  • I've got a line of cards in a family, and they move every few seconds. As they go away, I'd like the remaining cards to move a little to fill the gaps.

    Is there any way to call the "arrange/space/vertical" ability that I can do in the layout right-click, but as an action ?

  • It's very easy to distribute sprites using lerp expression. For example:

    Card set X to lerp(50, 500, card.iid/(Card.count-1))

    If you need to do this only for some sprite instances, say you need to re-arrange cards that belong to player 1: 

    Card compare instance variable player=1
 local variable NumberOfCards
	Set NumberOfCards to Card.pickedCount

 System for each Card
	Card set X to lerp(50, 500, loopindex/(NumberOfCards-1))

    The above will work better for a large number of cards. When there are only 1-3 cards left, they will be too far apart. If you need to keep cards together, say at fixed 80px distance from each other, you need to use some other method. For example: 

    Card set X to Card.iid*80 + (LayoutWidth/2-(Card.Count-1)*80/2)
