Hello Gamesalad Users,

I want to know how can i make that my enemies in my SHMUP move in different ways, and not only like SPACE invader.

Also, how can i stop the scrolling while I'm fighting with the BOSS?

Thank you

    you'll need to provide more details of what you're trying to do. what sort of different ways?

    like coming from the top of the screen like an S movement.

    To stop the scrolling, make a boolean attribute called BossFight

    Then, on your scrolling background, put in a rule:

    If BossFight = false
    *put your scrolling stuff here*

    Then, when you get to the boss fight, change an attribute on the boss - BossFight = true

    That should do it.

    As to different movements, you could always try 'interpolate' to move them in different patterns, or look a the wavy movement demo.

    Good luck! I LOVE a good scrolling shooter :D

    you need to create those two attributes InitX and InitY on the actor (double click teh actor and then click the + sign to add an attribute):

    "two custom actor attributes of real data type.

    First start by creating two attributes for the actor which represent the initial coordinates of the actor, InitX and InitY."
