Side-scrolling send troop kind of game template

Twayne2

Anyone got one? I mean, before I maybe start to make a game like this myself.

Hi Twayne

I can't find the file I used but it was posted by socks somewhere with an idea inspired by ?was it Tatiang?

You can try this format

Game attributes

• gameX (real)
• gameY (real)
• gameR (real)
• OffsetY (real)

Actor 1 - "parent actor" or the main thing that scrolls around

Constrain attribute: game.gameX to self.positionX
Constrain attribute: game.gameY to self.positionY
Constrain attribute: game.gameR to self.rotation

RULE
When touch is pressed
Change attribute: set game.OffsetY to game.mousepositionY-self.positionY
Constrain self.positionY to min(400,max(200,game.mousepositionY-game.OffsetY))
--> 400 and 200 are the limits of your scrolling so it doesn't overscroll

Actor 2 - or as many as you want - these are the clickable windows inside your scrollbar

Actor attributes

• mag (real)
• angle (real)

Change attribute: self.mag to magnitude(game.gameX-self.positionX,game.gameY-self.positionY)
Change attribute: self.angle to vectorToAngle(self.positionX-game.gameX,self.positionY-game.gameY)

Constrain attribute: self.positionY to self.mag*sin(self.angle+game.gameR)+game.gameY

===

This should allow it to scroll up and down
Haven't tested it myself but I'm assuming if you change the appropriate 'Y's to 'X's you can move it sideways instead

Thanks, but that was not my question. My question was if anyone had made a template for that kind of game.

Yes there are a few... So its definitely possible.

I wish but no, it wasn't me.
