Hello? Are you able to post the games into the forum? Will anyone answer my question?

I bet you're allowed to post a link for the game. :wink:

ok, I have a few questions of my own now... If they are too hard to explain or if the answers are super long, don't bother since they aren't critical to the game

1. I have enemies running around a map in curvy paths and such, and I want to make it so that the sprite automatically changes acoring to it's direction (I have the 8 major directional sprites), but I have no idea how.

2. (I only need this one answered if I can get the first one answered) I have you playing someone with enemies running around the map and you have to shoot at them. I want to make it so that when you get near they run away, but I don't know how to make them run away from an object, I only know how to make them run to an object.

Again, don't bother answering if you don't want to

1. Okay, the directions are: 90 is upwards, 180 is left, 270 is down, 360 is right. I'm guessing your other directions are up-left, up-right, down-left, down-right. Those directions are: 135, 45, 225, 315, respectively. So, in the Step Event, put the action "if variable has a value", with the variable "direction" and value "90". When this happens, it means if the direction of movement is upwards. When that happens, use the action "change sprite to whatever_your_upwards_sprite_is." Do the same for the rest of the directions.

Or, if you have the registered version, use the action in the Step Event "Transform the sprite", and set the angle to "direction".

2. I hate to say this, but I really don't know.

Thanks a lot! I'll try that

Budgielover101 · « **Reply #79 on:** July 08, 2006, 09:57:24 PM »

This sounds cool. I did read about it on the website but haven't downloaded it.
yet

@penguinman: I have actually got that Bee dodger you made! It's really good but could you please post a link to it? My friend wants to know where to get it but I don't remember where I got it :laughing: I think it was from KK's zoomania but I don't remember how to get there either!
thanks

EDIT: And are the animal game and pacman finished?

The links for you games say the IDs are invalid.

Budgielover101 · « **Reply #81 on:** July 08, 2006, 10:38:50 PM »

That what I got

hence why I need a link :laughing:

I was trying to upload my game onto fileupyours, but it said it couldn't upload the file. :

: Can it not upload files that are really big? Because the game I was trying to upload wasn't that big.

penguinman · « **Reply #85 on:** July 09, 2006, 11:05:07 AM »

Kiwibuddy: Make sure you zip the file first, I think that should help.

Budgielover101: Thanks! You can download it at ZooMania by clicking on "Goodies" which is near the top of the page.

I kinda stopped the pacman one...

But I'm still working on the Animal Games one (slowly...). Now I am doing BETA testing of it so if anyone is interested... just PM me

kiwibuddy · « **Reply #86 on:** July 10, 2006, 10:29:48 AM »

I have another problem. :pinch: But, in my Moth Man game, sometimes, you go so fast, that you fly straight through walls! Is there anyway to stop that?

Dandelion Mane · « **Reply #87 on:** July 11, 2006, 11:01:50 AM »

Maybe if you make the walls solid...
It worked for me.
Edit, how do I get a health bar to show up and my object to show up?

kiwibuddy · « **Reply #88 on:** July 11, 2006, 11:53:21 AM »

In the room, like on the objects tab and choose the object you wish to put in the room. Then, click wherever you want that object to be.

Dandelion Mane: I tried it, but it still flies through walls, only when it's going really fast though.

Dandelion Mane · « **Reply #89 on:** July 11, 2006, 12:19:50 PM »

I did not mean like that. I meant my object shows up when there is no health bar, but when there is, the object does not show up. How do I make both show up at the same time.

penguinman · « **Reply #90 on:** July 11, 2006, 12:21:07 PM »

Make the "Draw" action in a spriteless object in the room.

Dandelion Mane · « **Reply #91 on:** July 11, 2006, 05:17:58 PM »

Thank you.

Okay, I need some help with gravity. I have a character that can jump up and fall down. But I can't get it to jump left and right and so on. Plus, when the character lands on the ground, he sometimes lands a few milimeters above the ground.

Dandelion Mane · « **Reply #93 on:** July 11, 2006, 08:10:43 PM »

He lands above ground when he is going too fast
I'm making a game where you have to dodge stampeding animals.

Dandelion Mane · « **Reply #94 on:** July 12, 2006, 11:49:13 AM »

I am making a game where you can raise animals.
Which animal would you like to raise most?

kiwibuddy · « **Reply #95 on:** July 12, 2006, 11:58:44 AM »

Dandelion Mane: I don't even have to tell you. (Hint: Read my name.) :laughing:
I'm thinking about making a game, when you're a boy scout and you wander around camp doing little quest things and collecting merit badges. But it'll probably need A.I. Think I should try it?

Also, I'm making "Megaman not all that Extreme". Which is why I need to figure out gravity so bad. :

Dandelion Mane · « **Reply #96 on:** July 12, 2006, 12:15:53 PM »

I think you should do the kamp thing..
I also need to figure out gravity.
I'll consider the kiwi.
For my game I am making a giganotosaurus.
Here it is with its baby. What do you think?

Dandelion Mane · « **Reply #97 on:** July 12, 2006, 09:23:55 PM »

I am making the kiwi.

Budgielover101 · « **Reply #98 on:** July 12, 2006, 11:27:24 PM »

look like off ZT1 :original:

Dandelion Mane · « **Reply #99 on:** July 13, 2006, 11:32:02 AM »

I am using some of its graphics.
