Ask a Question / 1-way Platform over rides other animations

« on: March 10, 2017, 11:52:26 am »

I recently added 1-way platform to my game, so that i could get multi-level hills like in mario.

When i got to the behavior it asks that i define a character (So i defined my hero).

Than it asks for animation for solid platform
and another for going through the platform

So i chose "Right Running" since your normally going to be going right while doing these things.

Than well testing i noticed that "Right Running" from 1-way Platiform over ride my other animations.
Such as going left is suppose to be "Left Running" but becomes the "Right Running" of 1-way Platform, so your runing backwards more or less when going left.
I tried other animations and nothing worked they all over rode it.
even tried the waiting one, but than the hero looked like he was waiting all the time even while running and jumping.

Thank you for your comments and help in advance

Hey I'm Chris, live in NH USA and am 29, married to my wonderful wife for 6 1/2 years. I didn't grow up with the gaming consoles much, adopt father HATED gaming. My bro and I would often have to go to other people's houses and be "baby sat" even as teens and we took this time to game with friends.
My first real game was the original Diablo that my bro got as a burned disc from his tutor and smuggled home.
Than we got a Gameboy, that Travis was given aby a school mate and smuggled that home.
Than a friend has a Sega and a few games, and they gave it to us, at that point my adopt father couldn't stop us lol. So we had sega for years.
My fav game was Desert Storm on Sega. I was more of a PC guy though. My favs on there were Diablo, StarCraft, and online Runescape (yup my first MMO lol).
Than I met my wife (re-met (Went to school together for abit)), and she got me into Oblivion, she had to unlock a really hard chest, and asked me to do it and I got it first try and never played the game before. Than she got me into WoW and we played off and on until about 6 month - 1 year ago. Again she should be the fishing thing and first try before i'd even played the game, fished out some hard to get fish.
Than we got the x-box, and we had fun with Viva Pianta, Mirrors Edge, Farming Sim and other neat games. My fav series was Assassins Creed. Oh and had RDR for atime since it was like the best cowboy game. Probably still is.
Than got the x-box One, and we got a collection of 30 Retro games (on one disc, for 30 bucks), than I got into Battlefield, BF4 and BFHL were my fav
We got rid of the x-box 1 when we "Gave up" gaming but kept the 360 and than we slowing started getting back into it, it mostly pc and tablets now lol.
My bud and I got some way narly ideas for gaming but I got to learn C++ if someone could teach me, cause we are going to need a crazy engine with 3D capability.

IF anyone wants to help us with our "Dream Game" it'd be appreciated.

I am very new to game making hence the Stencyl, did all crash course and read first like 5 help chapters 2 days ago and been practicing since

I believe your having a similar problem as me.
The easy way to fix this is, go to the Scene Creation (now your scene is 3 times the size as normal I would break that into 3 scenes).

Now take Scene 1 (first part of your scene after you break it apart), than go into the creation, you will see a "Create region" on the left hand bar, do this on the right side of the  scene in whatever shape you want.
Than go to the Scene Event and code.
You need to go to "When specific character enters/exits region" than the when updating will show up.
Than you add the when the region is entered switch to Scene x (in your case Scene 2 (The 2nd part of your split scene).
Than add the part that recreates your hero at the beginning of the scene.

Repeat for Scene 2 so you can transfer to scene 3


I believe this is the easiest way to do the side scroller that you want. I did it and it works pretty well.
If I am not understanding what your saying please let me know

Hope this helps

Ask a Question / Jump issues [Solved]

« on: March 07, 2017, 09:17:42 am »

I made an actor, that by his physics is suppose to be buound by gravity.
I than added the pre-made "Jump/run" behavior
But than he continued to jump out the top of the screen, so I made a change and made it so he cant leave the scree (except through the regions of course).
But now he floats at the top of the screen (you can even move left and right across the top)
So I lowered the run speed and force, and jump force, to no avail
Any ideas?

The issue was quite easy, the Scene Gravity had somehow been turned off, so I was out jumping gravity, even though I was suppose to be affected by it.

Thanks in advance

I'm new to this and I got the Crash Course and the Invaders and did them. But than I want to make another game and wanted to import the tiles from like the first one, but when I do the screen is empty. The area where the tiles to pick from.
I don't know if I am missing steps or what, but I wanted the grass tiles and stuff from the original crash course that I got.

IS there away to switch them over or another place I can download just them?

Thanks in advance
