Not that I dislike being on a progress streak but I should really try to get a real life sometimes.

Who am I kidding? Back to coding.

>>127233424
i did try this, but it doesn't work for some reason. the object keeps respawning every time i reenter the room.

>>127233701
Make a persistent list, and each enemy can correspond to a spot on the list. Then each spot can contain a condition like alive or dead. Then when you reload, you can destroy all the dead ones (or put dead bodies or ghosts or something).

>>127231335
>>127230714
Or you could just put a public repo on github like a normal person

>>127233424
figured it out. i just had to make the room persistent as well as the object.

Will making a text-based game teach me anything important about games or should I just skip to Pong/Breakout?

y=3-3*(x/10)

>>127235419
Find the slope, then shift the graph according to one of the points.
You have the points (0,3) and (10,0), so you know the slope will be -10/3.
-10/3 * 0 is 0, so you need to add 3 to make it match that point.
So your equation is -(10/3)*x+3

>>127235419

Eh, like I said, it was on and off, with the vast majority of it off. I started during summer of last year, then got a job, moved, and finally settled in before restarting. Its probably all of less than a handful of actual coding sessions right now, but the majority of it was enginedev shit, making sure things are in order to be expandable. I haven't even touched the idea of gameplay yet.

Not them, but bullet sponge enemies can be fun if the weapon you're using is satisfying to fire, and the hits are rewarding, and you're just as spongy. Think Borderlands 2 when firing that legendary hyperion smg (I think it was called the 'B!tch', and there were some variations to it too) at one of the tougher enemies. It's wildly inaccurate the first 2 or 3 shots, but then after that you see the weapon rapidly increase it's efficiency to pinpoint accuracy. It would be wasted (and unsatisfying) if the enemies only went down in 1 or 2 shots. Plus I liked that tapping sound it makes whenever it fires. Then you got the numbers popping out on hit, and it's just an overall fun weapon.

Where they fucked up is when they started giving enemies regenerating health and damage resistance in the harder difficulties, then it just feels like you're wasting ammo and should be using a better weapon.

If you can make it fun, do it. I think that's what matters.

guys, making a strategy game is hard

if I wanted to make strategy game that is similar to some other strategy game out there, i would at least have something for reference

but every single strategy game is using(or is centered around) the single thing that I want to avoid - units

>>127240405
Chess is pretty shit. It's not a game of skill or improvisation, it's a game of memory.

>>127240140
What do you want to do instead of making a strategy game with units?

>>127239835
>muh special snowflake
Why is it always the special snowflakes that say this?

So you're saying games should be 100% unique? Right, like music should be 100% unique too, right? Or television? Or books?

The difference is that one set of mechanics is fun, and the other is not. I'd rather someone copy a fun mechanic than a shitty one. You're telling me you'd rather play any of the Flappy bird clones over something like Freedom Planet? There's no difference there? Or maybe it's just because you prefer shitty games. Nothing wrong with that, more power to you.

>>127240140
So your strategy game will be all around developing technologies, do some diplomacy then wait for the simulation kick in for you?
Seems boring

>>127240607
It's only that way because it's been around for so long.

The same will happen to any videogame that is around and competitively played long enough, and it has plenty of times before.

Should I start making a text based RPG by making all the mechanics first in a console application, and then adding it to a UI? Or does it not really matter either way?

>>127240013
It's too watered down. I never looked at the manual but I could perform all these silly combos that pissed my friends off, and all I did was mash buttons. literally you can do an air combo as long as you change the direction you hit and go a step up higher in how heavy the attack is. I don't even play fighting games either, so it was more hilarious because my friends were the street fighter enthusiasts and they had more time practicing mvc3 before I even started playing.

I kind of agree, but I think that's only because the games that are played by speedrunners are games that are either very simple or manageable (ex: you can recover from errors in judging physics)

I don't think it's impossible for a video game to become more than a game of memory in the long term, given enough complexity
The problem is, the more complex it is, the less interesting it becomes for the player

So I've run into a small issue, don't know how to solve it. I have X assets (in this case, meshes) in a folder which I want to at runtime assign to various spots in a blueprint. I can't figure out how to "get" these things from the content browser. Any ideas?

In other words:
Blueprint has 7 empty Static Mesh components. When the game starts, I want the blueprint to search in a specific folder for meshes, and then pick one out of them to use. How do I get it to search for meshes in a folder?

>>127244004
Create an array of the static mesh actors and manually assign the meshes. It's inefficient to search for files at runtime if you can just reference them.

>>127244665
The thing is, I want to have an arbitrary amount of files in that folder, so manually assigning them would only work if I have X and no more than X files (and then add any additional ones every time I add more to the folder).

If I can't find a solution, though, will use that method.

>>127244926
Yes, it's because it's loading so much enterprise goodness.

I still prefer it over monodevelop because it was better at formatting code and autocompletion, but maybe that's changed since I last compared them which was like 2 years ago.

Stupid question but hear me out
In Unity, say you have an animation that plays when you press a button (with a SetTrigger).
How would you prevent the animation from playing again and again if the player keeps pressing the button while the animation is still playing?

The Webm quality is pretty forgiving ;) but yes, it's purely GM.

>>127244926
Try downgrading from 2015 to 2012. That was my problem. 2015 is the one that took forever, but 2012 is still faster than monodevelop, at least for me.

I had an idea to make a game that was some kind of city manager/builder but the units would be other player characters who would receive updates on tasks from someone who would be randomly selected or voted to be the manager/overseer/mayor whatever.

one player manager per six or so player 'workers' to each 'faction or team, and two or three of those factions per map. so you could also have players sent to antagonize other teams or something it was gonna be either medieval castles, or fantasy (3.5 dnd-esque), or like backyard kids cardboard imagination rule the playground or w/e.

Not that guy, but that's basically the same as saying "Programming isn't hard, just write the function you want."

Blueprint is pretty simplistic, but you really have to know what you're doing with it in order to make anything worthwhile. You also need to know how to subsidize your blueprints with C++ code. If you do everything in blueprints it'll get super messy.

In my experience, blueprints are best used for simple scripts and materials since it lets you visualize what you're actually doing to the material in real time. C++ should be used for anything with mechanical depth. The problem is, you end up with people like that guy who think they can do everything in blueprints and you end up with an inefficient mess like >>127249730 is saying.

A very easy jumping off point for OpenGL is https://open.gl/, but you'll probably want to fill it in with the OpenGL red book as it isn't very indepth.

BUT I don't think your complaint about VS is very valid, you can edit the files in any editor you want. You only need VS to build and I think there might even be a command line tool included for doing that, or you can write batch scripts to compile and link using the VS toolchain.
