3 Things I need help with!

TeheRJ · April 2011

1.
I was wonder if there is a way to do this:
A ball goes up to the sky infinitely, how do I make the background seemlessly transition itself from a blue sky to outer space?

2.
After the ball is in space, how do I spawn random astroids in the game and you change the settings very fluently?

3.
The ball has fuel at 100% and decreases slowly until 0.
I want it so that the max value is 100 and the game ends at 0.

Thanks in advance!

1. I'd draw the background to "transition" itself from the sky to outer space.

2. Create an actor that spawns actors that look like asteroids, not sure what you mean by "change the settings very fluently?"

3. I'd interpolate the fuel as a game.attribute. It will slowly go down over time (Interpolate: game.fuel from 100 to 0 over 120 seconds, etc.)

1. When I input a large picture file, GameSalad ask me to "Resize it" even though I don't want to.

2. I want the actors to spawn randomly on the screen and you can change how much asteroids are on the screen at once.

3. Can you give me full direct direction?

TeheRJ,
Welcome to GameSalad and the forums. Please have a look over these great resources and you should learn enough so that you can answer most of your questions.

The image size issue you are having is that GameSalad only allows a max 1024x1024 image. If your image is larger than that then you will have to create two images and place actors with those images.

Also please read through the rules and Guidelines sticky. its easy to miss so heres that link as well.

GameSalad CookBook -
GameSalad Wiki -
GameSalad Forum Rules and Guidelines -

Also open up GameSalad and click the new tab. Then up in the search box try searching for the types of things you are trying to do. there is a chance someone has made a demo of that very function and you can download the project and pick it apart. There is also a list of really good demos here in this thread. you can play them online but if you want to download them you need to search in the new tab for the name of the demo you have opened on the site.

I hope you enjoy using GameSalad and make something great.
