  Don't get too excited,The physics are going haywire now for some reason.When i choose the eclipse collision the program crashes ,And the physics has wierd problems as well.This happens in v99.91 and v99.92.I hope they can fix this

  Did you make a bug report on the tracker?

  Also:

  As always devs your awesome!

  Its probably got nothing to do with the movement behavior, but more from the size.

  Think about it, you've more than quadrupled the size, so the system has to calculate all those rotations, collisions, etc at an almost exponential rate.

  If you must use that size, I would suggest not using path finding, and set collisions to point or have a smaller collision mask.

  Actually the new vector object might be good for this.

  There are expressions for vertex x, and vertex y for a sprites distortmap, but it only returns absolute coords.... I'm wondering if that's a bug, or if it might need a switch to choose relative.

  Any way if that was different would that work just the same as a point?

  ^yeah what quasi said, plus you have to remember everything is saved internally as png, and then uncompressed at runtime.

  So unless its possible to make an object that allows you to render differently (probably not in C1), then splitting things up is the only option.

  Depending on your trigger you could just use lerp the top objects angle to the bottom objects angle.

  You would have to make sure than the angles never get too far apart tho... wouldn't want it doing a scene from the exorcist.

  ->on trigger

  top set angle to lerp(.angle, bottom.angle, something* timedelta)

  There also is pyVST, but I don't know if this can be used to any advantage for these particular problems.

  Did you get pyvst to work?

  I see. Yeah you can't reference that object since the duplicate instance is already in the sol.

  You will need to use a dummy instead.

  Pretty sure you cant place an object in the sol, and then remove it in the same event.

  Might try the custom movement behavior with speed set to bottom, and bounce, or push out, off "solid".

  Question is why do you need to create the object?

  The created object Sprite.Value('c1'), not Sprite.Value('create1') (pv does not exist), should be placed into the SOL automatically after its created.

  Might want to give an example. I don't really see how a height map could be used as a mask.

  Well you can do that now.... via Python.

  Course a plug would be nice.

  Come to think of it somebody could make something like that for Construct in a plugin form.

  Imagine instead of wavs you simply generate the sound on the fly.

  This should show what lerp does.
