"MoveA" not working

DJGameFreakTheIguana · May 27, 2013

Title says it all, the moveA command wont work for some reason. I'm trying to make platforms that move up and down for this new levels:

Code:

anim idle
	 loop      1
	 delay     4
	 offset    0 5
		@cmd changeentityproperty getlocalvar("self") "Subject_to_Gravity" 0
	 drawmethod  256  256  1  0  0  -1  -1
		platform  89  22  -90  -90  39  39  26  6

*EDIT*
SO I found the Wiki and it said that the gravity command would stop this from working, so I took the script off and now it works, but I ran into another problem. There's another platform I wanted to start at up, then move down, but I have to spawn it in the air for it to start there[coords 1819 252 125], and with the gravity, it wont come back down, but without it, it wont stay up there. So now, I need help being able to keep this thing up while moving down and back up again:

Code:

anim idle
	 loop      0
	 delay     45
	 offset    0 0
		#@cmd changeentityproperty getlocalvar("self") "Subject_to_Gravity" 0
	 drawmethod  256  256  1  0  0  -1  -1
		platform  89  22  -90  -90  39  39  26  1

Any thoughts? The only idea I came up with was to manually move it down using offset, but that messes up the platform command.

I believe you should use script instead and keep subject_to_gravity set to 0 permanent or IOW set it in platform's header not with script.
Here's my suggestion:

anim idle
@script
void self = getlocalvar("self");

if(frame==0||frame==2){
changeentityproperty(self, "velocity", 0, 0, 0);
}
if(frame==1){
changeentityproperty(self, "velocity", 0, 0, -5);
}
if(frame==3){
changeentityproperty(self, "velocity", 0, 0, 5);
}
@end_script
delay 180
offset 0 0
drawmethod 256 256 1 0 0 -1 -1
platform 89 22 -90 -90 39 39 26 1
frame data/bgs/TBase/TBP3.gif
delay 24
frame data/bgs/TBase/TBP3.gif
delay 180
frame data/bgs/TBase/TBP3.gif
delay 24
frame data/bgs/TBase/TBP3.gif

Simpler and easier to read

Thanks BloodB. I'll let you know how it goes.

EDIT:
After setting antigravity (100) to both platforms, they worked out fine, so thanks again!

Also, if you noticed the delay and move number, I had to make the platforms zip up and down because when I made them float down at a steady pace, I kept falling on almost every pixel, which would've made things difficult.

Nice trick, Blood!

But question: Is OpeBOR able to use sin/cos movements?
In Mugen, we use "3*cos(time/4.0)" (an example) to archive it.

Bloodbane · May 28, 2013

I never heard of such movement. If you meant, movement in sinusoid pattern, we need different script to achieve that
