  • I am trying to use the pathfinding behavior and for some reason my paths seem to not be as straight as they could be.

    The trees are solid.

    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Thanks Aphrodite! That was the trick! I did not realize it already took into account the origin.

  • I want to detect if my Hero is standing next to a Healer.

    I thought I could do this by checking "overlapping at offset", granted, I would need to do it at every angle. I'm just testing one angle right now, and can't seem to get that to work.

    The collision box of the Hero is offset by 1, while the Healers covers the entire sprite.

    What am I missing here to make this work? Is there a better way?

  • That was it! Thank you blackhornet!

  • Seems like the pick works, except if there are no sprites of the family type created ... the highlighted line never seems to fire ... see the attachment.

  • Does the picked count work with families?

  • Let's say I have (10) Monster sprites with an instance variable called BreedingPitUID. (5) of the Monster sprites have a BreedingPitUID of 121 and the other (5) have a BreedingPitUID of 139. How do I get the count of all the Monster sprites with a BreedingPitUID of 121? I've tried objectcount and Sprite.PickedCount ... neither is giving me what I need.

  • Did you ever figure this out?

  • I would like to create a layout similar to

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/vfb0lpnz0d7174x/RightSideHud.jpg

    Where the HUD, or information area, is fixed to the right, BUT does not overlay the map. I think the simplest way to do this is to just pad the right side of my layout, but is there a way to confine a layer to a specific size and location? Or have a layout on top of a layout?

    Thanks! Happy New Year!

  • That worked! I just created an invisible sprite called Positioner, and moved it to the spot that I wanted to creating something at, and tested for overlap, if there was none, I spawned the new object.

  • I am creating a wandering monster feature in my game and would like to check for a random monster every X seconds, and based on a random value, if fails, then create a monster at a random location.

    The player follows the path of a ground tile ... so I want to create a monster at random ground tile location, which I am able to do. What I want to do is prevent the creation of monster if a monster sprite already exists there.

    What would be the best way to do this?

  • Gotcha! Didn't know about the collision polygon. That would work.

  • Curious as to what is the better practice for storing variables like Experience and Level. My game has a single Hero, and right now I am storing Experience and Level on the Hero, but wondering if I should instead store it as a global variable? Just wondering what the recommendations would be and why?
