» CMP Posted December 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 [u][b]Rope Bounce[/b][/u] heres how to rope bounce, but youve gotta stick with me for this one it might get comples. firstly you HAVE to have pivot v3 to do it. [b]right, first make a ring in paint without any ropes:[/b] [url="http://imageshack.us"][img]http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/8198/10sc.png[/img][/url] now load it into pivot as a sprite and click on edit [url="http://imageshack.us"][img]http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/9389/33rk.png[/img][/url] [b]now make a stick like the one in the picture to each turnbuckle[/b] [url="http://imageshack.us"][img]http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/8049/22zn.png[/img][/url] make them all as small as they can go by clicking on this button (dont worry if you can still see them as theyll disapear when you use it) [url="http://imageshack.us"][img]http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/9733/46vc.png[/img][/url] [b]now just keep adding sticks onto the thin line till you get all the way across to the other turnbuckle (you need at least 6)[/b] [url="http://imageshack.us"][img]http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/4045/57ij1.png[/img][/url] once youve finished, dont forget to save youre ring by clicking on file and save as in the edit screen (it will now be saved as a stk, not a sprite) [b][u]Behind Ropes[/u][/b] to get your stick man behind the ropes, once youve made the ring, click on the 'back' button when the stickman is selected. [b][u]Saving As A GIF[/u][/b] first make an animation. then, when you save it, click on the dropdown bit (its below where you name the save). change this to GIF. a new screen should appear. put the shrink frame to 2 and frame delay to 5 or 6. this should put the animation at the right speed and size. then go to www.imageshack.us and click on browse and then find your animation. click on host. once it is hosted, copy and paste the 'hotlink for forums (1)' to your new thread on here. [u][i][b]Adding A Sprite[/b][/i][/u] on pivot you need to got to the file drop down menu and select load sprite [img]http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/4163/pivothelp3mo.png[/img] then find the sprite file [img]http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/1176/pivothelp28zo.png[/img] then it should load up onto pivot [img]http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/485/pivothelp39js.png[/img] [u][i][b]Adding Your Background[/b][/i][/u] [img]http://img78.imageshack.us/img78/4460/loadbackground8ag.jpg[/img] just click load background and load one that u created in paint Please look at this video of you are a beginner at pivot:[url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skwK4OKub24"]Video,Submitted By S.K Riot[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
