Erm how is that coolcube going to work, and WTF is it for?
This game uses wallmasks, so if Only I knew how to detect angles...
hint: use direction. direction is an angle I did use direction. it failed. Wait how do I even use direction anyways, I just ripped the available code... |

Here's mine.
Destroy event for object Portile:
move_contact_solid(direction, speed);
a=0;
b=0;
if !place_free(x+6,y) a+=1;
if !place_free(x-6,y) a-=1;
if !place_free(x,y+6) b+=1;
if !place_free(x,y-6) b-=1;
if(active)
{
portal=instance_create(x,y,Portal);
portal.color=color;
portal.direction=point_direction(x,y,x+a,y+b);
portal.image_angle=portal.direction;
}
Yeah I thought about place_free, hm. I'll try that. |

Hey it works I'll just tweak it so that it doesn't spin uncontrollably when it hits a corner  |

I know exactly hwo to fix that but it's really complicated and I don't want to delve into the code right now.

So pretty much, I'm going to replicate this simple engine: http://gmc.yoyogames.com/index.php?showtopic=329554now with this direction, would it be if direction=270 for down or something? |

portal=instance_create(x,y,Portal);
portal.color=color;
portal.direction=point_direction(x,y,x+a,y+b);
portal.image_angle=portal.direction;
}
That definately makes alot more sense than my idea. |

Oh, and rather than use vspeed, just use normal speed and make the player's direction the opposite of the portal's to keep the momentum going.
Just an idea.

I took that from that portal engine thing The orientation is still wacky, more reliable but still occasionally doesn't work at certain angles |

Work with the portal's direction to determine which sprite to use. like, if direction="w" or direction="x"{image_index=0}else if direction="y" or direction="z"{image_index=1} I was going to add 4 special walkmask types. |

I considered that two, but then I was like hell no. Imma release beta 5 soon, then I'll fix up floor portals and momentum |
