Hovering Platform

[rhine]

Good Morning,

It's midnight and I should be sleeping.

In other news: I have a bit of a conumdrum for you all. My piggy can jump on a hovering platform just fine, but when it descends, he floats above it for some strange reason.

Could anyone tell me why?

Santa, the piggy and I all thank you in advance. We pray that one day our feet will touch the ground.

Ciao.

Well, since you sweeten the deal with a sandwich :D! lol, j/k, I have been gone for a while so I didn't have anytime to get on the computer, but I did write a platform tutorial that explains platforms, enemies, items, and much more. The link is here:

Hope that is of help to you!

P.S. Did you make all of the graphics on that game? They're good :).

Im pretty sure ive heard it in some game with radio signals, or emotes or something like that, because everyone were spamming it.. :)

Flashnewbi3: I just enjoy a good peppering of victorian english in my forum postings. That's all :elderly:

I re-upped the MX file here: http://www.rhine.ca/test/index_mx.fla

Hopefully this works, otherwise I'm an idiot.

Joman: Been through your entire thread at least 5 times, can't find anything that would stick in this situation. The hittest is fine and works, but it's since the platform piggy lands on is a moving platform, therein lies the rub.

Gentlemen: That sandwich is still up for grabs, what sort of fixings would you like on it if you win? Keep in mind I only have Turkey deli meat (if that's your thing).

Actually, with the code in my tutorial, You should be able to fix this problem. Just make sure you visit the right part: Limits and Ground testing.

I've been reading JoMan's article, but still a bit skepticle that what I seek is in there. I'll go back and read it again and try and tinker with my script some more.

GO-GO GADGET ACTIONSCRIPT!

its in that page, but I dont think it helps with your problem.. Been through that, can't say it could help me in this situation. Nice tutorial though for sure. I've been playing around with the _y values in Piggy's hittest as the problem seems attributed to his gravity when he isn't touching a platform.

If you can beat me to the solution, I'll make you a sandwich and a glass of chocolate milk.:cowboy:

EDIT: My latest post is two posts above this one.. something wacky is happening with Kirupa's SQL server methinks...

Ryxian A LITTLE BUGGY!? Thats just one big bug :D

[JoMan]

Well, I am feeling kinda lazy (and I just got out of a hot shower), so all that I did, was replace this:



if (_root.platform.hitTest(this._x+30, this._y+15, true)) {
if (vel_y<=1) {
fall = 0;
vel_y = 0;
jumping = false;
move = true;
}
}

with this:



for (i=1; i<50; i++) {
if (!_root.platform.hitTest(_x, _y-i, true)) {
_y -= i-3;
break;
} else if (_root.platform.hitTest(_x, _y-i, true)) {
fall = 0;
vel_y = 0;
jumping = false;
move = true;
}
}

Which is in one of my tutorials.

Honestly, I have absolutely no clue where the mouse's collision is, because the code is scattered everywhere. You might want to consider putting the code in neat, labeled functions in the frame.
