  • Never figured Skynet would be open sourced.

  • This is a "biggy".

    Also, how soon till you have a plug, and where does the waiting line start?

  • I've had something like that happen when I opened a cap from my dropbox folder, and then closed it.

    Something to do with how the cap is changed when the persist is rewritten I'm guessing.

    So basically, don't open from that folder.

  • Will there be the option to deactivate the behavior for the family?

    I can see times where that might be useful, as well as a big pain.

    Also how about linking "For Each" & an attribute?

    ->For Each Solid ordered by .x ascending
-->Send to front [/code:vhg4mm7b]
That might be quite useful as well, but again what would happen if that Solid behavior was deactivated in one or more of the objects?

  • Actually, couldn't this replace families as well?

    Perhaps a s a non layout object. Matter of fact that might take care of family variables as well.

    Variables for the family object, and instance variables for objects within the family.

    Question is would you assign attributes to the family or to the members?

    Oh and what about containers?

    Guess in theory you could do something like the object pairer.

    But that does kind of leave the "start of layout" attributes out in the cold without some sort of check box for them.

  • http://en.gravatar.com/ integration would be nice.

    Also have you two ever thought about an online version for C2 Html5?

  • Edit: We are also hopefully going to be moving to a much more powerful server when the site is ready for launch, so consider there to be no technical restrictions on your suggestions.

    Ok, how about a webchat like http://gamejolt.com/ ?

  • What's still kind of limiting about it? How is adding it as a behavior more limiting than ticking a checkbox?

    Its not, this actually could fix a lot of issues.

    Like the fact that center view on me is pretty much useless as an attribute if you have more than one object you want to follow. Same goes for solid, adding or removing the attribute was always buggy in C0.xx.

    More importantly I think this will add the possibility for many more types of attributes, like an outer bounding box attribute for example.

    Unlike solid or, per pixel, or bounding box, outer bounding box would only detect collisions around the perimeter of the object, IE no collisions within the box.

    Instant borders from one object instead of 4.

  • Set activated / deactivated "center view on me" does sound good, but when you think about it its still kind of limiting.

    I mean would you want really want center view on me every time?

    Then again as a behavior the plug could include some sort of scroll, or are you thinking more along the lines of having the possibility of a "scroll to me" behavior as well?

    Ok yeah, there's some potential there, way beyond just solid, and center view.

  • You've already used them.

    Item PV Equal to 2: Add attribute "Solid" is a state machine.

    So if hp > 1 ... hammer time

    hp < 2 ... cant touch this

  • You could always loose the attribute, and just use a state machine with object is overlapping at offset.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Its true, I'm on here way too much.

    Anyway Steven's suggestion is usually what I would do instead of trying to add the attribute.

    The way its acting tho does suggest that perhaps your comparing an integer to a float.

    IE 2 does not equal 2.1, or 1.9.

  • True, 255 would be the absolute color of the sprite.

  • Cool!

    Pretty good idea too, considering the current development status.

  • And he would have gotten away with it if it hadn't been for those crazy kids!

    Oops, Scooby doo flashback... sorry.
