[PLUGIN] Instance Group

rosareven

The easier way -

Use "condition:pick instances" to pick all instances of this inst group into SOL, then use "system condition:for each" to iterate these instances

I'm so sorry to bother you again and again...

If I want to add some Object's instances ,how to do it? And how to give them UID?

And if I pop an item from a instGroup ,how can I get this Instance? Does it exits a method of the property to get Instance's text or something else so that I can print them out ?

Reference

add some Object's instances - "Action:Add instances"

pop an item from a instGroup - "Condition:Pop one instance"

rexrainbow

But how can I get the instance poped from the instGroup?

MelonGuns

The condition need to assign a "object type", then the plugin will change the SOL of this object type to the popped one. For example,

+ Pop one instance from typeA
[ul]
	[li]Set typeA.X to 100

<img src="smileys/smiley11.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> I don't not understand ... Can you give me a screen shortcut?

And I don't know the condition "pick by UID" ,either . Can I give a instance of some Object type a specific UID when I create it?

And I even don't know the difference between action and condition.Can you tell me ?

This is the first time for me to write a project without codes... And I'm just begin to use this game engine, so I've no idea about a lot of things...

I use this "int(RandomGen.random)%3+1" value to set a variable, but why I always get 1?

And I also set seed with "wallclocktime"

MelonGuns

The return value of "RandomGen.random" is between 0~1.

So that "int(RandomGen.random)%3+1" will always return 1.

For example,

RandomGen.random = 0.9

int(0.9) -> 0

0%3 -> 0

0+1 -> 1

Update

Update picking function. No new feature added.

Capx: Pass SOL into function

SOL will be "pick all" when jumped into a "on function", this capx shown how to pass SOL into "on function" using instance group.

More over, instance group could return a SOL after "on function".

I cannot believe I didn't find this plugin before. This is so powerful it should be an official plugin .

Rexrainbow, you are awsome
