i would like to request a tutorial or a demo of how to make a mini-game "volley-ball"

everyone is probably know what a volleyball game is

You follow the ball and when the player touches it, it bounces back to the opponents court for the net issues you need to press for example the "z" button twice so it will increase your toss over the net and for the directions arrow keys will determine where the ball goes

when the ball goes out, you score a point

for enemies, it will be hard to make an AI for him XD

goodluck and hope you can help me

Idea! Ok im no master of anything but think about this, You know the event when you can make a char jump in differnt directions? Well thats just a char sprite right, so just change that sprite to a ball sprite and have it jump in the air whenever you come touch it, its a poor mans Volleyball right?

haha confused back there

a demo would be nice

So would some winning lotto numbers lol.

Just make a event, and have that event jump backwards when the player touches it. Got it? Then just edit the chat that is jumping to look like a vollyball.

hmm still haha ill try it then , ill tell ya the results later

Well, I've figured out most of it, and I'll try and post it here as I get all the event coding together. I used a girl as the opponent (my tribute to DOAX) Here's what I've got so far:


now that we know where everyone is...

And here's the common event:

then you copy/paste that to make the player's conditions. Just remember that the player (assuming he's on the left and she's on the right) has a positive X and the girl has a negative X. Speaking of the girl, I'm still trying to figure out how to get her to move towards the ball.
I'll post the coding for where the ball lands later.

could you post a video of you playing then? like you did with your other events?

No.

I could tell you how the perimeter is calculated, though.

haha im confused with it lol a demo? haha

If he was confused by my simple 3 step event you think he gonna understand all that? Even I didn't understand any of that lol.
Im telling you dude just make a jump char event and edit a char, its to easy man just play around with it and youll learn so much.

It's like when people post scripts. You don't need to understand it; it's written word-for-word, so you just copy it. Besides, I'd rather finish the rest of it beforehand.

No, because that's not going to work. I don't mind being proven wrong, but...
There's an option to go backwards, but it's only 1 step, and depends which way the char is facing. The jump command uses X/Y co-ordinates (backwards, I might add) and doesn't take into account which way the character is facing.
If you can figure out an easier event coding, I'd love to see it.

So? You need to be facing a ball to hit it??? just backwards head but that thing! If its possible its on the table dude lol, though unlikely you just proved my point that it would work.

ill try it copy em all then and see the results

....or you could just try out the demo.

Fair warning: there are a couple kinks in it, mainly the scorekeeping display. But, since I've only seen a handful of people who don't claim to be super-awesome at eventing, it shouldn't be a problem getting help with it around here.

yeah a demo haha been waiting for this im gonna check it out

Here's what I got


The only problem is you cannot change the jump speed. If so, I would be able to randomize the positions where it lands.

...you also apparently can't return the ball once it comes to you.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that a major aspect of volleyball?

True, but again, jump speed is a problem. And to just to a "move" command would be more like ping pong

On a side note, I'd like to submit both this and my meteor dodgeball for the Event list.

Make another topic for the volleyball. Your meteor one is in there under "M"

I'd like to know what the verdict on it is...good enough?
