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")

Part 3: Advanced Controls, Spawning
Part 4: Mouse-based Shooting, Collisions and HP

Dais, I might include that in the second tutorial set when SW2 comes out. Using swords comes down to two basic ideas: animations and collisions. If you can handle the animations, then it's just a matter of killing (or wounding if using HP) enemies upon contact. It's a bit more complicated than other game genres, but it's still reasonable. Can always come to the livestream if you want some direct help if you have specific questions.

Thank you!
The trigonometry part was very helpful and easy to understand, but I had no clue at all how to do it before watching this so thank you.
The part with the healthbar was also nice.
