Support / Question about Camera Overrides/Letterboxing

« on: March 31, 2014, 10:53:54 pm »

Hi all!

This is the scenario I wish to achieve:
I want the game to be in its native aspect ratio (4:3) no matter what!
I want this to be achieved by letterboxing. For instance, if I am playing my 4:3 game on a 16:9 wide monitor, I want there to be black space on both sides of the screen, preserving the AR.
If the screen is narrower than 4:3, I want there to be black space on the bottom and top of the screen, preserving the AR.

This should be simple, right?
Any ideas, hit me up.

Thank you all SO much!

Support / 2D Pixel-Particle Effect

« on: November 26, 2013, 02:46:05 pm »

Hello beloved 2DTK community!

I wish to achieve a particle or pseudo-particle effect where, when the player is hit, a portion of the red in his health bar "explodes" and falls of the map in a barrage of small-to-medium sized pixels.

What would you advise as being the best way to achieve such effect?
Particles? Pseudo-particles? Physics? My own written system?

Thanks in advance!

Support / Tween tk2dSprite color with iTween

« on: October 16, 2013, 05:29:42 pm »

Does anybody know specifically how to tween the color of a tk2dSprite using iTween?
There is a method called colorTo(), but that only changes the color of a texture or GUITexture.
Is there a way? Seems like it's pretty easy, and I'm just missing something.
Thanks!!

Showcase / Mages and Rogues - ChainJam2013

Hey!

So, this is my first real game that I've finished.
I made it for http://chainjam.com/. (a 72-hour event)
It's a simple deathmatch game.



You can find it here:

Support / Loading a different tilemap at runtime from .tmx?

« on: October 06, 2013, 05:14:04 am »

Hi. I'll keep it short.

tk2dTilemap question:
Say I have..20 .TMX files. I want to load one of them when I open a scene.
So, one scene, multiple TMX files.
IS there a way to load a TMX file at runtime?

If so, do explain

Thank you.

Support / Joystick Rotation Problem

« on: August 25, 2013, 03:43:45 am »

This code should make the player rotate (he's on the XY plane) according to joystick movements.

Just straight up, what's wrong with this code? (not to be cliche or anything)

Code: [Select]

    private void joystickMovementUpdate() {
       direction = new Vector3(Input.GetAxis ("Right Joystick Horizontal"), Input.GetAxis ("Right Joystick Vertical"), 0);
 
       horizontalAxis = Input.GetAxis ("Left Joystick Horizontal");
       verticalAxis = Input.GetAxis ("Left Joystick Vertical");
 
       if (direction.sqrMagnitude > 0.1f) {
         qTo = Quaternion.LookRotation(direction);
         qTo.eulerAngles = new Vector3(0, 180, qTo.eulerAngles.z);
       }
 
       transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(0, 180, transform.eulerAngles.z);
       transform.rotation = Quaternion.RotateTowards(transform.rotation, qTo, ROTATION_SPEED * Time.smoothDeltaTime);
       move ();
    }

Support / Character Rotate to Face Mouse

« on: August 24, 2013, 03:17:08 am »

I used to have my game on the XZ plane, now I'm changing it to the XY plane.
Can anybody explain why this code doesn't work on the XY plane?

Code: [Select]

private void keyboardMovementUpdate()  {
horizontalAxis = Input.GetAxis ("Keyboard Horizontal");
verticalAxis = Input.GetAxis ("Keyboard Vertical");

Vector3 targetPoint = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint (Input.mousePosition);
transform.LookAt (new Vector3(targetPoint.x, targetPoint.y, transform.position.z));
// transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(0, 180, transform.eulerAngles.z); This line "locks" the character in his X and Y rotation.

move ();
}
Uncommenting that line makes the character jump out of rotation, commenting it makes him not move... hmm.

Okay, I fixed that, but now every tile returns as an ID of -1.
I'm going to just use this thread from now on:

Trying to implement this. I get this every frame:

I'm trying to find someone else's solution that is viable. It is my understanding that I have to convert the tilemap to a format friendly with A * or something?

Can any of you fine folks explain to me how I can get Simple A * Pathfinding to work with 2DTK tilemaps?

I feel like it shouldn't be this difficult...

:/

Thanks!
