  • Cybrknight, thanks Steve.

    If you have other alts, please keep on posting with them so you can finally be fully banned from our community as you rightly deserve.

    I love smart people like you.

  • I'm not sure to fully understand what you mean.

    If you check out the how do I FAQ, you can probably mix some items like

    "Several RTS mechanics (camera movement, selecting units, etc...) - LINK"

    and

    "Resize handles on a sprite example - LINK"

    To make some kind of interface like your are looking for maybe ?

    As to rotate, it's based on the "Set angle" action of your objects/instances.

    Perhaps post a capx with a detailed explanation of your interface as you have it at the moment.

  • There is much to your current project than just that event. And I'm afraid the issue lies in those other events.

    Post/attach your complete capx for us to see what's going on.

    This event alone does what you expect it to do. You're probably setting/resetting the angle in another event.

    Check out this topic and if no Indonesian Construct community exists, start one and post about it.

    But as far as Scirra's forums go, stick strictly to English (and/or provide a translation to your posts).

    Anyway, such a topic goes against that rule and can't be moderated, so hereby, closing.

  • Use sprites with several frames.

    I explained this process in this tutorial amongst other things.

  • First of, when reporting a bug please follow the guidelines and ALWAYS provide a capx of the issue.

    Apparently you haven't noticed that for "precision work" you can change the size of the grid.

    You need object to snap an object inside a 32X32 grid ? Change the size to 16X16 here you have the correct snapping.

    Also snap to grid is strictly a "in editor" tool, nothing to see with runtime.

  • It was interesting, thanks Lisa.

  • Well if the issue is with the source code, you can always send your capx with your submission. That's where your own work/code lies.

    Ludum Dare accepts capx as source file submission for example.

  • Are you sure you are not "generating" the text every tick ?

    It's not clear from your explanation, but do you set the text content in a "On start of layout" event or any kind of triggered event of the like ?

    Otherwise you are generating a 900X3000 texture every tick and wondering why it is eating CPU.

  • If Apshai is correct in his formula, use int(random(1,7)) + int(random(1,7)) to indeed generate a result for 2 to 12 only made of integers.

    The int() allows to make sure only integers are returned and the max range value in the random() function is never reached, so if you want a result at some point to actually be 6, go for a max range of 7.

    I think I remember a long time ago the very same subject being discussed in the forums already (like back in 2012/2011).

    I can't remember exactly the formula given in the end, and I don't remember if there wasn't a recommendation to actually use round(), ceil() or int().

    I can't seem to find back the discussion though, I hope this helps you nonetheless.

  • Moved.

  • Katala: Intersting point.

    For sure IWBTG and other masocore games (yeah I learn that term from kayin's twitter account today, let me show off a bit ) do rely on frustrating the player and conscious unfairness.

    Nevertheless, what is the percentage of players who actually do play those games on the long term and enjoy them ?

    I mean I truly enjoyed watching the I wanna be the guy: Gaiden stream at evo 2012.

    Nevertheless, as a player, I did not went past the second level and haven't really tried that hard either. It's time consuming and far less fun to me to play that type of game.

    Still I wouldn't consider it a bad game because of the design/level analysis I made of it, and the fun I had watching the stream but I know it's definitely not the type of game I enjoy playing once I'm confronted to the released version (which is different from the one on stream).

    It's too challenging and unfair to my patience

    Perhaps if I took the time and decided that "I wanna be the guy", I could go further. Truth is I never had the determination to do it yet
