| I want to make a 2D scroller game where the character is animated walking, jumping and punching. But I have not idea how. I want to make the guy walk when a key is held down. So it would have to play the animation of the guy walking when the key is held down. I have used GIF animator, nut I can't use that with blitz, are there any other programs that animate images like .bmp and stuff? Can someone point me in the right direction? |

| It's a little complicated to start with this if you have no idea how to start. Having said that, you might start with understanding LoadAnimImage and its associated commands & examples. |
| ||
| I have looked at the LoadAnimImage and understand it a tiny bit. It would help if the example images were actually there though. >:( |

| Hey, this might help if you are new at this sort of thing have a download at this has all the media in there http://www.blitzcoder.com/cgi-bin/showcase/showcase_download.pl?id=peejay03312004075350&fileurl=http://www.peejays-remakes.co.uk/blitzbasictutorial.zip If this doesn't work or is too complicated? then I might be able to put something together for ya. |

| Thanks! In the 3rd and up lessons there are lots of frames inside of 1 .bmp file,how do you do that? I have Image Packer if that helps. |

| HI, I saw that tutorial (above) and thought that it might give you a quick run down on how things work. You probly want your game to do more like this. http://classifieds.mine.nu/modules.php?name=downloads&d_op=getit&lid=16 (Be warned low res!!) If that will work for you than I can work with you more on a one on ona basis if you are interested All the animations in that demo above were put together with another unfinished, but working utility I am working on called bob studio found http://classifieds.mine.nu/modules.php?name=downloads&d_op=getit&lid=14 (lack of documentation, put pointer over a button that activated and press "q" for a quick help window. I work full time and run a video game store. I am willing to teach you what you want to learn if you are interested.(At least what I have picked up over the years) It might be slow going with everything else going on, but I think that I can give you some good pointers anyway. Let me know if you are anterested PO. Peace and enjoy those two progs |

| Thanks alot DjBigWorm. That is almost exactly how I want my animation to be. In my game there will only be one floor, no platforms. To see what I mean: http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=32697 Your help would be great :) |
| ||
| Hey, Ok I put this together http://classifieds.mine.nu/uploads/Walk_test.zip Peace! |
| ||
| @DjBigWorm wow thats got to be the best explained example ive ever seen in a download |
| ||
| @Tiler Thanks, I thought It might have been an overkill. I find I learn a heck of a lot better when I read material that doesn't assume and explains things "actually step by step" All Blitzers Rule!!! |
| ||
| me too..coding is not my thing i keep tryin to learn..since back in blitz/amiga day still not sussed it |
| ||
| @Po Here is a little something something for you to look at The main functions aren't there ,but you can look at the source code and go from there. If you don't understand some parts post and I can explain:) http://classifieds.mine.nu/uploads/Wizard_test.zip *Edit(z key attacks up arrow jumps) edit* Sorry Po for this Hijack!! @Tiler I like your signature pic I clicked on your site and I thought that you rock at 3d stuff. I am more a pencil and paper artist myself. Check out that link on this post. Ok since you are good at 3d stuff can you export a character to an uncompressed avi with all the different actions you can think of and I might throw it together in some sort of way. I call myself and artist, but when It comes to computer graphics I Suck big time. (Maybe I will post some of my pencil art). If you are interested tiler just throw something together. Specs. Side view Platform charter with all the fixins from throwing puches to getting hit to running!!! Well enough of that, Hey Po and other Blitzer I am sure you know already. Programming and Fat women are similar. They are both fun to do, but you don't want your friends to catch you on them?? Or was it a moped and a fat woman!!! (Everyone please don't get offened with this good humor) |

| you guys doing 2d stuff are any of these any use to you, or to anyone please feel free to use them...some old sprite sheets i did way back in the amiga day, but they are all lores and were done in 16 colours   just click on link in sig and go to 2d stuff (big ruff button at top of screen) @DjBigWorm thanks for comments.. at the moment im working on a 3d platformer using one of the characters on my site the kid type dude..with a blitz coder btw if you post any more examples i wan em :) ...could do with an example of translate entity for moving around in 3d space if you come acroos any well documented |
