Need help with game

[hojo12345]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
Hi ill get right to the point. I'm am trying to recreate frostbite for my class. I can't figure out how to make the guy jump like the guy in this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iajqWQjchjY&safety_mode=true&persist_safety_mode=1&safe=active

What is the problem you are having?
I can't figure out how to make the guy jump right


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
i have tried different codes all have ended in disaster


Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)
i have tried this

Turing:

var PicFaceLeft, PicFaceRight : int var x, y : int x := 100 y := 100 var direction : int := 0 var chars : array char of boolean View.Set ("offscreenonly") PicFaceLeft := Pic.FileNew ("Person 1.jpg") PicFaceRight := Pic.FileNew ("Person 2.jpg") Pic.Draw (PicFaceRight, x, y, picMerge) View.Update loop     drawfillbox (0, 0, 640, 400, 255)     Pic.Draw (PicFaceRight, x, y, picMerge)     Input.KeyDown (chars)     if chars (KEY_UP_ARROW) then         y := y + 5     elsif chars (KEY_RIGHT_ARROW) then         x := x + 5         direction := 1         Pic.Draw (PicFaceRight, x, y, picMerge)     elsif chars (KEY_LEFT_ARROW) then         Pic.Draw (PicFaceLeft, x, y, picMerge)         x := x - 5         direction := 2     elsif chars (KEY_DOWN_ARROW) then         y := y + 12         if direction = 1 then             x := x + 50             Pic.Draw (PicFaceRight, x, y, picMerge)         elsif direction = 2 then             x := x - 50             Pic.Draw (PicFaceLeft, x, y, picMerge)         end if         View.Update         delay (100)         y := y - 35         if direction = 1 then             Pic.Draw (PicFaceRight, x, y, picMerge)         elsif direction = 2 then             Pic.Draw (PicFaceLeft, x, y, picMerge)         end if     end if     View.Update     delay (10) end loop

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
i am using turing 4.0.4c

^This is what you have


This is what you need

Turing:

elsif chars (KEY_RIGHT_ARROW) then         Pic.Draw (PicFaceRight, x, y, picMerge)         x := x + 5         direction := 1     elsif chars (KEY_LEFT_ARROW) then         Pic.Draw (PicFaceLeft, x, y, picMerge)         x := x - 5         direction := 2

thanks i didn't know how t fix that but i need help on how to get the movement right

[chipanpriest]

Whats wrong with the movement?

[hojo12345]

i want the image to move like on the video

[chipanpriest]

aha i cant see the video cause im at school :p

[hojo12345]

you can't use Youtube at school i can

[chipanpriest]

lol no :/ it sucks, i know

[hojo12345]

have you ever trying HTTPS

[Dreadnought]

I'm not sure if this will fix your problem, but its the first thing that caught my eye.

You have something like this

Turing:

if condition1 then elsif condition2 then elsif condition3 then end if

When condition1 is true do condition2 and condition3 matter?
If this was intended then I apologize for bringing this up.

[hojo12345]

it's there to change my picture when i hit the left and right keys

[Dreadnought]

Yes, but your code wont change the picture while jumping. And you can only jump straight up (no sideways motion while jumping). And since your asking how to "jump right"...

[Velocity]

to jump right you want something like this
if KeyDown (RIGHT_ARROW_KEY) and keyDown ("Your jump key") then
x += 5 % how long you want to jump on the x scale
y += 5 % how high you want to jump on the y scale
x := x %make a new x coord for the previous command
y := y %make a new y coord for the previous command
end if

think about this in depth and you should get a solution in place.

RE : You must program the jump using a more enhanced program and implement the function use an open command.
if you dont want to do that then you can just make a key command for jump like i showed above without the "and" statement and then just press the right or left arrow key while you fall from your jump
or you can make seperate keys for jumping left and jump right and jumping up, and keys for just moving left, and right.

i meant jump correctly i wanted to know if there is a way i can get an image or shape to be able to jump like the guy in the video i posted above

[tg851]

i think he means the way the character itself moves when it jumps,arching over on the jump
