Post by: roketx on October 16, 2009, 03:22:08 am: make it when you swing the sword it creates a tiny tiny colider the size of 2x2 pixel and no less that only attacks the very front of link so you're not randomly destorying 2 bushes unrealisticly

takes like 2 secs to make and feels alot better

Post by: Antidote on October 16, 2009, 05:41:45 am: again dlbrooks excellent work, and on the whole bush cutting thing, leave it as is. Its near pixel perfect to the real deal and nothing really needs to be done to it. Man it's hard to believe you came here about 4 years ago not knowing how and asking for examples, and now your helping out teh newbies :D

EDIT:
roketx: in Zelda it's fairly common to cut multiple bushes with one swing

Yeah that's not quite how the GB zelda games work.

Basically it's like this---

([L] = Link, [S ] = Sword Collision Box)

If link's facing downward, and starts his swing, it appears this way-

FRAME 1:

Code: [Select]
   [L]
FRAME 2:

Code: [Select]
  [S][L]
FRAME 3:

Code: [Select]
   [L]   [S]
FRAME 4:

Code: [Select]
   [L]    [S]
Frame 5:

Code: [Select]
   [L]

Those aren't actual frames in the animation, but that's the order in which the sword collision box moves. It's a 16x16 "imaginary" area that moves with the sword as it swings. It cuts multiple bushes.

Except in a charged spin-

I can't remember for sure if the sword collision node actually effects bushes in a normal swipe, but it does affect things like enemies D:... I s'pose it's worth a look

Yeah, it effects enemy's in the way you described. In any case, it's not anything really important. XD
