Hello, I am very new with TGF and I'm using a 30 day trial. I cant get the real thing cuz I live in the middle of the freakin ocean ( Azores ). And I was wondering if you could give me some help.
I am trying to make a Quidditch game... BUT... I can't maque the quaffle fall down and bonce till its on the ground, can't make the snitch fly away from my character and can't make the bludgers start homing at me. could you please help me?
I would also like to know how to make cool magic efects trailing the four balls.
If you can't answer everything in this forum, E-Mail me at shadow15@portugalmail.pt
THANX

hmm...
for those who haven't read the Harry Potter books, you could explain all those wizard terms, so everyone understands what you need. Fortunatly i've read the books so i can help you:
1.the quaffle every 00:10
-add 1 to value A of (Quaffle)
always
-set Y position of (Quaffle) to Y position of (quaffle)+ Value A of (quaffle)
That should make it fall. And then to make it bounce:
have a counter with the initial value of 10(or something like that, try finding something that suits you)
(Quaffle)collides with backdrop (the ground)
-Set value A of (quaffle)to 0-(counter)
-subtract 1 to (counter)
that will make it bounce when it hits the ground. If 10 is a too high value you could decrease it if you want. It's all up to you. And add this too, so it won't go through the ground when stopped.
(counter)is 0
+quaffle is overlaping backdrop
-stop (quaffle)
-set value A of (quaffle)to 0
that should do it.
2.the snitch
a very simple way to make it evade the player is simply to make it always look away from the player.
always
-make (snitch) look in direction of (player)
-set direction of (snitch) to direction of (snitch)+16
3.the Bludgers
it's a bit like the snitch, you just delete the last thing with the +16 thing:
Always
-make (bludger) look in direction of (player)
The magic effects... buh, there's many ways to do that. It depends completely on what you want. I'm not very good at graphics, so you'll have to ask someone else. I'm sure someone can help you out.
All this is very simple, there are many better ways to give them better AI/movements, but as you're using TGF for your first time, i think this is complicated enough.
My advice to you would be to buy the real thing, there has to be some way you can get your hands on it .
Thanks Guys for the encouraging and help
I just got MMF 1.5
You think I should get extencions?
What are they for?
HEy I'm getting prety well with the game.
Anyway, I need some more help:
The quaffle falls and the rest of the balls do their stuff but.
I don't know how to make My chaser grab the ball.
I though it might be by making the Ball and the Chaser stick toguether but I don't know how to do that!! :\
Some help would be nice
And by the way
I'm putting the names of whoever helps me, in the credits
YOU DESERV IT!!
GO DC!!!!!!!!

Extensions basically either make coding easier for you or help you to achieve things that you cannot do in MMF.
You should just get extensions that you think you'll need, but MMF 1.5 gives you plenty of useful extensions.
For the chaser grabbing the ball I would insert a group of events called like Chaser holding ball and make it disabled at start. Then activate the group when the Chaser is overlapping ball. The group should have inside it like Always set x and y coordinates of ball to this relative to chaser. Then have another condition saying like upon pressing (the key to throw the ball or pass or whatever) disable the group of events.
That should do it.
how come you couldn't get TGF but you just got MMF? 30 days wouldn't had been enough. I takes me months to make good games. Anyway, welcome to the world of klik!
It's a multiplayer, Player 1 v.s. Player 2 BUT. When I test the game if I try to move the player one The player two moves at the same time.
I've already changed to p1 to move chaser one and p2 to move chaser two but still they both move at the sme time!
What do I do?
THANX
You guys are sooooooo cool in helping me!

I can't find the Game properties!!
Where do I find it?
In file? in Edit? Where?
AND HOW, cuz I can't find it anywhere!
THANX
Everything is going fine, Now I don't know how to make the player throw the ball! It always falls down!
Another thing is: I am going to make the hoops. Do you think I should maque the pole a backdrop and the ring an active object? I thought it would work, tell me what you think!
THANX
