Rebel got vertical elevators working.
Might work better in singleplayer, where's there's no lag.

[Orpheon]

Hmm...Is the source of the latest INSmod available? I don't see it, only old sources.

[Dusty]

Uh I got a newer one, lemme see if I can find the code for the elevators at least.

Collision Code for the Elevators from Character:

Code: [Select]

if((bbox_bottom - (y-yprevious) - 1) < (other.bbox_top - (other.y-other.yprevious)))
        {
        while(place_meeting(x,y,other.id))
        {
        y-=.1;
        }
        vspeed=other.vspeed;
        }
else if((bbox_top - (y-yprevious) - 1) > (other.bbox_bottom - (other.y-other.yprevious)))
{
while(place_meeting(x,y,other.id))
{
y+=.1;
}
vspeed=other.vspeed;
}
else if((bbox_left - (x-xprevious) + 1) > (other.bbox_right - (other.x-other.xprevious)))
{
while(place_meeting(x,y,other.id))
{
if place_free(x+.1,y) x+=.1;
else break;
}
hspeed=0;
}
else if((bbox_right - (x-xprevious) - 1) < (other.bbox_left - (other.x-other.xprevious)))
{
while(place_meeting(x,y,other.id))
{
if place_free(x-.1,y) x-=.1;
else break;
}
hspeed=0;
}Then the End Step Code for the elevator to reset double jumps I guess

Code: [Select]

if !(collision_rectangle(x-sprite_get_bbox_left(0),y-sprite_get_bbox_top(0)-8,
x+sprite_get_bbox_right(0),x+sprite_get_bbox_bottom(0),Character,true,true))<0{
    var char;
    char = instance_nearest(x,y,Character);
    char.doublejumpUsed=0;
}

horizontal moving platforms are just as easy to code; arguably easier than elevators because you won't get stuck as often. just change the vspeed to hspeed when you're on top of it. no moving solids involved.

if you leave it bare, touching the sides of the platform won't do anything. you can add a code to either make it crush you if you're against a wall, or make it switch directions when it collides with you.

here's some more code for 'platforms that move you' (like a conveyor belt)
create event in MovePlatform object

Code: [Select]

// -1 = left
// 1 = right
moveDirection=1
moveSpeed=1;
begin step of Character object

Code: [Select]

if place_meeting(x,y+1,MovePlatform){
    var movePlat;
    movePlat = instance_nearest(x,y,MovePlatform)
        hspeed+=movePlat.moveDirection*movePlat.moveSpeed;
    }
collision with MovePlatfrom in Character object
It's pretty much the same shit as the collision with player walls, except I added an incremental step thing, because the sprite masks might be smaller than usual. (I did this because of a map I'm working on in my mod).

Code: [Select]


        var oldx, oldy, oldhspeed, oldvspeed, distleft, hleft, vleft;
        oldx=x;
        oldy=y;
        oldhspeed=hspeed;
        oldvspeed=vspeed;

        // START OF NEW COLLISION CODE

        move_outside_solid(0, 8);
        move_outside_solid(180, 16);


        hleft = hspeed;
        vleft = vspeed;

        var loopCounter, stuck;
        loopCounter = 0;
        stuck = 0;
        while((abs(hleft) >= 1 || abs(vleft) >= 1) && stuck = 0){ // while we still have distance to travel
                loopCounter += 1;
                if(loopCounter > 10) {
                        stuck = 1;
                }

                var prevX, prevY, collisionRectified;
                collisionRectified = false;
                prevX = x;
                prevY = y;
                // move as far as we can without hitting something
                move_contact_solid(point_direction(x, y, x + hleft, y + vleft), point_distance(x, y, x + hleft, y + vleft));
                // deduct that movement from our remaining movement
                hleft -= x - prevX;
                vleft -= y - prevY;

                // determine what we hit, and act accordingly

                if(vleft != 0 && !place_free(x, y + sign(vleft))) { // we hit a ceiling or floor
                        vleft = 0; // don't go up or down anymore
                        vspeed = 0; // don't try it next frame, either
                        collisionRectified = true;
                }

                if(hleft != 0 && !place_free(x + sign(hleft), y)) { // we hit a wall on the left or right
                        if(place_free(x + sign(hleft), y - 2)) { // if we could just walk up the step
                                y -= 2; // hop up the step.
                                collisionRectified = true;
                        }
                        else if(place_free(x + sign(hleft), y - 4)) { // if we could just walk up the step
                                y -= 4; // hop up the step.
                                collisionRectified = true;
                        }
                        else if(place_free(x + sign(hleft), y - 6)) { // if we could just walk up the step
                                y -= 6; // hop up the step.
                                collisionRectified = true;
                        }
                        else { // it's not just a step, we've actually gotta stop
                                hspeed = 0; // don't go left or right anymore
                                hleft = 0; // don't try it next frame, either
                                collisionRectified = true;
                        }
                }
                if(!collisionRectified && (abs(hleft) >= 1 || abs(vleft) >= 1)) {
                        vspeed=0;
                        vleft=0;
                }
                // here we should probably be checking for cases when collisions aren't rectified
        }

        x -= hspeed; // gamemaker will += these in a moment, so we compensate for that
        y -= vspeed;


After that, you can create any object with any sprite and parent it to MovePlatform and then place them in a room.

I can try my hand at making a map or art 'n' such.

Find it and kill it.

Ah, sorry guys. Killercrusher and I just had a pretty good idea of something else, I think I'm doing that. Thank you anyways for your time and code samples and offers.
They'll probably come in handy someday, since a campaign would be a good idea for afterwards too.

[notarctic]

well what would the story be just the red team and their efforts to defeat blu team? sounds like what happens during multiplayer. single player bot mode would be nice though
