Animation Thing

[Delta Hedgehog]

Ok. I want to make a waterfall for my first stage Seaside Island, although the sprite tiles I used on have one waterfall sprite. Is there a code that animated one frame to go downwards?

[OverbounD]

You are ridiculous I've told you time and time again. If you don't tell people what you are using to make your game no ones going to know what the hell you are talking about. You cannot assume everyone just knows.

He's using GameMaker I think. I'd help but I'm tired of this, you cannot help someone who can't help himself.

[Delta Hedgehog]

Sorry about that. I am using game maker.

Do you know how to use surfaces? If so, I just had this idea in head that could work.

[Delta Hedgehog]

justin123 - No I Don't know. Wish I did though.

Overbound - That is total bull. I looked through all of my fangaming help threads and not once, NOT ONCE, have you told me that I needed to state what program I am using. You are the second person to de- rep me because of bullshit reasons. And I'm only human, people FORGET!!!!!

Surfaces are easy.

Sprite Part:

1. make a 16x16 sprite.
2.In the sprite, use the line tool and color the left and left-top edges to make a corner.

Object Part:

Make New Object
Set new sprite as the object's sprite

     Create Event:

	In a script put this:

		width=0;
		height=0;

		surface=surface_create(width, height);
		x_speed=0;
		y_speed=0;
		xMov=0;
		yMov=0;

		surface_is_set=false;		

		is_Sprite=false;
		is_Background=false;

		index=0;

     Step Event:

	In a script put this:

		if (x > view_xview[view_current] || x+width > view_xview[view_current]+view_wview[view_current]  ||  y > view_yview[view_current] || y+height > view_yview[view_current]+view_hview[view_current]) 
		{
		surface_set_target(surface);

		surface_is_set=true;

		draw_set_color(c_white);
		draw_set_alpha(1);// you Can make an alpha variable if you want.

		if (is_Sprite && !is_Background)
		{
		xMov+=x_speed;
		yMov+=y_speed;
		draw_sprite_tiled( index, -1, xMov, yMov); you can also make a image speed variable too.
		}

		if (is_Background && !is_Sprite)
		{
		xMov+=x_speed;
		yMov+=y_speed;
		draw_background_tiled(index, xMov, yMov);
		}

		surface_reset_target();
		surface_is_set=false

		}
		else
		{

		if (surface_is_set)
		{
		surface_reset_target();
		surface_is_set=false;
		}


     Draw Event:

	Script Again:


		if (x > view_xview[view_current] || x+width > view_xview[view_current]+view_wview[view_current]  ||  y > view_yview[view_current] || y+height > view_yview[view_current]+view_hview[view_current]) 
		{

		draw_primitive_begin_texture(pr_triangle_list, surface_get_texture(surface));

		draw_vertex_texture(x,y,0,0);
		draw_vertex_texture(x+width,y,1,0);
		draw_vertex_texture(x+width,y+height,1,1);

		draw_vertex_texture(x,y,0,0);
		draw_vertex_texture(x,y+height,0,1);
		draw_vertex_texture(x+width,y+height,1,1);

		draw_primitive_end();

		}
[/CODE]

In the room, place the object. Hold down the control key, right click on the object. In the menu, click on "creation code". This will open a script box (If you didn't already know).

put this:

[CODE]width=//How wide
height=//How tall

index=//the name of your background or sprite
//If your image is a sprite:
is_Sprite=true;
is_Background=false;

//If the image is a background reverse the variables above.

x_speed=//how fast to scroll horizontally
y_speed=//how fast to scroll vertically[/CODE]

I didn't test this code. If it doesn't work reply back. I'll fix it.

Wah...Wah...Wah!

Think things through before you post and use a bit of common sense and you wouldn't have a problem.

[DimensionWarped]

Alrighty, that's enough of that.

[Delta Hedgehog]

Ok, I'll test the code, see if it works.

EDIT: The code does work. I got an error.

FATAL ERROR in

for object object53:

COMPILATION ERROR in code action

else

{<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Right here delete this.

if (surface_is_set)

{

surface_reset_target();

surface_is_set=false;

}

Okay so the guy is obviously a noob at making games, and also to posting on this forum. Quit being so quick to jump down his throat. De-repping someone for something like this is childish unless he just isn't listening, and i don't think that's the case at the moment.

Why are you people so incompatible with noobs. Jesus.

[OverbounD]

Delta and I have both been listening to what DW said he is an Admin after all. I guess its not just noobs that have common sense problems. Drop it.

[Serephim]

"common sense" would show you these things before you always decide to ignore it and be a dick to everyone you think you can be one to.

Drop it? Okay. Stop doing it.

[OverbounD]

Drop it? Okay. Stop doing it.

Um maybe someone didn't inform you but the argument was already over.

[justin123]

add another "}" at the end in the step code.

		{

		if (surface_is_set)
		{
		surface_reset_target();
		surface_is_set=false;
		}

                }
[/CODE]

[Delta Hedgehog]

Thanks justin123, Rep Up.

OFF TOPIC: What kind of textures does everyone want for my game S:EOD?

100% Original from scratch

OR...

Take peices from exsisting textures and mix them to make cool designs?

(Ex. Sunset Hill Grass+Neo Green Hill Checkers=Awesome)

[justin123]

From what I've seen around here, everyone seems to like original content. Plus if you make all of your graphics, music, etc, you have a less chance of being sued by SEGA (like they care anyways because they're retards).

[Rawr]

LOL wow. SEGA are not retards because they turn a blind eye to our hobby and let us do it, if anything that means they are being generous and not suing us out the dick. They know fangames exist, and they most likely know of this place, so if they -really- wanted to they could C&D and other such things.

True. Even with all the particular things they had to endure, they're still very tolerant.

Square Enix on the other hand...

Anyway Delta, making your own stuff from scratch is the best way to proceed. Drawing ideas from existing sources is okay, but remember to make something you can claim as your work.

[Delta Hedgehog]

Ok. I'm making 100% custom. I'll upload them to the Art section when finished.

[Delta Hedgehog]

Sorry for the double post

Does the item have to be 16x16 for a reason?
