I want my platformer to be visible or invisible like every few seconds (loop).
I tried my own way but it didn’t work
When I use the method below, almost everything works when my character is near the platforms but when my character is far away the platform isn’t
1.I tried the “show / hide” action but failed because at the time of “hide” I was still on the air and didn’t fall.
2.I tried it with “scene time” and add “change animation” at certain times such as (platform, platform blink and empty frame) I don’t know why but it doesn’t work either.
3.I have tried with just 1 animation and used the framerate to adjust the tempo of the animation.
4.And now I’m using the 3rd method and adding “at the beginning to play animation platforms” but that doesn’t work either.
Try giving the disappearing platforms an instance variable, say SequenceId. Each group or set of platforms that are to flash and disappear together are given the same SequenceId. Set a timer for each SequenceId, and at each timer interval that you have defined for flashing, for disappearing and for reappearing, use a condition to select the platforms matching the SequenceId belonging to the timer.
Can you provide a screen shot of the events where you control the flashing, disappearing and reappearing platforms? Then we can indicate what and where to make changes.
Currently I don’t use event to make my platform disappearing and reappearing, I only use 1 platform object with the animation disappearing and then reappearing. And 1 platform object with animation appearing and then disappearing by adjusting the framerate and position of the animation
Hi again … now I’m using this event,This is the second method I used and it works quite well.But I don’t know how to time it properly.
-I have 1 animation and 1 frame with an platform image which has 1 FPS / 1 Second.
-I have 1 animation and 6 frames with an empty image and a platform image which has 6 FPS / 0.1667 Seconds (I use 5 FPS / 0.2 Seconds to make it easier but i dont know how to use it).
-And I have 1 animation and 1 frame with an empty image which has 1 FPS / 1 second.
Why dont you use 1 animation since you want to loop it constantly??/
Keep it at 5 fps and start with 5 images of the platform then one image one blank (3 times) and then 5 images blank. At the last 5 images remove the hitboxes… and keep it looping…
@Far, what if you set the flashing animation to loop (the check box when you define the animation frames in the object editor)? Then the flashing will continue until you change animations.
do you mean like this? I tried that,I used 1 animaition with a total of 26 frames/images in it and adjusted every frame of the animation but it didn’t work.
I have tried it, the result remains the same even if i check the loop/not or moved my character far/close to the platform, the result will still be like this… no blink animation.
I tried and it would work but it seems that when i messed with the hitboxes then the platform would not loop…
Another way i found was to have two objects where one is a platform that contains the show and blink animations (in one animation) and the other is not a platform… When the animation of the platform ends then it creates the not platform object and when that animation ends it creates the platform…
I don’t think I can explain it very well so I made you an example… Try it and tell me what you think…
the loop is quite well at the beginning but it only happens when the character is close to the platform like mine.
but when i moved that character away from the platfrom and just add center camera event will be like this.
