Flaptvia Olympics - learning Playmaker by making a simple game

[Ekanaut]

Hi all,

I picked up Playmaker last week and decided to make a Flappy Bird clone to learn how to use it.  This is what I have so far:



To Play:

I'm still trying to figure out how to do a proper obstacle scrolling and have it randomly pick from a set of obstacles.  Right now it's two different set of assets with Move Towards set on them and using Wait states in-between.  It's not ideal and would love some help on it.

Also, I don't know how to setup a high score yet either.

Left Mouse Click to flap
Click on the "Start" to start the game and start flapping immediately.

Cheers,

Eka

Hi,

You have to click, click right after you press start.

It's pretty bugged, first time i played had to click 20 times for the bird to reach ground to die, to start over. then when you double click to fast in succesion it makes a huge jump.

Thus far from what I've seen; best looking flappy clone, but also most buggy. Impressive for 1 week in PM!

Yeah it is super hard.  Make sure to click on "Start" and Mouse click like crazy before you die   I had a hard time with getting the GUI to work properly so the buttons don't look like they're clickable.

Hi...use this code and translate to playmaker style.
This code is for a random Spawn Obstacle according to values of you decide.
See youtube link how to use:

Maybe Jean is the guy of can translate this code in playmaker! is the best!
 
HEY JEAN...!!!! HELP
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
 
public class SpawnObstacle : MonoBehaviour {
 
        public GameObject obstacle;
        float x = 0;
       
        void Update () {
                float y = Random.Range(15.43331f, 29.42488f);
        if(x < 1000) {
            Instantiate(obstacle, new Vector3(x * 6.0f, y, 0),Quaternion.identity);
            x++;
        }
        Debug.Log(x);
        }
}

Hi,

@xhidnoda, can you create a new post for this, as it's not related to this topic really.

Thanks,

I was using an Apply Force to make the bird fly but that resulted in undesirable velocity changes depending on how fast you clicked.  I switched to a Set Velocity instead which seems to me much more reliable.  Also fixed up the UI a bit, added sound fx and some slight screen blur.

added music and random scrolling obstacles. I think I'll call this done for #flappyjam
