Having trouble with Undertale style attacks...

iwasalone

I was making an Undertale type project using randomized attacks, when I ran into one of several problems.The green heart attacks keep spazzing out when they spawn and the flies won't spawn/show. The main fly is supposed to hide, just for reference.

Anyone willing to look though my scripts and help me out for fixing these glitch/coding problems?

Also, can anyone help me make the blue heart jump and be pulled down in gravity just like in Undertale?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. - Will share project upon request. Just tell me.

ok.
can you please share it

The hearts can be solved like this:

when I receive [-1 heart v] 
change y by (up)
glide () secs to x: (bottom) y: (bottom)

I hope that helps

For the blue heart's gravity script, feel free to backpack my script if it suits your needs.
The project where I have the script is in my signature.

I don't quite get what you're trying to achieve with the green heart, so please share your project for reference!

Ok, will share.

As for the blue heart, I will try that out and tell you if it works.

As for the gravity script, I will try and credit you.

Well, the game doesn't use life, just how many times you got hit.

The scripts didn't translate well and I'm not the best at Scratch, so I'll have to peek around at the wiki. Good project though. For the green heart, it's basically supposed to be the Undyne fight at diffrent levels.

Little update:

Got blue heart working- used wiki and going to evolve it.

Blue attacks mostly done

Green attack won't show.

Just thought I'd update you guys.

I see your problem with the arrow attacks in green heart mode.
You start your scripts like this:

when I start as a clone
if <(pick random (1) to (4)) = [1]> then
end
when I start as a clone
if <(pick random (1) to (4)) = [2]> then
end
when I start as a clone
if <(pick random (1) to (4)) = [3]> then
end
when I start as a clone
if <(pick random (1) to (4)) = [4]> then
end

This means when a clone is created, every single script rolls a random number of it's own.

For example, script one rolls a “2”, so it doesn't execute.
Script two rolls a “2”, so it executes.
Script three rolls a “3”, so it executes.
Script four rolls a “1”, so it doesn't execute.

But script two and three aren't supposed to happen at the same time, so the attacks glitch out.

So to fix this, create a variable for “this sprite only”.
Then, roll a different number before a clone is created each time.
This ensures that the same random number is consistent across all of the clone's scripts.

when green flag clicked
forever
set [RNG v] to (pick random () to (10))
create clone of [myself v]
wait (pick random (2) to (3)) secs
end


when I start as a clone
if <(RNG) = [1]> then
//do the same thing for the numbers 2-4
end

Is this clear enough, or do I have to remix to show you what I mean?

I think this will be fine, thanks a lot! Plus, you're already credited.

Alright, i tried your idea, and it kind of worked. Sometimes the arrows won't show, but I'm trying to work around that. I unshared it so people didn't get much of a taste before the full release.

UPDATE: I made some changes to the script, and added a copy of those RMB ones so it spawns faster depending on Intensity. Have any ideas to make them not only spawn on one side, because that's exactly what it does. Project shared again.

NO, Ataxos didn't write that down, actually; I did.

I think I could use a modified version of your script to make it work. Thanks!
