Can I do this in Game Salad

sandman

Hi,
I'm new to game salad, but I have seen great games created with the engine.
I was wondering if I can use game salad to create a game where users can draw lines (like harbor master/flight control)?
The game I have in mind, the users will draw lines that will act as nets to prevent NPCs from falling. Can this be done ?

Thank you for your assistance and good luck with your games

Yeah you would just have to check out some of the drawing demos floating around and then make your line actors collide-able with what ever you are trying to catch

sandman

Thanks for the Feedback. Can you assist me by providing some links

Hi @sandman, @tenrdrmer probably won't check this thread unless you put the @ in front of his username. When you do that to somebody's name, they get an email notification saying that you "mentioned" them in one of your comments. The email has the link of the thread, and bam, they can help you again

As @jcmcgraw mentioned I would have never seen your question without tagging me. You'll just have to open up game salad creator and search for "drawing" under new. I don't have one of the demos downloaded and no idea if the thing will show up in the search any more. Cheers

Search for ORBZ after opening GameSalad and clicking New.

@sandman i used a line template for my game deflection: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/deflection/id519413860?mt=8 which you can download free today. Check it out and see what the line template and gamesalad can do... i think the game you are trying to make can be possible..

and if you want any help then just email me at barkingapps@gmail.com

Hi man..I downloaded the game...awesome!! Cool logo by the way

Yeah this what I'm trying to do..The problem I'm having is I don't have any templates in windows gamesalad and can't open any of the demos floating around...

I've been stuck for two days since I downloaded the app, trying to figure out how to constrain my actor to the mouse movement ~X(
because I don't know what to write..Is it (self.x.position or actor1.position.x or actor 1...etc...)

Do you know where I can find the rules for the expressions (ie. game.mouse.x.position, etc...)
I know this is objective c...but I can't find the tutorials on how to write these...

Do I make any sense ??
