Knytt Stories DS - Help required (Question 10!)

Kasran's correct.

*Bows!* Lots of thanks! 

New question! Help me to program KSDS in a Chinese train! 

Sure. I'll be able to give you information within the next 30 mins.

Note that I have researched a bit about MMF2 and it seems that there is something ("soul"... or something) that describes the behavior of entities. On the feedback, it is possible to describe me how that "soul" works for the critters?

I'll let Looki get this one, but I can tell you that this "soul" is simply the behavior of a certain object.

Thanks , Purple Pineapple.  

Every disc's startup direction is chosen randomly between left and right.
Touching 11:4 and 11:5 will make Juni splode.

11:1
Every 00"30, speed = rand(3)*3
Every 00"88, direction = <--- or ---> (you'll probably use -1 and 1)
11:2
Every 00"55, speed = rand(3)*3
Every 03"00, one instance (at random) spawns 17 white shockwaves. The disc stops moving.
Each shockwave's direction in degrees is their index (0-based) /11.25*360.
Their speed is 30 and the deceleration is 20. I'm not sure what that means, sorry.
If they stop or collide with a tile, they get destroyed.
11:3, 11:4
Every 00"35, speed = rand(3)*4
Every 00"65, direction = <--- or --->
11:5, 11:8
Every 00"35, speed = rand(3)*3
Every 00"65, direction = <--- or --->
11:6
Every 01"27, speed = 5+rand(2)*4
Every 02"22, one instance (at random) spawns 17 white shockwaves. The disc stops moving.
The shockwave's speed is rand(35)+20. For the rest, see 11:2.
11:7
Every 00"45, speed = rand(4)*4
Every 01"65, direction = <--- or --->
11:9
Every 01"27, speed = 5+rand(2)*4
Every 03"00, one instance (at random) spawns 17 green shockwaves. The disc stops moving.
Each shockwave's direction in degrees is their index (0-based) /11.25*360.
Their speed is 35, their gravity is 12. They die when they collide with the umbrella or a tile.
11:10
Every 00"45, speed = rand(3)*9
Every 01"77, direction = <--- or --->

 

Regarding speed and deceleration, don't worry, I already deciphered that from previous particle behaviour (In the end, didn't  ) .

Moar questions! This time, bank 13... those robots are soooo difficult to decipher  (note that some parts from this bank are already implemented).

Shot: MMF's pinball movement

Red shooter: "always" count up to 200. When between 10 and 90, create a shot at that speed with gravity from 10 to 14.

Green shooter: "always" count up to 200. When between 10 and 40, create a shot with gravity 10 to 14, and speed=(distance in x coordinates from Juni to shooter/8)-13-(random number from 0 to 5)

Moving laser: Moves left at speed 8 until hits wall, then moves right at speed 16 until hits wall.

Square robot: Count down from 150. When at 0, reset countdown and place big glowing blue ball on one of these. Set one value of this to 1 or -1, and set the other to -3 or -4.

Big glowing blue ball: "Always" add first value to x position, add second value to y position, and add one to second value.

Black raining robot: Every 02"-00, move to either side based on Juni's relative position. "Always" countdown from 112. When countdown is less than 60, create a shot within 8 pixels of the object and set its gravity to 10 to 14.

Roller: Shoots every 48 "always"s. Shot moves at MMF speed 25.

Other robot: Path follower:

Black shooter: Every 00"-68, create a shot with gravity 20 to 22, and speed=(distance in x coordinates from Juni to shooter/10)-36-(random number from 0 to 2)

Thanks again  .

New Question!
BTW, Things are going more smoothly than I though  . Probably a Beta version (= all critters implemented, "all" KS <1.1 levels playable) will be released around December.

  - Thanks for helping me!

New question... again! 

BTW, Purple Pineapple, Looki, Kasran: Do you want to appear in the KSDS credits by your nicknames, or by your real names? (example of real name: Rodrigo/Ramon "rrc2soft" Roman)

If you want your real names to appear, send them to me on a PM  .

QUESTION 7:

Floor walking spitter: Every 01"-00, randomize flag. When on, randomly set speed from 8 to 12 and direction left or right. When off, set speed to 0 and countdown from 25. When countdown hits 0, and not walking, create 10 white bullets at a random floor walking spitter.

Floor spiking walker: Every 01"-00 randomly set speed to either 0 or 12. Every 04"-26 randomize direction.

Water spitter: Pick one and countdown from 150. When finished, reappear and animate from first frame. On frame 18 of animation, shoot 8 white bullets from \ to / of speed 20 to 59. When animation over, make invisible.

Floor spitter: When closer than 200 pixels to Juni, Change animation to "shooting." When "shooting," and Juni farther than 220 pixels, animate "falling." Every 00"-16 when shooting, create white bullet at random spitter, set direction from NW to NE, and speed from 30 to 59.

Ceiling spitter: When closer than 250 pixels to Juni, Change animation to "shooting." When "shooting," and Juni farther than 280 pixels, animate "falling." Every 00"-32 when shooting, create white bullet at random spitter, set direction from SW to SE, and speed from 0 to 19.

Floor ninja: Every 01"-00, toggle flag. When off, walk at speed 14. When on, stop moving, face player, and shoot ninja star from 22.5^O to 45^O. When shooting animation over, set flag off.

Wall ninja right: Always add "Y Speed" to y position. When hit wall, Set "Y Speed" to 0-"Y Speed" and move up or down twice "Y Speed" (to get out of wall) Every 01"-50, set "Y Speed" to 0 and shoot ninja star from 135^O to 157.5^O. When shooting animation over, animate "stopped," and set "Y Speed" randomly to 1 or -1.

Wall ninja left: Always add "Y Speed" to y position. When hit wall, Set "Y Speed" to 0-"Y Speed" and move up or down twice "Y Speed" (to get out of wall) Every 01"-65, set "Y Speed" to 0 and shoot ninja star from 22.5^O to 45^O. When shooting animation over, animate "stopped," and set "Y Speed" randomly to 1 or -1.

Black spiker: When not spiked, and random(100)=0, make random spiker blink. When closer to Juni than 110, spike. When further than 140, unspike.

White bullet: Pinball movement: Gravity 12, initial direction straight down. Destroy on collision with umbrella.

Ninja star: Pinball movement: Gravity 18, initial speed 80. Destroy on collision with umbrella.
