Help with swinging

In this project, I need to do a sort of swinging script for the arms of the player, so when the player walks, the arms swing back and forth.

The swinging script you have is pretty good, just know that the sine of a number will always be between -1 and 1. So in your script, the arms direction will always be between 89 and 91 degrees. So they are moving, just so small motion that you can barely see it. To fix this, add in some multiplier to make the swing more noticable.

(((10) * ([sin v] of ((timer) * (700)))) + (90))//I just took your original script and put in a 10*

This is perfect! Thank you, I've implemented the code but the arms move abnormally, is there any way to make the arms look more natural? (Eg. left arm forward and right arm back and vice versa).

To make one arm move forward and the other backwards change the script in one of the arms to:

((((10) * ([sin v] of ((timer) * (700)))) * (-1)) + (90))

This will reverse the motion.

This is my signature. It appears underneath everything I post.

An evil kumquat tried to eat my siggy! Good thing I have a potato siggy defender.

OH NO!!! I forgot to restock on cat block repellent.

It looks like you found some invisible text!

ah perfect, tysm, is there any way for the arms to not snap back into position in my script? thanks in advance.

I realized that you can also do this instead:

(((-10) * ([sin v] of ((timer) * (700)))) + (90))

I've just implemented that too and it sorta doesn't look right, any suggestions? (This is the most advanced code ive done in a long time xD)

Try changing both of the scripts in only one of the sprites.

wdym? could you give a little more detail please?

Rocket-Flier

Keep all of the tens positive in the right arm's script and make them negative in the left arm's script.

You created another topic and I've responded there - best not to confuse things with duplicate topics.

sorry, I thought this thread was closed or something

You can close this thread if you want. There should be a Close topic button beneath the text box in the bottom left of the page. Once you close the topic, it cannot be reopened (unless it's reopened by the ST) and cannot be posted on.

This is my signature, which shows up every time I post and is automatic. To make a signature of your own, locate the “Change your signature” option in the bottom left of the Discussion Home.
