Hehe yea I'm Alive

Hello guys sorry for not signing in anymore I was busy with other stuff and forgot about this

anyway the first thing i'l ltell you is :
those stage things you'Re making there .....
stop them
Stages dont work like this in gamemaker
you built the stuff piece by piece from objects in Gamemakers Level builder

anyway I forgot a lot about gamemaker in anyway I havnt worked with it for ages
but there are 2 chars in this gmk file : Ashura and knux the codes of both have self explanating entrys which tell you what piece of code does what most of that stuff is stil lfrom Gamerdee's engine which I've used as base

you can get the engine below it includes the needed objects and such the menu is easy to understand too
so if one of yo uguys here is interested in building the stuff further :
http://www.sendspace.com/file/02lhzm

this is the engine

if you got further questions just pm me

also check all the bojects in there to see what they work like this engine basically explains itself as I've allready said earlier

So wait...are you saying that the backgrounds we found can't be used?

oh no not like this

you cut single parts of the tile sets out and put them as sprite at a level object the opaque parts of the sprite wil lbe solid the transparent parts non solid

the transparent color is defined by the pixel in the bottom left corner of the sprite

Ashura...I have no clue what you mean. I write, I don't program.

currently i'm not talking about programming
i'm talking about preparing the stage sprites xD

Well your link doesn't let me do anything. I downloaded it and nothing happens.

huh ?

it gives you a Gamemaker engine
you need gamemaker 7 pro to open it xD

and here's something about gamemaker programming :

Gamemaker programming is allmost like writing a text

here's a short cutout

//Wall jumping (work when knuckles is gliding and is stopped by a wall)
if action=5 && hsp=0 && collision_line(x,y,x+xdir*26,y,obj_walls,1,1)
{action=14 sound_play(snd_hitwall)}

if action=14
{
vsp=1


if KEY_LEFT or KEY_RIGHT //Let go
{
if abs(hsp)>0
{action=0}
}

if KEY_A //Jump off wall
{vsp=-6 action=5
sound_play(snd_homingattack)
if xdir=-1{xdir=1 hsp=8}
else
if xdir=1{xdir=-1 hsp=-8}
}
}

this is the wall jumping code

it often says : if blablabla {...}

IF you put the word if in a game maker code
you'll put something like talking=1 behind it

translated that means :
if the character is talking......

then comes the {} part
everything inside the {}set'S up what wil lhappen if the character is talking

"Action" is jsut the Variable for all actions in the game so (for example) jumping is action=1
wall jumping is action=14 and so on

Well no wonder. I don't have pro. That means that we can't do anything without pro-version?

yes thats exactly what it means

But don't we have to pay for pro?

either that or you crack it pick whatever you prefer
or dont get it at all

or look up youtube sometimes people post their serials there thats how I got Macromedia Flash 8

(Groan) Can't you just send me the pro version?

EchidnaPower wrote:(Groan) Can't you just send me the pro version?

well that works too

couldnt you shorten a whole process down and put solid transparent blocks on where the level stage is?
oh and i could do with it too

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllll
if you want to place pixel blocks over the whole , probs 5 mniute long, stage ...
as you can guess from that your idea would take A WHOLE DAMN LOT LONGER

sry im new to the whole gamemaker scene so...im not very good at it ,thats just how i learned 'cause i have done only one game 'cause i cant be bothered using it any further...

no need to shame for that
at first Iw asnt even able to place a object in a room so.... xD

darn!

Well I can't figure it out. I'm a writer not a spriter or programmer.

me neither

But you're going to need more help. So far we have...

Ashura
SSV3
BladeSlash
Myst

That's it.

grr curse u gamemaker!

Ashura and SSV3. That's all, I think. Unless Blade has one.

i used to have it.
