  • Hi dop2000

    Thanks. I will implement your first suggestion, because the paths are really overlapping the bases. So I don't need to use "Pick all" first?

    EDITED: I included the conditions and fixed the order, and it is indeed moving to the nearest base, however, they do not return to the previous base when I click the same button.

    Or you can give unique IDs to each base and specify on the button which bases it's connected to.

    Maybe this is the solution, but how do you specify which bases are connected to the buttons in the code?

  • I have a problem creating mechanics for a game.

    In the attached file, you need to click on the buttons to move the colored objects, according to their proximity, always giving preference to the blue one. Whenever you click a button, the system has to identify which of the two objects is closest to it and send it to the base closest to that button. It started working well but then it stopped moving the objects and sometimes sent the object to a completely different path.

    I did it another way, but the code was too long and I'm trying to cut it down.

    Could anyone help me solve this mechanic?

    Thanks in advance

    EDITED: Objective of the game: move the objects, removing the red ones in front of the blue one (there will be many scattered across the screen) until the blue one reaches the end. There is a movement limi, but I just want to solve the mechanics.

  • You are right. As I no longer had the object on the screen, I included it again and deselected this option in the panel. Thanks.

  • I am destroying instances of an object and creating new ones, so I have no way to disable "set angle" directly in the panel. As I didn't find an option to disable "set angle" in the code, I tried to set the angle of the created object to "0", but it didn't work, whenever the object returns, it is upside down.

    Thanks for advance

  • Thanks for answering.

    Sorry for only including this part of the code, but it is long and only this part presents an error. I'm including a printscreen to make it easier to read.

    Regarding the error: this part of the code should display a total (totalCharacters) of digits (letters or numbers) one by one with a pause of 1.5 seconds between them and as it shows each digit, it then shows an asterisk in its place.

    Example with 3 digits:

    Step 1: 7

    Step 2: *

    Step 3: * 4

    Step 4: * *

    Step 5: * * 1

    Step 6: * * *

    The error that occurs is that the first digit (7 in the example) is repeated 2 times, generating 4 digits in the result, instead of 3

    Example of a 3-digit error:

    Step 1: 7

    Step 3: *

    Step 4: 7

    Step 5: *

    Step 6: * 4

    Step 7: * *

    Step 8: * * 1

    Step 9: * * *

    I replaced the timer for every second event to see if the error could be in the behavior, but it didn't solve it. The strangest thing is that this problem only appears in mobile device browsers. In the 3 desktop browsers (edge/chrome/firefox) this system works perfectly

  • Is there anyone who could help me solve this problem? I've been stuck on this for over 3 days now. I just need some ideas.

  • Maybe the problem could be the "Timer"? Has anyone experienced this type of problem before?

  • The code below is working normally in desktop browsers and presenting a duplication error in the first digit when opened in mobile device browsers. It also happens on edge in the latest version when opened on a laptop (the same version works normally on a PC).

    Could anyone take a look and see if they can find any possible problems in the code?

  • Thank you for your help

  • if I want to rotate the "box" object to any angle, what would I need to do to rotate the other objects inside the container so that they are at the same angle as the box, in this case, on the axis itself?

  • EDITED:

    Thank you! It's working now.

  • Actually I have symbolsP1, symbolsP2, ... symbolsP4, and each symbol may be displaying a different frame, according to what I want each one to show.

    I will also have several boxes (which is the container spawned) on the screen, that is, each one with a different ID and I need to control each of the frames of the labels that are inside these containers, which will show different frames.

    e.g.

    box.id=1 : label1 = frame 1 / label 2 = frame 3...

    box.id=2: label1 = frame 4 / label 2 = frame 1...

  • I created a container of a box and included 3 sprites with 3 frames each, which would be the labels that would appear on the box. I intend to create 3 boxes and each one will show different labels as I determine in the code. Each box will have an ID variable that will be assigned at the time of creation. I need to know how to control the frames of each box individually using this ID.

    I tried this code, but it didn't work:

    + System: Pick BoxP where BoxP.id = 1

    + SymbolsP1: Is overlapping BoxP

    -> SymbolsP1: Set animation frame to 2

  • Hi

    I need to create a system which shows a code made up of letters and after a few seconds they become asterisks and the user has to type the same code that changes from asterisk to key pressed. There is also the possibility for the user to go backwards, erasing each letter typed.

    I'd need to know how can I do to replace the letters by asterisks (one by one with one second apart) once shown, and how to replace the asterisks by letters as the user types and letters by asterisks as the user backtracks what was typed.

    Thanks in advance.
