need help with RPG Frame character position transitions

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

  • Okay I am working on an RPG. But the problem is transitioning character position from one frame to the next. To make the game not so linear. Basically I need the character to enter a frame from the position he came from a previous frame.

    For example. If the character comes down from frame 1 into frame 2, obviously he needs to come into frame 2 from the top.

    But if she comes up from frame 3 into frame 2, he needs to come in from the bottom of frame 2, but at the moment it only enters into frame 2 from the top as if it came in from frame 1.

    I am assuming this can be fixed in the global events editor, but I am unsure as to how to do this.

    Also how do I get frames to remember events from other frames, like RPG maker?

  • Okay here is the sample I got, I am trying to break it down so I can understand it. Can someone help me understand how it was done? A little tutorial maybe? Sorry to be a pain.

  • Sad to see nobody else have responded in my absence. Perhaps you have figured it out by now, but in case you haven't:

    Data between frames is not saved. So you'll have to store these values somewhere if you want to be able to use them. The easiest way to do this in Fusion is to use Global Values and Strings.
    Global Values hold numbers, Global Strings is used for text.

    Objects are positioned on the screen using X and Y values. So if you want the next frame to remember the position, you could store the X and Y position in Global Values.

    Then on the next frame, use a Start of Frame event: set X or Y Coordinate to the Global Value depending on which direction the player comes from.

    Check out my example: Please login to see this attachment.

  • Thanks for posting your example. :)
    I'm sure the thread author and all people with the same question can benefit from this.
    I would just like to mention that he got several explanations from "our" people in the Steam forum on this question as well, so don't give up on humanity that fast. XD
