Working with Platform Builder / Coins at checkpoint: work-around exploit?

« on: December 14, 2018, 11:08:58 PM »

I was wondering if there is a way to set the player's coins back to what they were at the last checkpoint.
Right now, if I hit a checkpoint with 10 coins, go collect 50 more coins and then die, then I respawn at the checkpoint with 60 coins, and I can go collect all those coins again for a total of 110. Depending on how many lives I have, I can exploit the system and get super rich too quickly lol.

Is there some code I can put into the looping section to fix it?

Working with Platform Builder / Custom enemy from base enemy behavior?

« on: December 14, 2018, 08:35:50 PM »

I'm trying to make the porcupricks reverse at ledges and not fall off, but that's the only behavior I'm trying to change.
When I create a custom enemy, there isn't a place to input commands for when the enemy sees the player, and they just walk around as if they haven't seen him.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

Hey there! My name is Lyndsey, and I'm new to Platform Builder and I'm having a blast with it.
I am a triple major at UAT in Game Design, Game Art & Animation, and Game Programming.
(Previously my background was in German language K-12, so if anyone wants to practice some Deutsch, hit me up )

I just recently started using PB for a project I have going in one of my classes. I'll be sure to post the finished version when its done!

Working with Platform Builder / Customize Lava?

« on: December 04, 2018, 05:25:14 PM »

I was wondering how to customize the lava? I want it to behave the same, but just colorize it green. I've tried custom item and custom block, but it can't be reached that way. Thanks!
