Moving on a random-generated graph

Looks great. I assume you will have a "nearest" option as you do in Board? And the other things in SLG movement (like the filter functions).

Also, Sometimes it is nice to be able to get a list of all the nodes that comprise a closed loop around a point--if such a simple closed loop exists.

I though "filter" function might not be useful while getting move-able area. So I abandon this feature, I will add it back.

Edit

Add "filter" function back.

If you are making a galactic star game for instance with your graph, you still want to know the "cost" of the 3 worm hole jumps and where is the "nearest enemy system that does not have a star base" filter type question.

Also, it would be very useful to identify where graph links cross eachother. Your example has no crossing links.

A builder of the graph might want to avoid crossing links since it will interfere with the user-interface and presentation--or at least know the location where they cross.

What is "crossing links"? Do you mean that two edges are overlapped (condition: is overlap) physically?

rexrainbow

In your example demo, none of the brown lines cross. If I wanted to add another node to your demo I want to be sure that when I create links to the other nodes the brown lines don't cross, or if they do cross--where do they cross (the layout x,y coord of the crossing point).

As an example, connect the node in the upper left corner of the layout to the lower right corner. It will generate a long brown link that corsses 5 or 6 other brown links. THe programmer wants to be able to detect this condition (true--yes it crosses at least one other node link). Later on you may want to add where it crosses.

I am calling node link what you are calling edge. So yes, if the edge is a line do they cross.

Update

rex_graph: add "Condition:In closed loop" to test if a vertex is in a closed loop.

winkr7

"crossing links" might be detected by "condition: is overlapped" of edge sprite, since the "crossing" is a physically result.

I like the random graph demo. Yes you could check for crossing links with the condition: overlapped.

Are you going to make a layout editor for this addin?

Does the least path calculation have an option for one-way edges?. I know you did this for the Board addin,

1. Nodes and links could be placed at layout editor already, it used links with overlapping test to get the two connected nodes. See the basic capx. Designer also could put the UID of two connected nodes on private variables of links at layout editor.

2. Yes, each link could have 3 connection types

1) Node A -> Node B

2) Node A <- Node B

3) Node A <-> Node B

I use 3) in my sample capx. See the "action: add edge".

rexrainbow

You have "pick all edges" twice in the event editor for graph under SOL -edges.

Yes, I made another "pick all edges" condition to add edges into an instance group, the other one is put edges into SOL directly. ( But I forgot uploaded these files, these new conditions are not available, I will update them next Monday. )

rexrainbow;

I can't load your capx because it was built by a later (beta) version of C2. I think I can set the version back some kind of way, but unless you are using new features in the beta it might be helpful to do a capx build with a release version of c2.

thanks for your time
