How do I make a position assigned to a single variable ?

Hello,

In Unity C# we can use Vector 2 and 3 to set varibles that contain more than 1 value. A great example is if you want one variable to hold an RGBA color value. You would set the Vector4 to:

myColorVariable = New Vector4(000,000,fff,fff);[/code:v4en9d8v]

This is extremely helpful when drawing boxes or setting something's position... (just use a Vector2(X,Y) for the X and Y value.)

What I am wondering is if we have something like this in Construct2?
How would I set a single varialbe to an objects X and Y position?

I can see we have something to set and return RGB values. This is why I am asking.

Thanks in advance for any help.

No you'd have to simulate something yourself using arrays and maybe wrapping it in a function but I'm not sure it would be worth the trouble.

Thank you codah

I really wish C2 had these

Do you think someone could do it with a plugin? I wonder if HTML5 uses them?

Nah, it's definitely a limitation of the editor. I don't even know if js supports them.

There's a way you can do it, actually. With weird integer encoding. >.> Let me see if I can't whip up an example.

you can do it with arrays setting different arrays to different RGB codes then just load that

Was looking into this further and JavaScript does not even have an integer. It just rounds float values. I have a feeling vectors where something extra special that they added to Unity or Mono.

So, here's two numbers encoded as one. It gets trickier if you want more variable-sized numbers...

And it's definitely more trouble than it's worth.

Thanks lord shiva

Very cool, thanks!

I don't think there's any doubt it can be done, but it will never be recognised natively by C2. Not sure if its worth it for a bit of syntactic sugar, but to each his own.

edit: whoops missed the last few posts. My statement still stands though

The other way to sorta do that is to have an object with instance variables. That's a little closer- have a sprite called Vector4, and instance variables called One, Two, Three, Four, etc... Again- not worth the trouble. Still fun to consider (briefly)
