  Or if you want it to tile you can use a distortmap "lerpin" U/V.

  The main use of Python at the moment is for high precision calculations, some online use, and the occasional need of a function not provided by existing plugs. So no you don't need to know Python.

  As to whether or not Construct is right for you depends on how much control you want to have over everything.

  Look at it this way:

  Click and point engines = Lincoln Logs

  Construct = Leggos

  Also I didn't notice any new bug reports on the tracker, so if you get a crash, and you can replicate it, please make a report on the tracker. Otherwise it may never be fixed.

  The first is going into the negatives for me. It may be going into scientific notation, but its running so fast you might not see the e.

  On the second I'm not sure, but setting the x/y speed in always may be interfering with your up key event.

  Also having the up key event as a sub event in always wont change anything.

  Something that always bothered me in CC... no calls for flip or mirror in actions.

  Could we get those added for C2?

  Fair enough. I figured it would be pretty complicated, plus the fact that you would be adding all that redundant code for each new behavior.

  Two questions.

  Will it be possible to import animations at runtime?

  And what do you think about having animations as behaviors?

  Any1 have any idea how to add 1 value to a variable for each object ordered by X(or anything else but each one must have 1 more value then the last one object)?

  But after they had their value added them it would stop..

  Then they would be organized with X.point by variable*100

  but if one of the objects would be deleted then instead of a 'hole' on the middle, they would be self-organized again.. Not sure if what I'm trying to do is clear in this post..

  I'm having trouble right now trying to re-organize the objects after one is deleted.. any ideas?

  For each object ordered by x - set variable to loopindex

  Here's a simplified example of what I was thinking.

  I don't see the point, each instance can hold several variables.

  Then use a for each object.

  You could try all of the same object with different frames.
