I tried looping it but it still gets cut at a certain point. Anyway, It works fine now. I've solved it by converting the audio file to a different sample rate. ;D 0 3 days, 13 hours ago Abigayl Did you make sure to LOOP the sound instead of just PLAY it? 0 4 days, 6 hours ago nonsense021 Hi! First of all, I'd like to thank Abi for this awesome video guide. It really helps newbies like me. But I've encountered a problem just recently. I tried placing background music at one scene. It runs fine when I test it but when I published it to .swf, the music suddenly stops at one point. What could be the cause of it? 0 6 days, 7 hours ago Abigayl Vinay, your question is confusing... why does hitting a bullet kill all of your actors? Perhaps it would be easier if you came to my livestream to ask in person: livestream.com/poweredbyflowers 0 1 week, 4 days ago vinayakpandey Thnx Abigayl but this time I am a facing another problem. How to kill all the enemies when a bullet hits an enemy using using for each actor of type block. I am unable to do so in stencyl 2.0 and waiting for your help. 0 1 week, 5 days ago jintrigger This was one of the best tutorials for anything....I skimmed through it since Im too tired at the moment to do those things myself, but for a tried individual who just skimmed the tutorial, I learned a lot! 0 1 week, 6 days ago Abigayl Vinay: That is covered in tutorial 5. CrimsonThunder: Recycled actors have issues of their own. In 1.4, I tested them and found them to be MORE laggy... I have heard that 2.0 does a better job with them, but for me personally, I am not going to use them given all of the quirks I ran into... had to basically scrap a game once because they screwed it up so badly. 0 2 weeks, 2 days ago CrimsonThunder Would it make more sense for the enemies to be recycled? I read up a bit that they are a lot easier on the lag. 0 2 weeks, 2 days ago vinayakpandey how to avoid the player leaving the screen? I have followed your tutorial but the problem is that the player is able to leave the screen. please solve this problem 0 2 weeks, 4 days ago Abigayl Blorph, it's now under "Add Event" (on the left side of the screen), under "Collisions". You may need to change things around slightly so it works for you, but the idea is the same. 0 2 weeks, 4 days ago 123NextLast Commenting Guidelines Sign In to Comment
