  How about like this:

  In your capx you had different objects for different links. It's simpler to just make them different frames of one sprite. "pick topmost" can be used to pick the last link since objects are created at the top.

  To draw a circle with C2's image editor:

  1. Select the Brush tool.

  2. Set "Size" to the circle diameter.

  3. Set "Hardness" to 255

  1. You could add it to a container with an object you can destroy.

  2. You could add the attribute "destroy on startup" to the object and just create it at runtime.

  3. You could copy/paste XAudio2 from the level to the menu layout, Then delete XAudio2 from the level. The events should remain intact, because you still have one instance.

  The purpose of the setup in the image?

  It equates to these 3 actions to move the car:

  Set x to car.x + 4*cos(car.angle)

  Set y to car.x + 4*sin(car.angle)

  Set Angle to car.Angle+1

  Or do you mean the purpose of the capx itself?

  It's mainly for my own amusement.

  I took this the example I did here:

  http://www.scirra.com/forum/how-would-i-go-about-drawing-arrows-between-boxes_topic60508_post371509.html?KW=#371509

  ...and extended it so I can add/destroy nodes and change the values of nodes.

  Here is a screenshot of a setup that make the car move forward and rotate.

  <img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5426011/examples16/node_screen1.PNG" border="0">

  Here's the capx, the art is programmer art so it's very ugly:

  Left click to drag nodes and lines.

  Right click to open context menu.

  Here is a setup to do the connections and such:

  Instead of straight lines you could also try a curve:

  The texture setter sets the texture until something else changes it back to it's original texture.

  I can't open the file you posted, but you could add an event like this to set the texture every frame:

  + System: For each tex

  + tile: Value 'tex' Equal to tex ('id')

  -> TextureSetter: Give tile the texture from tex

  Here is a capx:

  Unfortunately I don't have time to do a astar example at the moment.

  You can still use my list variable suggestion as you have it now. Just add a "list" variable and populate it from the other variables.

  +Start of Layout

  Quad| set list to self.Quad0 & "," & self.Quad1 &...

  The A* algorithm could also be used and it would have the same result. It would take longer to compute at runtime but the only setup needed would be to list what quads are connected, which is faster to do than manually setting directions from every quad to the other imo.

  So the Quad objects need an instance variable for every Quad? It works but I could see how it would be a bit time consuming to set up.

  You could just use one text instance variable and store a comma seperated list of the values.

  So for instance the top left Quad would have a "list" value of "2,2,2,2,2,0,1,1,1,1". Then events 12 to 21 could be replaced by one action added to event 11:

  player2| set direction to int(tokenat(Quad.list, player1.ClosestQuadName, ","))

  boolean

  Here is a post by Ashley about why he doesn't think having a publicly viewable todo list is a good idea:

  http://www.scirra.com/forum/website-feature-request-please-bump-if-you-agree_topic56271_post351157.html#351157

  Regardless I think it would be cool to see a todo list or roadmap of some sort.

  An unofficial todo list could also be made by searching all Ashely's posts for "todo list" and making a list, but it could be a time consuming task.

  If you make the collision masks beveled like an octagon then conduction will not occur diagonally.

  nd for more than 4 points collision polygon ?

  Is it planned for future ?

  You can already do this. Right click on one of the points and click "add point".
