Status of Fammilies

Heyah,

Its been a while since i posted here.

Anyway, my CC knowledge is not really up to date. Whats the status of Fammilies? Last time i checked they were incredibly buggy to the point where they could preety much screwe up your entire CAP.

I am asking because i am tempted to use them, but i dont want to get myself into another mess.

Most of the problems were fixed, but you might want to refrain from deleting or renaming family variables, that was what caused problems when I was using them.

hmm then how to get rid of the Vars if ive made an mistake? deleting the whole fammily?

And what sort of problems you encountered? Can you name them?

I left variables there and simply didn't use them. I can't remember what the problems were, but I recall the project becoming unstable and having to revert to an earlier version.

Hmm. I see.

I am thinking about using Fam's for colision detections.

Basicly If Bullet Overlaps Enemy then > something happends

And as i have many enemies i though to group them with a Fam.

So instead of the above it would be like:

If Bullet overlaps Fam >then something

No actual Fam's related variables. Just using the Fams to wrap many objects into one category.

What do you think? in terms of safety.

That's fine, I never had any problems doing that. Again, family variables should work fine if you don't delete or rename them.

Ahhhh how nice.

Thank you Arima :)
