X/Y Collisions by points

[MysticTrunks]

Ok, I'm trying to detect X/Y by points on a character, they're 3 points/

-top
-middle
-bottom

if I hit the enemy on the top it moves diagonal(direction).
if I hit the enemy on the middle it moves the opposite direction
if I hit the enemy on the bottom it moves opposite from the top point.

Any ideas?

You are, I take it, using some kind of ABS? Without knowing that, it's hard to give a specific answer, but in general, the answer would be something on the order of "Set Move Route-- Move Away from Player," (Turning off Move Animation and turning on Direction Fix) or perhaps Conditional Branches based on the comparative X and Y coordinates of enemy and player.

Assuming you are always facing the enemy when you hit him, you could make an assumption that if the player is facing left, the enemy will move left.

Conditional Branch: Player is facing Left

  Set Move Route: This event

                    Move Left

No No, I know all the event stuff that deals with the movement, I just need help finding the X/Y.

Here's a picture example.

Each box represents a pixel collision point, if my character attacks one of those boxes that determains the direction the ai moves back.

No No, you aren't giving anyone enough detail to help you. What attacks? How is your character attacking?

Each attack is represented by an event"which is called uppon the attack", if the attack mask for this instance is melee and it hit's one of those points the enemy will move back repectively.

If I use melee it calls the melee attack mask event which is right in front of the enemy kicking/punching the enemys ass!

I'm also using Fotz's pixelmovement script, so you can hit any of those three points while you couldn't with tile movement.

Better, but still confused on how the attack is done. Is this event system or something? Could you share a demo of how this is being done or something?

 

[MysticTrunks]

Oh, I just posted.

Yes, the abs is event based since it's based on snes/gba systems which the pixelmovement script is enough for the system, everything else is evented.

If I press "Z" Melee key an event is called to the heros X/Y and if that event touches one of those 3 spots the enemy either goes.

-Diagonal/Up
-Opposite Direction
-Diagonal/Down

I'm using Fotz's pixelmovement script.

Ok. Could you perhaps make a quick demo of this in action? If you don't want others to see it you can PM it to me and I'll take a look.
