  1) the sprite object has a 'Object is On-Screen?' condition; not sure about other object types.

  2) if you mean the gravity checkbox of the physics behavior, then no, there is no expression for that. if you mean the gravity of the platform behavior, then yes, you can get that value with an expression & put it in a textbox. when adding the 'set text' action, double-click the sprite object in question in the bar at the bottom of the dialogue & check out the 'platform' tab to get to the expression.

  If you don't mind me asking, is that using Euler Angles, Axis Angle, or Quaternions for it's Rotation Matrix?

  s far as i can tell, i'm probably using euler angles, that is: three consecutive transformations around the x, y and z axis. i knew i wouldn't be the only one hacking at this :) i'll publish asap so anyone with quaternions up their sleeve can improve on it.

  > d say that's a possibility

  efinitely; but more complex/irregular models are going to be a hassle, since the mesh always needs to be a grid, which has nasty implications for modelling.

  working on methods to abuse the mesh distort feature ...

  in this case, rotating the mesh freely around 3 axis.

  i'm rather happy to finally have it working & make the 'butt-ugly techdemo screenshot' milestone; i'll publish all the tools once they're finished.

  the holes in the mesh are intentional transparency :P

  it might help to throw in a few explicit casts to string, like:

  SET NPC('STATUS'): str( NPC.Value( str( NPC.Value('STRING'))))

  not sure, though.

  in 99.2, the comment-dialogue has an empty drop-down-menu and a button labeled Button2. what does it do?

  i just want to check wether this is just me (else i'll file reports), since it is a bit strange:

  • start a fresh construct 99.2
  • open a new dx runtime, go straight to the event sheet
  • double-click the event sheet, but click 'cancel' in the dialogue
  • repeat the above 2 more times
  • on the next double-click, the dialogue does not show up
  • on another double-click (or any other interaction) construct closes.

  another one:

  • fresh construct, fresh layout, straight to events
  • add an event, use any system object condition, finish adding the event
  • add another event, select the system object, click next ...

  kills my construct everytime. how about you?

  well, the beauty (& potential) of a feature is in the eye of its users :)

  you never know what people might come up with, so i'm a strong advocate of offering as many entry points as possible.

  ashley, it would be very nice if you could spare the time to drop me a note (or wikipage) describing the format; i'd really like to try this, but i'm too much of a scriptkiddie to seriously unravel constructs source code.

  i really appreciate the new feature, and i was wondering if it was possible to edit the meshes in any other editor, since i've never heard of the .mesh format before.

  if that's not possible, i'd be interested in the rationale behind inventing another 'proprietary' format versus rolling with any of the existing, widespread & readable ones...
