Hi I'd like some help with finding a homing attack that is compatible for the Sonic Revival Engine.

Hi I'd like some help with finding a homing attack that is compatible for the Sonic Revival Engine.

The Sonic Revival engine uses Damizean's old movement engine (before the X-mas engine came out).

if ( ground == false && key_action_pressed && action = action_jumping )
{
    if (instance_exists(objBadnikParent)==true) 
{
        var nearestEnemy;
        nearestEnemy = instance_nearest(x, y, objBadnikParent);
        if (distance_to_object(nearestEnemy) < 60) 
{
             x_speed = (nearestEnemy.x - x)*0.1;
             y_speed = (nearestEnemy.y - y)*0.1;
}
}
}[/CODE]

That's the main code for Homing Attack that I found by searching, anyway. You might have to define an extra variable that activates when Sonic is jumping, and then add something to the first line of code.

Also I don't like that some people are still using my old crappy Sonic Revival engine, and I would prefer it if people used a newer, more organized one:

The homing attack code will work just fine with the new engine, simply because both engines use the same build Damizean made.

So i make another object of it or where about's do I put it?.

If your using the one that Chaos Rush put up make it go towards objEnemy. Im pretty sure thats what it is called.

More or less, is this:

in step event of objSonic:

if instance_exists(objEnemy){

near=instance_nearest(x,y,objEnemy);

if (distance_to_object(near)<300 && keyboard_check_pressed(homing_attack_key) && action=action_jumping) //for example

{

homing=1;

motion_set(point_direction(x,y,near.x,near.y),15);

}

}

In object Handling code, in the enemy handling:

if homing=1{

homing=0;

motion_set(0,0)

} //Make sure this code is applicated to sonic, maybe you want to stop hes motion.

And then, make the basic x_speed and y_speed works only when homing=0;

If you make this right I think it must work.

Good luck!

PD ChaosRush, that is not crappy, just incomplete.

you should know i'm using that engine right now xDD
