2d Game!

[playdoughrevisited]

I'd love to help create a 2D game with someone, similar to Super Mario Bros. Also, anyone know of any 2D games already out there?!

 

[pkw]

in fact, yes xD Soldiers v2.96 But im not interested in joining xD too busy

So when you say 2D, you mean like mario bros, right?
But what kind of gameplay will it include? Jumping around and collect coins? (like mario^^)
Please tell me and i may be helpful

Yes, in fact I do want to create a Mario game, and later a Mortal Combat game!

But for now I simply want to get straight all of my triggers and I think that Soldiers exemplifies exactly what I want to do the best.

Here are some screen shots that show the explanation of what the keys do (from the loading screen) and jumping and moving. Notice how the Soldier stands, due to 'gravity' on the cliff face. Was this done with regions? Does anyone know how to do this?

You can detect terrain height differences using GetLocationZ(someLocation).

is the map protected? If you ask he ho made it mayby you can open it and use the triggers

That would atleast save some time

 

[PurplePoot]

Or you could just use GetLocationZ(), which is what they do anyways.

 

[woxx]

what is GetLocationZ?

 

[PurplePoot]

A function that returns the Z of a location?

@ Purplepoot thx good idea.

@ Woxx lol even better idea, that sure would, but now that I've gone this far in it, I'm enjoying making everything from scratch

Also, thanks for all the advice, I just wanted to say that this thread is being discontinued from my end, as I'll be putting all my updates in an edited thread in Map Development called Playdoughrevisited's 2D Battle.
