Endless shooter

[slaughtumn]

I want to create an endless shooter thing, and i want obstacles and enemies to spawn randomly and also, how do i loop this so my guy doesn't just get to the end of the layout and stop. As i said, I want it to be endless. Thanks!

the character is not moving, you are just jumping. the platform and enemies move by setting a speed to a direction. to do the random spawn u need to know about Random in C2.

ok thanks! but how does that make it endless?

[Platanito]

Add Action > System > Time > Wait

C2 Time Actions are only found in Add Action > System > Time. the others are for Sprite FPS

[Platanito]

Example:

if Platform1 spawned in (x,y), Then Wait 2 seconds Then Spawn another Platform at a random(x,y).

Also here is a video talking about moving background https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wm9BFP2qfk

for enemies can be a random x variable. but for y is different. The enemies has to spawn on top of the comming Platform. So that cant be random. to do this you have to set the enemy y position to, Set y Position > (Platform1.y + 3). the number can be more than 1 depending were is the origin of the enemy, as long it dosent touch the platform when spawn.

Watch some Youtube videos, or Scirra website, they help alot. Thenx

Ohhh yeeaaah, I could've done that!
But thanks a bunch anyway!

[Platanito]

Have Fun.

[slaughtumn]

come to think of it, do you also know how to add enemies to this kind of project?

[Platanito]

wot u mean ?

[slaughtumn]

As in randomly spawned enemies and how they work and go towards you and shoot.

[Platanito]

set evey tick (Enemy.x -1) put less number for biger speed to LEFT. evey (#seconds) enemy should create a sprite called Bullet1, add bullet behavior to bullet and make it move left just like the enemy but with a higher speed.

[slaughtumn]

What do I use every tick with? set position? or Move forward?

[Platanito]

Move forward to direction

[slaughtumn]

Hmm..... they don't appear when I playtest

[slaughtumn]

Ok! I figured it out! Thanks for all the advice!
