriction would work like explained here http://gmc.yoyogames.com/index.php?showtopic=512131
yes this is all based on gamemaker studio plz don't judge I think it would add nice support in stencyl
