Diagonal Springs in Sonic Dash(GM8)

[FastFlash]

Ok, so i tried adding diagonal springs in the Sonic Dash+ engine in Game maker 8, but it works as a regular up spring, and I have no ideia why...

 

 

Here's my diagonal spring code:

 

 

 

  case consSpringOrientationDiagonalLeft:

                if (scrPlayerCollisionRightObject(global.GravityAngle, 1, _ObjectHandle) && Gravity >= 0 && Speed >= 0) {

                    Speed   = -_ObjectHandle.SpringStrength;

                    sound_stop(sndSpring);

                    sound_play(sndSpring);

                }

                break;

 

 

 

Any help would be apreciated!

Does it tell the player object to do horizontal movement?

No, it didn't but i updated the code to tell the player to do horizontal movement and it still won't work:  

 

PS: the second line(the one with the scripts) is all in the same line

 

 

 

case consSpringOrientationDiagonalLeft:

                if (scrPlayerCollisionRightObject(global.GravityAngle, 1, _ObjectHandle) && Speed >= 0) and (scrPlayerCollisionBottomObject(global.GravityAngle, 1, _ObjectHandle) && Gravity >= 0) {

                    Speed   = -_ObjectHandle.SpringStrength;

                    Gravity = -_ObjectHandle.SpringStrength;

                    Ground  = false;

                    Action  = consActionSpring;

                    sound_stop(sndSpring);

                    sound_play(sndSpring);

                    break;

Try removing all of that and just adding

hspeed += 10

vspeed -= 10

And tell me what happens. But put whatever the players object name (dot) hspeed and that good stuff. Please report back with your findings.

It gives a weird affect. the player moves diagonally down slowly, like he was in the moon or something, but doesnt goes up

Hmmmm. I haven't touched the Sonic Dash+ engine so I can't exactly figure this out but is there a horizontal and a vertical spring code / script if so merge the two and see what results you get.

 I already did.The second code I posted was a "fusion" of the two codes, when I do that Sonic just acts as if it were a vertical up spring

Try this:

Speed = cos( degtorad(spring.direction))*_ObjectHandle.SpringStrength
Gravity = sin( degtorad(spring.direction))*_ObjectHandle.SpringStrength

You'll have to set the direction in each individual spring object depending on your implementation, but this code should move the player in the desired direction. This can be used for all springs, so I would recommend putting this into a script so your code look cleaner.

Gives me this error:

I tried changing spring.direction to objSpringParent.direction but it gives me this:

Try changing to Sonic.direction I think it's because you're assigning the Spring a direction? Which does. Again don't know much about Dash but I think thats why.

Still doesn't work, maybe Sonic Dash uses a diferent direction system? I heard somewhere it uses a custom colision code, so maybe it uses a custom direction code too?

[Light The Hedgehog]

Most Game Maker things use custom movement variables and such, so if you can find Sonic movement variables then we could work with that. Most of the time it's Xsp or Vsp or vsp and such.

 You missunderstood, I meant the collision code is rewrited from scratch, it's totally diferent from Game maker's collision code

Is direction no longer a default variable for objects (like x, y, etc.) in GML? I haven't programmed in it for a few years now. Anyways, the fix for this error is simply declaring the variable (its quite obvious btw). I really expected you to copy the idea, not the actual code lol.

I've seted the direction in the spring's creation code,  same error
