  • You can set the text box size to the text pixel size plus add a margin amount.

    TextWidth

    TextHeight

    Return the size of the actual text content within the text object's rectangle. Note the Text object must be drawn before these have the correct values. If you set the text then immediately access these expressions, they won't yet have the correct value. Adding a Wait 0.1 seconds action will usually solve this.

  • Thanks newt i’ll give it a go.

  • Why isn’t the drawing canvas rotatable?

    I’d like to be able to make an object by conbining lots of sprites. Rather than pinning or containing lots of objects together I should be able to paste them into one drawing canvas then use that as a sprite.

  • Volbyte > much better revenue share for indies and less crowded marketplace than Steam

    You know as soon as the store opens everyone with a game on steam will just upload it to epics as well.

    They could give devs the option to give out keys like steam, so If you already have the game in your steam library you’d get it free on epics store.

  • I believe it means if you make over $5000 on a game you need to purchase the business licence.

  • Yes you can, but if you make over a certain amount ($5000) you need to upgrade to the business licence.

  • There are examples of weighted probability on the forums if you do a search.

    The very simplest form is something like

    int(choose(1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,4,4,4,5,5,6))

  • Getting better and better thanks.

  • Sometimes actions and conditions are not accessible depending on your event.

  • wow stunning, great work.

  • Thanks for the encouraging comments!

    I've now added the ability to pick up and drop minions. A single click to pickup and again to drop, holding down shift allows you to pick up more than one.

    Shadow needs a bit of work.

    Next i'll add slapping them to speed up work.

  • Really cool. Can something like this be achieved with this effect?

  • Are you a registered company of just a team of guys making a game in your spare time? How big is your project?

    Perhaps it makes more financial sense for each of your team to buy a personal license then when your project nears completion and you are ready to release upgrade to the business license if you become a company.

  • You can't really unless you store them as tokens in a string. eg "1,2" then use tokenat() to get them and int() to turn them back into values.

  • I added a finite state machine system to the imps to control their behaviour states, its simple for now but can be easily expanded on later for things like building and combat etc. It also make bug hunting easier as it gives some idea what state is causing any issues, although its been surprising bug free so far.

    So the imps current states allow them to check for any dig jobs and carry them out, when there are none they go idle for now.

    Tiles being dug out now also record how many imps have picked them to dig. I used this as an extra picking parameter so imps spread themselves out and dont all go for the same tile, with the exception of if a corridor is being dug then they will help each other.

    So the job picking order is now > tiles in reach > tiles in los > closest tile > tile with least imps digging it else tiles not in los > closest tile > tile with least imps digging it.

    There is a bug in R123.2 los behaviour so at the moment imps see all dig orders they can reach which throws off their picking order, but that should work in the next c3 update.

    Next challenges are giving tiles being dug health so they dont get dugout instantly, being able to pick up and drop imps, being able to slap imps to make them work faster.
