Getting a little frustrated.

Hi! This is my first post, so... hmm... well, I hope you can help me. Cause Im getting mad

Im getting very frustrated with this, im trying to make object reappear/make invisible through conditions like: Alterable value is 1/0, object is visible. No matter it never works. Values doesnt seeem to work, counter maybe would work, but im not going to use +9000 of them.

Im also trying to get results with object overlapping another, same story, nothing happens. Fusion cant recognize the overlapping.

Im also trying to get my characters speed to increase when I hit the shift button and move, nothing works. If I want to negate my speed back to normal my character will start to move by itself.

Do I have a faulty Fusion 2.5? Cause Ive worked years with mmf2 and never got as frustrated as now, many things doesnt work like they used to work in mmf2.

Or am I just getting dumb...

Hi Lakera, I'm sorry you're frustrated, but you have to post a sample MFA if you want people to be able to help you. All the things you described work just fine for me.

My character also gets stuck with another object even though they have no collisions.

Looks like I have veeery bugged Fusion 2.5. What else could it be? Should I just remove it and download it again with steam. I dont have the free version, but the payed one.

If you post a sample mfa this will help us understand the problem better. Without the mfa, we are simply shooting in the dark but most likely it is an issue in the code, not in Fusion.

for makeing things visible/invisible you need to

Set effect > alpha blend coefficent 0 is visible - 255 is invisible

the speed thing you would use repeat while key is held

cant say much more without seeing an example

Nearly everything works exactly the same in 2.5 as it did in 2. Very unlikely you've "worked years" with mmf2 and yet are getting hung up on these problems in 2.5.

Multiple users explicitly requested a simple .mfa example illustrating your problems, but you just gave vague descriptions instead. Can't really expect help if you won't help us help you :/

Sry im not going to release .mfa cause my project is huge:(

Well, I tried again today and now the invisibilty thing seems to work, for now. Cant understand why it didnt work yesterday.

Back to collision/overlapping problem

-When "object A" is colliding/overlapping "object B" ---> "Object A" changes its movement to "movement 2"

well it doesnt work when "Object A" is overlapping "Object B", but it works when they're colliding. (Cant understand why)
BUT after the "A's" movement is changed to "movement 2" and "A" collides with "B", "Object A" gets stuck on "Object B"

AND FOR THE RUNNING THING

Running works when I only press shift but it doesnt work when I press Shift + D (Move to right) ot A (move to left)

Can anyone help me through this?

Well, Ive been messing around with Clickteam products for like ten years and never encountered such stupid problems before. I didnt even have to register to clickteam community before cause such problems did not exist.

Lakera, I understand if you don't want to post your full project, but can't you create a very small, one frame .mfa for people to look at? It would probably only take you a few minutes to do, if you had done that originally, your problem would most likely have been solved by now...

link to collision problem .mfa

you can try to change overlapping to colliding, but almost same with results, object gets a little stuck with other object.

your missing a only 1 action when event loops condition when you change the movement

OK, it helped with overlapping, but theres still happening this same little get stuck on effect as with using object collides with other object.

just cannot understand what creates collision. Maybe I should try same with flag?

EDIT: I just cannot get it to work...
EDIT: FIGURED IT OUT LOL

What about the running thing... how would you do it?

I mean by holding shift player runs and then stops running when key is lifted.

And I mean when hes already moving.

go in to your active object and change the acceleration and deacceleration on both movements to 250

i just figured it out couple of minutes ago scilya, still thank you!

What about the running thing I mentioned in my last post?

upon pressing a key
set maximum speed to 100

speed of object equal or less than 50
set maximum, speed to 50

what if the objects movement is physics movement platformer. So it has no maximum speed.

Ive tried to set objects alterable value to speed and set it upon pressing a key but no results.

You know im getting the speed increase, but object always starts to move by itself when I revert the speed to 50 even when I am not pressing any direction buttons.

OK, got it to work in very complicated way, maybe someone can figure an easy way around?

If you can manipulate the velocity directly (I have no clue, as I don't use the physics platform movement), you can simply cap it in the expression:

user holding right:
-set x velocity to min(current x velocity+ acceleration, max x velocity)

user holding left:
-set x velocity to max(current x velocity- acceleration, 0-max x velocity)

and if you were making a topdown game (maybe using the physics 8 direction movement):

user holding down:
-set y velocity to min(current y velocity+ acceleration, max y velocity)

user holding up:
-set y velocity to max(current y velocity- acceleration, 0-max y velocity)

Like this ?

You just pwned me in logic, Patrice. Many thanks!

Maybe i just should start relying more to counters, but if I am completely honest, I really hate to have +9000 counters in my project.

Shame though that there is just no maximum speed what we could use.

It's true...Maybe you can use alterables values of your actives objects.
