New to Fuse4-want a Faery Tale Adventure like game
-
I have it worked out now not to show the red screen Message but instead display on the message window that the character has died. Also the “Luck” variable gets decremented by 5. If it reaches 0, it goes into a “Game Over” loop. Also the character gets moved onto the land back to normal as long as his Luck hasn’t run out.
Next thing to work on is the Msg[0-5] array so that if Msg[5] gets displayed on the bottom row, the old Msg[5] now becomes Msg[4] so that the messages scroll up each time a new message gets displayed.

i cant wait to play this so well thought out
-
@waldron Do people share works in progress or wait till there finished? I don’t mind sharing as perhaps users could provide better ways to do things.

@tdg8934 bit of both really same with doing things a better way others might find what youv done the better way, plus other ideas you can incorporate into your program before its to late to implement although you seem to have it all pretty much all thought out.
-
@tdg8934 just tried running the game but stuck on the character select screen, i am using in handheld mode though.got it running now
-
@waldron Oh sorry it’s not handheld driven yet. Opening screen selects character with zl and weapon with zr and either l or r buttons to start the game. Let me know what you think of this Work In Progress
-
@waldron so I’m assuming when I share it and get the ID code, it gets copied on the Fuze server or somewhere.
-
Yep. All the sharing goes through the servers, even friend sharing. That means they’re backed up somewhere if you ever drop your switch in the sea or something :)

In reference:
Next thing to work on is the Msg[0-5] array so that if Msg[5] gets displayed on the bottom row, the old Msg[5] now becomes Msg[4] so that the messages scroll up each time a new message gets displayed.It was tricky but I found a simple solution to scroll up the messages.
Now what next...?

i did get it running after docking it :) i was a bit pushed for time but what i managed to see looked good as in scale and camera player speed. dont know if this is a local issue or if you'v experienced it to when transitioning from in and out of buildings i had a crash may be just mine but it happened around the 3rd time
-
@waldron glad you were able to see the game. Yes the crashes are strange but originally I thought it was from loading and unloading maps (going in and out of buildings) but if also seen it crash before I built this even with playing note music occasionally. While I’m testing I usually comment out playing note music in the main loop. So it’s either something else in my coding or a Fuze possible bug in some command. Into inconsistent as this game gets larger. It’s not leaking memory so it will require further investigation later down the road.
-
@tdg8934 when iv done building transition in one of my projects iv set a section of the map where the player warps/ changes location to instead of loading a new map seems less heavy on the system if I was to run out of space or add a whole new part then I would possibly load into a fresh map.positives to using either ways mine started crashing using a clock so I had to take that out

I have been able to figure out Sprite Collision Detection so when the character walks into a sprite like a Key it does something.
What I would like that something to be is to have the Key sprite appear in my ITEMS menubox3. The problem I see is that the menubox3 uses the CreateImage command with box and drawtext commands and setDrawTarget(framebuffer) and the key is a sprite. I couldn’t find anything to add a sprite into an image by CreateImage .
Is this possible or do I need to figure something else out?
Thanks- Tim
-
@tdg8934 You could draw the image that your key uses instead of the sprite using DrawImage() or DrawSheet()
-
That looks simply amazing!
-
@Jongjungbu Great idea! The Item images or image sheets become sprites that I can have the character collide with. Since the sprites start as images or image sheets those can get drawn on the screen using drawImage or drawSheet as you said.
-
Awesome. Glad that worked out for you.
This is looking really interesting. -
@Jongjungbu thank you. The game was to find these 5 golden statues in this huge world of 17k screens but to get to each one you have to do a task that allows you to get to the area where you can search for each one. Along the way bad guys are always attacking you. You find things like colored keys that gain you access into buildings where the statues might be. Also it gets dark out and the character needs food too and sleep so you have to find that. Complicated but extremely addictive and fun!
-
17k screens? :O
-
@Jongjungbu Unbelievably Yes. 100 screens wide x 150 screens tall (256x256 pixel screens). There were other internal screens for caves, inside buildings, etc
