Guest Mr Lange Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Yes, these are made from 3d renders. My intention was to create sprites that resemble the originals. It is obvious that they do need to be used to a greater extent. I plan to create a new model that's more flexible and has better proportions for sprites.

Chaos-Fusion Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Anyone here know how to make a better polished trail effect? All I did right now for a placeholder is circles that gradually fade away. You mean like a consistent blue line from Modern games for homing attack or rolling? If that's what you're after, I can give you coding that I used for mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TailsSena Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Dude, it was removed like... Last year... I can't exactly remember why it was removed, but it had something to do with people spamming one of the buttons, up or down... Can't remember which, probably both.

TailsSena Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Hmm, looks like you attempted this Kanji... 伎 Means "Deed; Skill" I suppose this makes sense, a ruler needs both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strife Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Actually, it's not kanji - It's an attempt at the Chinese symbol for "leader", 长. But the bilingual bonus there is pretty neat as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthyMC Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Got tired of trying to do a trail, so I just went and made an afterimage thingy trial thing instead. (Great vocabulary huh?) Any suggestions as to how frequent the images should be shown, transparency, etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Great vocabulary huh?)[qimg]http://i.imgur.com/XbbE6.png[/qimg] Any suggestions as to how frequent the images should be shown, transparency, etc.? Perhaps... If you're going to make the trail a blue hue, you should actually make it all blue... Don't be afraid to alter the flesh-tones to be blue instead of an unsightly green.

OverbounD Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 I just had a thought. If you are using GM8 you could create a gradient sprite with alpha transparencies that you create instances of and fade out behind Sonic. Here is one such gradient I quick whipped up in PS for you. Sorry I didn't think of this before when you asked. I forget GM8's ability to work with alpha values in its image editor. GM7 and prior did not have that capability.

You want make a Sonic trail like this? That would be very nice of you if you could show me how to do that. Looks very polished too. ^^ And it's okay Overbound aha. But Overbound, I'm able to put the trail in, but I'm not sure how to make the trail rotate based on Sonic's vertical movement. Like when he falls off a cliff and is moving forward, the trail's angle is still at 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want make a Sonic trail like this? Hate to ask but how'd you get the trail to curve? Are you using particles or a sprite for it? @SuperBliz: Seeing as you couldn't get my trail to work. What actually happened with my example? Was the trail broken or didn't look good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverbounD Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 You need to calculate the trail's angle based on Player Speed and Gravity. I think you can do that like this: //creates a new trail and assigns it a handle, so you can use the handle on the most current instance at all times. _trailHandle = instance_create(global.Player1.x,global.Player1.y,objTrail); _trailHandle.image_angle = arctan2(global.Player1.Gavity,global.Player1.Speed)*180/PI; I didn't test this though, and I'm not very good with calculating angles so I make no guarantee this is correct.

Yeah well the trail started to split and there were blank spots inside the trail, it looked pretty bad.. I appreciate the fact you tried to help! (: You need to calculate the trail's angle based on Player Speed and Gravity.

Yeah no bueno man... I tested this out on the afterimage trail and the image rotates when the player is on the ground and running on a slope, but in midair it still retains its 0 degree angle.
