  • Hi there, Alon,

    I'm not entirely sure what you're going for, but how about something like this?

    Thanks everybody for your kind helpful solutions!

    Purplemonkey you got it! that's what I was looking for. I will try to mess with it with stand animation instead of run/walk when not pressed see if it will also work.

  • Hey All!

    Situation: The player is moving to the right while I hold the right arrow key with WALK animation loop.

    This is what I want to do:

    When I press the S button (while walking), the player animation change to KICK and stand on the place BUT I'm still holding the Right Arrow key so when the KICK animation ends I want the player to continue moving to the right with the WALK animation.

    An explanation + capx file will be very helpful, thanks ahead!

  • hehe Jase00, I didn't think about minimaps and stuff like that... that's sound even more useful to me now.

  • shinkan that's actually a great tool I also never used it, thank you!

    Most 3rd party capture software let you capture the full screen, what if you have a long layout and you want to capture it on 100% zoom... same for a long long event sheet... that's another reason for a built-in button in C2 but... again, it's just me hehe

  • Hey Jase00,

    Thank you for your reply, I'm already have experience with capture software such as Camtasia Studio and many others but the thing is that they are 3rd party, means... not inside C2 with just 1 click away.

    So yes, it's not that complicated to capture a region or a screen using a 3rd party software, but I just thought it could be very useful for many future users like myself, or people who are not familiar with these capture options it could be a time saver, so our minds will stick to the programing/designing inside C2 without messing around with other things for just a quick screenshot.

    I agree, this is not the TOP feature... I just had to share because I feel like I could use such feature with a smile.

  • Yes! this is exactly what I was trying to do.

    I'm trying to understand the picking / UID and instance/global variables via the manual but believe it or not... the best way I've understood things in C2 were via Video Tutorials, maybe my brain gets it better that way because it actually shows me an example done a step by step.

    I'm trying to look for more video tutorials on these subject because I understand it's very important to understand how to use them and when, especially in more complicated situations... I must understood how it works in order to use them, that's for sure.

    Thank you once again for being so kind and patience with me, I appreciate it a lot.

  • Hey Kyatric!

    I'm 100% agree with you that .capx file is the best way to show and explore, no doubt.

    But sometimes you still need to show something specific, so it can be a bonus.

    The cool thing that we already have is that we can select with ctrl the parts we want and it will "mark" it.

    Capturing isn't a complicated task, especially for people like myself (Animator) who mess with graphics most of the time. but I still believe it could be useful, not the BEST feature ever for sure, but I absolutely know that if I had this button I would click it many times by now hehe...

    C2 is so amazing... I came from "another" software... so I'm still learning it and every day I feel more and more "at home" which is the most important thing for me as a user.

  • I just had to look on your file, and read your instructions to follow. but it's not working (your file).

    I can still rotate everything under the shape I clicked.

  • Hello all,

    I'm not sure if this is the right section.

    As a beginner of C2, I'm still learning it and getting help via the amazing community. Sometimes I need to show a screenshot of the event sheet or the layout (without the interface), so what I do is: Print screen and crop it, then uploading the file.

    Friendly UI feature for the next version:

    My suggestion is to add a "capture" button that will capture ONLY the inside of the Layout or Event sheet, and save as .PNG / .JPG

    It could be just an extra button (maybe right click on the Layout /Event sheet and capture will pop-up this 'capture' option) but it will be SUPER friendly and usable for the forums and for C2 developers in general because not all the time we want to send a .capx but just showing something, right?

    This will make life much easier with one click for something most of us use anyway.

    I have so many ideas for making C2 even more friendly but I don't want to flood you with my boring stuff...

    Keep on being so awesome you guys!

    Sorry about my bad English.

  • Unfortunately, I have no idea how to work with UID yet, so it was hard for me to follow your instructions.

    So, I took a look on the manual but it didn't help me to understand exactly what I'm doing.

    I did create an instance variable called: 'Selection' by clicking on the Sprite2 (the animated selection sprite) on the layout. but from that point you'll see what a mess I did because I need to understand it better, the manual didn't help me much because I better see see this in action to understand the logic behind it of store and restore variables and such.

    Lets say I don't have Sprite2 at all, (I just made it for fun anyway), is it still possible to do? or it will be easier with this extra sprite?

    Can please you try to instruct me more specific, step-by-step. I hope that I'll get more confidence in C2 by the day, I'm already messing with it a few days now and discover and learning new things every day!

    Here is a screenshot of what I did (marked the lines).

  • BTW - Do you think there is a way to make the rotate part (with the wheel) if there are few shapes over each other, so it will ONLY rotate the one that is clicked last?

    Not sure how to explain it because of my bad English but I wonder about it, right now it's rotating all the shapes under the mouse.

  • Thanks! it works like a charm!

    I have the very basic understanding of: " If this happened, than do that.. " that's how I've managed to make the very basic thing real fast.

    But when it comes to the variables and expressions... I still have so much more to learn and practice, I'm far away from having a brain of a programmer but this specific experience (thanks to your help of course) was a great way to start understand how it works. I appreciate it a lot.

  • Trying to follow your instructions but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong...

    I hope that I'm on the right direction.

  • First of all, Thank you for helping, I appreciate it!

    It's cloning the frame + position, GREAT!

    The only thing I try to understand is how to make also the angle... I'm trying to mess with it but still kind of lost.

    I've edited the 'Create object" line you made, and did this:

    Sprite.X +Sprite.Angle

    Sprite.Y +Sprite.Angle

    But it's not working... well I'm still new to this all thing.
