[WME] Randt vs Wintermute

Finally, I tried to learn to use Wintermute because I read WME is more powerful than AGS. But, although I put WME in Spanish and I was reading the manual, my face was some like...

Then, I garthered my courage and patient...

...and I continued trying it...

...but...

...and I felt like...

And finally... zzZZZz

So I dismissed WME by now.

 Maybe, I'll try it in a future... when I will be tired with AGS and GM ^^'.

Brooklyn Bridge

I wasn't death *teehee*, I was only working in this background and besides I'm having a lot of problems with Game Maker and the game story x.x"
Well, almost here I have: my first bacground in pixel art~ ☆‿☆*
It's New York, in fact, Brooklyn bridge.

 

[GM] Scale Script

This morning I created a "scale script". It'll allow me scale sprites automatically in each room without long codes (as I had put before). This script have to be put in a step event, obviously.

In my case, the "street 1 room", the script is the next one:

[GM] AI and depth problems fixed~

As I told in that post [link] I had problems with AI and depth.

Well, I couldn't resolve why the alarm doesn't work so I tried other solution... but it didn't work too. I wanted throw the pc out the window but then my dear daddy reminded me I used an "create even" instead of "step event"... so basic problem! *sigh*

The new AI code are:

• Create even:

• The piece of code:

• Alarm 0:  set horizontal speed = -walk_speed.

• Step Event:

I add a "space button". The button appear when Petros is under attack and if you press "space", the battle'll end. The code is:

• Create Event: a piece of code: counter = 0.

• Step Even:

 

On the other hand, the depth problems was truly easy to solved:

But to programme in GM is like watch Lost TV serie... I resolve a problem and then I have two new problems *sigh* OTL Now, my problem is "Space button" doesn't work correctly because counter = 1 go to counter = 4 directly and I don't understand why ;__;.

Petros' sprites

Finally, I finished Petros' basic sprites. Altought I need some more sprites for the Petros at Law's "first level": some more complex movements, two enemies and their atacks T.T *sob sob*.

 

[GM] My first AI

I'm happy and proud because I did my first AI ★‿★! and I did it without help~ (for now...U teehee).

However, I have problems with the easiest function, lol.

I have basically two problems:

• I tried to script a "automatic depth" (according to "y edge") but objets superimpose badly yet :S
• I need two men follow to player, atack him and, when his life was 0, leave the room. I got "follow" and "atack" actions but I didn't get to "reduce life to 0" :S And sometimes (mainly when I put only a man on the room), men do odd movements and try "run away" (I programmed a coward AI, lol).
