walking on walls

[YotamElal]

I want my character to walk on a wall.

I made view of my character walking sideways.
the program doesn't understand where my characters feet are>..... : o (
is there a way to tell it?

I want his feet on the walkable area and not his stumach. : o (

I'm afraid that's not possible without intensive scripting, and that may still not be enough...

Check the manual for SetCharacterViewOffset().

The easiest solution is by indeed putting the walkable area on his stomach, but that simply means the walkable area is not where you expect it to be. Shouldn't be too hard with a bit of switching between walkareas.

But then again, if you want to scale the character... you are in trouble right?

Would it be handy to add a Direction option to area scaling (Default (down-up),  left-right, right-left, up-down)?
Perhaps not the most needed ever...

[YotamElal]

I tried SetCharacterViewOffset & It doesn't change the view at all...
even when I put right before it releasechararacterview
:o(

I don't understand the last reply with the scaling & direction?¿?

please someone...

[Radiant]

The scaling can be covered by putting a SetCharacterScaling or SetAreaScaling in rep_ex.

If you put ReleaseCharView right after a SetCharView, then that will cancel it.

This is actually relatively difficult to accomplish ... the easiest way is simply to draw the walkable area based on the character's stomach position, though this can be confusing to draw.

Heh. What if I were to tell you I have done this for my SQ2 template? : No mouse support, of course, but... I'll release it together with my other templates when 2.7 get oficially released, so stay tuned.

I took the original pics and made them twice the (width)
I moved the character to the right of the picture.
His feet are now in the middle of the picture.
Problem solved.
He's walking on walls.
:o)

[YotamElal]

the walking spot is at the bottom middle so the character can only walk on his head.

Are overlapping walkable areas on the tracker?

[strazer]

Layered walkable areas would significantly change the way the walkalbe area systme works, so I don't think it's really viable to do. The workaround is as Hellomoto suggests.

Anyway, I've added the original suggestion to the tracker.

Actually, to make this easier, you could import your character upside down for the ceiling, and sideways for the wall. Then put different walkable areas on the walls and assign the certain type of view for it in the little box that says change view for this walkable area.

Basically, just import your walking animation sideways going up, sideways going down, and upside down. Then assign different views for the ceiling and the left and right walls. It should come out fine.
