I haven't heard much about "Shadowling Assassin" can somebody fill me in?

[hellboy222]

I think it's like Arman quick and deals good back stab, but doesn't have great health and instead of jump you have shadowport.

Nope, it follows the path of a young Shadowling who would like to joing the Assassin's Cult and tries to prove himself worthy. It's a platformer and you can already use the Shadowport ability (which would make it interesting and a bit of a challenge to design good levels on it).
The old forums have a section on this game, if you want to see what the original posts were about, and you can try an early build of the engine as well.

So its a separate game I thought he meant the class. Is it still in the making or is it been abandoned?

[KZ]

From what CraigStern told us some time ago, it might be one of the projects to experiment with after TSoG is completed.

[hellboy222]

Cool, so it seems like he'll always be busy.

yeah which is why I wish my dad hadn't "lost" his flash programming thing... then I could learn to program flash and ask the Creator for a chance to be a part of his team...

This a link to http://www.sinisterdesign.net/TelepathAdventureShadowlingAssassin.html.
The game engine is just some basic physics and animations, along with the ability to shadowport around.

yeah I got flash cs4 installed now I just gotta practice and stuff

[Zhampir]

wow... that's... interesting... lmao
well I can think of a few neat ideas.
Areas that you can't teleport to would definatilly be good...
probably also want a limit on the amount of teleportations...
something like (pseudo code)
Private Function Mouse.Click(blah blah blabitty blah)
   If pointer.location(x,y) <> (menu position) and pointer.location <> (ptcbxenemey(intEnemyNumber).location.x, ptcbxenemy(intEnemyNumber).location.y) and CanTeleport = True THEN
  intTeleport += -1      'decreses amount of teleports availible
   IF intTeleport <= 0 Then
      CanTeleport = False
   End If
  Else
     If pointer.location = btnInventory.location then   'put in for each button that opens a menu button
        Open_Inventory
     END IF
  END IF
End Function

Okay so I have to practice a lot where did you learn it?

[Zhampir]

Junior Year Vbasic.

[hellboy222]

So what Computer language did you learn.

[Zhampir]

Just Quick Basic and Visual Basic and a little C+
but a lot of languages are basically the same with different names...
that and I learn quickly.^^

CS4 and AS2 are pretty easy to learn.

You know what's nice about Adobe Flash? Buttons. There's a couple of very useful event handlers that trigger stuff happening, including the [objectname].onRelease event handler, and that means you don't even have to deal with a bunch of stuff about IF [cursor_location] = [menu_button_location]. Just menuButton.onRelease = function(){
whatever you wnat to do
}
