ok everyone sorry for asking so many questions.

anyway i'm thinking about making a platform/adventure game third person. something like super mario 64 or crash bandicoot, third person view.

What script would i use for thrid person view.

aand how do i make my character jump, is there a script for that. jumping over holes and such.


any help?

Hi Jermaine

I'm working on a platformer type project as well. Unfortunately the template code does not serve platformer gameplay well. Gnometech is helping me with some custom platformer code for my game, which we'll put up for the community at some point, but it's not going to be ready for a while.

There are some alternatives:

check out the 'ninja' jump/run/climb code in AUM issue number 56, or look for Axysphenomenon's code which he has put up..

best wishes

its says there is a code archive some where but i cant find it.
can u tell me where its at?

nvm i got it

in all of those example or levels in the aum56
i get a crash in player error that and i can run it.

am i the only person getting thiserror or am i soppose to modify somethin

What is the error?

We can't help you fix the error if we don't know what it is!

crash in player: distance_to_ground = c_trace(myxtemp..

and so on so has anyone seen this error, how do i fix it,

it's probably supposed to be:

c_trace(my.x, temp.x ...);

You'll have to go change that line in the code. Next time give the full error. Every word is important!

Well I'm not sure about the whole code , but the A5 Templates (which I still use) have the player walk fight action , which includes a third person camera and jumping , and works pretty good , as u can always edit the template to fit ur needs , it's a good starting place , though for total control U do have to always make ur own code , but if ur not a programmer , then u can definately use the templates in the meantime for walking/running/jumping and the like. People here will tell u that the A5 templates are old and outdated , but i still prefer them over the A6 ones , I have A6 6.31 version and they seem to work fine for me.

thanks i'm not a good coder in "lite-c" i just code in c#.

But i will look into that template though.
