So if I ever make a thread with a question, be prepared to experience noobiness to the extreme. Anyways, in my game, I have this trampoline that is supposed to bounce my character. My question is how do you make the character bounce once it lands on the trampoline? Thanks guys! ---------- Need the help! xP

You could set a value in the object to, for example, -10 when the player hits the spring, and add this event: + Alterable Value A of Player is below 0 -> Set Y of Player to Y(Player) - Alterable Value A of Player -> Add 1 to Alterable Value A of Player This is a bit of a shaky way to do things, though. I don't know if you want to get into writing fully event-driven custom platform movements for a small beginner's project, but there's a tutorial on the Clickteam page - http://www.clickteam.com/eng/learning_resources.php Actually, now I come to think of it, you could be using the Platform Movement Object instead, which makes things a lot easier in many ways. How are you moving the player normally? http://www.davidn.co.nr - Games, music, living in America

Make a 'custom engine'. What i mean by that is use the event editor to move your character around. It takes some time but it's quite easy really. .
RedSpades Registered 18/01/2007 Points 19	23rd January, 2007 at 20:52:02 - Okay, so I have to turn it off by changing Platform to Static? And how do I start making a custom engine? Like where do I need to go to get started making one? ---------- Need the help! xP
RedSpades Registered 18/01/2007 Points 19	23rd January, 2007 at 21:20:59 - Lol I see it is too much to explain. Don't worry, I'll get some help from friends at school. They seem to know more about this stuff and they MIGHT know how to do it. Thanks for everyone's help! ---------- Need the help! xP

Sticks and stones can break your bones, but words can get you shot.

David Newton (DavidN) Invisible Registered 27/10/2002 Points 8322	24th January, 2007 at 09:21:16 - That's probably the best option - it's quick and easy (once you get past the insane backdrop collision event it needs) and much better than the standard platform movement. http://www.davidn.co.nr - Games, music, living in America
RedSpades Registered 18/01/2007 Points 19	24th January, 2007 at 15:14:28 - ::I am not sure but what about the platform extension with the bonus pack Cool, so how do I get this bonus pack? Is there a place here or at Click's website that contains that bonus pack? ::Sorry, but I really doubt that the people at your school know as much as all of the brillian people here Though they might be able to help you better, since you can work with them in person. You were right. lol, my friends and even the most knowledgeable kid in our class doesn't even know how to do it. ---------- Need the help! xP

RedSpades Registered 18/01/2007 Points 19	24th January, 2007 at 15:32:01 - Alright then. I'll stick with the default platform engine and maybe in my future games, I'll learn more about making custom engines, etc. Thanks for all your help, guys! Really appreciated it. =] ---------- Need the help! xP
