Redoing the player in Flash

[henke37]

Indeed, scene does sound nice.

[henke37]

So I've updated the WIP. Notable additions are two minigames, save support and a debugging panel.

Yo henke, is the video for AAI not supposed to show up in this version?I'm getting an error in-game about it, and it wont let me pass.

[henke37]

I forgot to uncomment a line, nothing big.

[henke37]

Ok, now I want some simple input. How should the controls be when investigating? Using the arrow keys is rather obvious, so try and mention something else.

[Meph]

What is wrong with the obvious choice?

[henke37]

I am not saying there is anything wrong with it. It's just not complete. It covers the movement direction. And then what? How to decide when to run? How to examine stuff?

[Phantom]

Running= Double-tapping?

I have forgotten the controls of AAI, but hot about Z for examining stuff when given the option to, A for Pressing in testimony, D for court records, heck, that's all I can remember haha.

Itd be really neat if we could use our mics too.

Running= Shift + arrowkeys?

[Meph]

Oh, I see what you mean. It would be better to simulate the DS controls as much as we can, so we'd use Arrow Keys + A for running, for example.

[Broocevelt]

And can't we do it the touchscreen way?
If you are from 1 to 30 pixels from the center of the move button, walk.
If you are at least at 31 pixels from the center, then run.

But you would need to have set up a touchscreen movement then.

I'm sorry for the late input, but what do you mean...? Are you mentioning the character movements in AAI?

[Meph]

I think henke is referring to all controls.

[henke37]

I am most certainly not going to complain if I get input, but the main focus was AAI character movement.

[Broocevelt]

Do it the touchscreen way, not the arrow way.
