  newt

  Say, we use that to make a sprite hunt the mouse.

  Lets start the sprite far away from the mouse, and lets not move the mouse.

  The sprite will now 'catch' up with the LineOfSight kicking in at one point.

  If we now move the mouse, the LineOfSight is still kicking in, while you really want the speed (starting speed) defined in the else. (if i understand you right). So we start at maxspeed.

  Also ...

  When the lerp is written as lerp(positionSprite,positionMouse,lerpfactor) ....

  positionSprite & positionMouse are dynamic. So the lerpfactor is altering the next position allready when it is static.

  Make also the lerpfactor dynamic and i suspect that there will be weird feedback (but i did not try it)

  Next time it would be nice if you at least provide the array. Thank you.

  This is (kinda sorta) every possible spawn combination in 1 capx.

  I think that 'for each' is a real hog, when having to go trough a lot of objects that need a personal outcome.

  So lets do something wild.

  Do you see how i avoid a 'for each' by using a container ?

  Choose where Y = default size 'Ydef'.

  Choose a scaling rate 'Srate'

  Sprite > set size

  Width = lerp( Sprite.ImageWidth / Srate , Sprite.ImageWidth , (Sprite.Y/Ydef) )

  Height = lerp( Sprite.ImageHeight / Srate , Sprite.ImageHeight , (Sprite.Y/Ydef) )

  In my head this works.

  (probably a dumb question)

  is that the same as

  Xnormalised = cos(angle(player.x,player.y,target.x,target.y))

  Ynormalised = sin(angle(player.x,player.y,target.x,target.y))

  ?

  New Event > Condition > Sprite = active ? (i understand that they all have to be active)

  __Sub event > Condition > System > compare 2 values .. First = Sprite.PickedCount .. = ... Second = Sprite.Count

  _____Sub condition > Sprite > Compare instance variable > ... variable = quant ... equal to ... 10

  __________Sub condition > Condition > System > compare 2 values .. First = Sprite.PickedCount .. > ... 1

  ________________those actions run when there are more then 1 active sprites with quant = 10

  _____Else

  __________those actions run when there are NO active sprites with quant = 10

  __Else

  _____those actions run when not all sprites are active

  Else

  _____Those actions run if there is not one active sprite

  Pick the sprite

  System compare two values ... sprite animation frame % 0 = 1

  _____________ actions run if sprite animation frame = odd

  Does the same, just more simple

  % means modulo, or 'remainder after division', it is an operator like + - / *

  say .. 5 % 3 ....>... 3 goes 1 time in 5 with a remainder of 2

  so .... 5 % 3 = 2

  edit, i see you got an answer, i post anyway

  Hmm no. Read the tutorial again.

  In the tutorial (and in the implemented capx) a beast can NOT drop all items, if not allowed to.

  Every beast has a rarity number in its array.

  An item only can get dropped when its own rarity matches the rarity of the beast.

  This way (and gosh that is so nicely done in the tutorial) you can so easily steer which beast can drop what item.

  And they can 'share' to be dropped items.

  The owl can (and will) only drop Equipment.

  You did not see the capx eh ?

  Ya know what they say, measuring is the only knowledge about c2 performance.

  I think that the distance check wins.

  I did not expect that 'moving invisible objects' has almost no effect on performance compared to 'moving visible objects'.
