[Behavior] Shell (get inst's expression from uid)

Shell

Shell behavior is still under development. One of the feature is to get the instance's expression(x,y,width,height,angle...etc), from uid.

Currently, it provides to get these expressions

• x
• y
• width
• height
• angle
• opacity
• visible

Example of getting instance's expression from uid

<img src="http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j352/rexrainbow1/screen1-16.png" border="0">

In example, there are two kinds of sprite -"SpriteA" and "SpriteB". In line2, the global variable "uid" saves the uid of clicked instance of "SpriteB".

Then in expression of "action:append text", it use "SpriteA.shell.X(uid)" -- The SpriteA's shell behavior can get the position x by uid, even the uid is not point to SpriteA.

BTW, expression of shell behavior like "shell.X" actually accepts two parameters. First is uid, second is a default value if the uid doesn't point to any instance.

I really love all your plugins, they make my life 10x easier!!!

One quick question about this one though.

If i want to make a local level editor/map creator what ever you want to call it, is this the plugin to use?

Because i will have to save the x and y locations of each instance dragged on the stage right?

Try Sprite Bank. It can save instances' properties, and let you create them.

Update:

Add version to 0.1

Update:

Remove jQuery call.

Thanks rex you are gem

I had made another plugin named rex_uid2prop to get properties by UID without picking instances, it even could get private variable.

Kyatric

Please help me to remove this rex_shell behavior from plugin list. I might release rex_uid2prop later.

Removed.
