@info-creaticode I’ve tried, but it doesn’t appear when I ask it something. I’ve tried debugging and restarting the chat but it doesn’t work

@info-creaticode Will each sprite require their own variables or can you edit them to where {enemySpeed} and {TimeOnField} can affect individual enemies?

@info-creaticode So what I’m getting in simple words is, {enemySpeed}*{timeOnField}={totalDistance}, find the enemy with the highest total distance, and point towards that enemy?

If so, would you then put to variables labeled {firstX} and {firstY}, and use those as the direction the units need to aim?

@info-creaticode I mean the one that is ahead of the other enemies, and if there if one that gets ahead of the one that used to be in front, that enemy will become the “first” enemy

@info-creaticode Can you help me with making the units face the first enemy they see? They target the fastest right now because all I know how to do is target a specific unit, and if they kill that one they target a certain other, and so on and so forth

@tyller_, @jeffreyrb03-gmail,
Major update(s) for my test game, please check it out and tell me how it is.

@info-creaticode Nevermind I fixed it

@info-creaticode The instructions are in the actual game, since that version is the test room, so it doesn’t include instructions

I moved the test room’s download to the actual one, you should see the instructions in that one.

@tyller_ I mean when you click the sprite, a UI shows the upgrade and the upgrader button.

When I place the DJ, there is a hat sprite that is supposed to appear on the DJ, but instead this screen shows

Please help with this bug and what went wrong,
Thank you.

When upgrading units, do you apply a separate sprite to make the upgraded UI or would a widget be better?

@info-creaticode On the minigun and launcher units, their turning automatically points to the fastest enemy. I would like there to be a turning time that is slower than just automatically pointing at them.

I would also like to know how for units to point at the first enemy, not just the fastest one.

@info-creaticode https://play.creaticode.com/projects/6730fb66bf68856fe9840816

@tyller_ yes, but some units have heavier weapons like the mini gun, there-fore harder turning speed

@info-creaticode Yes but I need to target a continuously moving object.

@tyller_ Well, right now on my tower defense game, I need help with measuring if there are no enemies on the screen, then a trigger will happen where everything stops firing. It’s set up to where the enemies will keep firing forever if they sense an enemy, but it’s bugged to where the game will only sense “no enemies” when the wave ends.

Nevermind I fixed it

@tyller_ I tried, but I’m bad at the physics stuff. I work with the original category blocks.

Also, I need a visual on what you said otherwise it doesn’t make much sense to me anyways

There should be a rotation speed for the motion category when sprites point at objects that could potentially move. I think this would be an easy way for them to demonstrate top-down weight physics

@tyller_ How do you open that up? Also, can you give me an example for one of the sprites?

@tyller_ how would I do that, I’m still pretty inexperienced

@jeffreyrb03-gmail or tell me how to make clones actually work

@jeffreyrb03-gmail, I know, everything was just a test. Could you help me with making clones to each enemy so I don’t have to duplicate sprites over and over? Like on an actual round 1, I’m planning on having there to be more than 1 basic enemy and then on round 2 it would be more of them and then speed.

@jeffreyrb03-gmail, @Tyller_,
I’m not sure if this is a good animation to use. (Note, when an enemy comes into contact, they will take explosion dmg. I will make an explosion when they do come into contact with it)

I made a separate testing room so if you want to put your own units, enemies, and animations you are welcome to

Click the unit to see the animation

@jeffreyrb03-gmail The Minigun is my favorite

@tyller_ Okay thanks, I will explain the ones you have questions on. Make sure the questions are detailed please

@s9205307-810c679a It’s not 4:41pm

@jeffreyrb03-gmail I put Russian Roulette and it almost banned me

@tyller_ I have an issue where the units shoot the enemies even when they are not in range. How do you fix this bug? Also, how do you make the units shoot the first enemy they see and keep it that way?

@jeffreyrb03-gmail What’s your favorite unit so far? (I added a minigunner if you haven’t looked at it yet)

@tyller_ Also can you figure out why when “speed” enemy dies before “bolt” spawns, the units won’t attack the enemies?

@tyller_ can you share the project so I can look at your updates? I won’t copy until you say

@tyller_ And you’re not using your alt acct for this?

@tyller_ Also, what is your Creaticode username.

@tyller_ It is, but I’ve already updated and posted it. You might want to edit in that one

@tyller_ I updated his part already and put it in my testing room, so you might want to switch it out because I don’t think I even have the time to completely re-make a character onto an “older” version.

@tyller_ Okay, when editing the game, use my test room instead of Jeff’s so it doesn’t get all confusing.

Do you have any suggestions on enemies/units I could add? If so please list in detail. I’m not always that good at coming up with ideas.

@011830-0a42ef84 Have any updates?

@jeffreyrb03-gmail yo

@jeffreyrb03-gmail I read everything you did and it is a lot better than what I’ve done lol. I have one problem though, the units won’t fire at “bolt” after they killed “basic” and “speed.” I think that might be on you because mine works fine when I place all my units down.

Have any unit/enemy suggestions? If so explain them pls I would love to make them.

@jeffreyrb03-gmail Sorry I was away, lemme check

@jeffreyrb03-gmail How’s the progess going (I got bored)

@jeffreyrb03-gmail OK let me rename every sprite then

Ok they are all renamed and kind of explained

@jeffreyrb03-gmail Could you do that for the test and just send it to me? I would implement it in my project and credit you. I’m really only good at character design/animation, and how they shoot/move.

Also, do you have any enemy/unit suggestions? If so please list and explain it to me

I’m also planning on making moving units, as well.

@jeffreyrb03-gmail I changed it to “If touching color” still doesn’t work fsr tho.

@jeffreyrb03-gmail ok

@jeffreyrb03-gmail Yeah, I’ve been thinking about that. Would there have to be a boundary and it’s like
If “[{unit} is in {boundary}],” then
“don’t place”
?

@jeffreyrb03-gmail Ok, so you could be like my co-developer?

@jeffreyrb03-gmail Here’s the test room: I struggle with cloning. Think you can help with it?

Also, how do you think of the game overall?
