Development / sprites is a directory

« Last post by Peter on January 26, 2022, 10:05:40 PM »

When I start my game I get this error message:

Info: Fullscreen: no
Info: Language: en
Info: Lua console: yes
Info: Turbo mode: no
Info: Simulation started
Fatal: Data file 'sprites/' is a directory

What is causing this?

(My game is rather small. 2 rooms and one self-made item.)

Oh, you're making a increase walking speed kinda dash instead? OK. But if you want something akin to rolling in Minish Cap the link is here: https://forum.solarus-games.org/en/index.php/topic,1161.msg6851.html#msg6851

I figured it out with help from discord folks.

-- Hero Dash when 'X' Held

function map:on_key_pressed(key)

if key == "x" then
sol.audio.play_sound("jump")
hero:set_walking_speed(200)

end end
function map:on_key_released(key)

if key == "x" then
hero:set_walking_speed(88)

end end

There's a built in run function similar to the Zelda series. Just call 'game:set_ability("run", 1)' to enable running similar to that by holding the Action Button.

just tried this, it's more of a running attack than a 'running boots' style dash.

kind of cool but still not dash.

Thank you, I will give this a go.

I have now realised since the space/action button has a sword power up i should add this to my Y button!

Any idea how to get the hero to dash or run when holding the action button?

You also can drag and move around maps by holding down the mouses scroll wheel, well that's what mine does
