help for my blitz sonic engine

[r543]

i'm working on my engine(i will upload a youtube video when i added enough things) and i added a jumpdash. the problem is that i want that the jumpdash ends after some seconds and not when i release the button.

A jump dash is just a burst of speed when off the ground.

yes i know that but i'm making it more colors/advacne style with the speed that doesn't slowdonw that much but with the unleashed gravity

What's your code?

You could always try Input/Pressed/ActionA instead Input/Hold/ActionA

if i use Input/Pressed/ActionA then it doesn't show the animation because the time is too short. the code i use is this:

Function Player_Action_Jumpdash(p.tPlayer, d.tDeltaTime)
p\Jumpdashspeed = 4
p\Motion\Speed\x# = Sin(p\Animation\Direction#)*p\Jumpdashspeed
p\Motion\Speed\y# =0
p\Motion\Speed\z# = -Cos(p\Animation\Direction#)*p\Jumpdashspeed
If (Not Input\Hold\ActionB) Then
p\Action = ACTION_COMMON
PlaySound(Sound_Boostrelease)
EndIf
If (p\Motion\Ground=True) Then
p\Action = ACTION_COMMON
EndIf
End Function

EndIf

What are you trying to do here? If you aren't holding ActionB then make the action Common? If you're doing the JumpDash, and You're Pressing A, and then A again [While Jumping] then why bring Action B into it?.

i made the jumpdash on the button/action B. i will change it . If you release the mouse it changes to Action Common and Action Common changes to Action Fall.

Try replacing "If (Not Input\Hold\ActionB) Then" with "If (Input\Hold\ActionB = False) Then"
It's basically the same thing but it's worth a shot. Nothing seems wrong to your code to me.

That does the same thing. i want it like in arrows mod or bsu, the jumpdash was going forward for some seconds and then it ended. i want to know how to add a code that it ends after a time

[Gistix]

Hmmmm, use the Millisecs() code, and you will control the time that you want to he going forward

[06hypersonic60]

blah blah blah.
It's so simple: Use the delta time -.-

And I also suggest adding a Fall Action. It will really help. If I was you I would never use ACTION_COMMON to end the jump dash.


Then, Here's the best way to code it
go to the jump action and add this:

If (Input\Pressed\ActionA) Then
p\Action = ACTION_DASH
p\Motion\Speed\x#= Sin(p\Animation\Direction#)*3*Game\Deltatime\Delta
p\Motion\Speed\z# = -Cos(p\Animation\Direction#)*3*Game\Deltatime\Delta
PlaySound Sound_Dash


and make a new action and name it ACTION_DASH then add the Delta time code like this:

DashTime =DashTime+(game\deltaTime\timeCurrentFrame-Game\DeltaTime\TimePreviousFrame)
If DashTime > 500 Then p\Action = ACTION_FALL2 : DashTime = 0

If (p\Motion\Ground = True) Then p\Action = ACTION_COMMON : Fall= 0


Finally add a variable like this:

Global DashTime =0

Hope this helps ;D

action common checks if there is collision with solid things if not it changes to fall.
thanks for the help people.

..what are you doing.
1. Don't multiply p\Motion\Speed\x#|y# with deltatime. They are already multiplied by deltatime when 'applied' to Sonic (Player_Motion.bb, look up MoveEntity(p\Objects\Entity). Doing this will only mess things up.
2. Adding more unnecessary functions won't help. Never. You'll only end up having 20+ functions, of which half will be unnecessary. It'll make your code messy (IMO, at least). Thing like a jump dash can have an seperate action, however, a simple
If (Input\Pressed\ActionA) Then
p\Motion\Speed\x#= Sin(p\Animation\Direction#)*#SPEED#
p\Motion\Speed\z# = -Cos(p\Animation\Direction#)*#SPEED#
PlaySound Sound_Dash
EndIf


Is more than enough. If you want it more advanced, as in, last for a few seconds, you need to use a timer + function (Unless you want to make it unnecessarily complicated - yes, use functions if necessary). Do the following:

1. Add a Global somewhere (I usually make a Globals.bb in the _SourceCode directory), call it something like 'Timer1#'

2. Add a seperate function, not going to explain that :p

3. In ACTION_JUMP, add code like this:

If (Input\Pressed\ActionA) Then
p\Motion\Speed\x#= Sin(p\Animation\Direction#)*#SPEED#
p\Motion\Speed\z# = -Cos(p\Animation\Direction#)*#SPEED#
PlaySound Sound_Dash ;If you want to use a sound
Timer1# = MilliSecs() + #TIME#
  ;Replace #SPEED# with your speed :p
  ;Replace #TIME# with the time you want the jump dash to take, in milliseconds (1000ms = 1s, so the amount of seconds multiplied by 1000)
p\ACTION = ACTION_DASH
EndIf


This'll give you a speed boost if you hit the button again, play the sound (if you want), set of the timer, and change your action to ACTION_DASH
4. In ACTION_DASH, add the following code,


p\Motion\Speed\y# = 0 ;This'll make Sonic not go down, like in 'em gaimz
p\Motion\Speed\x#= Sin(p\Animation\Direction#)*#SPEED#
p\Motion\Speed\z# = -Cos(p\Animation\Direction#)*#SPEED#
;Will make Sonic keep going forward
If (p\Motion\Ground = True) Then p\Action = ACTION_COMMON ;If the ground is hit, end jumpdash, go back to ACTION_COMMON
If (Timer1# < MilliSecs()) Then p\Action = ACTION_COMMON ;If the Timer1# is smaller than MilliSecs(), so if it ran out, go back to ACTION_COMMON, jumpdash time is over).


Sonic will still be able to controlled while going forward in the jump dash though... If you don't want that;

5. Lock out the check-if-direction-changed. In Player_Management.bb, you have this:


Select Gameplay_Control_Mode
Case PLAYER_MODE_MOUSELOOK
MotionDirection# = p\Objects\Camera\Rotation\y#-Input\Movement_Direction#
MotionPressure#  = Input\Movement_Pressure#
Case PLAYER_MODE_ANALOG
MotionDirection# = p\Objects\Camera\Rotation\y#-Input\Movement_Direction#
MotionPressure#  = Input\Movement_Pressure#
Case PLAYER_MODE_SRB
MotionDirection# = p\Objects\Camera\Rotation\y#-90*Input\Movement_AnalogY#
MotionPressure#  = Input\Movement_Pressure#*Abs(Input\Movement_AnalogY#)
End Select


at the top. This makes it check if the direction changed. To make it not do this if Sonic's jump dashing, add an 'If p\ACTION = ACTION_DASH = False then' in front of each of 'em, like so:


Select Gameplay_Control_Mode
Case PLAYER_MODE_MOUSELOOK
If (p\Action = ACTION_DASH = False) Then
MotionDirection# = p\Objects\Camera\Rotation\y#-Input\Movement_Direction#
MotionPressure#  = Input\Movement_Pressure#
EndIf
Case PLAYER_MODE_ANALOG
If (p\Action = ACTION_DASH = False) Then
MotionDirection# = p\Objects\Camera\Rotation\y#-Input\Movement_Direction#
MotionPressure#  = Input\Movement_Pressure#
EndIf
Case PLAYER_MODE_SRB
If (p\Action = ACTION_DASH = False) Then
MotionDirection# = p\Objects\Camera\Rotation\y#-90*Input\Movement_AnalogY#
MotionPressure#  = Input\Movement_Pressure#*Abs(Input\Movement_AnalogY#)
EndIf
End Select

-

I'm pretty sure this should do the trick. I can't guarantee it though, as I did not test it out by myself, I think this should work (And I give advice more often without even opening Blitz3D, I'm not shouting stuff like I'm retarded).
~My 2 cents.

[06hypersonic60]

nice code there. and I multiplied the speed with delta time just for test and forgot to remove it. didn't change anything anyways

DashTime =DashTime+(game\deltaTime\timeCurrentFrame-Game\DeltaTime\TimePreviousFrame)
If DashTime > 500 Then p\Action = ACTION_FALL2 : DashTime = 0

If (p\Motion\Ground = True) Then p\Action = ACTION_COMMON : Fall= 0


Finally add a variable like this:

Global DashTime =0

that depends on coding a falling code to play the animation or the current anim will be played
