[b]December update:[/b] https://ragem.itch.io/rpm-rages-platform-movement-for-clickteam-fusion http://clickstore.clickteam.com/open-source/rpm_platform_movement The actual movement itself is $4.99, but you can download the movement demos and character assets for free. :cool: As of January 31, a LITE version is now available to download on the Itch.io link! Clickstore and MFGG versions coming soon-ish. (Don't worry, Neweegee was cool with his sprites being used for the demo examples. :V) [b]Shantae HTML5 Test:[/b] https://ragem.itch.io/rpm-shantae-test September Update: [b]Heads up. If you're reading this, the old engine source will no longer be available. The engine is currently under-going a transitional phase into a paid endeavor (now called RAGE Platform Movement)! The rest of the post shall remain unaltered for archival reasons.[/b] I've posted about this a few times in the WIP topic, but I feel like I should show you guys a [i]bit[/i] more. :) [b]Download Yoshi's Island Test:[/b] https://www.mediafire.com/?h7uu6g8tu5tnxr1 [b]Changelog:[/b] [spoiler][b]v1.11[/b] -Added the "[b]Animation Control Widget[/b]". This allows you to remotely disable animation groups and control animation speed, specifically if you're using behaviours outside of the engine events. -Added an "[b]Input Command[/b]" string to the Player Input Widget. This records the last inputs made by the player, allowing you to trigger certain actions when buttons are pressed in order. The Engine Control Widget has a new value called "Input Buffer", which controls when the input values should be cleared. To compliment this, you can set the mask to dash by double-tapping forward in either direction. Greninja Gaiden now has an Air Dash (Forward x2 in air) for Greninja and an alternative Razor Leaf input (QCF + Fire 3/Right Trigger) for Ivysaur. -Added a basic "[b]Start Position[/b]" Object. This simply places the mask wherever you put it, but will eventually be updated to factor in things such as checkpoints and whatnot. -Redid XSpeed to allow it to exceed XMax, and can be slowed back down through Deceleration (or another value of your choice). -Fixed an issue where the Walking animation wouldn't play if the Acceleration was higher or equal to XMax. [b]Yoshi Engine Test:[/b] -Added a Middle Ring in the middle portion of the level. Doesn't actually save your position yet, mostly to test the pause functions of the engine. -Yoshi can regenerate HP in the critical state if he stands completely still for a while. [b]v1.1[/b] -Added "[b]Move With Mask[/b]" group, which allows objects to move with the mask's X/Y Speed as well as Fastloops. This is ideal for any new detectors that will be added to the mask, or objects that move with the mask but still can be re-positioned separately. All detectors are now part of this group. -Added more scrolling options for the Master Camera object: [i]*Internal Flag 0 can toggle whether the camera will follow the mask or remain stationary. The camera can also use "[b]Screen Scrolling[/b]" when stationary, located in the Debug group. *The camera can now switch between the default "Smooth" scrolling and "Straight" scrolling (no easing). Straight Scrolling is ideal for using the Screen Scrolling effect.[/i] -Speaking of Debug, there's now a separate group specifically for Debug keys. -Updated the Pause system to allow the Player and other objects to be paused separately. Two new Alterable Strings and a new Flag were added to the Engine Control Widget: [i]*"[b]Freeze Player[/b]" locks the mask in place, but can still interact with other objects. *"[b]Negate Player Pause[/b]" allows the mask to move while everything is frozen. Internal Flag 101 will activate this effect. *[b]Pause is now done with Internal Flag 100[/b], which will activate Internal Flag 99 as before, but also disables "Negate Player Pause". This also lets you separate Pausing the game manually versus an event during gameplay.You may have to modify your Character objects to factor in the new Negate strings in their behaviours that deactivate their programming for pausing (See Greninja example, which assumes all will be used). *To compliment this, "[b]Hitstop[/b]" was added as value to the Engine Control Object. This will momentarily pause the action for a set amount of frames. Useful for adding extra umph to an attack.[/i] -Dash Speed now alters XMax (vs. making the Mask switch between the two), and can ease back to its original value with the Player Attributes object. -Reworked the Animation Template to use Groups. This makes it much easier to deactivate certain animations without having to modify the events itself. An additional "Animation Speed" group was added as well. [i]*A Rough animation template for Climbing was also added. The Engine Control object has a value to set the amount of frames the climbing animation as, so it can go forward and reverse. Not perfect but will be fixed up later on.[/i] -The Player Input Object was similary grouped for each input. -The Crouching group was modified to allow the player to Crouch Jump (i.e. They keep crouching while in the air.) A set of events can be enabled to use this effect. -Jump-Thru Collision was updated to factor in the YTop of a platform to allow "stacks", in addition to using the Ceiling Detector as another check. (See Greninja Example) -[Behavior Version] Placed basic animation slots in the Group.Player object. You couldn't check any additional animations that were playing in the group aside from Stopped due to an artifact from an older version of this engine. (It was event editor only.) -Fixed an issue were a Jump-Thru Slope would only work if the hotspot of the Floor Detector was moved down while walking from a flat platform. -Fixed an issue where the mask would be set "On Ground" before physically landing on a Jump-Thru Platform -Fixed an issue where the mask could potentially lose jump height if the player jumps just after landing. -Fixed an issue where the mask could jump before landing if Ground Detect was set high enough, -Fixed an issue where the Camera could shoot off into oblivion if the RS on the XBOX controller is moved while paused. -Additional code optimizations and re-did a few comments. [b]v1.01[/b] -Added the option [b]Aerial Momentum[/b] to the mask. When activated, the mask will keep its forward momentum even when you don't hold foward. This actually was already present in the Yoshi's Island test, but it was hard-coded and I forgot to transfer lol :V -Added Water to the Greninja Gaiden example, which includes two modes: [b]Sink To Bottom:[/b] The mask will fall down to the bottom of the water, and you use the Jump button to go up [b]Float To Surface:[/b] The mask will float up to the surface automatically, and you hold Down to submerge. The water object is Behavior-Based so you should be fine plopping it into another part of the engine. -Cleaned up a couple of events. Yay.[/spoiler] The only required extensions to open the file are the XBOX Gamepad object and Text Blitter, which you can download from the built-in Extension Manager. Long story short, I've been out of the loop for roughly 6 years now. I got my hands on Clickteam Fusion 2.5 during a Steam sale a while back, and decided to give this stuff another try (especially since I kinda want to make an original game someday). The biggest obstacle was trying to learn all of this stuff again, since I kinda forgot a bunch of stuff over time. :P I've opted to go for a more flexible route this time, making a single Fastloop platform engine that can be modified into whatever else without much hassle (...yet). The essentials were crammed into a single object, with little widgets being created to expand on it. I know you can use the Platform Movement Object, but...I always preferred making my own thing, really. :V So, my first test is to replicate Yoshi's Island style movement: [b]Screenshots:[/b] [spoiler][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/22848989/newscreen1.png[/img][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/22848989/newscreen2.png[/img][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/22848989/newscreen3.png[/img][/spoiler] Admittedly there's not much to do in it right now, aside from testing his movements / breaking the engine. There's a few noticeable issues such as missing effects/animations, wonky egg physics on moving platforms, de-syncing metronome, shaky cam, and the occasional "jammed in scenery". They'll be taken care of down the line. :P The engine natively supports the XBOX Controller, but I'll get regular joypad support in there soon.

[s]oh my god is this who i think it is whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa[/s] For some reason, I can't unzip the folder. So the demo isn't working. A bit odd, I was looking forward to trying this.

I realized I got an error when I tried something other than 7-Zip, so it should work now...hopefully. :X

Works fantastically so far, moonjumping and squish-head sliding across a roof is my new favourite thing. Pretty awesome you even got things like rotating platforms to work. You're my new CTF2.5 hero.

[quote="Kritter"]Works fantastically so far, moonjumping and squish-head sliding across a roof is my new favourite thing. Pretty awesome you even got things like rotating platforms to work. You're my new CTF2.5 hero.[/quote] Thanks d00d! Getting those rotating platforms to work properly was a pain in the ass though. :P The general idea is to take the difference between the platform's X/Y in the previous frame compared to what it is now, and apply the difference towards the player. Problem is that Fusion had the tendency to over-shoot the position, or if it did work it wouldn't line up properly if you paused it. Or if you inexplicably put two rotating platforms that pass through each other, you launch into orbit. Ultimately I had to fastloop it and make it immune to pausing (mostly), and Fusion said ok. :V

This is pretty neat! You should totally release the source someday, even if it is just the generic platformer portion without all the Yoshi stuff. I could learn a lot from this, haha.

I could learn a lot from this, haha.[/quote] oh hai TD long time no see! If I do release the source, the only thing I intended to give out was the basic movement itself. I was thinking at least throw in a few basic examples on how to add stuff on top of it, but something like the Yoshi's Island thing would only exist to show what can be done with it. I can't do [i]everything[/i] for ya. :P [ispoiler]...perhaps this could serve as a basis for a potential fangame, too.[/ispoiler] As it now all you have to do is put your character into a certain group, and all of the basic animations/movements/camera are already done for you. You don't need to copy pasta a bunch of events since everything is contained in the Mask object itself (which was only possible by abusing a quirk with Fusion's group naming). I wanna clean up the events, write better comments, and develop a couple more "tests" before I release it out into the wild.

It would be really cool though to see a Yoshi's Island fangame, I don't know if there's ever actually been one on MFGG, let alone one with a really good engine. Just leave Baby Mario at home so we don't have to deal with his whining. :whoops:

This is quite a nifty Yoshi's Island engine. It's one of the best YI engines I've seen. I'd love to see more Yoshi fangames on MFGG - Jeorge535 is the only other MFGGer I know of to be working on a YI fangame.

Now that I was able to try this out- It's pretty good! I'm looking forward to what you do with this.

It's freaking incredible You should definitely make a fangame with this. Especially if you eventually wanna make a full on indie game, finishing a whole Yoshi game wouldn't be a waste of time at all. I mean you've already developed such an awesome engine... You'd be used to it again, even more experienced, and more ready to take on a bigger project.

It feels like just yesterday you were tossing Bowser down stairs and telling everyone you were gonna go get a gun and shoot the guy who stole your TV. :') It's pretty cool, but I notice a major flaw: Yoshi has no parabola. That is, when you let go of jump, he immediately drops down at full speed. I'm not sure how you're calculating his full jump height, but what I generally do is set Yoshi's state to identical to when he's at the top of his jump and set any apex value to his current Y position. This causes him to immediately stop but still accelerate down, making short hops much more intuitive.

The way jump height works is when you let go of jump early, it applies your default gravity times a "Jump Release" variable, which stays in effect until you reach a certain speed (based on 50% of your max jump strength). You can see how it works in the "Base Engine" frame. Jump Height is completely disabled if you set the value to 0. Yoshi does fall relativity quick in Yoshi's Island if you let go early, but I could've overdone it. Nothing a small value change can't fix. :P Thanks for the comments folks! The idea of a potential Yoshi fangame has been bouncing around in my head for a little while, which is kinda why I chose YI as a first test. Nothing's really set in stone so we'll see. :V [ispoiler]I'm still gonna shoot that asshole who stole my TV though. >:[[/ispoiler] EDIT: Looking at it again, I'll probably end up changing how Jump Height works. It's somewhat limited on how varied the height can be the lower the Release value is. Yoshi is still prolly gonna fall like a rock anyway. :P DOUBLE EDIT: Decided to add a new "Jump Height" modifier, which required changing how jumping works. Now when you hold jump, your Jump Speed will stay the same until Jump Height reaches whatever value set. Jump Release is still there to make you fall faster if needed. It'll be uploaded properly when I get more junk in.

I love this, but can I ask you why? Why the HP is so big and not mention it's spot on top right on 1 and 2 screenshot, and why it was placed in top and left in third screenshot? But, keep up good works for this fangame! ;)

[quote=".:|CamTro|:."]I love this, but can I ask you why? Why the HP is so big and not mention it's spot on top right on 1 and 2 screenshot, and why it was placed in top and left in third screenshot? But, keep up good works for this fangame! ;)[/quote] It moves based on where Yoshi is located on the screen. The countdown timer in the normal games works like this. The HP is big because I never bothered to make it any smaller when I first started. :D It can all change at any time though.

I was just surprised at how flawless the movement felt. It really does feel almost exactly like YI. You better show us screenshots if you decide to do anything more with it :D

I was making a YI game :( but after seeing this I lost motivation. Seriously this is amazing! Good work :biggrin:. good luck on this! [ispoiler]I'll probably still work on my YI game as I got my motivation back xD The more Yoshi Island fangames the better![/ispoiler]

So anyways I totally didn't forget about this. I just kinda...re-did 90% of the engine. :whoops: Essentially I made a new collision system that can be modified on the fly during runtime, and streamlined most of the other events to be a little less complicated. I've updated the original post with a link to the source of the engine itself, which includes a separate example I was working on aside from the Yoshi's Island example. Neweegee made some pretty nice looking Pokemon sprites and had to try them out on something. :P Pretty sure the engine probably still has a few bugs in there, so let me know what you can find. I'll probably submit this to the main site pretty soon too. :V Ss uh like have fun and junk and give credit if for some reason you actually like it and use it and yeah

This is stellar! That greninja demo is especially fluid and nice. I could quite easily work with this as a base. Will you continue to work on this, say adding things like Warp Pipes or other typically Mario-like things? I assume adding other things like breakable blocks and whatnot wouldn't be too difficult.
