Abigayl's Interactive Tutorials (Part 4)
by Joe (Updated on 2012-07-21)
Tutorial 4 - Mouse-based Shooting, Collisions, and HP
CHANGES TO CURRENT STENCYL VERSION:
- Game Center is now Dashboard
- Collisions Groups are now in the Settings button at the top of the page
- No longer need to make Actor Behaviors; use "Events" tab instead
- Now need to use “Add an Event” at the top left to make the headings
- If using events, do not need to "Attach to Actor" (still needed with Behaviors though)
- Collisions between Actors are now handled by collision events (use "Member of Group" and change the group to "Actors")
Liked this one? See them all!
Part 2: Attributes, Saving/Loading, Kongregate API
Part 3: Advanced Controls, Spawning
Part 4: Mouse-based Shooting, Collisions and HP
Part 5: Music, Screen Boundaries, Backgrounds, Power-ups and More
Part 6: Virtually Lagless Actors

Vinay, change the health of the player into a GAME attribute, and then you can use a scene behavior to create the HP bar (which stays in one place).

BTW, I rarely check any tutorial beyond part 1 (even part 1 is daily at best), so the best way to reach me with a question is via PM in the forum or in my livestream: livestream.com/poweredbyflowers

I plan on making an entire tutorial set for SW2.0. Instead of using an avoider game though, it will be based on a platformer.

Thx Abigayl
Will you be making some tutorial about events in 2.0 for us newbies later?
Or redoing these with events.
Would teach us a lot!
Thx again

To include for scrolling capabilities, you will likely have to add "x/y of camera" (Scene -> View palette) to your mouse x/y location or something similar (I have yet to work with that issue myself).
