  • you could merge the top two events into one:

    +every second

         >add 1 to systemtime

         >set wavetype to ceil(systemtime/25)

    Also you could merge all the enemy objects into just one object, with different animations, and a variable 'type' which makes them act differently.

    That way you could just do:

    +pick a random spawner instance

         ->spawn enemy

         ->set enemy.type to spawner.spawnnumber

  • The easiest way to link is with the .uid's

    i'd have something like:

    --

    +For each Sprite

    +Sprite.IconUID = 0

         >Sys | Create object Icon at Sprite.x,sprite.y

         >Sprite | set value IconUID to Icon.UID

    --

    and then, to set the position of Icons..

    --

    +For each sprite

    +Pick Icon by UID: Sprite.IconUID

         >Icon | set position to sprite.x, sprite.y

    Edit: For the whole positioning/ transparency thing you could do:

    +For each sprite

    +Pick Icon by UID: Sprite.IconUID

              >Icon | set position to clamp(sprite.x,Viewportleft(),ViewportRight()), clamp(sprite.y,ViewportTop(),ViewportBottom())

         +Sprite Is on Screen

              >Icon | set invisible

         +Else

              >Icon | set visible

  • Sounds like it should work fine.. can you upload a screenshot or .capx?

  • in your distance expression, you're multiplying wall.y by 0.1.. you'll wanna keep that outside the brackets so it's

    distance()*0.1

    although i think 0.5 might be more what you're after

    also you should save it as a .capx file and upload that, it's the folder contents but zipped up, and can be opened by c2 directly.

  • Why not just make your own drag and drop with events..?

    +on mouse clicked on object

         >set object.drag to 1

    +if object.drag = 1

         >set object.Y to mouse.y

    +on mouse left click released

         >set object.drag to 0

  • There's an action for lowering the position/velocity iterations

    lowering it is supposed to be less cpu heavy but honestly, last time I fiddled with it it didn't make any difference.

  • It's good,

    you could do this with multiple instances of the same scarf object (instead of scarf1,scarf2 etc) and a loop, .. that way you could make it however long you wanted with the same events.. but if that's not a big deal, and if you don't mind the extra objects, then this is fine.

    also if you increase the linear damping, the scarf will trail more. It's basically air resistance.

    guys, look at nimtrix's cap, you don't need anything like that..

  • Nope, 'for each' is all you need.

    +For each object

    +compare two values: is distance(player.x,player.y,object.x,object.y)

        -> actions

  • If you know for sure what the value of the instance variable is on the object you want to affect.. you could just do:

    +on object collision with object

    +object.variable = [number]

         ->your actions

    If however, you don't know what the value is.. but need to check for the one with a lower value for example.. (like health points) you could do:

    +on object collision with object

    +for each object ordered by object.health ascending

         -> stop loop

         -> your actions etc

  • Have you looked at the toon effect? (just making sure)

    It doesn't do opacity thickness or colour but I guess it would be a good place to start..

  • The reason the distance was increasing is because on every single tick it moves in a straight line that is 90 degrees from the direction to the centre.. In a sense it's not truly curved, the angle is just corrected 60 times a second.

    Imagine what happens on a single tick, and if that distance was 200 pixels instead.. i think that makes it easier to see why it's moving further away from centre.. i hope .. I can totally understand the confusion though.

    edit: you should try something like this, it's more or less what newt was saying.

  • ptbcomposer

    int(clock) will clear the decimals

  • Nope, it just returns a random number in between the two values.

    and if you only put one number in like random(5) it will interpret that like random(0,5)

  • How does the button actually work? Is it fading out, or animated?

    What does it do before it allows you to click on it?
