  • You might be able to use the system event "Compare two values" and then use:

    Audio.PlaybackTime(Tag)

    Get the current playback time in seconds of a sound with a tag. This starts at 0 and counts up to the duration, except for looping sounds which keep counting up past the duration.

    e.g.

    Compare two values: Audio.PlaybackTime("yourSound") > 2 |Trigger once : Your action

  • dop2000 , well at least Wossi won't need to ask why the sprite now only turns white!

  • Wossi

    I think it's because the color settings for SetColor range between 0-100, not 0-255. I've made the same mistake myself!

  • Would something like this work for you?:

  • jatin1726:

    The regex defines what can and can't appear in the email address; this part:

    ^[A-Z0-9._%+-]+

    ...defines what characters can appear before the "@". The "@" ensures that there has to be an instance of the "@" symbol.

    This part defines what can appear after the "@":

    [A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,}$

    Note that neither of these parts allow "@"

    This isn't the only regex that can validate emails. If you google "regex" and "email" you will find a whole bunch of other examples, some more thorough than others.

  • The capx I shared above demonstrates this as described. Here's the link again:

    Type the email address into the text box, press enter. The text above the text box will change depending upon whether the email is valid or not.

    You can use something like this:

    The important bit is in function "AB":

    If (A=0 & B=1) show "TRUE", else if (A=1 & B=0) show "TRUE", else show "FALSE"

    At runtime click on the A and B values to toggle between 0 and 1

    In the demo I supplied the following shows as valid:

    ...and these all show as invalid:

    ex@mple@gmail.com

    example@gm@il.com

    ex@mple@gm@il.com

    example@@gmail.com

    Please can you supply an email address that is working incorrectly?

  • jatin1726 I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean that invalid email addresses with 2 "@" symbols are being marked as valid, or that emails with 2 "@" are not being allowed in the demo I supplied? Can you give me some written examples of some emails that aren't working correctly?

  • I would guess northern European, definitely not British (I'm a Brit). Sometimes it sounded a bit French, others Scandinavian. Am I close?

    You can use the modulo (%) expression to achieve this:

    If score%10 = 0

    If score != 0 | play reward animation

    Modulo checks the remainder when you divide the number to the left of % by the number to the right.

    You need to check that the score isn't 0, as 0%10 = 0.

  • jatin1726

    You can use the "System|Test regex" condition to test the text in a text input box:

    String: TextBox.Text

    Regex: "^[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,}$"

    Flags: "gi"

    This should capture pretty much all email configs. Use an "else" statement beneath this condition for your invalid email actions.

  • Thanks, you too!

  • 25games It's essentially the same problem in both examples:

    In the first example the issue is with event 3; you don't actually have any enemies picked, so if *any* enemy's distance is less than the min distance then *all* the enemies will stop. You can either use a "for each enemy" condition or swap the condition around to check if enemy.minDistance > distance(Enemies.X,Enemies.Y,Player.X,PlayerY) to ensure each is checked individually.

    In the second example the problem is with the Else conditions in event 7 and 8: event 6 will check all Characters for "attacking"; If *any* Character is not attacking then *all* Characters whose velocity > 10 will be set to run, but the "Else" in 8 means that if *any* Character's velocity is less than 10 then *all* Characters will be set to idle.

    The trick here is to use inverse conditions: swap the Else in event 7 for "Character is NOT attacking". Make the velocity check and event 8 sub-events of event 7 and swap that second else for character velocity <= 10.

    As a general rule, avoid using Else for checking against objects, especially where multiple instances are concerned.
