  I've been using this since R82 or so, which means I've run into a few problems now and then so happy to share them.

  That said, that was the first time trying to do that, so I just spent 5 mins trying to figure out the logic of what needed to happen ^_^

  The Z order is what determines that.

  Go to the View tab, check the Z Order box and you will see the Z Order Window pop up. I could have controlled this through code, through Sprite Z Order functions, but I'm sure you can have fun doing so ^_^

  The reason is because when Period = 0, Sun.X = 0 too. What you need is decrease the amount you are multiplying cox(Period) by.

  This should fix it. And I've used the size of the layout in the maths to ensure it'll always be the same, even if you change layout sizes, as it was originally 3200x900 for and it's 1600x900 in this example.

  What you need is to layer the sprites and maybe look into using blend modes, I'd assume this would be what you're after https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/108 ... indow.capx

  If not, can you post a CAPX ?

  I have to agree with Tarkion, we'd need a CAPX to help you.

  Just spent the last half hour fixing it, I'm assuming this will be more effective for what you were trying to do https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/108 ... round.capx

  If you don't want to use a 3rd party Plugin, I'd use the Pathfinder behaviour, and plot a bunch on 8x8 sprites with a numeric variable, that goes from sprite instance 1, to sprite instance 2 etc. That way it's organic looking, and you can use it on any PC without having to install the plugin each time.

  Actually, I'd select the Layer you want to alter, then on the right hand side look for Effects, Add/Edit effects then add the Brightness effect and alter it's brightness to say 25-50 when night and 100 when day

  Click on the sprite in the Objects window, then on the right hand side you should see a sub section in the Properties window called Common, and under that size. Just type in the new size you wish, and all instances of the sprite on the Layout will change size.

  Alternatively, you can put a line of code that says

  (System) On Start of Layout >>> (Sprite) Set Size/Scale[/code:xnitp6u3]

  Try this, there are more advanced ways, but that is one of the simpler

  Topic seems easy, but it becomes complicated (for me at least) fast

  I'm working on a city simulator, and I am wanting to store the value of the Population over the last 10 years.

  Currently I am using the following

  (System) If Month = 12  >>> (Array) Push front Population on X axis[/code:3ck04xf0]
  And that works fine.
  
  Now I'm wanting to use the same Array and store values such as how many buildings there were, what money was in the back, accidents per year, etc in the X,0,Z, X,1,Z 3,2,Z etc of the array
  
  I can make a long winded coded that takes the value of X+8, Y and stores it in X+9,Y. X+7 and stores it in X+8,Y etc but I'd rather it just push the values along. Which is what currently happens but only in the X,0,0 section of the array.
  
  Could someone please help with this as I'm sure it's not something that is unique to what I'm trying to do.
