Hi and thanks for the reply!

so i got rid of the other (if) the first if works perfectly, when the gage indicator is in region 4 it will go to the win screen.

its the region 2 and 3 which is a pain. them two regions are for the lose screen. tried adding that if to a separate event (update) still no joy!

been stuck on it a while

i had a look at custom events but could not get it to work

anyway i kind of have it working now buttttt theres a new issue.  now the actor that i was trying to animate before, it animates but regardless of where ever my gauge indicator stops on the gauge. i have 3 sections on the gauge. two red sections ( region 2 and 3 ) these sections should not animate the actor (wood) . and i have a green section ( region 4 ) , which does animate when gauge indicator hits it.

im gonna upload the pics of the codes im using. maybe someone can tell me where im going wrong here?

thanks

hi guys

ok so im in the middle of making my next game and i have run in to an issue. maybe you all may be able to help.

its a power gage based game. i have a gage actor and a gage indicator actor. i have set up collision sensors on the gage . what im trying to do is when the gage indicator stops at a certain point, i need it to activate a animation for a certain object . i cant seem to do it. iv got the gage working fine. the gage indicator stops when i want it do but i just cant figure out how to then get my other actor object to animate.

hope some one can help in anyway

thanks

Hey!

Thanks for trying it out again, well I went looking on youtube for videos about it and came across one that really helped! Turned out that it was a totally simple fix! I do wish I knew all these thins at first when I released it but I guess you have to learn from your own mistakes right!

Either way I'm pretty happy with it lol

First off, since you have made some changes, how big is your actuall .swf file? Don't know if it's just here, but it took a looong time to load your game, so for opitimizing purposes i would recommend to use "Debug->Game->Cleanup Unused Files" from within stencyl, and also run pngoo on all of your images(To reduce file size), if you haven't done that yet.

The game itself is just another "flappy bird", but i assumed that this was mostly for learning purposes.
For me, the "story" doesn't matter in a game like this (Since there is basically no end, and no "winning"). And i didn't get the whole floating head thing (Maybe because i skipped the last parts of the story/intro).

For the gameplay part, it needs a lot of optimizing. At least at my computer (High-end), it got low framerate, all the time. Also the doublejump feature was just really anoying, as it felt as it was random when it double jumped or single jumped. And the double jump was like 3 times higher than the singel jump. I think that you're better off with just using single jump.

It would also be better (as someone else suggested) to allow restarts from the space button. Just use the same boolean as you use for the "Game over" to popup, and add a "If boolean =true" "If space was pressed" "Reload scene".

But that's just my 2 cents.

Btw, liked some of the graphics you have used, and it's a pretty decent game to be your first! Keep up the good work

Hey JensTrolldom

Thanks for playing the game. trying to make all the changes i can so its more playable. managed to set space bar for restart but before i put it up i wanted to sort out the jump but just cant seem to get my head around it,  check out the pic i posted of the code im using right now inorder to make jimmy jump. tried all sorts of things but didnt work at all. even tried introducing behaviours but no luck 

hopefully you might me able to shed some light on this issue.

thanks again for playing and the advice!

much appreciated
