Scratch

for gravity, just look for the tag gravity and choose one, for the walking you should make different costumes and then in the scripts use... (forever)next costume   wait__sec.

Thanks but im stuck on the first one on change Y by yVelocity there's only change y by "number"....Can you help me out?

Ok I got them down thank you    One last question how would I get an attack without making it go through the attack when I run...Like the sprites I make all go to the walking/running cycle how would I get it to press a single button then it would only do it for that button if you can under stand that...Not sure how to explain it any better...

Yes. When I push a certain button I want it do do a certain action so far when I make a new costum all it does is add it to the walk animation is there a way to create a new sprite and not have it added to the walk cycle/walk animation?

Just keep switching coustumes based on what the sprite is doing.

if you sprites is running then forever

switch to run1, switch to run 2, switch to run 3 and so on

if the sprite is jumping then
switch to jumping

and so on.

This tutorial should attract people!     

The code for the main sprite's gravity is  in my ssbm project is

<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<set y to( sprite x )>
<end>

<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<if> <key[  space  ]pressed?>
<repeat( 20 )>
<change{ sprite x  }by(0.3)>
<end>
<repeat until><<  <not><touching color[blue] >>
<change{ sprite x   }by(0.1)>
<end>
<end>

You can also use the "mod" function to cycle through a range of costumes in one command.

Let's say  you wanted to cycle through 5 costumes, numbered 4,5,6,7,8.

You could do this with
    change to costume  4+ ( (costume+1) mod 5)

I read the script. Thanks. I just have one question. Say i want to have barrieors so that i can stand on them and not go through them. Do you know how i can do that?

It is basicly a platform that you can stand on.

Thx

I think this project may have the codes you are looking for.

To switch sprites while your enemy is walking just use the change costumes block.

I had posted a simple gravity tutorial in another tread but I guess I'll repost it with ways to make it react the the ground.


Ok people I will tell you how to implement gravity!

The way I implement gravity is very simple and logical and you probally won't think gravity is such a big deal anymore.

// First create a "this sprite only" variable on your sprite called yVelocity

Then put this script into your sprite.
// yVelocity will only change if player is not touching the ground
<when green flag clicked>
<set{  yVelocity}to(0
<forever>
<if>
<touching[ ground ]
<set{ yVelocity }to( 0
<end>
<else>
<change{ yVelocity }by(-1
<change y by( yVelocity
<end>

//Now that wasn't so hard was it?


Now to jump we invert gravity.
//The player should only jump if he is touching the ground
<when[ up ]key pressed>
<if>
<touching[ ground ]
<set{  yVelocity}to( 10
<end>


Controlling x and y velocity is an important of game design and it's good to learn about it 

The player should not fall though the ground but he might get stuck in it a little. To fix this the best way is to use color sensing. So if the color of the upper part of the sprites is touching the color in the ground make the sprite rise.

My Sprite Doesn't Jump! the velocity just goes up. what do i do?
