(4.5.6) MoveToPlayer Monster Movement Speed

[5kids2feed]

As you can see with the original code, it will go anywhere the cursor is.. that's what i'm looking to achieve. It just moves like an iceberg.

 

[CluckFox]

Almost! Better than it was! Moves up, down, left, right, and diagonal which is great.. but doesn't move every single angle on diagonal like original code. Thanks so much for putting so much effort into it though. Is there a way to get it to move all angles instead of simple angles?

I know what you mean, thank you for the visual. I'm finding it quite challenging myself. I'll keep working on it though!

Appreciate it! Turns out everything I think is simple to do.. turns out to be a hiccup like this

Try changing the projectile's End Animation to Repeat and End Action to Null. I'm curious if that would cause the projectiles to readjust themselves quickly mid flight?

 

[5kids2feed]

Oh they will change in mid flight but I don’t want them to. It’s a knife being thrown and I only want it going one direction if possible.

Which base module are you using? The modules do different things with aimed (MoveTowardsPlayer) physics. I'm getting lots of help and instruction on the matter on Discord now.

 

[5kids2feed]

You’re going above and beyond! You’re the man! The base I started with is the arcade platformer non scrolling one.

 

[CluckFox]

Kasumi on Discord patiently explained everything I wanted to know about Aimed Physics. The end result is that, it seems, the doHandlePhysics.asm script for Arcade Platformer doesn't have the same capabilities as some other modules. I think I can transplant the relevant part and provide an updated physics script, but again, I want to test this on my own first.

 

[5kids2feed]

You’re so awesome for going through all of this trouble for me. I would’ve been lost. But makes sense all at the same time the way you’re explaining it. Crossing my fingers!

 

[5kids2feed]

Before I forget! I had to edit my dohandlephysics so I could get certain things going up and down again. Here's mine if it helps:

How's this look? It's using a modified physics script with your original AI script. The projectiles in this video can go even faster, the max speed slider is at 129 here.

I see the image on both posts! That's exactly what i'm looking for! CluckFox! You are a genius! You're getting a big ol' special thanks in the credits!

 

[CluckFox]

Here's a link to the code. It will self-destruct after 24 hours. I do not deserve any kind of credit. Kasumi pointed out the obvious to me and I just did a little copy-paste surgery on the Arcade Platormer physics. Enjoy!

PERFECT! One major problem solved. On to the next! You rule.

 

[9Panzer]

Any chance we can get this code posted again? I've been fighting with this one sinces December

 

[5kids2feed]

I’ll post my doHandlePhysics asm for you today too. Seems like you were having a bunch of the same problems, I did!

 

[9Panzer]

@5kids2feed absolutely was having the same problem. A move to player AI would be excellent to get working!
