Player Size

Hi Im sure this has probably been asked before and may even have been done before:

I've tried searching the forums but not found anything (maybe I'm not searching for the right terms)

im wanting to make dizzy 4 times as big as he is and while stretching the tile is not an issue I also want dizzy to move 4 times as far and jump 4 times as high - and interact with large objects accordingly

basically to function as he does when small but 4 times as big!

is there an easy way of doing this?

thankyou for any help / pointers in advance

Cheers

not easy, no, but yes you can do it.

Have a look at the shrink demo, it uses much the same principles, but to make the player smaller rather than larger.

Thankyou

I've had a rethink and I think what I'm attempting may be too complicated and may need to wait for my next game

I had a look at the shrink demo and its fairly clear how dizzy is made to move horizontally at a slower pace so as to fit his shrunken size however the jump height is the same and it's that part I'm struggling to change - I'm still learning the script language so it maybe is a little to complicated for my current knowledge

Cheers

yeah the movement code can be quite hard to get your head around. I found it the most complicated part of the entire code.

I'll second that. I've messed with custm movement exactly once, and it turned out to be the hardest part of the whole game, even for something that was nominally simple.

Yeah I think I'll stick with standard dizzy movement for now at least for this game it's been nearly 2 years in the making and while i would love to say thats 2 years working on it sadly that's not the case as it won't be a very large game but hopefully peeps will enjoy it
