  • Well the Scratch thing he talked about is an open source project. Then again that one little sliver really doesn't tell you much, other than its kinda nodal, and drag and drop.

    It just seems everything they produce never really provides proof of existence.

  • You don't need a for each if that instance is referenced in the same condition.

    That instance is already in the S.O.L. It is picked by the condition, and since its pv can be changed to something different than all the other instance's pvs, it can be treated as a single object.

  • A screen shot of a gui would have gone much farther than a few demo's.

    This is like the egg laying the chicken.

  • If "child" is just a different instance of the same object, then no it wont detect it.

    Try placing "child" into a family, or giving each new instance its own pv, and check with two conditions, child is overlapping, and child's pv is equal to new pv.

  • Yeah you can do what ever sorting method you prefer, but none of the array types will sort for you except listbox, and it sorts alphanumerically low to high.

  • Mouse is over object

    Mouse button is down

    -object set x to mouse x

    or

    -object set y to mouse y

  • You might want to go with ini.

    The way its set up should work well with what your doing.

    Here you could simply add a group for each player, and have an item name called long jump.

  • Guys, lets just leave things be. Ashley is the only one really can say or do anything about this... its his call. As far as example's, demo's, graphic's go... it the net, dont stick it out there if you don't want somebody to use it.

  • Lets stick to the facts please.

    — wolf Don't accuse somebody of something if you cant prove it.

    cashgangnet The question should be did you compile it your self, and if you did were all licensee issues for external libs, etc addressed?

  • The inventor of Copy and paste is rolling in his grave.

  • Come to think of it, no one should be able to sell it in any fashion, given that all the known builds use the Prof-UIS lib. Might check with Ashley, but as I recall even the freeware version is for non commercial use only, and I dont think they were using that one.

    Also even if they did have a legit license from Prof-UIS, and made their own build, they could be in trouble if they used Visual Express. As I recall that's for non commercial use only as well.

  • Actually this is pretty close to legal. The way the GNU license is set up, you may charge a price for the postage, cd, etc. All the seller must do is make sure the source is included. I've seen this done hundreds of times with Gimp. So basically if your stupid enough to buy open source software its your own fault. All we can do is make sure everyone knows its free.

  • Yeah that works, but its tricky when you use friction. Might be nice if the Custom Movement behavior had a gravity setting that would disregard it.

  • That instance should be in the S.O.L. within that event. Other wise you can change a private variable of that instance within that event and use the pv to select it in another event.

  • Way to hijack a thread lestar... oh wait.

    Anyway he's right. If its worth ripping/ hacking, then it will be. Also along with that line of thinking, you could assume that being hacked is a positive sign. Besides there's never been a case where someone stole graphics, and didn't get successfully sued.
