for a simple ai use some randoms. for example create a random object where the outcome is either a 1 or 2. if 1 shoot if 2 dont. same for speed. 1 accel 2 dont. thats pretty basic but itll do for now. you could check my drag racer game(can be found on pspupdates) for my simple ai

if this is where your images are for the icons screen:blit(30, 150, pstype, true) screen:blit(100, 195, pscalc, true) screen:blit(285, 195, psdraw, true) screen:blit(355, 150, links, true) you can use the...

i want the same image to be able to scroll accross the screen. currently i have it so that one image is is put at 0,0 then one at 480, 0 then 960, 0 and so on. is there an easier way then typing it all out? that way it could be infinite.

wekilledbambi03

are you using custom fonts? i noticed that when i did it slowed down gameplay and music (i was using .wav dont know if that has any effect on it)

wekilledbambi03

nevermind...i went with creating a bunch of .txts just to get it done. but if anyone still wants to answer im sure others (still including me) would be interested.

this could help a bit.

i know that there is an example of loading multiple lines in snake. however ive been staring at it and fiddling with it for a while. i just cant get it to work right. can someone explain it in a bit of detail?

wekilledbambi03

im not sure about the volume thing but i do believe that the sound is mono. also has anyone noticed that if you write in a new font the sound gets really slow?

wekilledbambi03

does anyone know where some good converters are? ive looked a few times but never found any good ones.

wekilledbambi03

thanks that works. now i have another sound question. i would like music to play during a race. problem is i have sounds for the engine constantly playing. the music plays for about half a second before it is drowned out by the engine. is the problem that the music isnt load enough or that the const...

wekilledbambi03

thats basically what i have. and it gives me this error message "loop in gettable"

wekilledbambi03

i have a sound clip (.wav) playing. its about 30sec long. problem is i dont know how to stop it. i tried bgmusic:stop() (bgmusic is the var for the file) then it says something to the effect of loop in gettable. i forget exactly what it said. can anyone help me out?

wekilledbambi03

alright thanks for the help. however before i read it i made up my own code. it was really simple once i got the hang of how the stick works. hopefully soon i can implement my sytem into my game. currently i just have it in a seperate file just for testing. i still havent figured out exactly how to ...

wekilledbambi03

well im glad some people are agreeing with me (kinda) but does anyone know how to do it?

wekilledbambi03

i am currently using the shoulder buttons. i just wanted to see how it would control like that. im sure it would be difficult but i wanted to try something different. i would also put in a clutch so there wont be unwanted shifting. you just have to clutch, push the stick in the right region, and rel...

ive been working on my drag racer game (on pspupdates if anyone wants to try) ive changed it quite a bit so the old versoin is really basic. one thing i wanted to change was the conrols. i want to give the player a better sense of shifting. ive thought about this and thought it would be cool for maj...

could something like this be used to show the timer

Code: Select all

timer = Timer.new&#40;&#41;
...
timer&#58;start&#40;&#41;
...
if x+75 == bx+3800 then
	timer&#58;stop&#40;&#41; end
...
screen&#58;print&#40;120, 213, timer, red&#41;

i think i figured it out. i was launching the .lua file from file assistant. it must have an older version of lua. i tried the lua player eboot and it worked. thanks though. now back to figuring out how to create a timer.

wekilledbambi03

was this problem in version 10? i know ive had them both. i cleared a bunch of stuff off of my memory stick. i may have pu on 10 instead of 11. ill have to check.

wekilledbambi03

i think there is a problem with my lua player. no matter what i try it says: attempt to index global "Timer" (a nil value). i even tried the led timer from the link KawaGeo gave me. i guess im not that stupid after all if its really a problem with lua. im using 11 by the way. anyone else h...

wekilledbambi03

how exactly do you create a timer? i know its in the list of functions, but once again i have to plead stupidity.

wekilledbambi03

function fly() bx = bx-2 wx = wx-2 if crashup() then return end end is that right? cause it doesnt work. it just runs the function. function fly() bx = bx-2 wx = wx-2 if y < uplimit then return end end tried tat too. did nothing. by the way the bx and...

wekilledbambi03

thanks guys i got the shifting working now. now i gotta jsut work on making a timer and a bunch of other stuff.

wekilledbambi03

nevermind...i changed it to

Code: Select all

if upCount == 1 then

but i must have changed something in other parts of the code cause it doesnt work right.

wekilledbambi03

Code: Select all

if upCount = 1 then

that part (and the downcount one) give me an error. it says then expected near =. i change it to

Code: Select all

if upCount > 1 then

that got rid of the error but it went back to what it was doing before.
thank you though.

im making a drag racing game. i spent like an hour or 2 working out the equations for the gear ratios and what not. i based it off of data collected from gt4(playing the game is why it took me about 2 hours). anyway, i got it all worked out and it should go really good. in fact it pretty much does e...

wekilledbambi03

alright thanks ill try it

wekilledbambi03

so would i put that in the function itself? like

Code: Select all

funtion something&#40;&#41;
stuff = otherstuff
if pad&#58;cross&#40;&#41; then
return

wekilledbambi03

could you explain that a little more? im still pretty new to coding. im sure it makes sense you know the stuff, but im dont. hahaha

wekilledbambi03

is there a way to stop a function with an if then statement?
