A Few Questions

[CronoStorm]

Now, before I post, I'd like to point out that I used the search and answered a few of my questions already.

Question A

I'm making a side-scrolling game, and it plays somewhat similar to old-school MegaMan games. What I want to do, is make it so when a player jumps and touches a wall, if he holds in that direction, he can slide down the wall. While sliding, hitting the jump button can make you jump a little higher, and you can then re-grab the wall, effectively letting you scale walls.

On that note...

Question B

How can I decrease jump height and run speed, permanently?

Question C

And finally, I wish to change the HUD. I've seen a few things on it around, but nothing matching what I need. I need to move the life to the left side, most of the way up the screen. The idea behind it is to make it a 'cannister', something that drains as you take damage and fills as you regain health. Something like this:

Its the best comparison I can find.

Again, though I'm taking a few ideas from MegaMan, its all pure inspiration, and the game will be 100% mine. Once I'm finished, I'd be happy to upload the game for you guys to distribute as you please.

Megaman rocks!!! Have you used the sidescroller yet? For #1 that doesn't sound that easy but I wonder if some kind of material was created if that would help. It would be almost like a ladder but respond to jumping instead.

#2 You could either go into the sourcecode and change the default values for movespeed and jumpvelocity or whatever hirato has it now (I'd just do a text search for movespeed and jump) or you can change it in the map.cfg and do it per map. You could also put it in the cfg for whatever game mode you're using aka the sidescroller.

#3 You'll have to do a text search for the hud stuff in the source code. When we get water wars better in gear which requires a hud I think that will help you a lot more. Also you could look at the hud code hirato has for his RPG and also in Master Chef Ogro. Take care.

Thanks for the quick replies, guys. While none of you answered my questions directly (except Question 2), you've given me a few ideas. Hopefully someone will visit this thread and offer a little more assistance.

I may make a W.I.P. thread and update it as I go. However... I dunno if I should do so. This forum seems to be for the kids, and my game may have some cartoon violence in it (what with laser swords and beam guns and ION cannons and all).

For question 3 i think there a thread around for that i think you can ermm let me look

[GR1M]

There is one, you have to be 18 to enter. But most of the population mostly flows through the original forums.

[klimyriad]

You do not have too be 18 to go Pas net you need parents permission or are you talking about something else

[CronoStorm]

I'm 18, going on 19 in July. Link to thread? If it will help me with the HUD I'd be glad to look.
