What does this Event do? Well, simply put, it fires randomly placed rocks (or whatever) at people. Good for stuff like missile barrages or rocks rolling down hills.

You're going to need, um, a bunch of stuff, actually. In this case, the rocks are moving left to right, so the map is more wide than high; mine was like 100x13 and it's important to remember that later on.

XY tracker
basically, it tracks where the rock is. Very useful.
Parallel process, below players, no graphic.
Control variables: 1 - rock 1's map X
Control variables: 2 - rock1's map Y

The Rock
same as characters, speed: 4xfaster, freq: highest, custom move route: move right, repeat action, event touch- Game over (or damage of some kind)

Distributor
This is going to be a pain to describe. It's a parallel process event, below characters.
It checks if the rock has crossed a "finish line", then puts it back at the "start" in a random position.
The X/Y of the "finish line" was at X25 with the Y Co. being between 0 and 12, therefore the "finish line" runs from 25/0 to 25/13, while the "starting line" runs 0/0 to 0/12. Okay, so:
condition branch: variable 1 = = (equal to) 25
> condition branch: variable 2 > = (greater than or equal to) 0
-> control variables: 1 - 1 (remember where I said the starting line was)
-> control variables: 2 - random (0....12)
->set event location: rock1 - variable 1, 2
branch end
branch end


You have to create a condition branch like the one above for each rock, along with it's own variables. I had 5 rocks and it took up 10 variables.

[Show/Hide] To make my signature smaller

[Show/Hide] Koroshite Gakuen - Paused - lack of inspiration


Koroshite Gakuen means Killing in the School, and my current project is finally gonna be the first game i complete.

As for plans, i have though of the chat options, full screen, menu and might a diary, and a phone system.

The game is based on a girl, still unnamed, and it's a day at the high school where they play mafia.

Mafia is a game where a few is selected to be mafia, and a a couple selected for detectives. The rest is innocent, and the mafias touch them and tells them their dead, and they eventually lie down, sit down or go to a certain room. Now, the detective can then go to them, and the dead guy will tell them one thing that can describe the murders appearance, but no names, and no one else knows what that guy told the detective. Either the mafia kills all, or the detective catches the mafias, and the game ends.

Now, the plan is that there happens an actual murder at the school, there isn't cops in the town, and there isn't enough resources to send more than one police officer, which can't figure out much. So as the police officer doesn't do too much, you decide to take it up yourself, track down the murder.

I don't feel like telling more as it kind of spoils it, but i can say that I'm still at the mapping, and i try my best to make them look as good as possible, as I'm a horrible mapper.

Decent art artist?

I could really use some help for some of the graphics for character faces, and eventually a few character pictures c:



I love to write stories, if you're stuck on your games story, i might be able to help :)

It all depends when the projectiles go back to the starting line; if you just have to avoid one volley and you're home free....so I added in some heat-seeking missiles for some added excitement.

Why would it require a demo? It's an object moving in a straight line. tongue.gif
Here's me trying to play it:
