Un furblock qui a du ressort

ah. Voilà qui est mieux... Le saut est amorti, puis le bloc re-propulse Bilou en l'air une fois dans la phase à gravité positive. J'ai encore un glitch temporaire à régler, mais au moins Bilou ne se met plus à rebondir dans le vide une fois sur deux. Alors je suis sûr que vous avez d'essayer ça, donc.

And give it a try yourself. I finally have a bouncy block that is bouncy the way I want, dampening your fall, kicking you up when it is back.

Not only that, it also allows buffering of your JUMP commands so that you get a high-jump if you press and hold the JUMP button anytime while the furblock is dampening. JLN managed to get a high jump on any of his attemps. (of course, he is disappointed that it isn't possible to use the glitch to charge even more jump power and make a super-jump taking you out of the map into a super-secret area :P)

Et si on appuie sur le bouton de saut au bon moment (c'est à dire n'importe quand pendant qu'on est sur le bloc), on part en super-saut. Hahaa... On est prêt pour ramener ça sur la branche aussi...


$BACK->$IDLE on event2 [v1 256 <] ($VTHROWN(0) 0 :1 0:6); // 1 
$BACK->$IDLE on event2 [v6 0 <=] ($VTHROWN(0) 0 :1);      // 2
$BUMP->$BACKLAST on event2 [v6 1 =] (v1 2 / :1 v6 1 - :6 $DIR(D_DOWN));
$BUMP->$BACK_ on event2 (v1 2 / :1 v6 1 - :6 $DIR(D_DOWN));  // 4

$BACK->$BUMP on event2 (v1 2 / :1 $DIR(D_UP) $VTHROWN(VTHROWN 3 * 2 /);

$IDLE->$BUMP on hit0 [w1 0 >] ($VTHROWN(200) w1 512 m :1 $DIR(D_UP) 3:6);
$BACKLAST->$BACK_ on hit0 [w1 0 >] ($VTHROWN(200) w1 512 m 2 * :1 3:6);

The little glitch we still observe is linked to the BACKLAST state. Normal cycle alternates between BUMP where Bilou can stay landing on the block (think as "compressed" state) and BACK where Bilou would be ejected ("expanded" state). There may be up to 4 such oscillations before the block comes to a halt. A former glitch happened when Bilou would fall back while we're in BACK state and react as if it hit an eraser although it isn't close enough.

BACKLAST was intended to fix this: it let the block oscillate one last time, but it doesn't feature the hitbox that would propel Bilou up. Of course, that does not work alone, so I also added a transition that restart a cycle if Bilou still shows up, exactly as if we were idle. But we cannot simply do BACKLAST->BUMP, else we will screw up how the "on grid" controller decide where we should transition.

My last glitch came from the speed division on line #3, that makes each oscillation smaller than the previous one: if we keep the last line's expression identical to that of $IDLE->BUMP, the speed will almost immediately be very low, and we might not hit and propel as intended, hence the additional 2 * to compensate the division that is about to occur as soon as we've reached the "default" position of the block. (still, I'll have to cross-check the collision coordinates: it doesn't feel right that it need that much fine-tuning...)

update: okay, works for the branch as well. Just took 1 or 2 hour of tuning...
