Ask a Question / Re: Things that don't go with an uploaded asset or kit.

« on: March 08, 2015, 02:40:12 pm »

Didnt realised I was logged in as SDieters on my phone haha.

Anyway, this is what I meant.

But then I realized GA's (dynamic or not) are not bound to an actor, so there is no need to use that block.
Thanks for the info!

With "Dynamic game attributes" you mean these? >> http://gyazo.com/6b037f08802c7aca3d09454e7912802e
What exactly is the difference between those and regular GA's?

Ask a Question / Things that don't go with an uploaded asset or kit.

« on: March 07, 2015, 02:19:55 pm »

Hey all!
I just discovered that some things added to a kit or asset that is uploaded to the stencyl forge is not carried properly.
Two examples would be:

Tile collision models. For some reason it trows off some settings, and will not share custom collision models.
Game attributes. My uploaded CheckpointFlag relies on a single game attribute, however this one is not shared with the pack.
I have to take down that last one till I figure out an easy solution.

So my question is, what else is not being shared with a resource pack or asset when uploaded to the forge?

Cheers!

Ask a Question / Re: How do you create a slide up menu?

« on: March 07, 2015, 11:21:15 am »

Create a boolean called Moving.

When the mouse is pressed on self,
If not moving
~ Set moving to true
~ If IsUp
~~ Set Y-speed to -40 for self
~~ Do after 0.2 seconds
~~~ Set Y-speed to 0 for self
~~~ Set IsUp to to false
~~~ Set moving to false
~ Otherwise
~~ Set Y-speed to 40 for self
~~ Do after 0.2 seconds
~~~ Set Y-speed to 0 for self
~~~ Set IsUp to to true
~~~ Set moving to false

This is a slightly optimized version of what you have, and it will solve your issue. However I recommend you to use the slide function. With that function you set the exact position (pixel position) you want it to slide to.

Good Luck!

Resolved Questions / Re: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

"TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference" is a common rookie mistake.
It basically means the behavior that runs at the moment the game crashes is referring to an attribute that has no value (null object), or another common mistake is having a hidden list that isn't initialized yet. in that case make sure the list is set to a new list.

Ask a Question / Re: Is it possible to have sound/music effects?

« on: March 07, 2015, 07:17:02 am »

Talking about the mario example, they use a build in music player that only takes in the notes of a melody and changed instruments while entering a new world. It's like creating different sound in a sound studio program like fruity loops.
You could fake the same system by having 3 different tracks with different instruments playing at the same time, and fade ou/fade in channels depending on the situation.

Ask a Question / your functions for an inventory system

« on: March 07, 2015, 07:11:47 am »

Hey all!
I am creating a simple inventory kit for the stencyl forge, however I realized there can be dozens of possibilities when it comes to an inventory mechanic. So my question to guys is, what kind of inventory would you like to have?

Describe step by step how you want your inventory to work. Preferably with some video references.
Keep in mind I will not be creating an inventory like in AAA games such as Diablo 3.

Cheers!

Ask a Question / Re: Actor In List Problem to Create

« on: March 06, 2015, 01:00:27 pm »

That's the issue =)
You need to add <Type off <actor>> to your list in order to spawn such an item.
The difference between an actor and an actor type is that an actor already exists in the scene, while an actor type is just a "blueprint" of an actor. So what you are saying is "Spawn this actor (an actor attribute refers to an actor in a scene)" instead of "Spawn an actor of this kind".

Good luck!
