Vertical Screen Movement

[warpedpipe]

Im not sure if its possible yet in this version but ill ask anyway. I want to make something similar to Metroid where the player can explore rooms horizontally and vertically. How can I get my player to move to a screen that is above or below the current screen without dying?

In the "Bounds_Platform_Simple.asm" script, around line 192, you need to modify the "playerIsNotHurtForTopUpdate" subroutine, commenting out some lines, like this:

Code: Select all

playerIsNotHurtForTopUpdate:
	
	;;;; TO USE TOP AS A BOUNDARY, UNCOMMENT THESE LINES
	;;; == TOP IS A BOUNDARY
	;; LDA #$00
	;; STA Object_v_speed_hi,x
	;; STA Object_v_speed_lo,x
	;; LDA #$02
	;; STA temp
	;; RTS
	;;;;=======END TOP IS A BOUNDARY

And the same for the bottom, around line 160, you need to modify the "doScreenottomUpdate" subroutine, commenting out two lines, like this:

Code: Select all

doScreenBottomUpdate:	
	;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; THIS IS A PLAYER
	;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN.
	;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; IF YOU WANT HIM TO GO TO THE NEXT SCREEN DOWN, LIKE MEGAMAN
	;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; COMMENT OUT EVERYTHING UNTIL changeMapScreenDown
	;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; THIS CODE WILL CAUSE PLAYER DEATH AT BOTTOM OF SCREEN
	;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
		;; JSR HandlePlayerDeath
		
		;; RTS

Now, your player should be able to go to the screen that is above or below the current screen without dying

Do you know where the file is located?

Might be in the routines/userscripts/platform base/mainscripts folder.

Also, if you don't want all of the "holes" you fall through to lead down to the screen below,
You can use warps, otherwise just go with Dale's solution.
