Nice.

Post by **Sammy_P** » Wed Apr 20, 2011 11:53 pm

Thank you!

The game will NOT look like that..

1. ADs are now transparent.
2. Background!
3. Cheat codes! (sorry to disappoint, but you must hex/debug the game) (cheat codes: ;drill; ;grav; ;tele;)
4. Enemies!
5. Sound!
6. If the game FPS (Frames per second) is too low, the game trys to make the lag lower! (Not yet tested)
7. Other stuff I might have forgot

If 6 is by changing the room speed, sorry, it's read-only.

Can I use that kind of map in a sequel to Noob Shooter?

Post by **Sammy_P** » Thu Apr 21, 2011 12:03 am

Yeah..but I'll have to send you the GM81. 'but hold on, that will be tonight (maybe)'

boywhoflies · Post by **boywhoflies** » Thu Apr 21, 2011 12:04 am

It's ok. I was just asking about the look.

Actually..

Do you want it in GMK or GM81?

Quote this, then put the choice in the bold part.

REMOVE THIS AND REPLACE IT WITH YOUR ANSWER

Neither. I just wanted to give Noob Shooter 2 a similar look.

You can still use 8.1 to open GMKs.

Obviously, but you can't open GM81 with previous versions.

MUST GET RID OF!

I'm sorry, but Cheat Codes totally ruined the Wonderland Games for me. I'd hate to see them ruin someone else's game.

Why? You cannot do anything to get to them, only I can.

So why are you telling us?

LittleZbot · Post by **LittleZbot** » Thu Apr 21, 2011 2:56 am

You might as well not tell us and remove them as soon as you are done testing.

How did you give the X a trail?

Post by **Sammy_P** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 12:49 am

Create a new sprite. Make it the same as the player sprite, but make it slowly disappear.

Create a new object with the sprite. Add an -Animation End- event, and put in the action -Destroy the instance-. Set it to self.

In the Player object, create an -Begin Step- event, in that add this action. -Create instance, 0x,0y, relative, the Trail object-.

Play, and you should see a trail.

However, MY trail makes the game non-lag on what your FPS is, if it is high, the trail should be long, low FPS makes a short trail.

This was all I needed, thanks.

Post by **Sammy_P** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 1:37 am

No problem.

BTW, where are you going to use the trails?

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 1:38 am

I was going to use them while the Apple D-Smashes in Evil Toaster 4. However, I decided against it because it would look bad if the apple's still spinning from a double jump.

Post by **Sammy_P** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 1:41 am

You could make a separate sprite of The Apple with a spinning trail. You might need another Variable to see if you are double-jumping. (if so already, you just need to make it so the trail object changes its sprite to your double-jump (if you are, and if you are not))

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 1:43 am

I was thinking of doing that, but the trail wouldn't be in sync with the spinning apple's subimage.

Post by **Sammy_P** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 1:45 am

Maybe another variable on what subimage the double-jump sprite is on? If it works?

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Sun Apr 24, 2011 1:47 am

I think that something along the lines of

spinningphase = subimage

(with spinningphase being the variable)

but knowing my luck that probably won't work.
