What might my problem be? I would be happy for answers // Toxie' n/a

Yes, that's true. But it also makes the hero stop when his head touches obstacle from below. This is what im trying to prevent. Btw, thx for answer. n/a

I would definitely suggest that you look into making a custom platform movement. It might be a little hard to get exactly how you want it, but it will pay off in the long run. -- "Del Duio has received 0 trophies. Click here to see them all."

AndyUK Mascot Maniac Registered 01/08/2002 Points 14586	18th November, 2007 at 14:56:07 - the problem is with the built in movement. that is with why most people move onto custom movements. .
erghhhhx Registered 15/11/2007 Points 311	18th November, 2007 at 19:45:43 - Thank you for your answers, everyone. EDIT: Ehum.. Another noob-question: How do I use the PMO? How do i get started after choosing the properties for the platformer? Edited by the Author. n/a

erghhhhx Registered 15/11/2007 Points 311	19th November, 2007 at 06:59:36 - Thanks people, i got it now. n/a
erghhhhx Registered 15/11/2007 Points 311	21st November, 2007 at 09:01:48 - Ergh, one more thing... Why can't I use ladders with the PMO? Is there some special way..? n/a
markno2 Registered 06/06/2006 Points 865	21st November, 2007 at 21:46:41 - From the documentation: Ladders can be done in many different ways, too. The simplest way is probably to test if the selected object overlaps with the ladder object, and the user is pressing the up key, then set additional Y velocity to -100 or another negative value, also set the maximum Y velocity to 0. Set additional Y velocity to 0 when the user is not pressing the up key, and set the maximum Y velocity to it's default value again. Also do the same when pressing down on a ladder. Discarded pizza boxes are an indispensable source of cheese.
~Zigzag~ Registered 13/03/2007 Points 292	22nd November, 2007 at 02:04:57 - I made a jump pad with that as well. http://www.SilverNova.co.uk
erghhhhx Registered 15/11/2007 Points 311	22nd November, 2007 at 07:43:21 - So the ladder must be an active object? Thanks for answer. n/a
viva/volt Awesome Sauce Registered 26/08/2006 Points 1694	23rd November, 2007 at 06:57:22 - One correction on ZigZag's code, X object is jumping needs to have X object is falling too . http://bfollington.tumblr.com
erghhhhx Registered 15/11/2007 Points 311	23rd November, 2007 at 08:56:10 - I've got problems with getting the animations to work. When I stop, the "hero" keeps the walkanimation. How to.?. http://imageposter.com/uploads/get/99168 <-- Screenshot Edited by the Author. n/a
markno2 Registered 06/06/2006 Points 865	23rd November, 2007 at 09:04:20 - I'm not sure but I believe that "active is stopped" only works when you're using a default movement. Change the code to something like this: Negate: User is holding right direction Negate: User is holding left direction Object overlapping obstacle ---> Change animation to stopped. Discarded pizza boxes are an indispensable source of cheese.
erghhhhx Registered 15/11/2007 Points 311	23rd November, 2007 at 11:13:37 - Thanks, it works fine. n/a
~Zigzag~ Registered 13/03/2007 Points 292	23rd November, 2007 at 17:34:52 - Oops... http://www.SilverNova.co.uk
erghhhhx Registered 15/11/2007 Points 311	25th November, 2007 at 07:30:24 - Argh.. is it not possible to make an active objekt an obstacle when using the PMO? n/a
Hempuli Crazy? Registered 09/01/2005 Points 7968	25th November, 2007 at 14:07:08 - Yes, set -Test for obstacle overlap +(hero) collides with (activeobject) -> Selected object overlaps as obstacle. No sig for you.
erghhhhx Registered 15/11/2007 Points 311	25th November, 2007 at 17:48:20 - Hrm, ok it worked. Another thing... When i save the game as an application, non of the sound/music is in it.?. n/a
~Zigzag~ Registered 13/03/2007 Points 292	25th November, 2007 at 18:10:34 - Make the music external, that always works better for me. http://www.SilverNova.co.uk
erghhhhx Registered 15/11/2007 Points 311	25th November, 2007 at 18:17:28 - 1. What does that mean? 2. It seems I can only use "play sample"-function, and not "play music". So I have to loop my wav-musicfiles as samples? n/a
DaVince This fool just HAD to have a custom rating Registered 04/09/2004 Points 7998	26th November, 2007 at 03:34:11 - 1. External means "not internal". It won't be packed in the final mfa or exe, but rather as a seperate file. 2. "Play sample" handles digital music in MMF2, like OGG music. Use "play music" for MIDIs only. 3. Yeah, you should then loop that specific "sample". 4. DO NOT USE WAV. Convert them to OGG or something, it makes the files (and your game's file size) so much smaller and MMF2 supports them natively.

erghhhhx Registered 15/11/2007 Points 311	26th November, 2007 at 10:06:53 - Well, the music aint midi and I won't ruin it by converting. But about ogg's, how do I convert my wavs? n/a
AndyUK Mascot Maniac Registered 01/08/2002 Points 14586	26th November, 2007 at 10:20:03 - Using Goldwave. Which has a rather lengthy free trial. If your music wont play after making it an application you might have forgotten to add sound 'filters' look in properties. .
erghhhhx Registered 15/11/2007 Points 311	27th November, 2007 at 13:27:32 - Hrgmm.. Perhaps I should make a new thread for this.. But ! I'm trying to get the level-passwords to work, I've tried both the built-in password option in the menu and to make a "rich edit object", but i can't get it to work. :/ Any ideas? n/a
DaVince This fool just HAD to have a custom rating Registered 04/09/2004 Points 7998	27th November, 2007 at 14:42:10 - Using a simple edit box or similar, you can compare the content to a string containing a password, and jump to a frame when that happened. Old member (~2004-2007).

Joe.H Evil Faker Registered 19/08/2002 Points 3305	28th November, 2007 at 19:46:33 - If i remember rightly, MMF goes from 0 (opaque) to 128 (Transparent) or maybe they changed it to 100.. I havent done it for ages. For semi transparancy, anywhere between 40 (for light coloured objects) and 60 (for darker objects) would probably suffice My signature is never too big!!!
Klikmaster Master of all things Klik Registered 08/07/2002 Points 2599	29th November, 2007 at 04:05:23 - Yeah, it's still 0 to 128 n/a

Deleted User	4th December, 2007 at 03:37:35 - You have to 'unlock all' in the object menu or something.
