[Request/Listing] Having trouble with new rooms....

« on: April 04, 2006, 04:52:04 pm »

Okay, so I'm still working on a demo for my game, and I want to be able to go into houses and stuff, but I'm having just a bit of difficulty with making room transitions look nice. For example, how do you make the main character walk into a room and go to a certain position in that room, instead of where you started him off in that room before? BTW im using GM. Help would be much appreciated

Help would be much appreciated You are going about this all wrong. Make your characters object persistent. Have him only be created in one single room, and then when he moves room change the x and y of him, heres and example, for moving him when he hits the object that will make him move room: Room = [yourroom]; obj[yourobject].x = [wherever]; obj[yourobject].y = [wherever]; Like that. Hope it helped. Logged

Your welcome, just needed some advice from experienced gamemaker users. The ammount of mistakes i made like that, i did it all with global variables at first before i realised that i could do it with the obj[name].x ect, those were the days. Logged

Reputation: +0/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 1902	The way that I do it is actually pretty simple. In the "Outside Room" action for Link, put this code. (This is an example for going down out of a room) Code: [Select] `if room = [whateverroom] { if [LinkObject.y] > [TheBiggestYCoordinateOnTheMap] { room_goto(RoomHere); global.next_positiony = [Where you want him to start]; global.next_positionx = [Where you want him to start]; } }`Then, in the creation code of the room, put Code: [Select] `Link.x = global.next_positionx; Link.y = global.next_positiony;` Hope that helped some, if you actually understood it lol, if not, I can create an engine for you. Discuss. Logged

Quote so my friend stole a giant bag of ketchup out of the ketchup pumping things and brought it to our table and we took it in the bathroom and i smashed it over the sink and kicked it around the bathroom and smeared it everywhere and we all took turns kicking the ketchup out of it and when we were done it looked like an african village was murdered in the bathroom XFD.
