Gravity....

Look, lets say you have an odd number, 3. You need to find the middle of that number, so you do 3/2 which is 1.5, correct? Guess what, an odd number of pixels is going to do the same thing.

That's irresponsible. You should realize that when you do the calculation and use the appropriate calculations to make it an exact pixel coordinate rather than half. Well, on Graal, that's no big deal to leave it that way, as it's going to use the right coordinate for you regardless, but it's just bad to get in the habit of being lazy.

Granted I didn't notice that the number was in the middle of a pixel untill you said something, but it's not like I'm wrong.

I never said you were wrong about anything. I was pointing out the fact that you were saying the middle of the player is a half-pixel coordinate.

the position (playerx,playery) is at the top lefthand corner of the player, use playerx+1.5,playery+2 it's not exact (playery+1.96875 is right) but there is hardly a difference so it doesn't matter

onwall is a function

ack, I just noticed, don't use a while loop for that, use a timeout

okay... i'm looking that up in the npc scripting help that comes with graal.... so far i'm understanding it.

The players' onwall block is located 16 pixels (1 tile) down, and is 31 (an odd number) pixels deep. This information shows that the middle of the player is, in fact, 30.5 pixels (1.96875 tiles) down from playery. I have no idea what you are trying to argue with me about, since I thought I made it blatantly obvious I don't use that number. actually it appears you are spreading your platform, switching from argueing against the possibility that the middle could be a half pixel, and against using such a calculation in script, tut tut tut

I'm not arguing with you about anything. Everyone on the forums is obsessed with considering everything an argument, aren't they? Anyway, using a half coordinate in a calculation of any kind is going to produce an end result with a half-pixel coordinate anyway without further calculation to round it, so what ARE you talking about? If you don't use it directly in any calculations, what the hell is the point in knowing it? Well, if you were to double it, that would even it out, but um... if you did that, why divide it to begin with?

*doesn't consider this an argument, but whatever*

I remember doing this with an older version of graal and it worked fine. Did stefan/unixmad change that in a later release?

And I would like to know if anyone can help me
this is my code....

// NPC made by Stipo Swift -Leader- (Turtles)
if (created) {
falling = true;
}

while (falling==true)
{
playery = playery + 1;
sleep .05;
if (keydown(A))
{
playery = playery - 2;
if (playery > 60)
{
playery = playery - 2;
}
}
}

any suggestions?

have you got the gravity script with you? i may be able to help you solve it. i experiment with stuff like that. i made the tiles not be able to walk through once. could u tell me script i may be able to help.

Dude, don't post in threads that are more than a couple of weeks old.

I just felt for making a gravity script now...

EDIT: Maybe I should rather call it side-viewed graal?
