Forums » Help » Triggers and Biolab entity pack

Hi, everybody,
as some of you know I'm starting with Impact with a space shooter game. I'm trying to use some of the biolab entities (e.g. triggers + earthquake) but when I try to load the level the loading bar stops almost at the end, I can't see the result of the level. I added the key: name, value:TheName and also the target.1 value:TheName, but I can't load the level. Anybody tried to use this entities? Maybe is there a way to get some kind of debug mode in order to see what's wrong.

Thanks!

what you got in the "entity pack" is basically an incomplete game. it's got no levels in it.

what you can do with it is:

- start with a clean copy of impactJS
- create a level by yourself (get a tilemap done first, paint some nice things)
- add the entities from the pack
- voila!

there's a video on how to start making levels. See
http://impactjs.com/documentation/video-tutorial-weltmeister

debug mode questions can be answered here:

http://impactjs.com/documentation/getting-started

look under the "Setting Up you working environment" section.

Yup, I got the level (I forgot to say that) and I edit it with Weltmeister. The level runs ok without that entities (triggers, earthquake, etc.) But when I added some of them I can't load the level, and guess what? I found the problem. I wasn't loading the entities in the main.js

	'game.entities.trigger',
	'game.entities.earthquake',

Don't forget to load any new entity :P

Voila! I got Biolab's entities working!

also, is your trigger connected to your earthquake via a white line?

* earthquake *
name: earthQuake

* trigger *
target.1 : earthQuake

okie, nice!

Thanks for the help fugufish! Maybe I need some sleep. I've been working since 4 pm and here (Mexico City) is almost 3 am ( without mentioning that my wisdom tooth decided to get out today :( )
