Repostin from last thread.

Progress on here is blendspace enabled root motions to push the enemy in any direction.

Realized I need that stuff after re-visiting Dark Messiah.

So I imported something in Unity, then moved the parts I actually cared about, and removed the imported asset leaving only the things I cared about and now the particles come out pink.
I checked all the prefabs and materials and there's nothing missing from the asset pack that I deleted but the moment I reimport it the thing suddenly works again, what gives? How do I find out what exactly is causing it, I swear I made sure to move all textures and materials and shaders that were needed.

>>166061764
lolidev did literally nothing wrong

>>166062238
Is it supposed to look like the enemy is deliberately stepping away from the hit? It doesn't look like they're getting knocked around or even like they're flinching.

Particle effects are still coming to give you more feedback on the hit.

Do people even read the OP besides to complain about it in the first place?

>>166062663
That's not going to help.

>>166062663
It's going to take more than particles, the legs should be moving after the intended hit location

>>166062663
>>166062708
To elaborate a bit, it looks like you just told the NPC's character controller or whatever to take a few steps in the direction of the force.

What the animation should convey is the NPC getting hit and staggered off balance, thus necessitating moving in that direction to not fall over.

>>166062516
first thing i thought would go great with this style would be something like haxan cloak or tim hecker

I can't keep up with all the shitty memes certain individuals on here are triggered by, so I'm not bothered by OPs pic if that is what you're getting at.

>>166062708
>>166062795
>>166063078
We'll see how much it affects the thing. Might make the animation a bit juicier at some point. It's all saved and can easily be updated. But for the moment it must suffice I'm afraid.

>>166063067
>That's pretty good, what genre are you going for?

King's Field Clone. Though it keeps drifting away from that, going more into the direction of System Shock 1.
Probably gonna sprinkle some Thief like zone and story design in there.

>>166063459
Sounds like it could be a lot of fun. Will there be an alternative to the health/mana/stam display you currently have? I am a numbersfag and if you made it so the numbers rapidly roll up or down when you gain/lose a resource that'd be awesome.

>>166063430
post more like that

>>166063430
That would certainly work at some points. This isn't too far away from Silent hill's more melodic tracks actually.

>>166063459
people like you are the reason shitposters run rampant in this thread

I'm thinking of a realistic multiplayer swordfighting game where attacks are mostly just transitions between (probably Liechtenauer or Fieri) guards. I'm not exactly sure how I would set up the control scheme for this, though. Dragging in directions, with different clicks changing how "committed" the swing is?

>>166063547
UI is completely barebones at the moment. Still waiting a bit with that, cause i wanna do it right.

You mean adding numbers to the bars? Cause that would be no problem.

>>166063693
>people that post progress and aren't bickering over trivial stuff like the OP's pic are the reason for shitposting

>>166063702

Something like this, with red being guards where the sword rests and green being paths that it takes between them.

>>166064473
You could use the mouse, the closer it is to the bottom of the screen the more defensive you are. Moving horizontally could initiate certain sweeps or strikes, or flicks vertically for thrusts/jabs and stuff like that, other moves for defensive blocks, etc.

A kind anon pointed something out in the other thread, but in the event of anyone here knowing more about how Construct 2 works.

Anyone use Construct 2?

I need help on how Local Storage works.

I'm just trying to figure out how it works in general.

I have custom controller/key mapping using global numbers and keycodes. The remapping part works fine, but I need to remap my controls every single time I relaunch the game.

I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing when it comes to local storage. I set up a save and load function, but every time I hit load, I just get back garbage.

Should I not be using global variables?

Generally less abstraction and code reuse potential. Inheritance is downright illogical and leads to brittle code. Doesn't work well with ownership, which is the only sane way to reason about mutable state and effects in general. Bad for performance because it's not cache friendly.

You're not going to get away from it if you're not an engine dev, unfortunately.

>>166068884
Based on the lack of documentation and proven track record, and its culture of open-source "solve engine bugs on your own and then maybe make a pr" are all detriments to actually making a game with it.

The problem with the old mana bars on the right where it was hard to gauge how many "shots" you had left, with the gems the player can quickly take note of how many power sword attacks they have in stock, seeing as a filled gem is animated in gameplay.

Plus I've been retooling all of the power sword attacks to use a single gem to make things less obtuse

>>166069557
We'll see, I can't promise anything but I like the idea of a trident that has some kinda spread-gun attack where the tips are shot out. Have some designs of what he might look like,

Wouldn't you just add a collision shape to the body if you wanted collision? At least that's how it works in Godot, so I assume it should be that easy in any engine.

>>166075757
So far it's storing player stats, inventory, location, and enemy types and locations. I still need to make it store what items the player has picked up.

For the majority of it, I'm using the in-memory representation of the data, and passing it through deflate.

The extra time required to compress/decompress is currently unnoticeable, but I'll keep an eye on it as I add more things.

At the moment it's only a couple of bytes smaller when compressed, but that's because I'm using a small test worldfile while working on the engine and there isn't much data for it to compress yet. I expect the difference would be bigger with a full worldfile.

I'm still learning the language so this might be a bit to jargony for me. I have inheritance and objects implemented now but it seems so messy in a big system and I'd like to use more static simple and generalized functions. But when I'm making my diagram I'm thinking how can I even do this in Lua?

I'm also a bit ignorant about static functions. I have a base units class with basic attributes and functions. If I have a destroy function, would I be able to use self even though it's a class way down the list?

>I'm also a bit ignorant about static functions.
"Static functions" (static methods) are just functions. But if a function is in a table and you call it like table:function(...), it's the same as table.function(table, ...) which is how you get method syntax.

>I have a base units class with basic attributes and functions. If I have a destroy function, would I be able to use self even though it's a class way down the list?
That's one thing you can do with metatables.

General advice: IMO the best reference for doing OOP in lua is this blogpost
https://github.com/adonaac/blog/issues/2
It's not universal (you can choose your own OOP primitives after all) but I think it's silly not to use mixins if you don't have specific performance concerns

Actual answer to your question:
you can always use self, at any time. Any method call obj:method() is exactly equivalent to obj.method(obj). This means you can do things like obj.not_a_method(a, b, obj) and this is still technically OOP because it has polymorphism and all that good stuff

3f are both in the range of 0-255 in unicode. They'd be used in base255. I think 4chan sanitizes unicode anyways, but here is an example of an ascii control character's look: tt. It's between the two t's. It's got zero width and no graphic, not even a "?".

HaxePunk went unmaintained for months while the APIs they built it on kept changing, and it was breaking more with every update. I tried HaxeFlixel and some other Haxe stuff and couldn't get any of them going for some reason. Then I tried rolling my own engine on top of OpenFL and quickly decided that was a bad idea. Then I tried switching projects and writing in C++, but C++ demoralized me to the point that I just quit game dev for a while. Later, an even nicer language than Haxe appeared, and I got back into game dev, and I've been here ever since.

Not in Lua it doesn't. And that would still just be ad hoc polymorphism (aka overloading), nothing to do with OOP.

That's nominal typing with type classes, which isn't object-oriented at all. In OOP you have to distinguish between class and type.

Python's parameter notation can be used for a sort of static typing hack, and EcmaScript 7 can be used with trademarks, which would probably make you happy. I don't like static typing in my very high-level languages though.

I don't care much about typing, but I agree that Go should have parametic polymorphism. I've had to abuse type conversion functions in some pretty ugly ways because it doesn't support it.

I just use whatever language gets the job done the easiest though.

Many such cases, it seems. Sad!

How would I use lines drawn with the mouse in Unity as inputs? Input.mousePosition seems pretty dodgy because it gives pixel inputs. I'd like to divide the screen into zones and do different actions based on which zones the line crosses, but it seems difficult to do without just using invisible colliders and raycasting it.

Being a mad man from the looks of it, but I want him to keep going because his shit looks cool.

that's some fucking wizardry right there, dude.

>>166082021
Nice seeing misinformation still being spread.

Your ego ate mine.

Is this gonna be a fangame with its own plot, or a full on recreation of Megaman Legends 1?

>>166081973
when you see someone say things like
>Not the first post from this IP.
it's just a /pol/ meme where users actually can see who made what posts, since they have IDs. On other boards, the only way to check is by looking at the number of posters indicated on the bottom right of the page, which isn't even always accurate and doesn't update properly a lot of the time.

"Sad!" is also a /pol/ meme.

It's literally from a trump rally.

that looks like 800+ (^:

>Tfw when my code is so disorganized i am re-writing it from scratch.

It's gonna be worth it right?

>>166082035
It's trumpposting, like seriously they're mimicking how that guy conducts his twitter posts

>>166082147
it's a doggy dog world.

Its going to be its own game, an homage to my favorite series. All the textures and models are temporary.
>>166081987
I felt it was a good platform to limit myself much like the PSX devs did back in the day.

>>166081842
Who are you talking to?

>>166082021
What the hell is this?

>>166082110
The hell do you know about this?

I've been here for a long enough while and none of this gibberish has ever been connected to anything resembling reality.

who's blood did you sacrifice to pull this shit off?

>>166082207
I'm doing the same right now. I botched everything together to have something playable for DD12. I have learned a lot from doing that shit and how to avoid it. Approaching it from the beginning with the knowledge of the end helps me writing much better code right now.

>none of this gibberish has ever been connected to anything resembling reality.

The archives were shut down during the investigation. Someone in here literally made bomb threats they were so upset at danny, the threats got reported, they got a visit from the cops and now they're crying about it in this thread and shaking their little fists.

It's fucking awesome to know that someone really got visits from the police for that. Legitimately thrilling and funny.

The models are all shadeless and look like 60 polygons at most, and the textures look 512x512. Most of it is repeating.

There is a YouTube tutorial for making a GM FPS somewhere.

How is his meme that impressive to you?

>>166082574
Where is your game?

>>166081870
Yo whats your twitter?

>amateur game dev general

Besides 3D game maker games are uncommon as fuck, and if he can pull this off and make it look nice and play nice, then that's a feat worth praise.

u seem like a chill guy

>>166082789

Chill enough that I don't have to threaten people's families and their lives on the internet because because my e-peen is shrinking, yeah.

Not so chill that I won't find someone if I need to and put one between his teeth while he sleeps. I make games I don't play them. Okay that was cheese.

I understand my name and bio is out there but I have to at least make a disclaimer that yes there are many of us and if you're going to fuck around make sure you get us all in one go. We settled these mountains by shooting grizzly bears in the face I'm not going to be scared of a kid who can't bench the bar mailing me his mom's makeup kit.

Fight me in real life faggot, whoever you are. AGDG can watch the video. cue spotlights and WWE music

>>166082335
I remember that thread, but it is obviously just some random anon shitposting. How would anyone know if cops gave a shit about it?

>>166082556
Okay, but you don't actually know that happened.

>>166082574
lmao I didn't use a FPS tutorial.
Poly count hardly matters on GM:S, a CPU hungry platform.
Good luck finding an FPS tutorial with animated bones and more efficient room rendering.

>>166082958
Once again, just no idea what is going on.
