The WIP topic, part 2

this could be a slick idea if you pull it off right

Hey, I could use that tileset.

The one I ripped from another's complete overworld M&L map for SMCR isn't nearly as good as this one.

Also I think maybe you should keep a list of all the global and local variables for each object and detail what they're for.

It might help. You never know.

Too familiar to me! XD

I guess you could use it, don't credit me credit...mason? or the person that mason credited for the tileset, since all I did was add stuff and edited that pipe into the hill xD.
Also,the variable/globals I have it just like you mentioned
global.havesword=0//Global to check if you got the first sword
and then on and on.
So far it saves and loads the rupees,rupee wallet,hearts, heart containers,heart pieces,position of link and the room you were in when you saved.
I need to make it save and load all the other variables.

I've pretty much changed all the graphics to SMW, minus a few.

It all works surprisingly well.

Also EDGE, those seem like comments in code, I meant like in a Notepad document.

someone should make a WAY WAY HARD game from UM engine

like the asshole mario, smw hack

Yes, and I don't want to put it in the notepad because I could just check to the right side of the code to see what it is...instead of opening another document/file and check one to then edit the codes...

Photobucket was down, so I'm using this Picoodle garbage.

HAY GUYZ M I DOING IT RITE? (kinda largish)

Some things are just too hard to get rid of...

Too bad I haven't actually gotten any work done in like, a year.

let me tell you, programming a sprite to act like a 3d model is hard

learn to use masks

Hi thar

That's what I was planning on doing

not what I meant, seeing as the code to make my enemies look like enimies in 3D looks something like this:

Step Event:
if direction is smaller than 45
if direction is larger than -45
set variable sprite_index to sprite29
else
if direction is smaller than 325
if direction is larger than 225
set variable sprite_index to sprite25
else
if direction is smaller than 225
if direction is larger than 135
set variable sprite_index to sprite26
else
if direction is smaller than 135
if direction is larger than 45
set variable sprite_index to sprite24
COMMENT: Patrol control
if point_distance(x,y,Link.x,Link.y) is larger than 64
if path_index is not equal to path1
perform a step towards position (x,y) with speed 0 avoiding solid only
else
if hit is not equal to 1
end the path
perform a step towards position (Link.x,Link.y) with speed 3 avoiding solid only

Begin Step Event:
COMMENT: 2d-3d calculations
if point_direction(x,y,Link.x,Link.y) is smaller than 45
if point_direction(x,y,Link.x,Link.y) is larger than -45
set variable fpsarmorsprite to 1
else
if point_direction(x,y,Link.x,Link.y) is smaller than 325
if point_direction(x,y,Link.x,Link.y) is larger than 225
set variable fpsarmorsprite to 2
else
if point_direction(x,y,Link.x,Link.y) is smaller than 225
if point_direction(x,y,Link.x,Link.y) is larger than 134
set variable fpsarmorsprite to 3
else
if point_direction(x,y,Link.x,Link.y) is smaller than 135
if point_direction(x,y,Link.x,Link.y) is larger than 45
set variable fpsarmorsprite to 4
Draw Event:
if fpsarmorsprite is equal to 1
if sprite_index is equal to sprite24
set variable spritecontrols to sprite26
else
if sprite_index is equal to sprite25
set variable spritecontrols to sprite29
else
if sprite_index is equal to sprite26
set variable sprite_index to sprite25
else
if sprite_index is equal to sprite29
set variable spritecontrols to sprite24
else
if fpsarmorsprite is equal to 2
if sprite_index is equal to sprite24
set variable spritecontrols to sprite25
else
if sprite_index is equal to sprite25
set variable spritecontrols to sprite24

if sprite_index is equal to sprite26
set variable sprite_index to sprite26

if sprite_index is equal to sprite29
set variable spritecontrols to sprite29

if fpsarmorsprite is equal to 3
if sprite_index is equal to sprite24
set variable spritecontrols to sprite29

if sprite_index is equal to sprite25
set variable spritecontrols to sprite29
else
if sprite_index is equal to sprite26
set variable sprite_index to sprite24
else
if sprite_index is equal to sprite29
set variable spritecontrols to sprite25
else
if fpsarmorsprite is equal to 4
if sprite_index is equal to sprite24
set variable spritecontrols to sprite24
else
if sprite_index is equal to sprite25
set variable spritecontrols to sprite25
else
if sprite_index is equal to sprite26
set variable sprite_index to sprite26
else
if sprite_index is equal to sprite29
set variable spritecontrols to sprite29
if global.bow is not equal to 1
execute code:

draw_sprite_ext(sprite_index,image_index,x,y,image_xscale,image_yscale,image_ang
le,c_white,1)

else
execute code:

{
zrotative = point_direction(x,y,Link.x,Link.y)
d3d_transform_set_identity();
d3d_transform_add_rotation_x(90);
d3d_transform_add_rotation_y(180);
d3d_transform_add_rotation_z(zrotative+90);
d3d_transform_add_translation(x,y,0);
draw_sprite(spritecontrols,image_index,0,0);
d3d_transform_set_identity();
}

btw this will save you pain in the long run:

it's 315, not 325

how so, 280 + 45 = 325

i don't know what you're doing, but if you're using common trig values, it's 270

seems like a cool idea though

MFGG Subliminal 3.2

I keep on screwing up terribly.
First time, viruses
Second time, viruses
Third time, I have no ****ing idea.

I'm using values based on direction, 0 = right 90 = down 180 = left 270 = up and everything inbetween being various angles, it's not triginometry at all if it were anything I'd say it were basic Geometry, the script calculates the direction between the enemy and the player and based on many mathmatical equations using that value determines how to draw the sprite, in top down mode if the solider is moving down it draws the down sprite, in FPS mode (using the bow) if Link is to the left of it, the code makes the sprite appear the left side, the result being this:



if I were to remove the code the result would be the solider staying in the side view sprite when the game went into FPS mode, the code basically teaches the game how to make sprites display like they were 3D models


PS, if anyone making a 3D game takes this code and doesn't give credit I will kill them in there sleep, it took me 2 hours to get it working

technically it is trig

what was confusing me is where you were getting 280 and 325 from, since your other values were ok (except for that one instance of 134)
