help making custom object - security wall for enemies!
« on: February 28, 2010, 04:39:31 »
Ahoy,
I have a puzzle in mind which requires security walls that can also stop enemies (those barriers that disappear when you press the orange or green floor-buttons) I just tested it out only to find that my security walls only stop me and not the enemies!  <_<
Can anyone tell me of either an existing item that acts the same as a security wall but also stops enemies or how to make a custom object security wall that also stops enemies passing through. :^^:

It doesn't exist.

how to make a custom object security wall that also stops enemies passing through. :^^:
Buy MMF2 for a few hundred whatever-your-currency-is, download and open the KS source, and program one yourself.
Lurk more.

Assuming you know how to make tilesets, and also assuming the enemies can't fly, make a 24X24 tile that is transparent except for one pixel in the lower left or right corner.  Put it on Layer 3, and Juni can simply hop over it.

I'm sure there is a better way, but I don't know what it is.:/

This only works for enemies on the ground that don't jump higher than 2 pixels. And no, there isn't a better way. Plus, as far as I can tell s/he wants the enemies to be able to pass through the wall when Juni de-activates it.

Blast.
I hoped it would be as simple as adding more code to the world.ini file, like with the animated custom objects. Those programs cost more than all my money :shocked:

Yes, this^ although that trick with the single pixel for stopping walking enemies is interesting ;)
Also I am a he :P



I was thinking, it would be good to have an object that was just two vertical lines of pixels, right on either edge of the 24x24 square, this could then act as a prison for the enemies which are released when Juni presses the button making the lines disappear C)

Is there really no way to do this without the expensive programs? No notepad option for us poor people?
