  • This is beautiful.

  • I would also consider using an animation as your shaking, where you simply change the origin point on each frame.

  • Depending on the effect you are going for...

    You can change it to a rope style distance pin when you need it to shake, and revert it back to a static pin otherwise.

  • It would be a small change to position in the center of a grid instead of top left corner.

    Instead of gridposition, just use gridposition+gridsize/2

  • In the multiplayer tutorial on the last page it looks peers also manually set their associated player object's lookat instance variables locally based on mouse position.

    Why syncing the instance variable does not update them I do not know why. Maybe something to do with local input prediction activated on the associated player object?

    Try testing with 2 peers and a host, and see if the the other peer's instance variables get synced properly? (As seen by the first peer)

  • If the same assets are used by two consecutive layouts, they don't get unloaded and reloaded.

    If you don't want to use layouts to manage memory, don't use different layouts.

    For organizational purposes on a single layout, you can use event sheet includes and restart layout action with a variable to determine which sub game to load.

    On the other hand, if you don't understand how it works, you probably don't need to worry about it. It doesn't make sense to have assets that are not in use kept in memory. Also if you don't understand how it works, you definitely don't want to manage memory use yourself.

  • Are the choices always going to be yes and no?

  • You can write the binary data as a string by using the binarydata.getbase64 expression. You can put this string into an array if you wish. The array can the be saved and loaded as json as normal, and then you can load it into the binary data plugin again with the set from base64 expression.

    As the manual notes, this is significantly less efficient than using the ajax object to post binary data directly to a server directly.

  • Try setting a string variable to ajax.lastdata and see what it says in debug

  • Are you able to display (or view in debug) ajax.lastdata by itself if you write it to a variable or text object directly?

    Are your text object dimensions large enough to fit all the content you are attempting to display?

  • -> bulletobject: Set Bullet angle of motion to angle(bulletobject.X,bulletobject.Y,Sprite.X,Sprite.Y) degrees

  • This will be hard to diagnose without seeing your event sheet... Is your event to set the player to rotate towards the specified position in a common group of events for both peer and host? Can you confirm if the specified position instance variables are synced/set properly on the peer side?

  • It is a possibility to have multiple instances of a single array object, which you will then be able to pick by comparing instance variables, nth instance, or uid. This may not suitable for all applications though.

  • Things to check include making sure the cone object isn't synced and that you're picking conditions for the cone are working as intended.

  • Here's an example, there were a few things I missed like picking all enemies again after colliding with one of them (normally only the one that triggered the collision is picked. We want to pick all so that we can randomly pick a new target after that.

    I used the enemy's UID to store as a target for a bullet.
