Guitar Hero System [events]

[Xephyr]

I somehow made a working Guitar Hero system, with events.  It wasn't as hard as you think...but...it was pretty hard, lol.

Spoiler: Features that are still missing

Star power, the fact that you can just hold down every fret and strum and it still hits, a display showing life and score

Not much else to say, becuase I had it explain the controls at the beginning, but if not, you have to edit the controls using F1.


Controls -
Z-Green
X-Red
C-Yellow
V-Blue
B-Orange
Shift-Strum

It's unencrypted, if your interested.  You might learn a thing or two about extremely advanced eventing.

I'm gonna go give this whirl. Thanks for sharing Xephyr.

 

[Xephyr]

Alright, thanks guys.

Don't expect a whole lot...there's only so much I can do with events.  I had a lot more than this, but the lag was so bad that I had to cut down.  Anti-lag scripts helped nothing.



EDIT:
its still good though and its the closest thing to Guitar Hero that anyone's ever done in XP, unless Trebor's script was good.  I've never seen it.

I'm a little confused by the control scheme. It took me a while to figure out the fret buttons but I still don't know how to strum.

 

[Cheeze]

you could check to see if your button matches the one that is coming down with a C-branch.

Okay, go into F1 and at the keyboard tab, make sure the shift option is set to Z in the drop-down box.
Actually, I'll take a screen.

Set up your keyboard like that, and then Z-B are the frets and shift strums.


Does that help at all?

I reset my keyboard, I just didn't know which one was the strum. (because I was too idiotic to check the thread and I just clicked the downlaod button) I'm gonna try again.  :straightthumb:

EDIT: That was pretty cool! I'm impressed. I'm gonna check out how ya did this.

Thanks.  It took about a month to make that little 7 second or so bit, so I threw out the idea of making a whole game with it, lol.

Sorry about the misunderstanding with the controls.  It took a while to set up a good control scheme, and its pretty complicated.  I should've elaborated more.

Wow, this is quite a pain.  I thought my eventing was complicated!  I'm impressed.  I can completely understand why this game went out the window though.  Probably best to leave the GH to the professionals who can afford building and programming their own engines. lol.

But hell, have you considered taking requests for event systems?  I had been cutting corners so I could avoid making my vampire system and I just recently hunkered down and threw something together.  I'm sure that it's a bit pathetic compared to what you could do, though.  If you're interested... pm me?

I have, but I don't know where I would put a thread for that.  And I have my own game to work on, but I can take breaks. I think I'll make a thread now.  You can post a request there.
