Platform demo... Am I missing something?

by Rick Howard · in Torque Game Builder · 03/03/2009 (6:57 pm) · 3 replies

I have gone through the platform demo several times (starting afresh each time just to be sure) and I am having problems. I feel like I have followed the tutorial faithfully, but I still get odd behavior. The sprite can move indefinitely in either direction (doesn't stop at the "wall"), and when I jump, the sprite just disappears off the top of the screen.

Has anyone else had these issues? I have the latest download of TGB, and I followed the latest platform demo tutorial.

Thanks!
Rick

It souinds like you need to set the world limit to "CLAMP". Make sure you resize the limit to the size of your level.

Thanks! I'll give that a shot.

Steven,

Thanks! As soon as I set the animated sprint world limit to clamp, and then sized the world limit box, I got the desired behaviour. At least the sprite stops at the edge of the screen now. This needs to be added to the tutorial.

I am still having trouble with gravity, though. I have added gravity to both the static sprite and the animated sprite, but it doesn't seem to be working. When I jump, the sprite still exits the top of the screen, and when I walk off a platform, it stays in midair. Any more suggestions?

Thanks again,

Rick
