Hey. This thread is expanding on another that i have all ready made, but Im working on a platformer, either called Twisted or Merged.(Not sure at the moment.)
This thread is for any glitches and advice you may want to give me.

P.S. Im using AS2.
P.S.S I know a bit of AS but I wouldnt call myself an expert.
Nice. Few remarks:
1) When you stand on the first platform, you can't see where to jump to;
2) When you land on the edge of a platform, the game crashes;
3) You might want to make the aerial friction a bit higher.
Besides that, very good.
Air control is a bit funky and difficult to get.
And you can jump inside platforms where the characters feet are planted inside and you can't jump again.
Any suggestions on how to do a knock back, instead of the game crashing glitch????
Depends on what engine you are using... Brad's mini tutorial?
I guess the biggest question you need to ask is whether or not you can detect and isolate an incident like that. If you can, then you can do a fix like that. Otherwise you'll have to fix your engine.
Oh ok. So that was the crashing problem you were having (even though the program itself doesn't crash)?
Couldn't you just make the platforms thinner so you're less likely to fall into the side of it?
Thanks WJUK. I havent had that game breaker yet. Although if you run from the first platform into the large ground/cliff/twisted thing it will glitch and i need a solution to that.
Edit:
I found a solution. I just had another movieclip under neath the enge of my cliff. And it stops the gane breaker and also knocks the charecter back!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like you've fixed the problem. Good job.
i still get the ocasional glitch on the platforms but you can only get them accidnetly and its very rare. And hard to find if you dont know that its there.
Edit: New Build http://www.truploader.com/view/112973&lb=y
Less glitchy
And theres a menu system!
There's still the cant jump when inside platforms bug.
Oh, and this:
Ignore the comical drawing on it.
I agree, I find him practically impossible to control in the air. Especially for precision jumps like those.
To be honest, Inkman has some jumps like that, but since I've gotten complaints about Inkman moving too slowly, so it shouldn't be an issue.
Just say
if (char.x > 250 [aka whatever half your stage width is] ) {
//move the level and character
} else {
//move the character only
}
and likewise for the right wall.
Hey everyone.
I have an all knew problem, that seems pretty noobish but I cant Figure it out.
For the end of my levels my charecter touches a teleport and the end level screen comes up (atleast it is supposed to)
here is my code for that part:
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if (this.hitTest(_root.teleporter))
{
root.gotoAndStop("end1" );
}
}
This = my stick sprite.
When The stickman hits the teleporter nothing happens.
Im just being curious but what do you guys rate my game.
First of all, check that your sprite is actually hitting it (I'm not sure if Flash has something similar but like print out a command to show that it has, or something). Then you can pin down what's going wrong in the code. Your hit detection or the goto statement.
And it's difficult to rate at such an early stage, if you do want me to compare it to a fully-fledged flash game then it's currently about 1/2 seeing as you have character movement and platforming in.
I still get the freeze on corner hit bug, and I fall through the second platform when I skip the first.
Flash can use trace(message) where message is either a var or a "string" to check stuff, so I suppose you use that like WJUK said.
The hitTest is working absolutely perfectly, there is something wrong with the gotoAndStop code
I would also like to have those platforms like the AfroNinja room in world 2 where they fall down when touched.
If i can get these two things done then I have the prologue level done and I can release it on Newgrounds Alphas.
