  Here's a mosaic tile mechanism for transitioning from one texture to another. Textures can come from various sources.

  Update 2018-05-18:

  C3 conversion (C2engine only).

  bhtmosaic_v1_4.c3addon

  (Remove the .zip)

  v1.4 is just 1.3 with some typos fixed.

  Update 2014-08-12:

  Added hot-spot. This is a 'somewhat breaking-change' in that the hotspot will report Top-left when it is actually Center, for any current projects. Just change the value to Center to correct. New projects will behave correctly, defaulting to Top-left, like all other plugins.

  Update 2014-04-13:

  Fixed opacity bug.

  Update 2014-04-04:

  Added ability to set individual cell textures.

  Plugin:

  bhtmosaic_v1_3.c2addon

  Example code:

  CardExample.capx

  IndividualTextures.capx

  RotationExample.capx

  Examples:

  CardExample

  RotationExample

  Only supports WebGL!

  The simplest way to figure this out is to make a quick test project and manually assign the data into the array in the manner that you expect to see it. Dump the JSON string out, and then copy that format for your input data.

  Are you implementing the full solution with the image file and the code to set up the various sizes? My sample file shows how to do this.

  The buttons are stealing the GUI focus, so any key presses are being directed to the button. Use sprites instead of actual buttons.

  I believe it only bundles animations into spritesheets, not individual sprites. Export the example, Space Blaster, and you'll see the results.

  Just go to Program Files/Construct2 and add them to the examples, templates directories.

  That's fine. You also need to block any input, as the player could randomly click the 'black' screen, or press keys, and trigger events.

  Look for 'Preload' and 'Preloads complete'.

  Images are preloaded.

  The layer takes care of the visuals, but you still need to deal with blocking the events when not visible. This is typically done with a Group. There's plenty of threads discussing the issues with HUDs.

  Wait does not block for 12 seconds, otherwise your whole game would lock up. Try adding System::'Trigger once while true' to your condition.

  1) you've pretty much described what to do. Make a circle sprite, and set it's position to the mouse every tick. On click, check the 'Is overlapping' condition.

  3) this particular effect doesn't exist yet. There is a thread on it. The simplest thing to do is to draw your own glow and display it as needed.

  7) there are threads discussing smoke effects.

  Set myValue when creating A, then On Create A->create B, set B.myValue = A.myValue, etc.
