  For example, if I want to spawn an object in the area in the middle of two sprites:

  What exactly is the use for the "CanvasToLayer" and "LayerToCanvas" expressions?

  "Total: " & Function.Call("FormatNumber",Total)

  That's it!

  Thank you very much

  As you can see in the capx, every 4sec +/- the function to add the dots on the number fails.

  What is causing this?

  I think this is the way to center things. (to me best knowledge)

  Had to change keys to something easy for me.

  Thank you very much.

  When i change the canvas size seems like the middle of the screen gets weird..

  As you can see in the capx, when you create the tiledbackground it's right in the middle of the screen. But, if you create it after you switch the canvas size, it's not.

  That's weird.. how can I fix this?

  Controls:

  Space bar create the big tiledbackground to see if it's centralized. If you press again, it's destroyed.

  1 and 2 switch canvas size.

  That's what I thought.. the plugin is really lacking very much... it's a shame, could be VERY usefull.

  But well... at least we have the shadow effect. Very simple, but we have it hehe

  Yes, shadows add a lot to the project, that's the reason I'm trying to fix this problems.

  The problem is that there is no way to create 'obstacles' to shadows... it just go in front or behind the rest of the level, you know? And that's a huge problem...

  I wonder if there is a way to do what I want... like, a shadow hitting a platform and stopping.

  I'm using the shadow light plugin to add an atmosphere to my game, but there is this problem... the shadows go through objects and overlap each others..

  Is the plugin really limited like this or am I losing something?

  Ha! Thank you, Luna.

  Just one more question.. I think it have something to do with the "value" tween property...

  If I want to, for example, tween the timescale of the project, what I have to do? I tried a few thing without luck :\</p>

  Hm.. that's interesting too, but I was talking about another thing actually.

  For example, i can't enter "sprite.X,sprite.Y" in the target of a create/initialize tween, I'm just allowed to enter numbers hehe

  Hey lunarray ,

  Can you explain me why using variables or expressions in the "Create/Initialize Tween" action doesn't work?

  I have to leave the "target" empty, for example, and create a target action separately.. then i can enter expressions.

  You can do it without the canvas plugin. The ring is made by creating sprites in a circle. An the masking is done by using blend modes. The shrink/grow of the circles is done by changing the size:

  Awesome Rojo!

  I have seen a couple things you made and shared here in the forum.. you're a genius dude hehe

  Thank you
