Good Morning!
I `m trying to set before the cannon another actor constrained but it feel very ugly. What is your opinion?

Thank you very much
I`m testing some values, and that what i have share is the best movement i have found it, but i`m sure is another way to do it better and save memory or something...

Thank you for share your opinion.

    What do you mean by "feel very ugly?" It looks ok. But the easiest way to do it is to make a rotation:
    real attribute and when touch is pressed constrain > vectorToAngle (mouseX-cannonX,mouseY-cannonY)

    Hmmm, let me test it.
    I`m trying to do it same as angry birds, but this time with a cannon.

    aaa.... I didn't understand... I think that it's better to buy complete angry birds template than make it yourself. There are many of them... I found this one in 10 seconds:

    I`m testing some values for the camera.
    Sometimes return to scene origin x and y, and another times makes a zoom whenever he want.
    I dont know whats about camera. Its stupid .
    Constraining finally solves, this is my best friend ^^

    Thank you very much for your answered.
    I know that template, and its cool, but i want to try something different.
    I have it working, but got 30fps and i think i have to search for a best way.
    I have alot of thinks working, in about 2 weeks i can end my own game, but want to do the thinks on the correct way, and in this moment dont like what i have show you.
    Thank you anyway for answers.

    I have to do a poll to decide the name, "ufo survival" (lol its one at app store!!!) "ufo strikes" "somethings angry" "planet survival"...

    I`m changing alot of values and no one like it....
    Anyone have a better idea without buying a template?
  • mrpacogpmrpacogp Member Posts: 400
    On this thread i have to assume this template is from one scammer or something

    Still working on this about to end, but dont like the system...

    Maybe this can be a good idea, work but what do you think?
    Attrib for cannon = distanfrommouse
    Constrain distancefrommouse = mouseposx-cannonselfx

    Create rule if distanfrommouse>10 and <100 you can shoot, otherwise not.

    Do the same for Y

    Its a way to do it better? maybe using rotation of cannon around mouse position?
