I have 2 seperate characters and want to make them both moveable at the same time, one is controled by the arrow keys but i want the other character to be controled (left and right) with F and H. I just can't seem to figure out how to make my character move using alternate controls.
Also, anyone know how to debug save files? i get an item in one frame, but it changes to 8 in the next frame instead of keeping one.
need more info in order to help. Are you using built in movements or custom movements? also how does your save file work? using ini's or another method. Have you checked your coding isn't reproducing 8 copies f the item?
Yeah I'm Using INIs and i've completely wipped the save files several times (of data) but it still does it.
Also, im using a custom character. I put all his animations together etc.
so to move left i want to use F
and to move right i want to use H
How exactly do i do that?
i did try to do:
When F is held down:
Change Animation - walk
face direction - left
X("Ivan 1)-1
and the opposite for H
but it didnt work, he moved too slow and when i let go of F or H Ivan didnt go back to his stopped animation. What do i do??
With what you have there, to make the animation go back to stopped, you would also need to add code for when the buttons are not pressed.
So for above you could put:
[Negated] When F is held down
+ [Negated] When H is held down
= Change animation to stopped
If he's going too slow, you could simply increase the number of pixels he moves each frame. Would that not be suitable?
For the saving system problem it might be best if you posted up your .mfa file so people can have a look and see what's wrong.
or you could just have ivan as player 2, change player 2's controls so that they are F & H instead of the default cursor keys. Then you could control the speed through the movement you have selected. I'm guessing your using a standard movement for player 1 since you don't have a problem with his controls or speed but correct me if i'm wrong
Yeah, but when i set the speed to go faster the animation gets screwed up. when i push H to go right, everything works fine, but when i click F to go left, the character plays the run left animation but slides to the right. This is only when i set the speed up. wtf is up with it?? *Sob*
Could you upload the file and I'll see if I can spot what's wrong
How do i do that? im new sorry
To be honest, it's been so long since I did that I've forgotten how.
I'll try and figure it out. Give me a minute...
