I am going to be offline more than what I used to in CreatiCode. The reason why is because this site isn’t for me anymore and I’ve found more advanced gaming sites like Flowlab.io. Occasionally I will check back on my account and maybe edit some of my games. It’s been fun being here and I thank you all for the fun time.

@info-creaticode, can you help me on this, too?

Announcement

Hello everyone! Welcome to the first-ever Freestyle Gaming Creaticode Competition!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me, @TNG (or @info-creaticode if they become a host as well).

Only the top 3 games will win! Do your best and work hard! I wish good luck to everyone who participates!

@dreamsmp_luck I figured out the reason “Greener” doesn’t work. It’s because you didn’t add the UI sprite which is the base for all general gameplay. You need to have that

Also, I’m going to edit it a bit more to where it is smoother and add bonus content that I deem necessary

I think I know what he is referring to. I click certain blocks, and everything does freeze and all the blocks don’t work anymore. I try to press the flag and nothing happens either (also the flag does indicate that it has been clicked). I think it usually happens if you try to click the blocks inside the block storage and not the editing mode.

Also, when I’m playing the games, I’ve realized that the “when I start as clone” does not highlight when I do an action that’s supposed to highlight it, even though it still works. It does highlight, however, when I click it inside the editing mode.

@jeffreyrb03-gmail All UI bugs should be fixed now

I plan on making custom variable UIs if I have the time, right now I’m making a fishing game (similar to Roblox Fisch) with a friend.

@info-creaticode , more accurately, he has been posting pictures of plushies, that are not related to his coding, in almost every single post. It is getting annoying and makes it feels like his posts aren’t serious. Can you take action if this escalates or continues despite warnings?

@catty waht

@106809nes modes change the font and detail. I’m using a separate font from the original and the detail looked different

Can we have chats in the topics? Basically meaning that chat in topics like the original chat rooms.

@tyller_ The ground and bg line texture is a bit bright, could blend in with the blue.

@jeffreyrb03-gmail Yes, I use it on a separate computer so it won’t be blocked for me. If you have one too you can play it; it’s not supported on mobile.

@info-creaticode What if it is connected to general discussion? I’ve been hearing that you can make outside sources on that since it doesn’t;;t have to be on-topic

https://play.creaticode.com/projects/672e66b5731b37123597e815


How is this game?

@tyller_ If it isn’t a plug-in for a Chromebook, I’m pretty sure that is also blocked.

@info-creaticode I fixed it. Right now they target the fastest since I’ve learned how to do that. How do you make them target the first enemy? Also, is there anything I can add to make it smoother? This game is planning on being a wave game and there are only 3 units right now for development examples.

Edit: Click the white circle and type “/give” in the upper left for extra money. This is mainly to see what the revolver does.

Edit2: I’m also planning on adding an auto-wave start
Edit3: I made the optional wave start, but idling the characters is a bit difficult with the way I created the game. They do manage to kill the first enemy before the others spawn, so they idle the entire time and don’t shoot, so I had to time it. I think I found a way to get around it though. (Edit4: I did manage to fix it)

Edit5 : I’m also going to make an upgrader for the units along with placing multiples of the same unit.

note: you may need to click the flag a couple of times because the units or “start wave” don’t always work properly.

@jeffreyrb03-gmail Do you have a separate computer?

I understand it IS different, but is CreatiCode like more advanced?

@jeffreyrb03-gmail Here’s the test room: I struggle with cloning. Think you can help with it?
https://play.creaticode.com/projects/6730fb66bf68856fe9840816


Also, how do you think of the game overall?

@jeffreyrb03-gmail okay, cool.

It should have this as a cover

Do you have any other Flowlab games?

What do you need to do to get the “mod helper” tag and rank? I’ve been on this platform for a while now helping and posting (in) the forum. I’ve listed some important bugs and suggested a few ideas.

On the topic of this, I’ve noticed that I can no longer upload screenshots or images on here. Is this a bug, or did you remove this feature from the amount of spam/inappropriate content?

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

@jeffreyrb03-gmail Here is a screenshot from the chatgpt I use.
This site eventually stops the chat bot from talking

It also works as a challenge:

Though, once it think it “wins,” it keeps trying to play the game, which I think was dumb.

skBIDi sigama

@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”
?

There should be an option where the screen can shake
blocks should include these:

shake screen: it shakes screen until manually stopped

shake screen for any amount of time

Screen shake strength: sets how much force is applied to shaking the screen.

@tyller_ Yes, I tried going in to edit it and it did the same thing.

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

@jeffreyrb03-gmail, @info-creaticode, Yes, that’s what I was thinking. Maybe when moving the backdrop, there could be an option on whether or not the gap should be white or black.

I used AI for most of this, which helped much. Everything looks right, it just doesn’t work for some reason. could I get help with this?
https://play.creaticode.com/projects/672bd910731b37123596f24a

@jeffreyrb03-gmail ok

There should be an option where you can see the previous costume’s position on the costume you are creating, and maybe another layer before that.

Here’s an example:

@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

@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.

@catty It could have a picture of an object (most likely from Creaticode’s options for sprites) and can have multiple in the box, each one that’s behind it more and more transparent.

@info-creaticode
I typed in "how do you make variable on only 1 sprite, and it didn’t show

@jeffreyrb03-gmail OK let me rename every sprite then

Ok they are all renamed and kind of explained

When someone is typing, it should pop up on the “replied” section in the recent tab and inside the forum as well. It should say something like “{username} is typing”

@info-creaticode It also happens every time I load a new project

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

@info-creaticode

Here is my project for understanding my suggestions: https://play.creaticode.com/projects/674dfbf420756816c66001f5

I’m making a new game called “Skate Free,” which will have a lot of variables for tricks and stunts, and I’m a bit confused on how 3D works

Here are my issues:

• The impulse block doesn’t seem to work when I press it. I’m not sure how it works, but I set the Force to 100 with the direction and relative point set to 100 on Z

• I used code {forever set “SkateZ” to [Z position]}, with “SkateZ” being a variable. I used {Change Z by 100}, and the SkateZ variable went to 100, but when the skateboard went back down, the SkateZ variable didn’t change.

• this is also an issue when the skateboard falls off a platform. The SkateZ variable doesn’t change at all, but the skateboard’s position on the Z axis is supposed to change when it’s falling.

• When the skateboard jumps onto the green block, there’s a chance that the skateboard will flip and rotate weirdly. If it does manage to land straight up, the skateboard will rotate on the ground automatically. This is an issue for me.

• Can you also tell me when I do a fixed camera angle (so it follow and object), how do you make the camera’s follow speed delayed? I mean this as in when you rotate the object, the camera scrolling is slower than the rotation speed of the object.

I also have some suggestions for character animations:

• I see you’ve added a skate-crouch and skate-stand, but could you make a skate-jump, skate-push, skate-stand-to-crouch, skate-trip, skate-crouch-to-stand, and skate-grab? Here’s what I mean:

  • Skate-jump: I mean this by, instead of a regular big-full-jump, it does the same action but with a more slanted landing since the skateboard is a thin object.

  • Skate-stand-to-crouch and skate crouch-to-stand: It would just be like the normal crouch-to-stand and stand-to-crouch, but more slanted since it’s a skateboard

  • Skate-grab: This is where the person would do a grabbing motion for the skateboard. This would help with falling and being more centered.

  • Skate-push: When the skateboard moves, the person riding the skateboard will push the ground to accelerate the skateboard. The animation would also have to go down a bit to push off the ground since it’s being lifted by the skateboard.

  • Skate-trip: When the player hits a wall while skating (or other objects) There should be an animation where the skater loses their balance, but regains it.

I also have an idea for trick animations, but I would want to have an “ok” signal before doing so.

@tyller_ Can you explain that to me? I tried making the clones change costume but it doesn’t work

@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.

This certain block just does this

– I want to remain keeping this project a secret because I feel this is going to be my biggest project. –

When an object falls, how would you continuously update their X, Y, and Z directions and put it into variables so other sprites would know their direction?

I tried asking the Creaticode AI, but it kept saying to measure the direction variable by using another direction variable that doesn’t use the actual direction, which doesn’t make much sense to me

Also, I would like to know how to measure the speed on an object in 3D. Thank you

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

@info-creaticode I don’t think I can add that extension, but I would appreciate it if you could do this when you can.
