  • If you're not resizing them I would suggest not using image points, and just placing them manually. Hotspot x-1, y+4 etc.

    Image points uses some trig that won't always work correctly at that size due to the math with angles.

    A non trig type of behavior to replace Pin might be in order here.

    It just wouldn't handle scaling very well, or rotations....

  • Yeah, this uses the official Pathfinder behavior, so as long as it's solvable, and sized correctly it will do that.

    That's something you can test for without this.

    The template is made to help reduce instances riding on top of each other, and it gives you a choice of different formations to form at the end of the path.

    Like you might not want a grid formation in a narrow path, or a single line in a corner.

  • I would say no, The W10 iot is very basic, there is no real gui. It's basically just designed to be a server.

    Perhaps C3, but there's little info on that.

  • Amazon is pretty much the same as Google. The xdk guides it fairly well.

    Amazon does not want you to use Google services, or ads however.

  • You mean palettes in the image editor?

  • Toodles.

  • The editor just had an update that adds that ability.

    Just stick all objects that need to be z ordered into a family, then create a family variable, and make an every tick event that puts the family y into that variable.

    Then add another action in the same event to set the z. Its under System> Sort Z order.

    That goes both ways, you can always make one, or have one commissioned.

  • Heh

    That's what I was using:

    Sprite.Spline.Point(Sprite.Spline.CurSegP1,"x")

    Sprite.Spline.Point(Sprite.Spline.CurSegP1,"y")

  • Well it would add to the value of C2, but in that respect if it were redone by Scirra to include the video api, then it should be only available in the paid version of C2.

    It clearly falls under their licensing, of which no one has made a commotion about profit from ads already available on Gamejolt, or Newgrounds, or Kongregate.

  • Thanks a lot

    A nice feature would be adding the facing at n-th point... do you think this could be possible?

    You mean the angle?

  • Since the system now offers a reasonable z sorter I guess It really doesn't need it in the plug.

  • Ok, that would be simpler.

    Thanks again.
