-\-\-\help With Ddr Freeze Arrows-\-\-\, -\-\-I am seriously frustrated....-\-\-\ Options

[XD005]

Thats not exactly what I wanted but it might get more attention. What I actually need is Guitar Hero hold notes. Freeze arrows and hold notes are essentially the same thing btw.

I am seriously frustrated, confused and clueless on how to do this. I just want to point out now that I am not extremely fluent with GML but for the most part am. Like when you start going:

CODE

sqrt*abs(54)+yy=length
length/time=result

I get seriously confused. Well anyways I just need a example on how to do sustained notes. Please!!!!! Help me and if I can trust you with my GM6 I will do a quick 'background check' and think about it but I'd really like for you to just do a example, since my GM6 and development files usually isn't optimized and it currently takes up 1.56 GBs I'd rather not send the GM6..

sustained notes are

(the long things in this picture)

or are the equal to freeze arrows in DDR:

(freeze arrows are the green arrows in the picture)

And so you should be that's the most buggy useless piece of code i've ever seen .

Anywho, GM doesn't have any inbuild sound editing type stuff so if I understand your question right you'll have to look for a DLL.

Vote YoYo, see my sig.

Not that kind. Have you ever played DDR? Those little hold arrows is the type of thing I need but guitar hero style.

Also it wasnt supposed to make sense it was just a example

No sorry I havn't played the game, mabey if you could explain it without needing to play the game I could help

It's basically a arrow that cames up and you have to hold it

[~Dannyboy~]

And then the next arrow comes up, right?

Just look at this video.

the long green arrows are freeze arrows. And this was just a random song.

Could you tell us how you're doing the normal notes? Otherwise we'll probably give you a solution that doesn't work with your game.

One thing you could do is make a separate type of object for the note you hold out, with the origin in the same place on the note as the non-trailed ones. Then do the same kind of checking but then have another one as well that checks if it's still held down until there's not a collision with the activator (use if (!place_free(x, y)))

I tried that just now it dosent work. Or maybe I'm doing it wrong. Could you make a example possibly?
