  Thanks!

  Yeah I think those are predictable stats, since your system is beefier than mine.

  Here's an example of using json to load a mesh:

  dropbox.com/s/uvxjqbhg54xsmm6/zload.c3p

  The "model" used has a grid of 100x100 for 10k faces.

  I start to dip fps with 9 instances so about 90k is my max.

  You can test your own system by clicking the button and dragging the instance around.

  Please post your results if you feel like sharing. It would be a good idea to figure out how much we can do with the feature.

  I was playing around with z height on mesh, and I noticed that the z is not refreshed until the mesh itself changes position. See example project.

  Is that the way it should be?

  If so, that's going to knock on doing animations that way.

  Nah, this is not true. The amount of new features added to C3 in the past couple of years is mind blowing!

  Yeah, check out the other main engines, and its no comparison.

  Then again most of them will tell you what they are working on.

  We have the beta system instead. /snark

  If it doesn't happen every time then its the server side.

  Does your site use some sort of cdn?

  Oddly enough you can do that without any behaviors...

  And with a few slight changes you get a starfield nebula type thing:

  I was thinking one way to perhaps do this without digging in to the C3 codebase would be to do it via a behavior. You add the behavior to an object, and if the object is picked you can reference it's picked index in the sol something in a form like you can with the iid or Sprite(0), but instead using the behavior Sprite.myPickBehavior(0)

  I don't know enough about code to say if that's even possible, but it would be pretty slick.

  Then again I don't know what else the behavior could do, other than perhaps work as some class type of thing such as Solid did in Construct Classic, minus the solid physical aspects.

  Actually its quite useful to be able to reference an object that's not in the SOL, and not wind up having it being put into it. Although it might be a nice feature to have one day, just one that works in a different method.

  Thank you for clearing that up.

  Yeah I'm not sure what he means here.

  It would be cool if we had something like that, but yeah it would break things if it did this as described.

  Ashley you said:

  Sprite(0).X gives you the first picked sprite instance's X, Sprite(1).X gives you the second picked sprite instance's X, and so on.

  But I don't see that happening to picked objects. Sprite(0).x always gives the first index.

  Not that a expect a change at this point in time.

  Where does the sense of entitlement that every suggestion should get a reply or feedback come from?

  Seems like common courtesy. They did make the suggestions site after all.

  That being said a simple yes, or no thanks will do.

  There was a suggestion for a suggestions sub Reddit. I think that's brilliant.

  It should be made no matter what decisions are made about the suggestions site.

  It would more than likely get better discussions about ideas due to the nature of Reddit.
