What do you mean by "playing an animation backwards"?. If you mean rewind time, that's not simple. If you just want to literally play the animation in reverse, just have a second animation with reverse keyframes to the original animation.

>>188073015
I want to play the animation in reverse, yes.

>just have a second animation with reverse keyframes to the original animation.
I already did this. I made another state in the animator which was just a copy of the actual animation, and just set the speed to -1. But how do I trigger this? I can make a transition to this in the animator, but then it just plays backwards, when the first animation state is finished. However I want it to play backwards, when I stop pressing the button which triggered the actual animation playing normal.

>>188073371
Just start playing the reverse animation when OnKeyUp is called then?

Seems like a basic programming issue if the animation works and plays properly.

So in unity, how do you make melee with hitboxes not pass through enemies without detecting collision? Is the only way to raycast between delta positions?

>>188072996
Anon, you learn about complex numbers a bit at the end of every algebra 1 class in middle school.

>>188073686
>Just start playing the reverse animation when OnKeyUp is called then?
And how do I write this? I already searched for this too but couldnt find anything.

I am also not even sure if you actually can write something OnKeyUp for actual GetAxis directions. The animation I use is actually a movement animation.

I think he means the steps to get what you're trying to do.

-press axis backward
-player moves backwards

I assume its something like that, right? Its easier to help if we know what you're trying to do.

Set the hitboxes to kinematic.

>>188074808
Change the texture on the face every 3 seconds for 0.5 seconds.
You could add random deviation to these values also.

>>188073972
Are you sure you're not in way over your head if you're seriously asking how to track a simple state?

if(key moving forward is down)
{
if(last animation != whatever animation you want to play)
{
play animation you want to play()
last animation = animation;
}
}
else if(key moving backwards is down)
{
if(last animation != whatever animation you want to play)
{
play animation you want to play()
last animation = animation;
}
}

>>188075351
I think they might be using an axis not a key, which still isn't difficult, but might be confusing if you've never used one.
At least they used the word "axis"

>>188073694
>>188074169
>>188074860
Honestly I think it's fine if some weapons hit multiple enemies, especially if they're large weapons. It adds to that feeling of power.
Also you could just remove the hitbox as soon as it hits one enemy, I don't see how that could cause issues.

Progress:
+a nice starfield effect
+unit pathfinding respect pausing, you can pause and reassign another destination freely
+lifebar for units, they can loose health but death isn't implemented yet
+major optimization, i'm using a lookup table for cells, no need for looping through every room and cell to test if unit is inside it
also learned that i can override class functions and make them notify objects (lifebar) when called without updating it every frame which is also an improvement, i need to use setgets more.
getting some fresh air and resting once in a while does help with solving problems, it was a comfy day
still postponing systems and power management until i figure out a way that isn't hacky

Scale the eyes in the Y axis then.

>>188074808
You make your faces with stretched primitives, right? Just add the eyes to a bone, and change that bones vertical scale in an animation.

Play the animation every N seconds, randomized.

>>188075697
It's not a problem of multiple hits but of no hits at all.
If you only check on that specific instance of the frame, there's a chance the collider will skip right passed an enemy if it is moving fast enough or should intersect a small area of them.

>>188074860
MORE raycasts

>>188075351

I have written this to start the animation

private Animator anim;


// Use this for initialization
void Start () {

anim = GetComponent<Animator> ();
anim.speed = 0f;
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {

if (Input.GetButton ("Fire1"))
{
anim.speed = 1f;
}
if (Input.GetButtonUp ("Fire1"))
{
anim.speed = -1f;
}

}
}

It's either gay furries or gay interracial. It's probably both

>>188077543
When people make modular assets like that they make them exactly to specific dimensions. So if you place a 500x100 unit wall and turn on 100 unit snapping, everything after that will line up perfectly as long as they come in units of 100.

There's also Rama's vertex snapping plugin if you want to go that route.

>>188078097

>>188078303
Every function is wrapped in a bool function hasSucceeded, return false on errors.

So much samefagging, every fucking time.
It's embarrassing

>>188078287
>>188078303
Yeah, that's what I said, is that it's very useful in a lot of situations. He just said that it's "not as useful as proper error handling" then left. So I guess he just preferes try/catch blocks everywhere instead if if(!null) statements.

>>188078303
Exceptions, errno, sentinel values.

>>188078097

He's probably going to tell you to abandon pointers next. Don't listen to that faggot, use null, use pointers, don't be afraid to use try/catch blocks and you'll be fine. "rules" like that are usually bullshit spewed by incompetent babies that can't think ahead and write good code.

>>188075764
Nice progress. Setget is useful, signals and groups are great too if you haven't looked into those yet.

>>188077971
Thank you very much.

>>188078097
Null is only a problem when anything could be null. Even if you never use it yourself except in documented cases where you really must have the option to have nothing, anybody else's code could produce it. So it ends up being easier to always assume anything could be null at any time, and then you waste code and run time on checking for it.

Option types are much more sane.

>>188078624
What if I'm working in a dynamic duck-typed language?

either the "model" is just a bunch of primitives stacked on top of each other in Unity.

>>188078821
At least in such an environment option types would automate the checking (but limit it to where it's needed) and give you better error messages.

>>188078916

BB gun is implemented. I had some trouble switching the pellets to be bouncy physics objects that didn't push the player around, but I figured it out in the end. Also, the player doesn't get locked into "aiming" with the torso until you fire, so you get to see the entire strafe/backpedal animation, rather than just the leg portion.

>>188083360
Are you talking about the player flashing or the enemy flashing? The enemies already flash to unlit white. The player's blinking is intentional - it signals your invulnerable period after being hit. Maybe I'm misunderstanding?

Yes, I mean the player. The flashing to signal invulnerability is good, but disappearing looks bad, especially since the shadows fade in and out. If you flash to white instead of blinking in and out of existance, the player is still solid

Hm, I guess I see your point, although the disappearing shadow doesn't bother me as much. Might try to find a way to render the material as transparent but still cast a shadow, but flashing white to signal invulnerability is a bit weird, in my opinion.

I do need to add the gun to the renderer list that gets disabled - normally the gun doesn't show up unless you're aiming, but the BB gun has a bug that makes it stay in your hand unless you aren't aiming -or- shooting, although I kind of like it that way since it allows you to see the full strafe/backpedal animations

How would you know that? Maybe they have terrible lives? Having money is not everything, not having it is.

We know Notch is a sad human being since he got rich.

Anyone have some killer extension methods they use all the time? Just cooking up some of my own now, wish I had known about them earlier.

Here's a quick distance check one to avoid a square root:
public static bool InRange(this Transform transform, Transform target, float range)
{
return (transform.position - target.position).sqrMagnitude <= range * range;
}

public static bool InRange(this Transform transform, Vector3 target, float range)

}

Ideally, you'd be rich and have privacy. winning big on a fucking fluke sounds perfect for that. Y'know if it ever actually had the chance to happen. But the worse thing I could imagine is turning out like Phil Fish or going full retard and become the Jake Paul of gaming.

I can't understand what a basic failure in fundamental statistics would lead someone to think that the success of Notch, Toby Fox, etc. are somehow the expected result of their gamedev efforts, rather than extreme outliers.

was Notch happy before he got rich?

To me it seems that he's a very focused individual and he was just occupied making the biggest game out there.

After the initial success he got married to someone inside the minecraft community and that marriage lasted a year.
He also seems like someone who hung out solely with his coworkers most of the time if that even.

His press release from selling the company basically said he was making it purely for fun with no direction and getting filthy rich and the expectations that go along with it was an annoyance at best and affected his 'sanity'

after which ofcourse he moved to California and figured he'd just buy some ridiculous mansion for the sake of it and go party all the time.
And his partying basically amounted to people who wanted to take selfies with that minecraft guy and him getting known as the guy that just spent lots of money.

What do you think these >>188086253 people are up to?

They are or atleast truly believe they are out there changing the world for the better.
It's probably the only way you can justify your success and not be overcome with impostor syndrome.
You could say being born into R/R is like winning the lottery but I'd imagine they are raised to own up to their respective name.

What Notch did was like winning the lottery, and those people if not already miserable usually end up miserable.
Because there was no end game or vision behind their success, it was just throwing the lure out there to see if they'd get a bite.

i want to achieve an effect similar to the video at the bottom of this post (tl;dr shrinking triangles), but it appears that because of shitty mobile exports holding back all other ones you can only get the coordinates of one vertex at a time in attribute vec4 in_Position.
all the shader examples i could quickly find seem to only do interesting stuff in the fragment shader, while vertex shader is pretty much always the same thing

Happened to me recently. Worst part was getting to see the the stuff 16 years old me saved to that hdd, a lot of cringe was had.

>>188091779
I usually use a separate collision layer, as I might have hundreds of decorative tiles whereas the collision layer only needs a few. Up to you really. You could also link certain tile indexes to automatically create collision tiles on your collision layer. This is handy for autotile elements. You'll figure out what works best for you.

>>188091779
separating graphical representation from logic and collision is always a good thing, it means that you can use tiles or one big image and it won't matter

>trying to compare your game to luck-driven breakout successes
The point of multiplayer being in the realm of AAA is that for one, they have the resources to focus on multiplayer without (and they get this wrong all the fucking time) screwing up the single player. For another, they have the marketing budget to get an active playerbase into it so it won't basically be wasted. These guys just got lucky, that's why they can get away with multiplayer. Your game will probably never see as many units sold.

Also RoR's multiplayer SUCKS.

>>188100754
Skullgirls and Melty Blood have better netcodes than most of the AAA fighting games.

>>188101089
What you're missing is that if your multiplayer is just a co-op version of your single-player, then you don't need AAA resources because the game isn't reliant on having a community. People will buy it just to play with their friends.
Both of those games have dogshit netcode and yet they both sold well partially because of their multiplayer component, because you can play them with your friends.

Bigger sprites definitely look better and I can get a lot of additional detail there, but they will definitely kill my soul too. Maybe I need to find a middle ground between both sizes.

>>188102082
I was more referring to the battle system.
Would you play a 10-15 hour long JRPG with action battles in that style?

>>188102363

the sprites remind me a bit of Castlevania enemies

anyway regarding fighting games the early karate champ/kung fu style games tried to sell purely the gameplay and weren't very succesful. Take from that what you will.

Later fighting games are almost entirely focused on characters necessitating bigger sprites to communicate their anime-esque personality through clear-cut designs and distinct animations.


>Thanks. Something like this maybe, maybe the screen could be a little bit smaller so the characters look bigger.

I think your sprite res is approaching the minimum to convey any, let's say more sophisticated idea but I think you can be creative and make it work.

>on a separate note regarding character design if I can be so intrusive.

The golden ratio can be inferred in pretty much in any artistic endeavour if you look hard enough and character design is no different.

Most popular designs follow ratios (proportions, colors, clothing and sometimes even personalities and convictions) by the rectangles displayed for example.
SF2 Ryu
>1st: White Gi
>2nd: Exposed skin/Body
>3rd: Red Headband
>4th: Brown Hair, Gloves, Belt
later designs refined due to Ryu's iconic red headband
>1st:White Gi
>2nd: Exposed skin/Body
>3rd: Red Headband and Gloves
>4th: Black Hair and Belt
Often explained as 3 part designs or something similar, and as you can see there are 3 'main' rectangles and 1 that gets subdivided infinitely into smaller rectangles as the spiral gets narrower.

Now taking your character you sort of visually interpret it as 2 blobs, the brown blob identifies as the body and the grey blob as the pants.
the ratios almost match up, I would suggest shortening the pants a just a tiny little bit if possible but to the main point.

This is a very long winded way of saying you should probably make his eyes glow and/or give him some accessory armor, sash or something to make the character stand out more

I thought those were pigs until I read the filename.

>>188102421
I know, people asked for a 1:1 screenshot, but obviously you would be able to change the resolution of the game at will.

>>188102432
I love Castlevania sprites so that makes me happy. I see your point on the need of bigger sprites (and >>188102679 reinforces the idea) and the point of adding something else to the design. Seems I will have to rethink a lot of stuff.

Nah, I'd have to come up with a new one because I don't want to have my other internet ventures to be associated with it.

perhaps a week before demo day was the wrong time to get a new kitty

she keeps interjecting bits of code and I don't know where she learned c# but it's not working

>>188103706
I don't understand why people don't just have a username and act like a normal person while using that username. It's not that hard. Then you only need to worry about making a throwaway name if you wanted to draw furry porn or something.

>>188103974
Sounds like you haven't been on the internet long enough.

>>188104083
I've been using the same username since 2000.
