I need help T_T
« on: June 28, 2009, 12:13:11 PM »
This game is pissing me off. I tried to raise the bar so the freakin razor spikes don't touch but for some dumb reason if the disc are at a certain angle I can't connect anything its freakin impossible same thing with connectors and weapons????.I'm using a labtop so I don't know if the problem is that I can't zoom or what but I can't do what I want now and I'm stuck

Can you replace the discs with smaller ones and see if it all fits that way?

It's not that it's  I can't get a right angle to connect them even when I try something besides disc like connectors with weapons it won't allow me to connect when they are supposed to connect???.I can't use zoom because like I said I'm using a laptop and have no mouse???

most laptops currently have a "scrolling" section on the right of the touchpad. Should be some little arrows on the right of the touch pad that allow you to zoom just like a mouse would let you.

Sometimes if you get the part to mount but it still shows as red... try rotating it slowly and see if it turns regular for mounting.  If the game is glitched (which can happen) Maybe close out of Robot Arena and start it up again.  It is kinda hard to picture what is going wrong there, but I hope you manage to get it to work.

hmm ur right it is hard to explain let me post a screen shot, it's not thats is showing up red and needs to be rotated. it's just simply not mounting period. I would have already be finished by now if it was for this

You can buy smaller mouses(mice?) for your laptop, I use one and its really quite handy. Also, post some screenshots of your problem if you can. We can help you easier that way.

EDIT: Too slow. >.<
Good evening.

This what I'm talking about as u can see two discs(I'm possibly going to lower them this an example) no matter how many times i try to put weapons on them they don't even show up??? How can I rotate them if the weapons don't even connect to begain with??? I don't mean to sound like I'm yelling or anything I'm just so frustated:frown

You might have too many components connected in series.

Well, it's not really a "rule". It's just how the game is programmed.

Thats most likely your problem but look at the bright side you get the joy of building it all over again.

Your ability to accept feedback and actually make improvements is admirable.

Unlike some of the other new members kicking around here *cough*

Keep it up man, you are doing well.  Once you learn this stuff it sticks with you.
