Thanks, but if there is 2 zombies at the same time, it still brokes it.

What I want is to be able to create as many zombies as I want and they still work. Even so I'm grateful for your effort

Then i'd try prototyping various ways of doing it. You can use PMO for multiple objects, it's just a matter of matching IDs correctly

The installation procedure is the same as on Windows. You can access the Fusion installation folder by right-clicking on the Mac app and clicking "Show Package Contents", and going to the "drive_c" folder.

Thank you:)

You could give each instance an alterable value called ID and do spread value ID 0 when you create them

Then you'd just go

if ID=0 then grab value1

I had a look at it and changed the events to use spread value in IDs instead of fixed value

Admittedly i'm not entirely sure what is supposed to happen but tell me if it's something like this you're looking for

I can't open your file because i'm running Fusion through a wineskin wrapper on macos and i'm not entirely sure how to manually install the ultimate fullscreen extension

If i had to guess what could be wrong i would say it's something to do with how you're assigning IDs to actives and PMOs

I used spread value in my example

Still a bit rusty in Fusion but it does seem to work when creating both PMO and actives at runtime like so

Yup, static is the way to go for that

With the code I had, it behaved almost the same, but resulting in a "bouncing" effect of 1 pixel while the object tried to fall but then bounced back up above the ground or something odd like that.

After a good night of sleep I started from scratch, used some flags and nested loops and had a "checker" object loop under each enemy and I got it to work exactly how I wanted it to. I don't know 100% what I did differently (probably just programmed it correctly this time lol) but sleeping on it works! Thanks for the reply!

Yea, i know that feeling

Glad you got it working:)

Just a quick thought but what happens if you move the collision check loop part to the top so it's checked first?

Very dirty example of what i mean here

There is probably a much more elegant way of doing this but as i said, i'm a bit rusty

Anyway, it works but you need to have different names for the coin in each frame

Yea, that was not a good suggestion since destroying the object will reset the flag. So i'm thinking instead of actually destroying the coin, you could use flags to set their visibility and position

If a coin has been picked up, set it's flag on and move it outside the play area. That way it will appear to have been destroyed but you should be able to keep track of them using flags

I don't see any reason why you couldn't make a tactical RPG in Fusion using only default extensions

One advice though, regarding what has already been mentioned about project size for a first game, i don't think a TRPG is impossible with your background. It's more a matter of scope in my opinion

Aim small at first, get the basic gameplay down including graphics and sounds. Sort of in line with the Please login to see this link. approach. At that point, get some testers so you can get some feedback on what does and doesn't work and adjust accordingly

If you get enough positive feedback and you're happy with what you've got, you can now expand your scope and implement things like a detailed world, story, talent trees or what ever else you'd like to have in your game

If you get stuck and start to lose motivation, some studies actually suggest that jumping between a couple of projects can improve creativity. At any rate, it's useful to leave your project for a day or two so you can look at it with fresh eyes. It's very easy to overlook the simplest problems when you've been buried in a project for a while

Admittedly i'm a bit rusty in Fusion but if you're using a global object i'd try setting an alterable variable or flag on the coin when it's picked up by the player and then, at the start of the frame, run through each coin and destroy every instance with said flag or value set

You're right

I have no idea then

Hello Schrodinger!

Thanks for the welcome back:D

and thanks for that bit of code. That will come in handy for sure!

Yes, Fusion is king and Fusion 3 looks amazing!

Why not use the easing object?

Like so

I figured it out and as suspected it was due to my lack of trigonometry skills

In case anyone needs something similar i used this check

(oangle("Car",x("Node"),y("Node")-angle("Car")+360))mod360>180

to determine if the car should have negative or positive rotation

Hello

I'm working on a top down racer and i'm having some problems getting the ai cars moving the way i want them to

It's setup so they move from node to node, always targeting the next node. This works fine with vector movement but the problem is they don't drift. It's like they're glued to the track

I've tried to achieve something similar using physics instead but i can't make it work. I suspect this is because of my less than stellar trigonometry skills but here is what i've tried so far

- compare the angle of the car with the angle between the car and the next node and then rotate accordingly while applying force at the current angle of the car. This sorta works except sometimes they will drive a full extra circle

- use the advanced directional object. That just opened a new can of worms since i've never used it before and looking through the samples i didn't really find anything i could apply to my situation

So any help would be very much appreciated

Either with applying drifting using the vector movement or a physics setup that actually works, as in the ai cars are able to determine if they're within 10 degrees of a given node and if not, rotate towards it and then apply force

Thanks!:D

Those GIFs are fantastic!

I too would happily pay for a tutorial from you, Sinclairian
