    edit: this is just to generate a whole level, I guess it doesn't really answer your question. I'm not sure why you need a layout per room.

  • There are many resources online describing algorithms to accomplish this kind of thing, and even a plugin or two if you search the add-ons forum.

  • Hey, codah - not late at all thanks for your input!

    So I thought that example was just what I was looking for, however if you put any kind of pattern on that green square and drag it out, you'll see it's still dragging from underneath, is there no way to bring it to the front so it has the effect of popping out of the original sprite, seems everything i try just makes it come from underneath O_o

    Is there a reason that won't work for you?

    edit: how about this. Sorry I'm pretty rusty.

  • Hi, bit late to this party but here's a sample I did last year, see if it helps.

    Yip, the permissions is annoying. Wish we could have user select it via options or something an have it by pass that pop up.

    Might actually be a deal-breaker for my app, I can imagine users wondering why other camera apps don't make them do that every time...

    Do you, or anyone, have knowledge of any 3rd party camera plugins? I found one that it seems it doesn't work and is unsupported, and anyway it's for CocoonJS.

  • I use it on my phone (android). The issue, is, sorry been awhile, is the source. Your phone generally has 2 camera's. You have to select the correct one.

    Um, I think it is called request camera, then select source 0 as front camera, well that is what I did.

    I made a small handheld mirror for my sister in-law so she could put on makeup.

    haha nice Thanks for responding. Yeah I got the whole process but I was wondering why there are so many triggers. Anyway I've since got it working on my phone to the point where I evaluate the front/back cameras and take a photo so I guess that's good! Although having to get the user to 'Allow' the camera is annoying.

  • Is UserMedia usable on Android or only meant for webcams? The only examples are for webcam. I've done some simple test code and run on Android, and for starters I get multiple "On retrieved media sources" triggers for a single call of "Get media devices". I would've expected one. Thanks for any help.

  • Hi codah

    you have anything? D:

    ineed grab information weather too

    no..

  • Couple of things. You have a local variable which will be reset immediately (i.e. next tick). Also your log messages in both functions are identical which might cause confusion when reading logs. Plus we can't see other things, like how you are calling the functions, the log messages themselves, etc.

    edit: not to mention you don't need 2 functions to do this, unless this is just experimenting

  • (0,2) are 3 frames 0,1,2.

    (0,1) is correct.

    That's what I thought, but the manual says it doesn't include the upper number.

    random(a, b)

    Generate a random float between a and b, including a but not including b.

    So the manual must be wrong.

  • Have you set animation speed to zero?

  • Oh right. Sometimes I store the previous value of a variable and compare the current value against the previous value (with a trigger once). That works as well because it keeps triggering as the value changes back and forth. Many ways to do it, but sounds like you've got it sorted.

  • Why not use an 'on collision' event instead?

  • If Sprite1 has a Text instance variable Variable1, then

    Sprite1.Variable1 gives you the string in an expression

    e.g. System | Sprite1.Variable1 = "test"
