Halp required: Cometstrike- 2p Fast-Paced Versus Fighter

Koamodo975

Yo, wassup Scratchers. You see, I'm working on a big project, a chaotic, 2P DBZ-inspired fighting game, and I need some help with the scripts. These are the things I need help with here(bold means that this is a primary problem):

-I honestly need a better physics system ya'll, this one don't work realistically enough and as the game has a nice amount of physics involved, this'll need to be resolved, preferably before the rest. If the nothing else, I'll use what I've got, but it'll look really sucky. Nothing too complicated since I have set hitboxes, just something to give more realistic collisions and velocity.

-In the game, when a character moves away from another character, I want everything to zoom out, shrinking everything and moving it correspondingly. Anyone ever done this before? still unfixed the latest try's still glitching out

-Like I said before, my game's gonna be DBZ-inspired, so that means ki attacks. How do I code an energy wave that extends as you shoot, but isn't made with costumes or clones? The whole beam needs to be able to damage the opponent as well, so keep that in mind. Solved Unsolved, I forgot the way I was gonna do it, and the person that helped me delet'd the project
Resolved by yours truly
-This one's pretty simple: Does anyone know how to code projectiles that arc towards the opponent, like a halfway boomerang? What I mean is that the projectile locks onto the opponents position, then fires off in a random direction (within a range of deviations) and arcs towards the opponent, staying locked for a short amount of time after firing. possibly fixed, gotta test it later on in development

-How do I create a screenshake effect? For transformations and stuff.

-I also need to know how to break Scratch's size limit, for a certain move when it's fired up close.
solved, I figured out I just need to switch to a blank costume, change the size, then switch back to the old costume.

-In the game, when a projectile is fired, I want it to create an explosive effect, but it constantly ‘damages’ when I try to do this.(In the base project, the ‘ow’ made by the placeholder is the damage placeholder). I'm using clones for the blasts, and making them expand and fade on impact, but there's constant damage until it disappears. Has anyone done this?

-One last thing: How do I check to make sure that a key has been released since the last time it was pressed? I need this for the attacks and the jump button, so that you have to click the button repeatedly to jump or strike instead of just holding. This can't use the ‘wait until <>’ block, either.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. You won't regret it when I release the game!

FOR YOUR FIRST PROBLEM HERE IS WHAT I OFFER[scratchblock

s]
forever
set size to (((distance maxi) - (distance to [other sprite v]))v]) %
if <[ditance maxi] < (distance to [other sprite v])> then
point towards [other sprite v]
move (10) steps
end
end

I'M SORRY I'M NOT VERY GOOD AT SCRATCH BLOCKS

pour le second probleme utilisez un dégradé dans le costume du sprite (un nouveau enfin je crois) fait le s'agranrire
j'ai fais comme ça pour les boucliers de ce jeu
(c'etais au tous debut)

imagine ::motion
program ::sensing
share ::operators

mais c pas du tt orgiginal comme signature ça

for the second problem use a gradient in the costume of the sprite (a new one finally I believe) makes it bigger
I did like this for the shields of this game
(it was at the very beginning)

for the last problem use this

repeat until <touching [enemie v] ?>
set [dir1 v] to (direction)
point towards [enemie v]
set [dir v] to (direction)
point in direction (((dir) + (dir1)) / (2)
move (10) steps

For the first one, did you implement zooming and can you move the camera? Just wondering.

Also, are there going to be up to 2 players or any amount of players?

For your second problem, you could use the pen extension, and have data storing important infromation.

Hi

when green flag clicked
set [move (10) steps] to [10]
think [move (10) steps]

Golly gee, what if I say something important like: I'm making minecraft in scratch! Follow me or I'll steal your ovens' fans' cabinets' glass. Or just a glass from your cabinet next to your oven fan. Do ovens have fans? Maybe its a stove fan, idk.

Yes! I think I've finally got the beam part down, thanks for your help.

It looks like your first and second problems are solved. For a screenshake, I'm unsure. However, I believe griffpatch's space shooter game has a section on it! https://youtu.be/RKdXM3x-jEo?t=1060

Arc projectiles. Could you explain yourself further?

Arc projectiles. Could you explain yourself further?

I mean instead of the projectile going straight towards the target, it aims at an angle and then curves toward the target. For example, if the target is at 0 degrees relative to the character, the projectile would aim at, say, -30 degrees, then curve around to the opponent. Sorta like a boomerang that doesn't come back.

Also, the first one isn't solved, ma33-ma's solution makes the characters too big/too small.

Up to two players only, and I haven't made any camera movement. Would probably help tho!
