Planet Gravity Help
I am making a game where a character is on a planet (circle)
and I want him to be able to walk around the border of the planet.
Kind of like "Super Mario Galaxy" for the Wii but in 2D.
Ive already made my character able to walk and jump using the
arrow keys.
But I dont know how to make it so the gravity is in the
center of the planet.
I also want my character to rotate while he walks so his feet
are always touching the planet.
If my question is not very clear please tell me and I will
try to make it make more sense :)
Thank you for your time,
rbr1234
P.S. I have been trying to figure this out for a couple hours
now. Ive looks for tutorials all over the web but I cant find
anything that is any good. This forum is my last chance at making
my game. So I am truly thankful for your help.
Hello,
So say your left arrow key plays the animation that makes
your character walk foward and the right arrow key makes him walk
back? Why not control the rotation property of your planet
movieclip with the left/right arrow buttons also. The character
movieclip doesn't move at all - only the walk animation and the
planet rotating.
If I had to do something like that I would code up something
like the script below.
Bare in mind the code assumes the following
1) That the character movieclip is a self-contained movie
with frame names walkFoward, walkBackward, jumpSequence that
contain animations on it's stage that show those actions.
2) The planet movieclip has it's registration point in the
center.
3) That only the LEFT, RIGHT, and SPACE keys are used to
control the animation.
4) That the character mc is positioned right along the edge
of the planet mc so as to sell the effect of the character walking
along the planet surface.

hello I'm not sure if this question has been asked be four but I really need help I bought the Mass Effect skin pack on LittleBigPlanet 2 when I did this it said it was compatible with LittleBigPlanet 3 but when I go to the store it says not available and its been saying that for the past 6 months not really sure what I should do
I'm having the same problem. In the in-game store, it's showing that I need to pay for it again, but on the store from the PS4's main menu, and the store on my PC (see pic) there is a FREE version being shown alongside the paid one. Every time I try to download it, I get an error. This is extremely frustrating, and there is no way I'm paying for the same content twice.

Disc Drive is Not Working!!! Help!!
Hi: I have a disc stuck in my drive . There's no disc icon displayed and the eject button is not working. When I restart my computer I don't hear any sounds of the CD spinning. What do I do? My iMac is only 6 months old. Please help
When you restart the computer, have you held the
mouse button down (not sure with mighty mouse) ?
This should try and eject a disc in the optical drive.
Also, an application such as iTunes has an eject
button. Could be the disc is inside the drive wrong
and maybe it is backwards; with no data readable.
Some users have tried the eject, and tipped the
entire computer on its side, so the optical drive
slot is facing down; so as to get a gravity help.
You'd need to be using a USB wired mouse,
since a BlueTooth wireless one won't work.
Could be there may be an obstruction in the way
of the optical drive slot; maybe some small bit
of felt or other material in the drive opening from
when it was assembled. You should contact the
AppleCare support people to see who you would
take that into for a repair or replacement part.
There are some ideas on how to eject a disc
in Apple Help inside the computer; if you click
and make sure the Finder is the desktop you
are looking at, in the upper menubar, use Help.
Key in something such as Eject CD or cd eject,
a list of things to try should be among the results.
You could try and see if using Disk Utility (in
Utilities folder -- see GO in Finder, click on
Utilities Folder in here, find Disk Utility, launch.
Choose to eject the disk in the optical drive here.
(May also repair disk permissions, too.) Then Quit.
{The computer may need some expert attention,
as a few of these have had some disc issues;
as indicated by a search I just did online, and
Apple Discussions forums listings tell this tale.}
A good investment, before the first year of owner-
ship has passed, buy an AppleCare Extended Plan.
Be sure to enroll the plan, too, before the first year.
Good luck & happy computing! -
IBook wont give back a CD- please help.
I have an iBook G4 and I put in a CD, and it refuses to give it back.
It makes the little sounds that it does when it ejects a CD normally, but nothing comes out, and I know its in there.
I tried booting up holding the clicker down but nothing happened, and I tried to reset the PRAM but I dont think that the PRAM actually reset, and at this point I'm not sure what to do.Hi.
The stuck CD on iBooks is not uncommon; it's happened twice to me already. So you should not get out the crowbar and the blasting caps.
What seems to work for me is to power down the iBook completely, then power up again while holding down the trackpad button. Just restarting may not work.
Another possibility is to hold the iBook on its side and hold down F12, letting gravity help you. You also shake the iBook gently. I have not tried this method, but many people recommend it.
There are other tricks, but you may want to get someone knowledgeable about Macs to help you with them.
Good luck. -
Strange problem .. hope somebody here has a clue .. .. ..
I have an older model BEFW11S4 Wireless Access Point that has worked flawlessly until recently. For no apparent reason, it seems to be blocking my access to Newsgroups (using Charter cable service). Any program I use to access newsgroups (Netscape/Outlook Exp./Agent/Planet Gravity) responds with an EROR 480 - filure to authenticate. I have never had this happen before. Charter was no help at all, so I decided to try removing the Access Point to see what would happen .. .. everything works just fine !! !! I reset factory defaults - same problem .. reflashed the bios - same problem .. I don't have a clue why I can't get to my newsgroups if I'm connected to this thing !! H-E-L-P
thanx .. .. ..hi , here is what i have found for the error 480 --
Error: 480 Authentication Required
This usually means your newsreader software is not properly configured with your Newsfeeds username and password.
Solution: Please check your configuration to verify that your username and password have been entered into the appropriate fields.
if this is not the issue , in that case u will have to forward ports for the NNTP server ...port # 119 TCP.... -
Unable to load OSX Tiger after powercut during software update
My Imac G5 (purchased September 2005), running OSX Tiger, was in the middle of a software update when we had a powercut. Now, when you turn it on, it gets as far as the blue screen with the grey Mac OSX box and status bar (after the grey screen with the spinning dial), but no further. The status bar does not move and I cannot get it to safe boot. If I hold down the shift key after the start up tone, then the fans come on and it takes a little longer to go past the initial grey screen, but once again stops when you get to the blue screen and status bar. Also, my install discs have disappeared off the face of the planet. Help!
Boot it from your install CD/DVD...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
If it completes fine, then use the Archive and Install feature...

Best laptop for streaming a slingbox
Hello,
I currently live in china and have a dell inspiron 1525 duo core processor and plan to set up a slingbox in the usa to stream hd tv.
So, I plan to have slingbox in the usa and stream it over to china recieving it on my laptop.
Is my computer capable of doing this with quality? Is there another laptop out there that will be better? Are there upgrades I can buy for my Dell?
Any information would be great

To my knowledge, the Slingbox can only encode standard definition output (the ones that support high def input downscale it to SD before encoding), so that machine should be more than fast enough.
HOWEVER there is the question of whether you'll be able to stream across the Pacific reliably, especially through the Great Firewall of China. No laptop on the planet will help you if you are limited by network connectivity problems.

}this are my last two questions about color! Then I posted this messages I would make an edit tag, but I cannot find it in the editor! now I have copied it without a problem and marked as code! I liked to edit my messages, but the editbutton is gone! -
I shoot in 720p 50. When applying slow motion, say 25% or 10% the result is far from good. I have tried to use normal, frame blending and optical flow. And the optical flow gives the worst result. It is difficult to describe the result in other word than extreme blurriness and bizarre movemets. Is this something that FXPX can not handle or I am doing something wrong ?
Rotoscoping is the art of making i.e. a Bird flying accross the sky, stand alone... What I mean is that it will in this case leave you with two layers of movies (Or two movies)
Imagine duplicating the clip I am describing above, twice... One is lying in the main timeline and its duplicate is lying directly above it. Both clips identical.
Now, we'll "mask out" the background of the above clip. So that if we solo the that clip you would see all black(Depending on your movie background (The black is actually transparency) and then the bird flying accross the screen. In the clip below we'd "Mask out" the bird and replace its place in the film with content from it surroundings (Much like clone stamping in photoshop) ... In the end and if the clip above (with the bird only) had a carefully created mask, we'll have the bird on one layer and the background on the other.....
(IF it was a steady shot thus not panning, craning or sliding) we could create a clean-plate of the background and just have that sitting as a still image while the bird is flying)
Anyway, now we can apply optical flow to the bird and if the mask is tight, the most motion blur will have vanished and our result is great looking... Now there might be a few places with optical flow artifacts... But then we'd just mask those out as well ;-)
This level of masking (Rotoscoping) cannot be done in FCPx -- you would use After Effects for such or motion... However, AE is much greater for such (in my opinion at least ;-)))
In above case, I would problably wind up with MUCH more than 2 layers of video. More like 50... The clip I wrote about in my earlier post had about 500 ;-))))
Rotoscoping is vast and great... And it is more of an art than a technique. Basic rotoscoping would be to apply a mask to a man's sweater and keyframe it to fit the motion... Then alter its hue or tag a big sign saying "Rotoscope Me" on his chest..
Possibilities are endless ;-)))
Mocha Pro which is a planer tracker is the best tool on the planet to help one automate the "Masking & Tracking" & it comes free in special version with After Effects.
hope this helps ;-) -
Introduce yourself to the community!
Hey all,
This thread can be used to introduce yourself to the community. Just say hello or maybe even add a little bit about yourself. Whatever you feel comfortable with I'll start it off I'm Yannick, I joined Telstra in July, but have been lurking around for quite a while now. I'm the community manager here at CrowdSupport so should you have any suggestion or need anything, don't hesitate to give me a shout!
So that’s a bit about me and I am looking forward to seeing you all in the forums soon!
Yannick Pierre in Melbourne
Telstra Digital Sales & ServiceHi Everybody!
I'll start the introduction ball rolling with an introduction of myself: my Earth name is Dylan, and this the first time I've ever used the word "introduction" so many times in a sentence. I have been sent here from my home planet to help you use these forums in the most efficient and effective way possible. I am well versed in a number of languages including English, and some others that I can assure you aren't made up. I have been working at Telstra for nearly four years now, helping customers via phones, email and live chat before a year ago joining our Social Media team and talking to you via Twitter, Facebook and Whirlpool where I have learnt all sorts of new acronyms.
My job here will be to moderate the forums, review flagged posts, and occasionally to step in and join the conversation every now and then when it is needed. I'll do my best to help in any way that I can. But that's boring* so let's talk about me.
I love a good game, and spend most of my spare time attached to my PS3 playing NBA 2K11, and have been playing the GTAs ever since the very first overhead view one. I'm still plugging away with an iPhone 3GS that is starting to get a bit long in the tooth, but is still probably the best mobile phone I've ever used. I have been a Port Adelaide since before I can remember (or at least I'm told that). I look forward to seeing you on the forums, although if I have to delete something you've said then I obviously won't be looking quite as forward to that. I really thought you were above that <shakes head>.
See ya round!
-Dylan
*Not a guarantee that the next bit will be less boring. -
I cannot eject the CD I inserted. I have tried the eject button and also clicked the "eject disc" on the on the window that comes up. I hear the whirring noice and sound comin from the disc drive but the disc won't come out. The first time this happened I took my computer to CompUSA and the technician did some simple use of key strokes but I did not write down what he did. Now it is happening again. Isn't this a malfunctioning computer?
Thanks for any help.It worked! I laid down my computer flat on its screen, pressed the eject button in the upper right corner of the keyboard and the disc came out.
Thanks for helping and thank you to everyone else!
I wonder, though, whether I should get the optical drive replaced since this is the second time this has happened. BTW, could I be inserting the disk the wrong way? I inserted it with the label facing toward me.
Thanks again
Hello...a couple other things to try if the eject
mechanism is unable to grab the disk....
Lay your iMac screen down on something soft...let
gravity help position the disk...then eject...
You can also try to 'squeeze' the corner of the iMac
that contains the disk drive...while trying to eject
good luck dave -
Help help help Please.
The only phone I used every since was a Nokia. I bought an E5 in November and ever since cannot setup any other email accounts. Gmail works fine....... I have tested my email account with another phone NOT a Nokia and could setup my email account perfectly .. .........
Can NOKIA or anyone on the Planet please help!!Are you using Nokia Messaging? email.nokia.com
If so, I found I couldn't even set up my GMail account using the phone (there is an option to add an account with the latest firmware but it doesn't work at all).
So - I did a hard reset (something you'll have to get used to with this phone) and set the accounts up online. It didn't work, and I was so fed up with it I just left it for a few days.
After 2 or 3 days of doing nothing it just started working and has mostly been OK since then. Quite surprised me at the time - all of a sudden all my email accounts popped up on the phone!
If this doesn't help then I suggest you return it to the shop as soon as possible. You've made a mistake getting this phone if you want it for email or any kind of messaging. It's not even great at making calls (sometimes hangs when you try to answer a call, and can be unresponsive for quite a while after you end a call which is annoying if you just want to put the key-lock on and put it back in your pocket!)
However, because I don't want to be all negative - Ovi Maps is brilliant! Not what I bought the phone for, but still brilliant! -
PLEASE HELP how do you make gravity around two or more points that effects a ball or so on
hi
i have been trying for hours to make a ball that if effected by two points of gravity a bit like http://activeden.net/item/gravity-simulator/15437 this but i can not code it and i can not find any tutorials that show you how to do it.
hope some one can help
thanksSo here's some more info, Not only have i never used a mac before, I don't really know how to use one, and my girlfriend is at school pretty far away right now, shes not good with computers either. So i don't wanna have to resort to asking her to install jmf on her macbook. If i do have to do that i guess i could get her friend to help her out.
But i'd still rather get this problem fixed. How do i incorperate jmf with my program, so it runs on all computers. I checked the native folder in SipCommunicator 1 release 2 and 3, but its only one dll file called ShellLink.dll
I checked everywhere in both of the downloads and i couldn't find any other dlls.
I must be downloading the wrong thing....
I downloaded
SIP Communicator 1.0-alpha2 release: Generic installer for all OSs
and also
SIP Communicator 1.0-alpha3 nightly builds: Generic installer for all OSs, Java installation required
The reason i got the generic installer is because I have a vista, and i want to run this on a mac. I don't have or know any one living near me with a mac, so i need to be able to build it on my comp. -
Big gravity issue, need much help please.
Hey there, so my game is a platformer. I have gravity working fine, but the only issue is, is that when I just and land on the ground my character goes through the ground a little and if the platform is thin enough, or Im falling fast enough, I go right through the platform, with obviousness, this is a huge problem, but I cannot solve the problem, even when I set the gravity to 0 once the floor is hit.
Who ever wants to help I am going to place the 3 as files that associate with the ground and the gravity, along with the hit testings below.

make your ground larger so it's easier to detect contact between your character and the ground. ie, increase its height.
because you probably don't want to change the ground that the user sees, add an alpha=0 shape to your ground. it will look the same but contact will be detected with the current shapes that make up your ground and the alpha=0 shape.
then fix the glitch where it appears the character is falling below the top of the ground. do that by moving the character as soon as contact is detected.
