How do I - Select Scroll Menu

Hi everyone,

I´m trying to figure out how to build up a menu which is able to change/switch the visible level the player can start.

If the player touches one of the two direction-buttons, the actual level should scroll out of the visible layout and in the same time/speed/direction the new level should scroll in an be visible.

The "Level"-sprite has several animation-models to be able to show different levels in a preview

Visible example:

First Level-Sprite should be set to the small and long "MoveBar"(Blue)

The new created Level-Sprite should be created.

With a touch on (for example) "MoveRight"-button, the "MoveBar rotates to the necessary positon, For Each-"Level-Family" gets pinned to that bar and the moves forward to set positon. The Level-family gets unpinned, the bar resetted to default-position. At this point it seems to work well.

Problem:

Because of the reason that both "Level"-sprites are a similar object and they do what I set up, they get after one command the same settings, are overlapped and there is no way for me to seperate and control them in a way that I could make them useful.

First I took a deeper look into existing tutorials and the manual, but I didn´t find a solution.

I tried a lot with "For each" and "UID", but nothing of that really helped me(or just not in the way I tried).

Then I tried to figure out now for a while in the forum about similar stuff, but didn´t see something that would work for me.

So I would like to ask if somebody could take a look over my example.capx and help me out with my problem.

Thanks a lot!

I took a quick look through your capx, and I might have misunderstood, but you just want a scrolling menu, that you can know which level is selected, right? I made something more simple for you. (You'll need Rex's MoveTo Plugin here: http://c2rexplugins.weebly.com/rex_moveto.html just click the little plugin top left)

Take a look at this capx: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzWwtk ... sp=sharing

Should be exactly what you need.

Also, a side note, I was gonna add a quick level cap on each side, but figured that was easy enough to add later.

Hope it helps <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy">

Hey antares330,

yes, thats right! A scrolling menu, which shows the selectable/actual level.

Thanks for your quick respone! I will take a look at it when I´m at home again!

If you want to paste something on top of the scrolling level, you might have to pin whatever you want on top before the Move Action.

Your file helped me a lot to understand how I can set object settings after an new "create object"-action!

It makes now absolute sense why I failed all the time. I tried to "add an event" as selection for an object and set with "actions" the settings , but there is no possible relation between that with which I can control it in that way.

That what does work is to create and set all the planned and necessary object-options in one "creation"-action.

After I took a look at your capx I understood that and noticed, that I would not need the mentioned plugin, but it could be another possible way to solve my request!

Why? Because I can pin my the "selection"-object and the new created/second "selection"-object on another object, which I move.
