Hello everyone. I'm gonna say this first, cause I'll get flamed probably: Yes, I know I should make my own script, but I'm still a complete beginning so I use other ppl's script to learn from them.
Now, off to the problem. As I already sad I have lesser knowledge of scripting (and yes I'm learning the basics through all the tutorials), but now I stumbled upon this great script by Nathan Stockton: __________________________________________

__________________________________________
This is the code for a platformer, which is by all scripts I stumbled upon the best. The only problem all this scripts lack is the "smooth walking on slopes". They all either get stuck, walk weirdly and incorrect or go past the wall/slope and get thrown in the air or something like that.
So what I'm asking is if anyone could help me out with this problem? Anything really, I would appreciate it.
And another thing: How to add "ceiling". As this scripts makes you have three walls. Down wall (where you stand) and left and right walls to detect collision. But there is no "up wall" or "ceiling", so the character can jump through all the grounds up (doesn't bump into the ceiling), which (I think) is the reason why he doesn't want to stand on moving grounds (or is there other reason)?
I really like this tutorial here. This is the most complete from the tutorial series, if you want the more basic ones, just look around on the website and you'll find them.
This seems to be the code from the slopes tutorial that might be useful:
function is_on_slope() { on_slope = false; x_slope_detector = Math.floor(x_pos/tile_size); y_slope_detector = Math.floor(y_pos/tile_size); if (jumping or falling) { if (level[y_slope_detector][x_slope_detector] == 10 or level[y_slope_detector][x_slope_detector] == 11) { if (level[y_slope_detector][x_slope_detector] == 10) { x_offset = tile_size-x_pos%tile_size; } // could be an "else"... if (level[y_slope_detector][x_slope_detector] == 11) { x_offset = x_pos%tile_size; } if (y_pos>Math.floor(y_pos/tile_size)*tile_size-9+x_offset) { // rebounce fix here } } } // could NOT be an else if (!jumping and !falling) { if (level[y_slope_detector+1][x_slope_detector] == 10 or level[y_slope_detector+1][x_slope_detector] == 11) { y_pos = (y_slope_detector+1)*tile_size+tile_size/2+1; y_slope_detector += 1; } if (level[y_slope_detector][x_slope_detector] == 10 or level[y_slope_detector][x_slope_detector] == 11) { if (level[y_slope_detector][x_slope_detector] == 10) { x_offset = tile_size-x_pos%tile_size; } // could be an "else"... if (level[y_slope_detector][x_slope_detector] == 11) { x_offset = x_pos%tile_size; } y_pos = Math.floor(y_pos/tile_size)*tile_size-9+x_offset; on_slope = true; } } if (!jumping and !falling and !on_slope and over != "ladder" { y_pos = (y_slope_detector)*tile_size+tile_size/2+1;
} }
I didn't adapt it for the nathan stockton engine but go ahead and give it a try!! Post with results.
To have the character fall when he hits the ceiling object just make a ceiling movie clip (can be invisible, I prefer it that way) and have the hit test function make falling true, and jumping false.
If you have any questions about things I did in my game or the engine in general feel free to ask away.
Thanks LLeRRoux. That tutorial is great, but has one little problem: "WTF?" I don't understand a single thing :O I don't know how to edit my, levels, sure I know how to add some tiles in array but have no idea how to add new or make new level or stuff like that. So I would appreciate anything else with slopes, but not tile based.
And plasmafish, thx for that script, but I'm afraid I have no idea how to add it anywhere :P And great game Super Mitchio, would love the scripts xD
