Working on a 3D-ish engine. It's REALLY simple using SPOFS and SPSCALE. I made the back wall, but I have NO idea on how I could make the diagonal side walls. (What I mean is, if the sprite were to walk up to the wall, they stop moving. I know things like IF X<23 THEN X=23.) How do I make diagonal collision? Any ideas?

You could try to get the angle of the line and then get the Z value of the aprite and get the intersection of the two lines, then not let the sprite past that point

My two cents anyways, I learned this stuff in school so it makes much more sense than two months ago.

I will try to replicate what you did and implement this in, if I have time. Continue working on the problem!

Game plan for me (this is so i can gather my thoughts): Create back wall Create randomized side walls and record line angles Get sprite Main loop Get sprite position Controls, change variables to not truely move sprite Find line intersections with new positions If hitting, don't move sprite, else move sprite repeat

*truly

Oh, but I'll have to take into account sprite size as well...

I'll do this using SPSCALE OUT

I can send you the code. I'm thinking about using this for the Endless War to make it Earthbound-y.

Recen

this is a lot of math... but i'm making good progress

I don't need the code at this point, it is pretty simple to make.

other than the side walls

more than an hour for 31 lines of code... what am i doing with my life... anyways, it works. I finally did the math right after it all went over my head over and over again.

I'll get screenshots and code in soon. I really really like my code. But it has a 1 in 359 chance of crashing because of a divide by zero, because of math. I'm going to make a player-centered camera for this.

8EVN438J I made the player a log so I can could see the full boundaries of the sprite.

But how do I make the camera not take into account the sprite size? How do I make things smaller instead?

*confuzzled*

I know this is probably SUPER annoying for you, but could you take my key and implement what you did on my engine? I'm not a mathematician, and I am completely and utterly AMAZED of what you did. It's awesome! (you'll get credit [if you help {more than u already have}]) thx

I have a feeling your code is not going to be simple

But I won't help you on the last stretch, sorry. It's not that big of a deal that you want me to help a bit more. But the fact that you would only give me credit for FULLY implementing it into your code after spending an hour and a half for making a working example is kind of sad. If you feel overwhelmed by my code, then just edit mine. I'm sure it wouldn't be too much of a change.

I'm not a bad guy, but you ask for so much with this "credit" thing hanging off a hook for me to chase, and it isn't working.

I understand. I guess it would be your own game then. But could you at least tell me why the code isn't working? I got rid of the random number thing and put my own. But now when I move my character around only the x-coordinates move and not the y. He also won't stop when he hits my line. Whats wrong with my code?

That's the initialization. Any errors would be in the main loop. (if you're in the main loop, something is very wrong)

Oh! Never mind! I got it to work! Just need to make some adjustments! Thanks so much! Any way I can make this up to you?

nope

...if I can someday I will...if I can... xD

Do you care if I use this for a game?

Why would I? Make sure you texture the walls.

I don't know, I just thought it'd be respectful because you helped A LOT! I'm not very professional at coding. I was also wondering how I could do that. I was thinking using GFILL, but I don't think GFILL can go diagonally. I could make a map, and reposition the lones to fit it, but that'd take a while. Oh well, whatever works.

Use GPAINT, it's like the fill/paint bucket in most tools.
