I'm starting this friday the 13th game, like that old one for nintendo. I got the graphics down, but I'm going to have some problems with coding. I just need someone good to help me along with this, not do it entirely, I have most of the engine done, so all I really need is to build the areas and make it so you can leave people in certain locations and have Jason run throughout the area... Confusing but I think it can be done. Anyone here wish to help?
Original Baby! And proud of it. It seems my practice with a sketch pad has rubbed off on my computer drawings. I could give you a screen of some of the charactors if you'd like?
Oh yeah, I am going to change things around a hell of alot. I'm thinking of making the game sort of a combination of Friday the 13th, Maniac Mansion/Clock Tower, and Sweet Home.
What specific parts do you need help with? Platform engines? Special Effects? Mutant pet hamsters that follow you around and launch themselves at enemies?
That hampster Idea sounded kind of cool, but I first of all need to know how to change frames with out loosing data like life and lives and stuff. I also need to find a way to keep people in a certain frame and have Jason wander trougout the frames as well. Try to explain it to me if you know how to do it, I'd like to actually learn it so that I don't have to worry about asking for help later.
Sure i can help, okay the data thing is quite easy:
---------------------------
Note: Instead of using the "Lives" object, use a "Counter"
and set it to an Animated Counter.
---------------------------
Event 1:
End Of Frame - Set "Global Value A to" (Value Of Lives Counter)
Event 2:
Start Of Frame - Set Counter to (Value of Global Value A)
---------------------------
Note: Dont do Event 2, on the First level.
thats one way of doing it, although theres many ways. anyway that should work.
Do you mean keeping people alive in the sense of keeping them alive or in the same spot when you go across frames? If you're going for the latter, I suggest just putting it all in one frame unless you're just doing it for less than 5 people.
Or are you just meaning something simple I overestimated that could be solved by Crystal's idea?
