  • Hi

    I am using a plugin by Joe7 RandomArray, but sadly he doesn't seem to have been active for nearly 200 days!

    scirra.com/forum/plugin-randomarray_topic45277.html

    it allows random non duplicating array to be easily generated from a startValue in the Properties toolbar, but sadly there doesn't appear to be any way to "adjust" this startValue in the Add/Edit action's...

    So i am stuck with the initial value as per the properties

    Is there anyone who can take a peak ,and "tweak" and add this as a feature? so i can change it to a set number or variable?

    Many thanks for your time reading this and any help you can give.

  • vee many many thanks

    i had to download r116 to see your capx

    I did need the array to be 11 then, but fill it with something other than the numbers i needed, before refiling it with the randomNumbers , yes?

    I think i understand, hahahahha

    many thnaks again

    I am really really tired, so bear with me....

    My knowledge is weak, so at the start i set array width to 11 (because i wanted 11 numbers), but i then got 12 numbers... ? which is 1 too many!

    so to test this i set my array width to

    2,i get a variable at 0,1,2 thus 3 numbers

    5,i get a variable at 0,1,2,3,4 thus 6 numbers

    10,i get a variable at 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 thus 11 numbers as i wish...

    so i guess it starts at zero??????

    I have added a text box to print out every number generated by the randomNumber code, it SHOWS zero's appearing YET not being accepted into the array...? it seems to wait until it has all the rest of the numbers then add a zero at the end.

  • Hi Vee41

    Sadly I tried that before, that only gives me 10 numbers

    i.e 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 10...

    i need a total of 11 random non duplicating numbers including the Zero 0, but not always last... :(

    I am probably missing something really simple...but?

  • It was only a suggestion... and there is no need to get personal

    I thought maybe some more qualified individuals could Help and filter through things, so the development team didn't have to read through everything and thus lighten their load!

    this was my point, for the future and effective communications.

  • Hi

    Just a suggestion... I know that the development team is small and as such rather busy... so would it not be a good idea if there was a subforum where people could list their "wish list" "suggestions" "grips" etc?

    Perhaps the moderators could then collectively decide if the idea has any merit and then place it (perhaps better worded) into a holding area (for ALL to see, so to avoid lots of duplication).

    From this area the team can then look at into them as a when they have a chance and decide if they wish to implement or not.

    I (as a complete noobie) have made several suggestions and or possible nice to have's, as have others.(Anything which means more people find it easier to use ultimately makes it more popular..! so in effect we can all collectively help one another.

    If not my worry, is overlooking ideas and indeed lots of wasted forum duplication...

    So my suggestion... a supervised suggestions area (perhaps even some way to vote or order them in most importance to end users?)

  • Hi

    I have also sometimes found (in my very limited experience!)

    that i need to edit and save a sprite or sound file in another more suited program as it isn't "quite right", but... there doesn't seem to be a way to reimport the now amended file back into the project without closeing and re-opening the whole project again.

    Also is there a way to find and decide "exactly" what Z layer something is or should be on? other than promote to top or bottom?

    I would expect these features, would also make it more user friendly especially to us noobies who need to tinker more than some i guess!

    David

  • Hi

    Thank you for your responses... at least i wasn't going mad ... (well not yet anyway ha ha hah)

    i also have another "wish"... a nice to have... i dont know if anyone agrees? to add to the 2 already below?

    so...

    1) Add Blank "Event" or Blank "Action" wherever one wishes

    2) Paste or Add "Event" or "Action" wherever user wishes i.e not as last item...

    and now...

    3) The ability to highlight different areas of code, in different colours for quick visual seperation and finding of ones routines...?

    not too much to ask... :) to make it easier for us noobies to get into quicker!

    Is there a "suggestions" area i should direct my 3 suggestions?

    so that the development team may consider them? or not as the case may be?

    Many thanks

    David

  • Hi

    I also feel the ability to paste or add "exactly" where one requires the code, in either "add event" or "add action" would be helpful, as they always paste or add as the last item...

    one then has to find them select them and then drag them back to wherever required.

    David

  • Hi

    Really new to this... (so go easy!)

    As i jump around my code "editing things which dont work as i first thought!", I find it a little frustrating not being able to add a Blank "Add Event" or "Add Action"... unless i am missing something?

    I for one would find this feature helpful. It would allow me to then paste or drag code to these then or later on, or even just add a comment for later like "this area will be.... bla bla bla" etc.

    I am at present having to add an event or action, then delete them to give me a blank area.

    many thanks for any postive help any one can give... (i.e please no your a moroon type replies... :(
