  • Hm. Could you not just give the objects a tier variable as well as the UID of it's father?

    Tier 0 (Grandfather) spawns 1 (Father) which spawns 2 (Son) and so on, sharing a UID or another identifying variable for reference.

    You'd find the grandfather by comparing an object's own UID to another and subtracting 2 tiers, father by subtracting 1, child by adding 1, and so on.

    Grandfather

    Tier = 0

    UID = 111

    Father

    Tier = 1

    UID = 111

    Son

    Tier = 2

    UID = 111

    Or..y'know, something like that. You could maybe build a string or array storing the UID's of all of an object's parents too.

  • Found out how to reproduce it. I'll file a bug report. Just posted here to see if there was a reason for it and if other people noticed.

  • Ashley I noticed a while ago that the property and object bars occasionally reset when changing an object property, exiting the image editor, etc. It's really annoying, especially when working with objects deep in sub-folders.

    Is this a bug or side effect of recent changes to the editor? Anyone else having this issue?

  • Strange. I'm on a laptop now but I have used Razer, SteelSeries, and WASD mechanical keyboards with C2 in the past with no issues. What model? Does it come with software?

  • Out of curiosity...why would anyone need to print out an event sheet?

  • This is actually great, but also kind of intresting : so a bunch of people managed to create exporters (and even speed up the events by transforming them in C++) for the current gen of consoles in their free time while the developers of the Clickteam Fushion were not able.

    One guy, actually.

  • Ashley Can you please make object time scales relative to the game's time scale, or add an action/property to make them relative instead of absolute? Object timescales are kind of useless as-is, unless setting them to 1 or 0. Doing things like making big objects slower / small objects faster, increasing enemy timescales if they are "frenzied", etc. is impossible unless they're relative, since I adjust the game's timescale for slo-mo and other things as well.

    I can probably make object timescales relative by putting them in a family and setting them every tick, but that doesn't sound like a good idea...

  • Yep. keep backups. I have 10 backups + DB backup + SVN server backup + teammate's backups. No it's not overkill

  • r4 is up. Items now have manual IDs to prevent them from reappearing after being collected. There was a recurring bug with the old method, and some users found it too confusing anyway with the way IIDs work with the room system.

  • Glad you guys are finding it useful! If you have a review then please put it on the store page!

  • emixam23 Ah. Just found a long standing oversight there. Objects aren't destroyed in old rooms until the room transition is complete and new room objects are created. This makes the IIDs of the new room items higher than they should be because the old room items still exist.

    It's not the easiest fix, unless I just destroyed items the instant a room transition begins, but that would be weird. I'll figure something out and update soon.

  • This new .capx is great R0J0hound Love how it finds its way around sharp corners too; that was another feature I was hoping to figure out! Thanks again

  • Yeah..I'd be using global layers for that too. Wouldn't worry about memory unless it's a mobile game. Prefabs would be even better though. Imagine creating this UI in a layout, "linking" all of the objects together, and then simply creating that single prefab when and where you need it.

  • megatronx Ah, bummer. Fortunately I only need it for the overworld (the game itself is a sidescroller) but if I were making a full top-down game I'd be wary of using a workaround...it's a very important feature if projectiles and enemies and such also use it.
