    Thank you guys,I got alot out of what both of you said,I wont take anything from GeometriX aswell,He also gave me great information about the subject.Thanks again guys you have helped me alot.

  • Whatsup everyone,

    Im here again with a few questions regarding layers/layouts.

    I had some help from GeometriX yesterday and i really thought i had most of this down but i am afraid i am still in need of some info.

    I know that i can set Objects to Global to keep them from being destroyed while switching layouts,Is it possible to keep things in the current STATE while switching layouts aswell? What i mean is i have A Day and Night system that i would like to carry over to the next layout,For example i have a Forest biome,if its night time in my forest biome and i want to go to my jungle biome how could i make it where it stays night time while switching layouts?

    -Second Question-

    Whats the best way to transfer my player from layout to layout?

    I have tried doing the global thing on him from properties and it doesnt work,Im not sure if that works with the player object just the same as everything else since i do have a player mask that he is bound to.

    -Third Question-

    If i would rather buld every layout from scratch instead of making it an instance would it cause lag becuase i hand built the terrain?My room right now is 3200x3200 and i was aiming for something bigger since i am creating a sandbox game,I dont know much about arrays because i havnt found the right tutorial/Learning Process for me.Thanks everyone

  • Try some stuff with the bullet function along with wrap,You can find some tutorials around and other anwsers on the forums from recent posts

  • GeometriX awesome stuff man,You explained that spot on.To tell you the truth i would of been ages trying to figure that out.Thats something a new guy wouldnt know unless he pulled out the shovel and dug.Thanks again Geo have a good day man and i promise that was the last question.

  • Im still looking for any artists that want to collab and make a free to play Top Down Shooter game.

  • GeometriX the issue was i am creating it,I am really lost when it comes to this.Im just asking you if you can show me another way or the right way to do this.I apollogize if i was unclear.I just need your advice.The only way i know how to add the object to a layer thats on a different layout is the way i shown in my previous post.

  • Sorry to bother you again GeometriX,

    Im having issues placing Global Objects on the layers in the next layout i have made.<img src="https://www.scirra.com/images/articles/screen3.jpg" border="0" />

    here is the event i was using,I am wondering if there is another way to pick the layer for the object i want to place there.Or is this the only way?

  • GeometriX I think you are right,I will send it in a PM ok.Thanks for looking at this.

  • GeometriX That sucks it dosnt respect layers at all,This will be my first time appointing objects to layers through events Thanks for that.Also before i go i have one last question about this,What do i do about my player it seems that its loading him but its not Respecting the behaviour i placed.Its not scrolling.Do you have any tips on this.Thanks GeometriX

    PS.nft@Ashley i think you should make the Global function respect Layers if its Possible.It would be a killer time saver and i mean a killer.

  • GeometriX Awesome stuff man,

    What about the layers? How does it place it? Is there a way for me to tell what layer its on,Or is it set to the same layer as the main Layout? Im not able to add this up.

  • GeometriX

    Thanks for the reply man,By doing this it will stay in the same position as i have it in my main Layout?I do understand you im just making sure im taking it in the right way.This is the first time i heard about this.

  • Hi everyone,

    Im wondering if the GUI can follow my player from Layout to Layout or do i have to create the GUI for each layout? Im not sure how that works,I was pondering and started to ask myself if this was possible.I would like to transfer some things from room to room if i can.

                       -Second Question-

    One of the things that i really want to do is keep the settings for my sun and moon intrevals upon entering a new layout aswell,I think this goes along with what i need to know so i will ask this as a second question to those who end up seeing this post.Thanks guys
