  • Hello,

    I am trying to make my game more smartphone / tablet friendly via adding touch actions to buttons.   

    I have a 3 level game, the button to advance to level 2 is placed on the stage and is set to invisible to start.   

    I added an is touching object to advance to level 2.   

    When I drag characters around the stage, when it goes over the the location of the button it advances to level 2.   I only want the button active when it is displayed.

    Any advice greatly appreciated.    

    Thanks

    I have created

    a text box for the user to input there name

    a button,

    a variable

    a display field to display the name

    I have tried various action combinations and read the manual to no avail.

    Thanks

  • Hello,

    I am building a business game with a many to many relationship comparing objects.

    In the proof of concept stage I allow the score to increase if you repeat comparing two objects.

    I am thinking that instance variables might be a way to limit the number of times that the score is increased when two images collide.

    Does this sound like a good way or is there other ways I should consider?

    Additional Details. The game I have has 4 drop zones in the corners of the screen with scrolling objects sliding across the screen. The player drags and drops the object to the drop zone if correct they get points, and should then move the element to the other drop zones if they feel it applies.   Currently in the proof of concept they could increase the score the by repeatedly comparing the 2 elements.

    Any ideas greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

  • I am trying to create an incorrect list, on screen there is a possibility of 3 incorrect collisions. I created variable to track if an incorrect hit occurred i set the value to be Y.

    When a Y condition occurs I want to append a text box with the incorrect collision "HealthCare".

    When I run the game, the and meet the condition the text box has "HealthCare" repeated multiple times instead of just once.

    Any ideas greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

  • Hello,

    When I place a button on the screen and view it on a PC the button looks fine.

    When I view it on a smartphone, the text inside the button is offset.

    I have also seen times when I have to press the button multiple times on a smartphone before it shows the next screen.

    Thanks

  • Thank you very much I see how it can be done now.

    I used set position x, y instead of set position to another object so that I could offset the image on a corner. This way I have multiple correct matches.

    Very much appreciated.

    Thanks again

  • i downloaded 111 :) checking it out.

  • Thank you for the quick response. I'm running v108 and I get an error opening it that says it was built with 111 and cannot be opened.

  • Hello

    I am building a memory game with 4 drop zones in the corners.

    I am looking for a way to pin correct answers to the 4 corners the boxes.

    I tried pin with rope and it aligns all of them to the right.

    -----

    Picture car manufactures in the four corners (porsche, lambo, bmw, fiat)

    and model names like (911 carrera, contach, 750e..) scrolling across the screen and the user drags and drops the model to the manufacturer. If it is correct I currently show a smiley face, or an explosion if it is match or not.    I would like to see how it would look if i pin the matches to the 4 corner and change the opacity.

    any advice greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

  • Hello I am using the free version building a prototype to justify the purchase.

    I brought my laptop to work (at home uses dual display)when I open my project with just my laptop and right click add new object, the dialog box does not appear. It does not show anywhere. I press the escape key I can right click again but i cannot get the dialog box to appear. I tried connecting to an external monitor and that did not help.

    I tried it on a blank project and same error.   Running Windows 7 64 bit.

    I will try it again at home later. Hopefully it works there :)

    Any ideas?

    Thanks
