Vertical Shoot em up.

JlmC

Hello Gamesalad Users,

I want to know how can i make that my enemies in my SHMUP move in different ways, and not only like SPACE invader.

Also, how can i stop the scrolling while I'm fighting with the BOSS?

Thank you

you'll need to provide more details of what you're trying to do. what sort of different ways?

JlmC

like coming from the top of the screen like an S movement.

To stop the scrolling, make a boolean attribute called BossFight

Then, on your scrolling background, put in a rule:

If BossFight = false
*put your scrolling stuff here*

Then, when you get to the boss fight, change an attribute on the boss - BossFight = true

That should do it.

As to different movements, you could always try 'interpolate' to move them in different patterns, or look a the wavy movement demo.

Good luck! I LOVE a good scrolling shooter

Thank you very much

Sorry if im bothering you, but, where is the self.InitX?

thank you, again

you need to create those two attributes InitX and InitY on the actor (double click teh actor and then click the + sign to add an attribute):

"two custom actor attributes of real data type.

First start by creating two attributes for the actor which represent the initial coordinates of the actor, InitX and InitY."

Thank you
