Hi

i was just wondering if i should upgrade from my old mmf2 into the latest build of 2.5
what are the main or major differences between the two products ?
thank you,
piki.

thanks StephenL , i will have to start over from the beginners tutorials to refresh my memory , did nice level few years ago...took me 4 months to complete this 7 minuts level but i did it complex...

hello all:)

it's been a while since i used mmf2 and lately i am about to use it again and i have two questions to ask:

1.about the java,flash and the browser extensions, do i download them like...

is it possible to create game with touch controlls? or this aplication does not support this fiture?

thanks koobare :)
apriciate you'r effort mate:)

and no..i didn't notice that this tutorial is talking about my issue, i'll read it:)

ok..found the way with the alpha channel:)
thanks.

in the animation editor, lets say i want to cut part of an object, how do i keep the erea that been deleted transparent?

(i have man, i cut he's legs and i am getting half body and he's legs still...

ok..

now, is there option to save few files and to open specific file?
(lets say, i have game with 5 levels and i want's to save the game in five deffrent posiotions, so the user will be able to...

so simple..dunno why i had complications, but now thanks to your help, works great:)

thanks for the help.

hello:)

i know how to change the frame size, but when i change the y size of the screen, the play window is always going to the top of the screen so i must start the game from the top , and what...

can you make example , how this extesion works?

everyone and he's skill and what works for him:)
i am bad coder..i am mutch better with graphic and animations and i am the best with music creation, but..to make games, you need to code...

timer never really work for me and to ad 1..well..thats what i am doing but..something goe's wrong...i will try o fix it tommorow.

hello:)

if i have one object that apear every few seconds and disapear after few seconds, how can i count how many of that object was in the screen?

i used counter o be as the number of objects...

thanks for the support at this bad hour :(
pm'ed to Yves and no..i don't have auto backup probably, cause i am working with the HWA beta.

luckily i have old backup so i will not have to start it...

i am working weeks on an aplication and tonight i complited the work and after reboot, i am traying to open my aplication but i am getting :cannot copy data elemt! and right after that faild to open...

very good job Ravenius :) so..as everyone know's, beta versions are not the finl version, but i was stupid enough to start project on the HWA beta and..well it is only one level till now (6min's) but...

i am getting crash with error messege when i am runing this aplication.

how can i save frame position to a file?

i see..
so..what you trying to say is that it is better to work with the 248 beta cause it will have better compatiblity with the next HWA ver?
and also, i checked the tutorial in the mmf2 folder...

ok jeff..so where is the beta of 248? where can i download it ?

so for this noob questions, but i always have nevigation problems on this site :/

*ok..i found the 248, but it is without HWA,...

i think i am using build r249..now i am confused..i have to go for older version?

hi

i was wondering, how do i use "save game" object.

can i save game at any point of my game? if so..again, how ? :)
also..how do i load the game from that saved position?

thanks.

ok cool..i'll test around few i dea's and see how it goe's.

thanks :)

so..why there is option to play sounds in specific channel?
(i guess to control specific sample volume or what ever..)
any othere reason?

and how many channels total? how many samples can i play...

hi again;)

i was wondering what is the meaning of the channels:1.32=32 channels? and if so, 1.1= channel 2? or 2=2 3=3etc?

channels are like multitrack recordering software? so not all the...

ok..i think the problem was that few bullet objects hited the explosive at the same time..also i had to limit the condition to once when event loops
works fine now:)

thanks guys;)

thanks for very fast reply:)

i named it like this:

"hits"
or
"enemy hits"
and the third i used the default
"alterable value c"

hi:)

i was about to give an object , few alterable values, and the first 2 are ok, i reneamed them and gave them values and they are working well, but when it comes to the alterable number 3..it...

yea, i made arcade space level and wanted waves of enemies, and lets say after 300-400 actives with animation that flaying around the play area..i was close to freeze, thats why we all waited so...

where can i change this parameter?

ok found it:)
thanks alot mate

hi:)

i am almost sure i saw this question in the past, but i coulden't find it:(

can i change the arrow keys to the "WASD" with the 8 direction movement?
i tried few things befor this post,...

no no mate lol..i didn't ignore you..sorry i made you feel like that:( have your files on my desktop to watch and learn.
you helped me alot with your example and i found a way with vector movement...

thats perffect:), but...you know me lol..always looking for easy way with out hard math :/

any other way...even ugly but more easy?

ok mate:) thanks alot for your help , i appreciate the effort.
i am working for long weeks on new arcade title. tile now i made alot of media and animation's and i kinda builded the first level and...

thanks man:) finaly made it to work, but i can't get the aim to be correct in all the angles of the shooting..i gave the bullet 32 direction's and placed the hot spot in the center of the bullet, but...

ok..i did the same thing like you said on the first example i posted here, but the problem is:can't use the mouse to shoot object and at the same time to have the crosshairs moving.
if i have to...

and on the way, anothere thing about the mouse aim and the bullets. i did it with spacebar key as the trigger, and it shoots nice into the direction of the mouse pointer, but i noticed that it's not...

hi:)

i have little question:

it is not passable to have objet to be the mouse pointer and at the same time to shoot another object with the mouse into the mouse pointer position?
looks like...

well...thats right, but when we are talking about developing projects, you need to know where and when things will be ready, or at least target dead line..like was with the hwa.

hi:)

i have little question:

it is not passable to have objet to be the mouse pointer and at the same time to shoot another object with the mouse into the mouse pointer position?
looks like...

any new's about the full screen option?
when it will be ready or anything?

thanks.

yes..thats it:), so most of the work here is to set the action and hot spot on the right direction and to give the bullet 32 directions.
now i have better understanding how this spots works.
...

yea:)..i knew about the bouncing ball option, but i thought that it is passable with the "shoot at" option.
thanks anyway:)

thanks my friend:)

ok...i made it your way, but still..problem not solved..(probably i did it wrong, as usual lol)
here..take a look and tell me whats wrong and how can i make the bullet come allways of the gun hole:...

hi

if i have enemy object, and i gave this object 3 directions so lets say ,if player move to right, the enemy look to the right direction, and i wants the enemy to shoot on the player. till now...

thanks:)
very sipmle to do actualy, but i will have to make few tests to see if i understand it well:)

i guess sometime i will have to learn this tricks , cause its very nice, but..step by step;)

ok..got it:)..finaly and for my level of knowlege it's wonderfull.
SEELE code is mutch more complicated for me, but very impressive sample.

many many thanks.

thanks:D

thanks SEELE, but i will try to stick with Ravenius version, cause it sounds more simple (i think). anyway, i tried to do as Ravenius said, but it's not working to me:(
here is what i did:
...

looks great to me:)
this math is too mutch for me...i am allways traying to go around it :(
but one day, i will have to get into it.

hello:)

if i want's to create gun object that will point allways in the direction of the mouse but will not move from it's position...like the gun stands in the mid lower position of the screen...

ha:)

maybe the sec example is less fancy and smooth, but still cool and easyer to understand.

thanks alot for the efort seele:)

certainly gave me some points to think of:)
i will have to understand the "fast loop" idea..it's still above my knowlege, but the example is the thing i was looking for.

thanks seele;)

hi:)

what is the best way to create tail that follow the player object, but with realistic behavior like:when player turns the tail follow with deley and with the right angles?
thanks in advance.

i see...ok:)
as they say, this engine is for 2d creations.

Dynamite ,is it passable to do the same thing but with smooter surface?...the surface is ugly..makes you feel like the early pc days lol.

ok finaly :)
thats what i had to use:


is getting closer than __ pixels from windows edge

:)
thanks for the support mate:) now it works like charm..when i am out of sight, canon is not...

ok..i'll try this solution:)

thanks for your help mate, but still the same prob...when i move to the right side and the canon is out of sight, i can see more and more bullets that the canon shoots by the debuger..:(

when i...

this is the screen:
two space-crafts that moving with the 8 direction movement (player) and in the midle of the screen there is object that shoots bullets to the player direction and i set scroll...

first , thanks:)

sec, can you be more specific about the answers..how to do this acceleration thing in the ev editior?

also..how can i create custom movement?

sorry for being so noob..it's...

how can i accelerate an object, that i gave it the 8 direction movement and upon pressing "right key" i wants the object to accelerate from lets say 50 to 80 but not too fast?

also i asked this...

ok good:)
thanks:)

not exacly...
i'll descibe it again:

lets say we have enemy craft (controlled by the pc) that shoots bullets at another enemy craft that also controlled by the pc.

i just wants the shooting to...

is it passable to make one object to shoot lets say a spaceship enemy that shoot her bullets randomly?
(let the spaceship decide when to shoot)
also-i want the spaceship to shoot on onto another...

well..let me tell you ,i came to mmf2 after a long search for the right tool that will give me 3d field to create my idea's and there are alot of tools out there, but most of them need coding...

anyone can guide me abit?

or even any other way to do it?

i am talking about this kind of game:

http://www.games2download.com/free-puzzle-games/luxor-screen2.htm

hi:)

can i use this option (race car movement) to move the pc players and not the human player, like the bouncing ball that moves alone automaticly with no controls?

i saw the race line 2 and...

i am noob here, but sounds like you have to do something like that:
