Hi everyone,

Like I said before, I'm kinda a newbie. I programmed AMOS on the Amiga for years (still do) and therefore don't get why I'm still so clueless with DarkBasic. However I'm learning.

Anyway, I wanted to turn this one player soccer game into a two player one, the other team doesnt seem to be doing anything anyway and it seemed fun to do so. What I was trying to go for is make the yellow team operated by the numeric keypad, of course the keys for shooting goals etc should also be available for the other player.... but I'll be damned if I know how those guys are operated. I did manage to get them holding the ball, and I tried going for the p2 value and such, but it wont work.

The source is downloadable here: http://www.estate3.com/DSOCCER.zip

Please help me out here, I'm at a total and utter loss.

Thanks in advance!

The evil plan is now even closer!

How do you mean? Got any example code? And wouldnt that result in the two games playing eachother without you being able to play?

Zero means that you can use the same code, just change the variables to suit the second player.

Thats the weird part, I tried the same thing with this piece of code in the program:

if upkey() then dir1=0 : if swapview>1 then dir1=90
if downkey() then dir1=180 : if swapview>1 then dir1=270
if leftkey() then dir1=270 : if swapview>1 then dir1=0
if rightkey() then dir1=90 : if swapview>1 then dir1=180
if upkey() and rightkey() then dir1=45 : if swapview>1 then dir1=135
if upkey() and leftkey() then dir1=315 : if swapview>1 then dir1=45
if downkey() and rightkey() then dir1=135 : if swapview>1 then dir1=225
if downkey() and leftkey() then dir1=225 : if swapview>1 then dir1ye=315
`orientation (TIR INACTIF)
if power#=0 then yrotate object p2,dir1

I first figured to test it to move the yellow team, so I figured p2 must be changed to p1 and it didnt work, I also tried changing dir1 to dir2 and some other combinations but I can't find the values for the yellow team.

It's very odd, that's why I asked your help. :/

Stuff like this should be easy, like I said before I programmed basic for years. Maybe I have been out of it too long

Well, you'll need to use different keys (try using keystate), and you should change all the dir1's to dir2, and change p1 to p2. If you keep dir1 with p1 and dir2 with p2, then it should all work.

I tried this:

if KEYSTATE(31)=1 then dir2=0 : if swapview>1 then dir2=90
if KEYSTATE(30)=1 then dir2=180 : if swapview>1 then dir2=270
if KEYSTATE(32)=1 then dir2=270 : if swapview>1 then dir2=0
if KEYSTATE(17)=1 then dir2=90 : if swapview>1 then dir2=180

But it wouldnt work, the characters wouldnt even react

Hey thats weird, isn't DBPro backwards compatible? And yes this is still under the older DB I haven't purchased pro yet but as soon as I can I will definatly.

Thank you very much for looking into this!

I personally think the best way to make a 1 player game into a 2 player game is start from scratch, implementing any new code techniques and AI improvements.

Not to be nasty, but this is a good lesson on game designing, always think ahead, and decide on everything before you do a single line of code. In my C64/Amiga days, I could easily spend 2 months just designing before even touching the assembler.
