  • I do not see Set CSS Styles for Textbox I am running the beta 124, wonder if that is issue. Anyone see it that is running a stable or lower version?

  • Is there a Set CSS Style for textbox? I cant seem to find it. I found it on buttons. thanks

  • like Sushin said option 2 is the best way to do it, with Imagepoints. That is what I have seen mostly in tutorials and is the best reccomended way to do what your asking.

  • Great thanks YANN, ok so it seems it will be 10am my time. Great I should be able to make it :) Currently 1:25pm EST :)

  • Hey Kyatric the timer you have on the Reddit page, it that to the exact minute of when class starts or just to the day in general? If its to the minute class starts we were both wrong on when class is in the US EST, instead of 11am it will 10am. just wondering. thanks

  • Being one of the newer members I will surly support that the forums are quite alive! In the 30 days I have been following C2 the forums have grow quite rapidly. I check them daily because I am a freak and there is always new posts.

    Also when I post I get a good set of reply's from "old" experienced members typically that same day and not just other newbies trying to help. I think C2 has a long road of life ahead of it.

    On the converse I have looked at other tools and their forums are much less trafficked, I posted on one of the "other" tools like C2 forum and took three days to get any kind of response and the response was horrible.

  • Excellent, thank you. Just want I needed. I have it working and am now working on making the code more generic, making good headway on that too. Thanks again.

  • Is there a way to "Group" a few objects and treat them as one "Unit"? AND move them as one Unit keeping their relative positions to each other?

    I think this is what Containers are designed for, but my problem is I want to DRAG/DROP the "Group" as a whole and maintain each objects position to one another without custom code for each and every object. With the few things I have tried, on DRAG/DROP all the objects in the Container are positioned to the new X/Y, instead of the "primary" objects new position and their position relative to it, so fail.

    See attached .capx. You will see as you Drag the Large Green Square the two rects that "belong" to it will follow and re-position, but that is due to a every tick that is not scale-able and when one of those rects overlaps with the rect on the Red square it will accept the placement, otherwise it will throw the Big Green and its rects to a "starting" location.

    What I would like to do is make everything generic, so I don't need 8000 lines of code, one-off for if Obj1 is moved, Obj2 is moved, every tick move Obj1 and all its parts etc...

  • What about throw in an instance var and have a custom condition to filter? Slightly messy but possible option.

  • What if the developer of the plugin wrote some code that is executed on the C2 editor side, hits the plugin website (ajax or open a new window I suppose), checks some value (version number) and if true, prompt C2 user and tell them an update is available, then its on them to go download, sounds pretty reasonable of a solution, similar to how other software does it. my two cents.

  • Ok wow total oversight, I apologize for that. I do see folders in there. Any idea how I can get Photos on DrobBox to show? Do I have a setting wrong or something on drop box?

    Thanks Kyatric

  • I'm sure whatever you choose will be far better then my 7 yr old PC. C2 runs quite well on it.

  • Link to .capx file (required!):

    dropbox.com/s/l5q4ucxt7rqh4sx/MiniAdventure.capx

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Add an Object to a Project Subfolder

    2. Add Event

    3. You will NOT SEE the Object(s), but you can still access them if you know their names.

    For Example:

        A. If Keyboard is in a Project Subfolder

        B. Add Event

        C. Begin Typing K... It will appear on the first letter and you can select it.

    Observed result:

    Objects that are placed in Project Subfolders do not appear in the Add Events Panel. Seems to affect all object types, but I did not do extensive testing on that.

    Expected result:

    Object should appear in the Add Events Panel

    Browsers affected:

    N/A - Editor based

    Operating system & service pack:

    Win Vista SP2

    Construct 2 version:

    123.2 Paid

  • INTERESTING FIND!

    So I did what you suggested and all good, but I also stumbled onto something very interesting, you don't actually need the Diagonals. Yes, check this out.

    I have 4 Sprites for N,E,S,W setup in that configuration. I have the events setup so that "Is in Touch" so as you drag your finger across N Hero moves North, as you drag your finger across E Hero moves East and so forth, BUT Here is the magic IF your finger drags/is overlapping two sprites for example N and E the Hero moves NE, Yes diagonally North-East.

    That is excellent, I am sure Ashley is going to be like duh I coded that in there :)

    Nice find, saves me 4 other sprites or frames.

    Thanks

  • Ok Ashley, I see how you can tweak the interface and add value. So when you are on a Layout, the UI knows what objects are being used on that Layout and therefore will show appropriate Layers in the DD List under Properties, so if I click on an Object in the objects panel that is not in use Layers is not available, why not do the same for the objects?

    What I mean is if a Object is not in use on a Layout, I would say hide it, but then you couldn't add it to the Layout, so grey it out or fade it slightly, some kind of indicator, you already have the code to determine this. Anyhow maybe you already have it on the list.

    Thanks
