  • I do not know the answer for certain, but have you tried the browser/invoke download option?

  • Add a For Each Turret condition to have the event run separately for each instance of your turret, this will solve your simultaneous firing issue.

  • Currently it is only saved per session. If you want the data to persist between sessions or be shared among multiple users, you will indeed want to save the json data to either localstorage or a web server like firebase.

    To save by name, you'll need to enter a name when saving (another textbox, or automatically based on something else like their login name). You will create the list item with that name, and save the name in the dictionary as the key. When you retrieve it, you will once again refer to the name.

  • I don't work with plugins.

    Good luck!

  • You've got plugins, so most people can't open your capx file to help. Neither can I, but I can give you some general advice.

    Your goal is to move to the nearest valid position on mouse click. One way to do this is to use a helper sprite (invisible) with the custom movement behavior set to push out solids, nearest, and the solid behavior on your tilemap and areas outside your tilemap.

    When you place the helper sprite on click, it should move to the nearest valid location and then you can set your pathfinding based on the new location of the helper sprite.

    I'm actually not sure if the solids behavior works properly with tilemaps. If it doesn't, you'll have to overlay each solid tilemap tile with additional invisible solid helper sprites.

  • Dictionary.CurrentKey only works in a "For each Key" loop. If you aren't in a loop, there is no "current" key.

    So you're still missing how you want to organize and store your entries. Are you going to refer to each entry by time? date? name?

    You shouldn't update a key every time the text is changed, only when you press the save button. When you save, you want it added to a new key.

    Here is an updated capx. Each entry is incremented by 1, based on the number of items in the list, using the list.itemcount expression. You'll want to update the List - add item action to change whatever you want to name your entry.

    Also generally you want to avoid the tap gesture, it is not very responsive for UI purposes, it is better to use on touched object or on touch released with an is touching object condition.

  • Timescale only affects dt (and behaviors), which you should be using anyway. If you move a fixed distance in pixels per frame, timescale will not affect your projectiles.

  • Something like this? https://www.dropbox.com/s/8xnl5tx7tq020 ... d.c3p?dl=0

    There are compromises, but you can pretty much do anything. Just depends on how much work you want to put in to deal with custom movement behaviors.

  • How you want to organize and load your keys is up for you to decide. The first step is to determine exactly what you want to do, then you will be able to ask specific questions about how to do specific things. If you are not specific, people are much less likely to help you. It is not easy to give advice to do "something".

    To display a key, use the Dictionary.Get("key") expression. For example,

    On Trigger -> Text Set text to Dictionary.Get("input_Name").

    This will set the text object to whatever was saved in the dictionary under the input_Name key.

    To add all keys to a listbox,

    On Trigger

    Dictionary For Each Key -> List Add item Dictionary.CurrentKey

    To use the list to select a key,

    List On Selection Changed -> Text Set text to Dictionary.Get(List.SelectedText)

  • I was saying that you literally did it right, but your event sheet was not linked to your layout so your event was not taking effect.

    As you type into the textbox, is is written into the dictionary object.

  • tx for thanks!

    I like the idea of xi and xf

  • AFAIK the only way to do it without families is to use two separate body segment objects (they can look the same), and alternate each segment.

  • Per dop's post:

    + System: On start of layout
-> TiledBackground: Destroy

| Global number x0? = 0
| Global number y0? = 0

+ Mouse: On Left button Clicked
-> System: Set x0 to Mouse.X
-> System: Set y0 to Mouse.Y

+ Mouse: Left button is down
+ System: x0 ? Mouse.X
+ System: y0 ? Mouse.Y
-> System: Create object TiledBackground on layer 0 at (x0, y0)
-> TiledBackground: Set width to distance(x0,y0,Mouse.X,Mouse.Y)
-> TiledBackground: Set angle toward (Mouse.X, Mouse.Y)
-> System: Set x0 to Mouse.X
-> System: Set y0 to Mouse.Y[/code:2c2a9beo]

It works best with thin lines. For thicker lines, add a rounded "end cap" sprite to each ssegment.

  • Delta stands for change, and is commonly represented by dx, dy, ect.

    0 is used for origin, or first, while incremental numbers are used for a series or index.

    Is there any standard practice abbreviation or symbol for "last", "previous", or "next"?

  • Is your text object large enough to fit all the text?
