(trash, do not read) - mrpin355 - 03-31-2018

While this thread is active.

I got a issue dealing with Wiggler's body parts, and I seriously want help, the fact that I tried many methods but it won't work and "Developer Discussion" is the least active thread of this site.

The problem is that whenever it instantly moves horizontally 8 pixels, specifically, shifting itself while on the slopes it jumps *number depending how steep the slopes is* pixels up,
I know why that happens, but I need a better method that solves this problem.

Here is a screenshot visually portraying it:

Wiggler is flashing

Thanks.

Some more information would help in diagnosing the issue. What kind of collision checking are you using?

I use collision_rectangle for these situations.

Please post your codes here using

RE: Wiggler's body parts on slopes - mrpin355 - 04-02-2018

Before reading the code, It's a modified Hello's Wiggler object.
I might hear I should make my own.

Stun code

Code:
   //Stop body parts

   for (i=0; i<maxpart; i++) {

       //Affect parts animation

       with (part[i]) {

           //Freeze

           image_speed = 0;

           hspeed = 0;

           //Stop turn sequence

           timerstart = 0;

           //Snap the parts

           x = behind.x-offset*xscale;

           //Turn him into a "accordion"!

           offset = 3;

       }

Slope logic

Code:
//Embed into the slope to ensure correct slope mechanics

if (collision_rectangle(bbox_left,bbox_bottom,bbox_right,bbox_bottom+4,obj_slopeparent,1,0))

and (!collision_rectangle(bbox_left,bbox_bottom-4,bbox_right,bbox_bottom-4,obj_slopeparent,1,0))

and (vspeed = 0)

   y += 4;

///Handle slope collisions

if (collision_rectangle(bbox_left,bbox_bottom-4,bbox_right,bbox_bottom,obj_slopeparent,1,0))

&& (!collision_rectangle(bbox_left,bbox_bottom-8,bbox_right,bbox_bottom-8,obj_slopeparent,1,0)) {

   //Stay embed on the slope.

   while collision_rectangle(bbox_left,bbox_bottom-4,bbox_right,bbox_bottom,obj_slopeparent,1,0)

       y--;

}

When spawned

Code:
//Create anatomy

part[0] = instance_create(x,y,obj_wiggler_body) {

   part[0].image_index = 0;

   part[0].depth = -1

   part[0].parent = id;

   part[0].behind = other.id; //Snaps to the head

}

part[1] = instance_create(x,y,obj_wiggler_body) {

   part[1].image_index = 1;

   part[1].depth = 0

   part[1].behind = part[0];//Snaps to the previous body and so on.

   part[1].parent = id; 

}

part[2] = instance_create(x,y,obj_wiggler_body) {

   part[2].image_index = 2;

   part[2].depth = 1

   part[2].behind = part[1];

   part[2].parent = id;

}

part[3] = instance_create(x,y,obj_wiggler_body) {

   part[3].image_index = 3;

   part[3].depth = 2

   part[3].behind = part[2];

   part[3].parent = id;

}

If you need more, let me know.

Anyone here?

RE: Wiggler's body parts on slopes - Hyper - 04-07-2018

Comment out this in the stun code:

Code:
x = behind.x-offset*xscale;

It makes the body part snap to it's assigned behind body parts.
Functions purpose is when it's stunned or when it makes a turn.
'offset' means the width of the body.

RE: Wiggler's body parts on slopes - Hyper - 04-07-2018

You intended to make the Wiggler to shorten itself when hit, however the y position is not set during the processes. I would recommend to do this:

Instead of:

Code:
//Snap the parts

x = behind.x-offset*xscale;

//Turn him into a "accordion"!

offset = 3;

Do this

Code:
//Turn him into a "accordion"!

offset = 3;

//Snap the parts

x = behind.x-offset*xscale;

if (collision_rectangle(bbox_left,bbox_bottom-4,bbox_right,bbox_bottom,obj_slopeparent,1,0))

{

   do

   {

       y--;

   }

   until !(collision_rectangle(bbox_left,bbox_bottom-4,bbox_right,bbox_bottom-1,obj_slopeparent,1,0))

}

else

{

   do

   {

       y++;

   }

   until (collision_rectangle(bbox_left,bbox_bottom-4,bbox_right,bbox_bottom,obj_slopeparent,1,0))

}

Thanks, but for some reason GameMaker reads it as 'Unexpected symbol'.

RE: Wiggler's body parts on slopes - Hyper - 04-07-2018

Are you using Game Maker 8, Studio, or Studio 2? Is there a reference that points out the unexpected code error?

I'm using Studio 1.4 and it doesn't point out why.

RE: Wiggler's body parts on slopes - Hyper - 04-07-2018

Let's see if this helps:

Change this:

Code:
until !(collision_rectangle(bbox_left,bbox_bottom-4,bbox_right,bbox_bottom-1,obj_slopeparent,1,0))

To this:

Code:
until (!collision_rectangle(bbox_left,bbox_bottom-4,bbox_right,bbox_bottom-1,obj_slopeparent,1,0))

until (!collision_rectangle(bbox_left,bbox_bottom-4,bbox_right,bbox_bottom-1,obj_slopeparent,1,0))

Unfortunately, it still doesn't work.
I recommend you test it before you publish the code.
If you want, I could PM and give you the object and diagnose it.

RE: Wiggler's body parts on slopes - Hyper - 04-08-2018

I am currently using Game Maker: Studio 1.4.1804. I have tested out the code without any issues:

Some older version of Game Maker Studio may have issues like this, please update the game engine and see if that helps.

My end of result:

I'm using 1.4.1804 as well.
Wtf is going on?
Like, did I accidentally do a minor change?

RE: Wiggler's body parts on slopes - Hyper - 04-08-2018

Clear its compiler cache and restart the program would be a typical solution in most cases.

N/A

Sorry for annoying you, but this time the problem is fixed!

Thanks for helping!
Topic disclosed.

for now...

RE: Wiggler's body parts on slopes - Hyper - 04-08-2018

Since I am not able to DM you (Error message: Existant has private messaging disabled. You cannot send private messages to this user.), I'll just post an alternative solution here:

Code:
if (collision_rectangle(bbox_left,bbox_bottom-4,bbox_right,bbox_bottom,obj_slopeparent,1,0))

{

  do

  {

      y--;

  }

  until !(collision_rectangle(bbox_left,bbox_bottom-4,bbox_right,bbox_bottom-1,obj_slopeparent,1,0))

}

else if (collision_rectangle(bbox_left,bbox_bottom+1,bbox_right,other.bbox_bottom+32,obj_slopeparent,1,0))

{

  do

  {

      y++;

  }

  until (collision_rectangle(bbox_left,bbox_bottom-4,bbox_right,bbox_bottom,obj_slopeparent,1,0))

}

And this time it worked!
Thanks for your big help!
I was trying to fix that problem like in 2 months!
