I would like to know if anyone is up for the challenge of providing an example (or hints) of how to make a trail follow the projectile from the sling shot?
I've looked at a great example called 'Angry Click' yet I would like to know how to create a trail effect that that show the last path the Projectile took.
or (even better)
Does anyone have any ideas of how to show the path the projectile will take? As in the style of Angry Birds.
If you already have an object being shot from a sling shot, then it's easy. Just create a new object (a dot or something) on the first objects position evey 250 ms or something like that.
I think I can make a example for you..just wait
Isn't neccessary....I found this example in another thread:

This is my example that Rubes was nice enough to fix. I would appreciate if no one used the graphics in this example as they are in a game of mine. Thank you very much. Aenever, I hope this helps you out. Good luck with your project.

Hello again Klik-it,
I suspected it was from you, but I was not sure, that's why I didnt mention your name.
Sorry...
Best regards!
No worries Paobrasil. It was posted by me in the other thread for a fix for the multiple touch object that Rubes fixed for me. He saved my butt..!!!
Thanks guys for the assistance.
I've seen that one before, yet the trail part had a password and therefore I couldn't see how it was achieved. I'll check the one above at home yet if it's the same one it's a cool example yet the code is locked.
Cheers
Nope it's definitely locked, visually it's perfect yet I can't see how it's done :(

a trail is very easy, just create the trail object relative to the ball ever X amount of time.
Or you can do it using for each loop with already created trail in the frame....I think it's better performance instead of aways create a object...

Very nice example paobrasil! A member and I are still trying to get the trails right. In my game I would like the same type trails that Angry Birds has. The trails are smaller and every 5 or so trails there is a bigger object. After the first set of trails are on the screen, they stay there until the next set is created. Please check out this video. This is perfect IMO!!

that is a pretty cool example paobrasil, though I don't think creating a couple of objects for the trail is going to have any real impact on performance, especially for an angry birds style game... I create and destroy thousands of particles (not all at once, obviously) in my projects and have not run into any problems. Just as long as you destroy them as you go, of course, attached updated version.. it's simple to see the concept anyway.

Hello again KLiK-iT,
Yeah, about size of the bigger object...I think you just need to spread the value of the trail to get a id of every object, then create a event to detect this id is equal 5, 10, 15...and so on...and change the scale..or change to a animation direction that have a bigger image?.....maybe this can work...
Hello again DaveC,
Nice example! Maybe you are right....I just shared this example because in my project, this method really otimized my game a lot instead of creating a particle....I dont know why....maybe because I'm developing in 1080p? or because there's others objects creating in same time..I don't know......but this loop method really otimized my game...XD

Can you do an example of how they do it in Angry Birds please. My game is not a copy of Angry Birds at all and is original. I just like the way they did their trails. It really looks great, but then again I like everything they did with those games. Very professional.
Thanks Guys, the click community are the best. Thanks especially to Pixel Pulse, Poabrasil and Klick-It. The product is only as good as the support, thanks for your time and effort. I'm sure this will benefit many others too. X)
I took DaveC example and modified...Attachment 12640
Thank you Paobrasil. I'll check it out as soon as I get on my PC..!
Edit: Very nice! Thanks again for the help.
Im using mmf2 and i can't can open the file. Can do another download link?
