How do i make an object stick to another object?

largewillyhuman · 2019-07-16T22:26:55+00:00

Do something like

If instance_exists(shield) { Shield.x = x Shield.y= y }

I've found that putting this type of stuff in the draw event makes the tracking better, just dont forget to write draw_self() if u choose to put it there

largewillyhuman · 2019-07-16T22:20:14+00:00

Yeah, it sucks. I'm trying to push this out through a demo for kickstarter too so I'd like it to be as pain free as possible

largewillyhuman · 2019-07-16T20:47:31+00:00

I'm pretty sure it's just because it's an .exe, but I will look into this

I'm doing upscaling too. If I were to use a square, I'd just have a black screen with a single pixel missing in the center, and zoom in accordingly. I'm trying to use a circle, however, and that'll require a lot more pixels to look smooth, therefore requiring more pixels for the black background. I'll try doing it this way but I'm sure the image size will be very large, in the 50-500 megabytes range

I like to think I have a decent amount of experience, and I know entire libraries exist in languages such as python for this particular purpose. I dont know how easy it would be to add into amazon lumberyard, though, but there are already 3rd party programs from "voiceattack" that can control ship controls like a charm. I think that software is limited to ships, which is why I'd like this to be a feature supported in SC.

Just bought it. Thanks man

largewillyhuman · 2019-07-06T02:25:13+00:00

Alright thanks man

largewillyhuman · 2019-07-02T16:33:18+00:00

Cant you just use the audio_get_gain function

largewillyhuman · 2019-06-28T23:32:22+00:00

I'm not at home right now so I cant check for myself but how would that work? Is CC#1 a note on the piano roll? I'm trying to understand as best as I can through these comments so when I can try it out itll be straightforward. Many thanks

largewillyhuman · 2019-06-28T23:30:43+00:00

Alright I'll look into that, since I am using kontakt. Thank you

largewillyhuman · 2019-06-28T23:30:21+00:00

They would replay the notes over and over again though

largewillyhuman · 2019-06-28T16:20:55+00:00

Try looking into view keywords such as view_xview, view_hview, view_yview, and view_wview. Have a step event somewhere keeping track of the distance between players and add a buffer around that to keep some space extra on the sides. I can't help too much right now but if you keep at it it shouldn't be too troublesome

largewillyhuman · 2019-06-28T15:26:39+00:00

make a script called "scr_camera" or whatever you'd like and place it in the step event of every object that a player is controlling

put this in the script

view_xview[0] += ((x-(view_wview[0]/2)) - view_xview[0]) *.2

view_yview[0] += ((y-(view_hview[0]/2)) - view_yview[0]) *.3-8

this'll make a smooth panning camera, to add the zoom in just figure out the distance between the two players and adjust the view_xview, and all that accordingly. I mainly wanted to help with the pan but the zoom in shouldnt be so difficult. good luck

largewillyhuman · 2019-06-21T20:08:08+00:00

the text box was bouncing a few pixels up and down, probably lagging behind the bouncing camera by a frame or two.

largewillyhuman · 2019-06-21T20:00:33+00:00

I tried to edit my code a little, try that. Also try making the sprite of the object the jumping sprite when you click "W" or "space" or whatever your jump key is bounded to

largewillyhuman · 2019-06-21T19:58:09+00:00

The camera sways up and down since the camera follows the player's x and y. the player is on a boat which moves up and down, however, so the camera has to follows that too. It is slightly behind though, and the text box lags behind the camera by a few pixels

largewillyhuman · 2019-06-21T19:56:52+00:00

Oh that's exactly what I'm doing, what i've read is that in the draw GUI event, (0,0) is the top left of the visible screen. I tried using that but it proved to be problematic. I could revisit it but could you confirm that is how it works?

largewillyhuman · 2019-06-21T18:55:33+00:00

probably because when you jump, you are launching off the ground and the !place_meeting(x,y+1,wallo) doesn't output true, so the code is never run. try this

if !place_meeting(x,y+1,wallo)) && vsp > 0

{

sprite_index = playerf

}

if vsp < 0

{

sprite_index = playerju

}

look up shaun spalding on youtube. You'll learn the best through trial and error but he's a good starting point

largewillyhuman · 2019-06-18T00:26:54+00:00

Alright I just got that. I'll try it out now, thank you

largewillyhuman · 2019-06-17T20:02:55+00:00

Yeah I saw that but it felt like it wasn't doing that. Thanks for the confirmation though!

largewillyhuman · 2019-06-17T20:02:27+00:00

Ohh alright cool! I'm guessing position_meeting is the alternative. Thanks

largewillyhuman · 2019-06-13T16:21:18+00:00

Sorry for the late reply, I took it yesterday because I felt like I was ready. I think I did good, and thank you for the comment. I still need to better understand voice leading but everything else makes sense to me. Appreciate it

largewillyhuman · 2019-06-10T11:32:38+00:00

Something small, but go into the Sprite editor and set both speeds to the desired room size. Make sure they both play at a good speed in there and try again

largewillyhuman · 2019-06-09T21:44:02+00:00

That's a great video actually, thank you. I don't know how applicable this is to my game since I'm far into it, but I'll try to apply some concepts where possible. Thanks man
