UDK Platformer #2

I decided to work a bit on the visual style of the game and made 2 new textures and a map to go along with them. Also found a bug in my shooting code (for some reason shooting straight doesn't shoot straight in the Z axis).

EDIT:
By (apparently) popular demand, I decided to upload the old source code and link here:
http://uploading.com/files/cb24d2m4/UDK_PlatformGameBackup_28.12.09.rar/

This should work. Feel free to use it in any way you wish. If you make a cool platformer with it, let me know :P
For those of you feeling generous, credit is always appreciated ;)

Take care!

Very nice, but it could use a level designers hand :-)

@TheDaneTuts What do you expect? It's just a simple code demo and the level itself is practically a placeholder :) I actually fleshed it out a bit more to test some more stuff later down the road but didn't have any more time to finish and publish it.

@dandi8 How hard is it to make AI? I've been wanting to do a single player game with UDK but AI sounds troublesome. i want AI similar to AI found in single player game, and not like bots. any idea?

[dandi8]

@Bunie1989 I wouldn't know, as I haven't tried it but I suppose you'd have to know a bit of programming to program special behavior. I don't know how advanced the UDK is in case of AI.

could you please upload the source code? Cause i have big problems with walking backwards, while mouse is on the opponent side!

[dandi8]

@TheCoder09 I did upload it, look on the Epic Games forum, UDK section. I made a thread about my platformer there. The link to the code is somewhere in the posts.

@dandi8 I really hate to bother you with this -- I've gone through your code and found the piece I needed. I was having trouble when writing my own, I couldn't seem to get the camera to move very smoothly. However, upon implementing your CalcCamera class, my character will now ONLY face left, and no matter what I try, I cannot get that to change. Any suggestions?

Turrican?

@PomboKad Got the same problem :(

[MrFamusbal]

Tut?

[hemagoku]

how to use the source code to see the game ?

[PomboKad]

Hi, I used your code but I have 2 problems. The camera is following the player but when I press "backward", the Pawn doesn't turn back and walk, He simply walk backwards, and the weapon doesn't shoot forward either. I looked around in foruns but I couldn't find the any solution. Could you help me or show me any tutorials? I'm pretty newbie in programming right now. Thank you for the free scripts and sorry for my bad english.

seems cool, however did I see the characters moving on their motion planes?

I had a friend make a platformer game in UDK and if anything ever happened to get the character to move forward or backward slightly it ruined shit lol.
