Any good tutorials on how to make a movement system? - 05/14/09 07:09
Alright, so I'm going "cold turkey" on the templates that are provided with GameStudio to make my own game that's not using the A5 templates.
I was wondering how would I code the collision and movement system.
I tried moving my character using ent_move() and when I ran the level, I pressed the walk key I've set, and it said "Crash in ent_move ....". I ditched that idea. I got another one from a pack of tutorials that I downloaded, but that one crashed and burned.
I was wondering if anyone could provide a skeleton for me to expand on.
I'm using A6 (and I know that's a old verson) but I'm sure if you did a simple movement setup (even if it's in A7 code format, I can *try to* convert it to WDL format), others (including me) may benefit from the code snippet.
What I'm looking for is just the basics: Stop, Walk, Jump/Fall, and collision detection (if there's a wall in front of the player, the player stops).
Otherwise, could you point me into a tutorial that explains the basics of movement? I remember reading a tutorial on some site that showed you how to do it, but I can't remember what site it was on.
I have checked the Wiki, and there's a movement script there but it's dodgy when I try to use it.
Many thanks,
MegaMario.
