Hey, does anyone feel like diong a collaboration thing with me where they start out by making basic stuff like the engine, enemies, ect. and then I do most of what's left, such as levels 2+, more enemies, more hazards, maybe improving thee engine but i doubt it?

Obviously I'm not going to just go and make most of the game for you, but I could help you with stuff.

Also, it's better if you make the engine yourself, that way you'll understand exactly how it works as you're making the game.

It took me at most a week to be able to fluently understand ET when I decompiled it. I even started 2 fangames using it.

And knowing how awful you are at Game Maker, you wouldn't know how to make something new that fits in with my engine.

You mean ripoffs. It's game-stealing *sstards like you that make me want to stop making games.

Remember, I stopped decompiling. And besides, The reason AoDD2 is so awful at the moment is because I was using an awful engine from when I was awful. You can't expect me to fix it overnight. Besides, right now, the worst ting about it is the death and save engine. I called out to YOU, to help me. YOU. I know Blast!10 helped you with the save engine back when ET2 was nothing. Maybe I should go to him, he was one of my few friends while I was banned, and you keep complaining about things that I apologized for.
Edit: Let's just forget everything. I'm sorry about the decompiling.

Blast!10 had nothing to do with the production of any of the Evil Toaster games.

And you expect me to help you after outright stealing my games?

...And you expect me to continue this into a flamewar?
Seriously, I literally never released any games made with the code that was decompiled. I'm glad that I lost my computer, because I actually not only lost the gmk files, but I also lost AoDD which had stolen data. The closest things that I released were the anniversary game, which was a replica of the game to the best of my ability, and the video of ET vs Dancing Duck, which was actually from stolen code.
I truly regret downloading that stupid decompiler and am happy that it got deleted from the internet. There's no games for it to decompile where it is now. I wish you would just forgive me.

OK, you're forgiven. Sorry for the outburst, I've just been in a very bad mood recently.

Ergh.

HOW DO YOU MAKE IT SO THAT YOU CAN STILL MOVE WHILE ON THE GROUND?!

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Tue Nov 08, 2011 7:43 pm

What programming are you using for movement and collision?

Nobody · Post by **Nobody** » Tue Nov 08, 2011 8:40 pm

Step: If there isn't a collision with a solid object, the gravity will be set to 4.

Collision with ground: You will move at speed 0 down, left, and right.

Press left/right: Move left/right at speed 4.

Release left/right: Move left/right at speed 0.

Make sure the direction is set to 270. Here's the pseudo-code I use in all of my platforming games (click on the "Show Information" button in the object editor to see the pseudo-code on your object):

Code: Select all

if relative position &#40;0,1&#41; is collision free for Only solid objects
set the gravity to 0.8 in direction 270
else
set the gravity to 0 in direction 270

Nobody wrote:Press left/right: Move left/right at speed 4.

Release left/right: Move left/right at speed 0.

Don't use the arrow thingies for movement, they work horribly when it comes to moving while airborne. Instead, use Jump to Position (make sure the "relative" box is checked).

Nobody wrote:Collision with ground: You will move at speed 0 down, left, and right.

If you want an object to stop moving in all directions, just toggle the square in the middle of the arrow thingies. You don't have to press all of them. Here's the collision pseudo-code I use:

Code: Select all

move in direction direction at most 16 till a contact with solid objects
start moving in directions 000010000 &#40;which is the box thingy in the middle&#41; with speed set to 0

^Holy crap, our platformer engines are, like, allmost idenical. 0_0

DEEMAN223344 · Post by **DEEMAN223344** » Tue Nov 08, 2011 9:34 pm

@BWF and MNIK, Agreed.
I decided to take the save problem into my own hands, and fixed it.
Now, how do you make it so it waits before making you take more damage? My adaptation is terrible (it waits too long and stuff).

boywhoflies · Post by **boywhoflies** » Tue Nov 08, 2011 9:38 pm

How I did it(IIRC):
Have a varible called "pain"
Make "pain" go down by one each step
When it's made that you can get hurt, check if pain is smaller than 1. If so, then you get hurt.
When you do get hurt, set pain to how many steps it should before you can get hurt again

DEEMAN223344 · Post by **DEEMAN223344** » Tue Nov 08, 2011 9:57 pm

I found out that the timer was too long.
Fixed it.

I just use an alarm.

^Same here. I originally had the Alarm in AoDD for 60 frames, but that proved to be too long.

You might need that extra alarm later on, though.

If you need more alarms, then just make invisible objects...

boywhoflies · Post by **boywhoflies** » Wed Nov 09, 2011 12:57 am

Good point. Now that I think about it, you could probaly make extra alarms with trigger events as well.[/code]
