Moving Platforms

[Archangel]

I was wondering if someone could make an aquamentus that breathes fire.

Edit: I also need moving platforms that are 16x16 combos that carry link around the screen. I'm using changers by the way. :googly:

Um, subject line and topic divergance?

Fixed... Smack to the face.

ffc script Platform{
	void run(){
	int counterx; int countery;
		while(true){
			if(Abs(Link->X-(this->X+8*(this->TileWidth-1))) <= 8*this->TileWidth
			&& Abs(Link->Y-(this->Y+8*(this->TileHeight-1))) <= 8*this->TileHeight){
				Link->X += move(this->Vx,counterx);
				Link->Y += move(this->Vy,countery);
				counterx = (counterx+1)%(100/factors100(Abs(this->Vx)));
				countery = (countery+1)%(100/factors100(Abs(this->Vy)));
			}
		Waitframe();
		}
	}
	int move(int s,int c){
		int as = Abs(s);
		int ret;
		if(as < 1){
			if(c < as*100/factors100(as)) ret = 1;
			else ret = 0;
		}else if(as < 2){
			if(c < (as-1)*100/factors100(as-1)) ret = 2;
			else ret = 1;
		}
		if(s < 0) ret = -ret;
		return ret;
	}
	int factors100(int s){
		for(int i=50;i>0;i--) if((s*100)%i == 0) return i;
	}
}

How do you set this script up using your pit script?

[Joe123]

Move the 'Falling' boolean from the pit script outside of the script, and put a line inside the if in the while loop in this script that says 'Falling = false;'.

Ah , very simple.

Thanks =)

Yeah, I mean it's not perfect but I'd say it's acceptable.
I'm quite proud of it though, took some thinking up.

There's a slight problem with the script. It only moves link if he's facing the same direction as the platforms path of movement. Is it possible to correct this?

Confirmed. Although I haven't done any extensive testing, I ran into the same problem when writing my own version of this script.

I think it has something to do with Link's NES style movement code. It resists moving him in certain ways via script. But, when I enabled Diagonal Movement, suddenly it worked properly.

(I then ran into an issue with a platform moving at a fractional speed, but Link's position not storing decimals! I think Link's position should include the fraction, even if it's truncated for the purpose of determining his position)
