any one know how to rotate an image only 1 degree instead of 90?

you'd have o do a math code i guess

[SG57]

well, iknow that but i think i might look at the 90degree one and tweak it a little bit but if u kno just tell me

if i knew, i would've told you, but i don't, sorry

i don't really have the need to rotate pics

[monster356]

Hmm.
I Would actually like to know how to make a sidescrolling background.
That would be a nice addition to my game lol.
But barrier's would still be nice :icon_bigg

i got a sidescrolling bg, it's quite easy, and barriers don't seem to hard either, i'll make an example for ya

[WraithLeader]

Since I wasn't able to figure out how to post my code here without getting an reply error, if anyone could assist me by looking at this thread at PSPLua and replying here to help me. Also if anyone has any sidescrolling demos, animation demos, especially with animating characters to jump with one command, run with another, and getting multiple functions like time to run while an animation is going, I would be eternally grateful!

how do i load a file if my cursor goes over a certain pixel?

[lingon]

Is there a way to control two cursors, one with the directional pads and one with the X, O, []... buttons at the same time so that you can play twoplayer stuff? And if so, can it be made using functions?
/Lingon =)

[monster356]

i believe that is possible

and sg57, i would help out with that, but i am not real sure how to do it

[InhumanElmo]

alright so im making a little gmae just for me and my pals. I won't be sending it to pspu because the fact that its really noobish and sloppy and a bunch of other things. But anyway. I want to make a hidden bonus content kinda thing that will display pics when you press a button. I have the hidden key combo done and the button pushing thing done. My only thing is when you display the hidden content it doesn't let you exit. Ive tried everything from adding the whole break thing in it in diff places and nothing works. this is the snippet of code that im having trouble with:

spad = Controls.read()

if spad:l() and spad:r() and spad:down() and spad:select() then do
screen:clear()
screenrint(10,130,"U figured it out. Enjoy!",green)
screen.flip()

if spad:start() then
break
end

while true do

mpad = Controls.read()

if mpad:cross() then
screen:clear()
screen:blit(0,0,bonusimg)
screen.flip()
screen.waitVblankStart()
end

if mpad:triangle() then
screen:clear()
screen:blit(0,0,bonusimg2 )
screen.flip()
screen.waitVblankStart()
end

if mpad:square() then
screen:clear()
screen:blit(0,0,bonusimg3 )
screen.flip()
screen.waitVblankStart()
end

if mpad:circle() then
screen:clear()
screen:blit(0,0,bonusimg4 )
screen.flip()
screen.waitVblankStart()
end
end
end
end
end

[InhumanElmo]

Help please!

[IchigoKurosaki]

bonusimg = Image.load(" ")
bonusimg2 = Image.load(" ")
bonusimg3 = Image.load(" ")
bonusimg4 = Image.load(" ")

function start()
while true do
pad = Controls.read()

if pad:ltrigger() then
if pad:rtrigger() then
if pad:down() then
if pad:select() then
screen:clear()
screen.print(10,130,"U figured it out. Enjoy!",green)
screen.flip()
ending()
end
end
end
end

if pad:start() then
break
end
end
end

function ending()
while true do
pad = Controls.read()

if pad:cross() then
screen:clear()
screen:blit(0,0,bonusimg)
screen.waitVblankStart()
screen.flip()
end

if pad:triangle() then
screen:clear()
screen:blit(0,0,bonusimg2 )
screen.waitVblankStart()
screen.flip()
end

if pad:square() then
screen:clear()
screen:blit(0,0,bonusimg3 )
screen.waitVblankStart()
screen.flip()
end

if pad:circle() then
screen:clear()
screen:blit(0,0,bonusimg4 )
screen.waitVblankStart()
screen.flip()
end
end
end

[lingon]

So how do I do that?

[SG57]

take out the end function and just say while true do and controls.read cause end already has a function

[InhumanElmo]

sorry IchigoKurosaki but your code didn't work. i figured it out. I had to put the

if spad:start() then
break
end

and the

if mpad:start() then
break
end

directly under the controls.read() function. I got it to work and its coming along. Thanks for trying tho guys!

*shrugs* whatever works for you :icon_bigg

[SG57]

any one have a file loading code that if my cursor goes over a certain spot, then it loads the file tht is tested?

[lingon]

Sorry, but I dont really get ya there =(. How do you mean?

[SG57]

just get rid of ur functions cause u said 'start' and a function was named start

[lingon]

Well, I suppose that would work but isn't there a way to run two functions at the same time? That would be much more usefull. =)

[SG57]

well u didnt even use the function and i dont think a function can hold a loop

[lingon]

just get rid of ur functions cause u said 'start' and a function was named start

Was that message for me? If so, where did I say 'start'?

[SG57]

no my mix up but i did make a dual cursor script that works ill send it to u when i get the chance

[IchigoKurosaki]

well u didnt even use the function and i dont think a function can hold a loop

A function can hold a loop i just perfer to split up my games into functions even if i don't use the function it's just more organized. I guess if you want you could have them all under If Statements, but then it starts to look crowded and messy. :icon_wink

[lingon]

no my mix up but i did make a dual cursor script that works ill send it to u when i get the chance

Yeah, that'd be great. I'll watch and learn. =) If ya want I think you can attach it to a post in this thread.

[SG57]

well my comp is broken and i cant get a new one til christmas
