  • So many ways to do this, all depends on how dark you want the room that is not lit, so on and so forth.

    What if you just had 2 layers? One for the background with items you see and a layer on top of that with a hole you can see through and move that whole layer? Of course the canvas for the top layer would extend beyond your window in all views. There are certainly other tricks along this line with just 2 layers, again, it all depends on the exact type of look you are going for.

    Maybe you are going for an effect like in this game?

  • I have got this down to setting the opacity to 100 when overlapping ,

    However the whole of the sprite image is set to 100,

    How do I set it so just the overlapping pixels are set to opacity 100 ?

    thanks.

  • Hi,

    I am building a garage and would like to be able to look around it with a flash light,

    Am I right in thinking this will use 3 layers ?

    The background, with a car/sprite on it / Layer 0

    A lights off layer {all black} / Layer 1

    The Flash light as a sprite with a transparent middle / Layer 2

    how do I set it that I can see the car though the hole in the flash light sprite ?

  • If you only have three Textboxes in total, you can actually address each directly. If there are more, you need to pick each, store the value to compare, and then test the three values. Here a sample using the text itself.

    Thanks blackhornet, have it working in my project , think it should be quite easy to scale up as well,

    Thanks Again

  • I am trying to compare 3 variables of 3 instances of the same object,

    I know that it will need to go , compare A with B and if they are = then compare B with C and if there are = then action()

    The bit I am stuck on is how to fill in the box to call the 2nd variable.

    any help gratefully appreciated,

    Thanks,

    The Text box object is called winnum and the instance variable is known as playthis and the UIDs are 23, 24 ,25

  • Thanks danialgoodwin that`s how I am trying to work round it, am a bit lost on how to call the first two instances to compare

  • Hello, I have 3 Text Instances of and object numbered 0,1,2 and they produce the numbers between 0 and 4 , on a button click,

    Can you show me how I can check / compare the 3 Instances on each tick to see if they are all =

    thanks.
