Moving Platforms

[Archangel]

I'm using 4 of them joined together like so. That way it looks like a single combo, since it glitches if you try to use a single 32x32 combo.

Define 'glitches'.

Note that a large FFC uses the surrounding tiles, not combos.

Big moving ffcs: Incorrect render. Renders only one tile, not the entire combo.
Big animated wide ffcs: Incorrect animation.

About the animation, you have to keep in mind about the tiles thing. You need to put the tiles in the animation order, and then use the Skip X option to do the animation. I'll put together an example tonight when I get home.

It works well for me.

And it probably works great for the creator also.

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)

Make sure your changers have the same TileWidth/Height and EffectWidth/Height settings. This is important, because any FFC that gets changed will inherit those settings!

Big animated wide ffcs: Incorrect animation.

Here's how you have to layout your tiles:



Note that they're all side-by-side.

And, here's how you lay out the combos:



Note there's only one combo for the whole FFC. Let's take a closer look at that combo, hmm?



Ah, there! A.Skip X! Use that so the animation will jump from tile 0 to tile 2 to tile 4, etc, thus giving you the proper animation.

Yeah, don't do that.
And use diagonal movement.

[Archangel]

Yeah, don't do that.
And use diagonal movement.

<_< I hate diagonal movement... It is so buggy. Is there anyway to get this to work without diagonal movement?

[Joe123]

It's not buggy.
