Set these to be always positioned reletive to the object. Next you need two counters. One called X and the other Called y Go into the event editor and here's some simple gravity Always----Set X to X of player+ Counter X Always----Set Y to Y of player+ Counter Y/5 Run this event once-----Set Y to Y of player+ Counter Y*5 Basicly you just manipulate the counter values to move the player. Here's an example of what you might try When moved right and Right detector is not on overlaping a backdrop------Set Counter X to 3 Upon not moving right-----Set Counter X to 0 That just the basics. For jumping you could do... When down detector is not over an obstacle background always-----Add 1 to counter Y (The Y axis in TGF is inversed) Upon pressing shift----set Counter Y to -20 I'm feeling a bit wella

EDIT: Oh, I forgot that TGF doesn't have the fastloop fuction in the way that MMF does... Well I'll post an MMF example anyway. Edited by the Author.

It takes time to learn to make a good custom movement but it's basically about using only events to move your character around. for instance, repeat while left is pressed - set active object 1's x relative to it's x - 1 (that would move it slowly left, change that to -2 of copy the event for faster movement) .

You can use active object alterable values. - Ok, you must admit that was the most creative cussing this site have ever seen - Make some more box arts damnit! http://create-games.com/forum_post.asp?id=285363
hishnak Registered 18/04/2004 Points 994	10th August, 2005 at 12:59:30 - Yea, I know about All that stuff guys. He is using tgf not mmf. Phizzy: If I had said alterable values someone would say "use counters" I'm feeling a bit wella
Jenswa Possibly Insane Registered 26/08/2002 Points 2723	10th August, 2005 at 14:56:00 - Perhaps someone should point out a tutorial for him? That's what should help. I did a quick search, but of course you can search for yourself. http://www.create-games.com/cs_search.asp?sar=on&q=custom+platform+movement The basic of a custom platform movement is that you try to move your character by manipulating the x and y coordinates. Like: player pressed right -> x coordinate = x coordinate + 1 player pressed left -. x coordinate = x coordinate - 1 Start with little examples like these, use a square block a character and add all the difficult stuf, like jumping later. Hope this helps you a bit. jenswa.neocities.org

To make a great platform game and have it ultimately fail because I'm using the built in one would be a shame. However, I've tried a few custom platform engine tutorials that say either "Copy my code and use it for yourself" or have step by step coding instructions, but it never seems to work for me. In the end its usually that when I direct MMF to one object it for some reason thinks I'm pointing to another one, or the movement controls are mysteriously backwards, even in the tutorial. Or the tutorial says to do something that they never mentioned in the preparation text, so I'm not sure if I should make assumptions as to what they're talking about. Some tutorials are applauded and even Clickteam awarded tutorials. But they still seem backward and just not right! The tutorial I'm currently looking off of is http://www.clickteam.info/kb/start/index.php?showtopic=315 CRUSH!!

Dave Matthew (Jester Gaming) Registered 09/07/2004 Points 148	1st September, 2005 at 11:22:37 - there is now functional difference between a counter and an alterable value anyway is it? a counter can hold a value and it is alterable right? n/a
