z {zmin} {zmax} {BGheight}

Hi guys,

New to this forum and OBoR.

I'm taking my first steps into creating a test level for my sprites so I can tweak everything on there before I start building the actual levels.

I though this would be easy and for the most part I've been getting my head round things.  Unfortunately I've came across trouble with the z command.

no matter what values I enter the vertical boundaries are not changing ;/

my level is basically made up of these:

direction        both
type 1 0 1
z 200 350
panel data/bgs/testlvl1/testlvl1.gif none none (panel size 432x372)
order a

spawn enemy1
health 999999
at         0
cords        300 220

Could someone explain or help me find out why I cannot correctly define the player walking area please?

At the end of the day I'm trying to define an area on the floor like this /___\ as the walls on each side are orthographic like the very last room at the end of double dragon 1.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

cheers

Don't put zmin and zmax in the file of the level, but in levels.txt, like this:

set    story

lives 2
credits 3
cansave  2
noshare 1

z 175 239
file    data/levels/TMNT2_snow.txt

If you need help setting walls, just post the image here and I'll help you set them

Doh!

I had just been looking at it too long yesterday as I didn't realise I was putting the z command in the wrong file Thanks ever so much for pointing out where I was going wrong.

Also have managed to close off the stage correctly with the wall command.  It's a bit tricky getting your head round the 3D space; it seems a little weird building walls from the bottom up when most stuff seems to be referenced from starting point 0x0 to down-right.


cheers guys!
