Trying to figure out Soosiz2

quinn221

Hey Guys,

I am playing around with a Deep Blue Apps template. It is called Soosiz2. I am a bit stumped on how you would add extra elements (score..etc) on the non (HUD) scrollable layer. When I do this they rotate with the camera. Anyone every play around with this template.

They need to be in the same layer group as the HUD.

I tried that, still nothing. It is really odd how it is set up. I am guessing it is that way due to all the camera rotations.

@DeepBlueAppz do you have any insite on this? I can not figure out how you did it.

If there is already HUD elements in the game, you might need to look at their 'constrain behaviours'. My guess is that for its X and Y positions, it is going to have a equation.
Thats what you might need to add for every new element to the HUD.
Just a suggestion.

Their is a hud built in for the buttons. (left right and jump) The buttons alpha is set to 0, but they use a graphic overlay for the buttons that are positioned over the buttons.

The buttons have a change attribute ( self.positionY to self.Position.Y + game.UBoffset )

Also the graphic overlay size is 1024 x 786 and code is as follows

Constrain attribute Self.rotation to - scene.Camera.Rotation

I can add extra items to the hud by adding the extra graphics to the overlay onto of the new items.

However, here is where my problem comes in.

Lets say I want to add in a actor that displays my score..... and I create and actor with the same logic. But a soon as I put the alpha to 1 the actor will not stay in place. it rotates with the screen when the main actor moves. This only happens when I make the alpha 1.

stumped...
