  Having a brain fart on how to set up a vertical slider control for scrolling y over two layers, where slider.y max=windowheight, or layer 1 height, and scrolly max= layoutheight, or layer 0 height.

  Im trying set scrolly to lerp(0,layoutheight,... and the rest escapes me atm.

  Any thoughts?

  Yeah, works as expected, the sol gets updated on the next tick. However, wait set to zero is a bit conspicuous, as in theory, it should be the same as no wait action at all. That part may actually be a bug. The question is should it be changed, as it's a "feature" that's somewhat exploitable.

  Also as to updating the sol, I find it more advantageous to have to sol updated with another event, especially since you can place the destroy anywhere in the event.

  BTW If all that is still too confusing, try using the on destroy condition. Picked is remembered, including variables, and state.

  Just a quick demo of one way to implement something like CC's containers using iid's. Thanks again ASHLEY.

  Also uses some new features from r85, on create, etc, so you will need the update.

  iid container

  Thanks @7soul for rpg icons

  Trying to do like a container system using iid.

  My idea was the iid should mach up to picked, using pick nth...iid, since the instances are created, or destroyed at the same time.

  Should work as long as the number of matched objects is the same no?

  iidbug

  In the cap you press space, a group of objects is created. You can move the group, delete the group, or add more groups.

  Seems the iid's dont match up after a few deletions.

  Non technical description: see that little blue bar underneath the html5 logo at the beginning of the game? Thats the preloader.

  Loading assets separately is on the todo list.

  Until then, 50megs is just too much, even for pc's imo.

  Might point out that point sampling only works in webgl. If the browser doesn't support it, you get what ever sampling the browser uses by default,.... or lack there of.

  "cheeses", um yeah that one didn't translate well, should be chess I think, both singular, and plural.

  Anyway, good luck with the plugs, looking good already.
