  Big dog Beta

  only watch this if you already have seen Big Dog before.

  I only hope they are not using what I think they are using to make that noise.

  Cause if they are, that would be wrong on soooo many levels.

  Well that's good news. I would think they should probably come up with some sort of virus scan to circumvent this kind of situation.

  It had to happen sooner or later, some idiot is using the app to host a virus, now we all pay the price.

  The forum says they are resolving, but will probably disallow the uploading of exe's.

  Wouldn't it be better to use several sounds, then use a timeline to play them?

  You might be better off asking what can't be used to pick, as there are tons of ways. You can use just about anything the object can do to pick it, you can use the system to pick it, you can use other objects to pick it, the list goes on and on. As to your other question, you can add multiple conditions to the event, or pair them up using pv's, families, containers, object pairer, again just about anything they can have in common.

  On sub events Im not quite sure what you mean, any thing that is picked is automatically used in actions, unless nothing is picked, and then the parent is used.

  Well I think it all depends on what kind of games you play.

  edit::oh wait!!!

  I know one I always wanted for construct, and that was to be able to create an array of objects that you can pick by array index, I know most people think this is the same as UIDs, but it's not, really. that method is very annoying to implement, and requires you to work around all the features that normally make construct so great!.

  Actually you might need something like this for your bitmapfont object.

  Sorry but if every object had the same z there would be no depth. Objects must be at different z heights in order to see a difference, hence the reason why zero is on the ground, and 100 is kicking in your teeth. Besides you can use families to change multiple object's z at one time.

  One thing I think is cool about bitmapped fonts is you have the ability to create all kinds of text effects, like scrolling text, etc. One thing that might be interesting is if it was set up to make these effects easier, perhaps programmable, and shareable.... ehh that might just have to be a separate plug.

  Why not just put things into groups?
