[PLUGIN] Sprite Bank

rexrainbow, Could you possible be able to show me how to make a ghost lap, or replay using this plugin?

GingerBatMan

There is an example in the first post, or could you describe your problem more detail?

Never mind. With the help of the forum we figured out a way to do this without a plugin.

A level editor would be cool! As smitchell suggested.

I know how to make the actual application. But can you show me how to save to json? With json I can then send it to a server and retrieve again, can I not?

GingerBatMan

Using "Expression: BankToString", it will return a JSON string. You need another plugin to send back the JSON string to server.

Does this plugin preserve instance variables or states of any attached behaviors?

GauVeldt

This plugin can save instance variables, but it can not save behaviors' variables automatically. You need to save them into "custom data". See test_sprite_bank_adv.capx in example.

rexrainbow, quick question, maybe you can advise me.

Basically I am making a little application. There is a editor that the user uses to generate some custom wallpapers type thing. So I want the user to be able to post to Facebook, I though of using the Canvas plugin, But that wouldn't work. And then I remembered the 'Sprite Bank' Allows you to store instances into the bank, And allows you to transfer that data into JSON.

So when I need to post the image onto Facebook, how would you suggest I accomplish this?

Thanks.

smitchell

Sorry, I still think that Canvas plugin is better then sprite bank in this case, since your goal is to create an "image" like jpeg/png.

But canvas does not have a export to '' option, Does it?

smitchell

Hum... you can PM to Pode, maybe he has some ideas.

I just checked out your spritebank plugin, but i think something is wrong, i then checked your example and it doesnt do anything,

the arrows should disapear but they dont... i was trying something with families but it didnt work but maybe there's another issue?

ps i have latest version

In example, you need to "press any key" to trigger the action, see event sheet for more detail. It works fine in r78.

I haven't test this plugin with family (variables). I'll test it latter.

vtrix

Family variables can be saved by this plugin. (r78)

hmm strange i was doing an onkey event > save data and destroy objects, but any action after the saving wasnt executed, i will see if i can get you an example or have a closer look

heres a link to my testfile
