Do you mean face right or left when shooting, or to shoot two bullets at once in both directions?

Stencyl defaults to degrees. Make sure you use the "__ as radians" block.

It's because that code is in the "always" block, it executes every frame.

I tried speed and position, and they both get the jitters. Mine was inconsistent too. It drove me crazy for awhile too.
If you can find a solution that doesn't involve making either the player or the platform a sensor, let me know. If you want to try making the platform a sensor, I'll can help.

Ask a Question / Best way to collaborate with other people?
« on: January 11, 2014, 02:24:52 pm »
Hi. I am working on a game with other people. I am doing all the programming, but I want my team members to be able to have access to a kit so they can test their art and sound directly.
What is most simple way to do this besides using Stencyforge?

Ask a Question / Question about custom Terrains.
« on: January 10, 2014, 11:27:59 am »
I'm trying to have ice terrain. I know I can use actors, but from what I understand, using multiple actors is more expensive than tiles.
So I was wondering about Terrain. I noticed I can assign different terrain to different groups besides Tile. I have some questions about efficiency.
Is terrain more expensive than using tiles? Does setting terrain to a group besides Tile cost more? Does the size of terrain affect performance?

I had a similar problem.
Are you changing the position of the rider based on the position of the platform? Are they both non-sensor actors?
If so, I think the jittering is caused by the collision system. Every time the player's position changes, it slightly overlaps the platform. This causes a tiny collision reaction.
I'm not sure how practical it would be for your game, but my solution was making a specific animation for riding. This animation was set to a sensor, which stopped the collisions thus stopping the jittering.

Ask a Question / Re: How to stick an actor to another moving actor smoothly?
« on: March 11, 2012, 09:41:09 pm »One idea would be to try using:I have done this and offset the distance by the size of the player so it looks like player is just touching the platform. The platform will still shake.
Always
Set x of self to x of platform
Set y of self to y of platform
I tested offsetting the distance so the two wouldn't collide. It worked, but even when the two actors weren't colliding there was still shaking.
Edit: Messed around a bit. Using position instead of speed solves the problem of sliding, but the actors will still shake very slightly when they are connected.

Ask a Question / Re: Character sticking to walls when in the air?

When the actor collides with a wall, you will have stop the horizontal force. Something like,
If [if direction button] is down and not colliding on the [whatever side]
set X speed to [whatever]

Ask a Question / How to stick an actor to another moving actor smoothly?

Emphasis on smoothly. I'm working on a game where my player can cling to any side of a platform. I am having trouble sticking to moving platforms perfectly.
When the player collides with the platform, I set the player's X and Y velocity to the same as the platform's velocity. This works okay, but the player will slide a tiny bit and sometimes it looks like he is shaking rapidly.
If you have the "Jump and Run - Extended" kit, with the platform movement and ride platform behaviors, you see what I mean by setting the platform to move horizontally.
