Hammer smashed face

[The Burrito]

If you do not mind, my good sir, would you show me what you mean?

Sure, you could so something like this:

Code: Select all

if facing == "right" then
love.graphics.draw( player, x, y )
else
love.graphics.draw( player, x+player:getWidth(), y, 0, -1, 1, 0, 0 )
end

Normally this would just flip the sprite over the x coordinate, so you have to add the width of the image to compensate.

Then make pressing right or left set facing accordingly. Don't forget you already have a left facing thing that you should get rid of if you do this.

Thanks, that will make everything a lot easier, my good sir.

Fun GFX but I'm totally disappointed! Where is the face to smash? FAIL

jradich I doubt that anyone could anatomically "smash" a face like you are doing. The guy seems more like stabbing/sticking something in the face.

Will a good sir be inclined to help me out? The code I have tried has not worked to cancel all actions (except the one for x) when x is pressed

Could you be a bit more specific? And also upload a .love from your current source code to the forums? Then we can see what you're doing and what you could change to make it do what you want it to do.

I apologize for my late response, but what I mean is that when you press 'x' (which currently just makes the guy look like he is striking a hammer) it will stop you from moving if you are moving when you press it, in addition to what it presently does. Basically, I've been trying to make it so that when you press it, it looks like he is stopping in a fixed position so he can strike his hammer.

You can wrap the other checks in an if:

Code: Select all

if not love.mouse.isDown('x') then
   if love.mouse.isDown('left') then
      ....
   end
   if love.mouse.isDown('right') then
      .... 
   end
   ....
end

Thanks love community. You have been very helpful.

You asked for some collision help, I've attached a version of your main.lua with a really simple bounding box algorithm, it doesn't work for polygons but could. It's not the best, but hopefully it helps. Just drop it in a copy of your code (replacing your main) and test it out.

EDIT: You "test it out" by trying to move into the boxes. You can add more boxes (check love.load()).

I am forever in your debt, noble warrior.
