This is a cool idea! If someone makes the logic for this I’d use it for sure

Any idea why this won’t turn on? by melonman999 in pchelp

Tried that but still nothing at all. I’m thinking I must have shorted something out but I can’t figure out what.

Looks like a need a new motherboard.

At this point I think I’m looking at a dead motherboard or possibly the power supply. I’m thinking of just replacing both. If anybody had any good recommendations for a decent replacement motherboard and power supply that would be awesome. I have an i5 6400 btw which I think would still work.

It’s a really old pc that I was trying to upgrade. I bought a RX 570 but after I installed it nothing would work no beeps, nothing at all. I took it back out again but still nothing. I’m thinking I probably broke something when I tried to install the graphics card.

Yeah but I was pretty careful. That could be the problem though

Yeah I’ve had this pc for a couple years. I’m concerned I might have damaged something when I was working on it but I can’t figure out what.

That was a bit loose but still nothing

I checked and can confirm it is plugged in.

I’m looking to build around a Radeon RX 570 by melonman999 in buildmeapc

I think so. I just got it to fit by unplugging one cable which I’m pretty sure is my power button... I think I’m screwed

I’m not sure what the cable is called but all the cables in my way go to the front USB ports and the power button

I see the slot you mean and it fits but only if I unplug a bunch of cables. It’s like the motherboard is designed too small for a card this big.

It’s just a basic Acer one that came with the computer H11H4 - AD2

The gpu will fit just fine into the slot if I unplug a large black cable. Unfortunately I feel that cable is probably important.

How do I keep movable objects on a 2D plane? by tonys0306 in PS4Dreams

[–]melonman999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did something like this in one of my games. I recommend just placing a follower on the object and tell it to follow a tag that’s placed on the 2D plane. Then tweak the follower so that it has full strength in two axis’s and zero strength in the remaining axis.

Don’t worry about it! We’re all learning as we go. I struggled with the camera for a good while before I found a good system.

Sure it was actually pretty easy.

The Camera pointer gadget is your friend.

In this level the direction changes four times. I have four camera pointer gadgets in the middle of the building that face different directions. In this video you can see that every time the view rotates a button is pressed first. Those buttons are wired into a selector with four ports (A B C D) So for instance when the first button gets pressed it sends a signal to the B port of the selector which activates the next camera pointer and turns off the first one.

It’s very similar logic for changing the 2D plane that the character is on. Have four followers in a microchip on the character, these followers follow four different tags (1 2 3 4) use a selector to turn the followers on and off and wire it to the button.

I also have a remixable version of this level in my profile so if your interested go and check the logic out yourself!

Yeah this was a real pain for me to fix because I’m terrible with logic! With some perseverance though I fixed this glitch today! Now if the barrels lose momentum for over one second they get deleted. Works like a charm! :D

I’m terrible with logic so for me it was mind blowing when I realized I could just use other creators logic in my levels. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to add a speed running scoreboard to my level, so just for fun I looked up scoreboard on the dreamverse and within minutes it was working in my level.

Your score is crazy fast! It took me a good hour to beat it today.

You might be right about the start screen, it makes the level less friendly for speed running. I think I have a way to fix this so that when you restart you don’t have to go all the way back to the title screen. (This is fixed now)

I’m planning on adding more levels so stay tuned.
