Blitz sonic arcus

[06hypersonic60]

make a global to load the sprite then hide it:

global Locker = LoadSprite("interface\locker.png")
HideEntity Locker

then simply in the object update function
If EntityDistance(o\Entity,p\Objects\Entity)<50 Then
ShowEntity locker :  PositionEntity locker , EntityX#(o\entity),   EntityY#(o\entity), EntityZ#(o\entity)
locker,2,2
end if

and finally use : HideEntity locker after the collision code so the sprite hides when u collide with object.

P.S: Use the code that EBD gave me ( look at pick nearest object thread in helps ) to make this peace of code work better.
Once u have that code set-up, change o\Entity with no\entity since on\entity means : nearestObject\Entity

k got you

[3DSawnikku]

And btw do I put
global Locker = LoadSprite("interface\locker.png")
HideEntity Locker

in Game_resources_textures.bb? or models.bb?

[06hypersonic60]

whereever you want.
globals can be put everywhere except functions and loops

Update:
Now, objects appear again when you die.
Flying Enemies appear a while after destroying them like gens and SU.
Added ring loss ( like in sonic dash )
added more object to be able to add in-game (obj placement)
added a debug mode. tells you your X,Y,Z position.

How are you handling the re-spawn of objects? Are you deleting the remaining objects, and then reloading all of them? (That's what we did in Freerunner when you select a new stage - everything gets deleted and reloaded) Or did you make a flag that tells the object that it has been killed, and when Sonic dies it resets them all to alive? I think the ladder would be more efficient, I'm just curious how you programmed yours.

Wait, now the locker is too small,any way to scale it?

[3DSawnikku]

nvm i found out,I used ScaleSprite.

Well
Simply added a variable ( global ) that tells that the object is destroyed.
this variable is named : objDestroyed and it's set to false. If it's True then HideEntity o\Entity
else show the entity
when sonic jumps or homes on the object that flag = true. When you die it resets to false. so the obejct appears again

I'm guessing it also has a string that asks if sonic is with in range, and if he isn't, it'll reappear? THAT'S BRILLIANT!

new update:
look at the picture



this is not arcus. It's a test engine. I add stuff to it. when I think they look good, I copy them into Arcus. That way, Arcus's source code will be safe.

Also: changed the redy go sound, and added to others. The game now plays a randome sound each time you die or start the game.

[3DSawnikku]

Pretty Good. ;D and how did you do that?

[06hypersonic60]

well simply added pictures and made them move by changeing they'r X and Y with a timer
which means I use a variable that has the image X and a variable for the Y and set a timer to make the variables number change

[06hypersonic60]

Added a Speed bar like in unleashed

[3DSawnikku]

i added that but it got anoyying at first.So i ahad to remove it.
