Hi guys !
I’ve created an automatic background animation for my game, with 0 and 1 digits, following a path. To make like a lowing data thing. It has been done using different sprites.
I would like to make more of this kind of animation, but it takes too much time and PNG doing it this way.
Is there a way I could achieve the same result using event, behaviours or stuff like that ?
Thanks a lot !
I’m not quite clear on what you mean - is it like a follow the leader type animation, where the digits follow one another? How are you doing it at the moment?
Its exactly that MrMen. I want to be able to easily give a path to something (could be a sprite of digits, could be text with digits and so …), so it follow this same path.
Right now, I have done this with 15 different PNGs that I’ve created with illutrator, giving them this movement effect.
I would like to share you my build, but I cant make build anymore. Need to figure out why Oo
That wave could be reproduced using sine or cosine functions. You’d use the x position as the input to calculate the y position. Once that’s sorted, it there would be a calculation to rotate the sprites.
But I’d look at recreating it using a few tweens - a linear one for the x position, an EasInOutCubic for the y position, and another for the rotation. I’d say this would be less messy and use less events.
[edit] Just thinking about using tweens - it maybe not as simple as first thought. You’d have to get the timing right to get the sprites moving up and down at the right time/position. Or keep a track of the first sprite’s positions and apply them to the following sprites as they pass the same horizontal position.
So maybe the sine/cosine way is a better solution.
Thanks a lot !
I’ll give it a try. If its too messy, I’ll go the sprites way =p
