Ask a Question / Timed Events (Do After) Problem

« on: March 29, 2016, 08:30:06 am »

I've been trying to get to grips with timed events, and despite my reading and experimenting I can't quite get my head around something.  I have a script that stuns enemies, and it does work in part, but the effects aren't removed after a set time. I've been trying to remove the effects using the 'Do After' block, and I've tried several different ways. Please see a screenshot attached with two methods I've been trying.

When enemies are hit, they change colour, drop, and buzz around on the floor. After 10 seconds they should revert back to their original colour, get up and start flying around again. I've been trying to get this working for two days, and would appreciate a little help. Thanks.

Well, thank for your help any way, tigerteeth. It is appreciated. I still learnt a couple of useful things, so it wasn't in vain.

TheIndieStation, I look forward to seeing that tutorial! Cheers.

Let us know if that solves your problem!

Thanks a lot for your help, but we're not quite there yet I'm afraid! Moving still works whether gravity is reversed or not, but I still can't jump from the ceiling.  I'm guessing I've gone wrong somewhere, but I can't spot where. I've attached a screen shot of the jumping code.

I think I've managed it! I've attached a screenshot. Thanks.

1. Look at how your jumping behaviour works
2. Create a boolean that shows if gravity is upside down or not
3. Adapt your jumping behaviour in the case that gravity isn't upside down.

It's hard to be more specific without knowing what your jumping behaviour is.

Thanks. I'm really new to Stencyl so I have just used the Jump behaviour which shipped with it. I don't yet fully understand how it functions, so haven't dared to really mess around with it much. I'm at a bit of a loss. I've included a screenshot. Cheers.

Ask a Question / Reversed Gravity & Jumping

I've created a script to flip the gravity on a key press but I've run into a problem with jumping. Although the actor can move around on the ceiling,  it can't jump off it like it can on the floor.

Anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

Ask a Question / Follow Target Behaviour

« on: March 21, 2016, 10:03:08 pm »

Hi,

Apologies if this has already been solved, but I couldn't find an answer anywhere. I have an issue with the 'Follow Target' behaviour where any  actor it's attached to is bound to the game screen and not the scene area.  The enemy which is tracking the player gets dragged along and pulled through objects if the player moves too far away.

I've spent quite a bit of time  playing with the behaviour to see if I can get it to refer to the scene rather than the screen, but I'm at a complete loss, and I haven't been able to find a suitable replacement behaviour. Any help gratefully appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,

I've been trying to teach myself to use Stencyl by using the 'Invaders' tutorial. My problems occurs at step 37 when I try to test the game. I'm pretty sure that I've followed all the previous steps exactly and I've gone through them, but I'm still at a loss.
