  • This is my attempt at making it decide whether an object should break or not:

    dl.dropbox.com/u/52788071/break_events_01.png

    So it adds the speed of both of the objects together and if it is greater than the breaking speed, it gets the angles that both are moving at as well as the angle between their coordinates. If at least two of those are the same (give or take 45 degrees), the object will break.

  • .com

    .net

    .org

    etc ..

    All cost money, I doubt anyone will find one for free. You could always buy a .com from a host like GoDaddy and use a free web hosting service like 000webhost so that you are only paying for the Public Domain Name and not there hosting service.

    No, don't use 000webhost, or at least read this first:

    000webhost-scam.blogspot.com

    I used 000webhost before. They provided all of the features I was looking for. I stumbled across that page and ignored it. Several months later, 000webhost shut down my account without warning for the stupidest reason that did not apply. (I forgot what it was exactly.) Of course I didn't have a recent backup because it requires manually making the backup every month. And I couldn't get one of the backups that they offer because: 1) they deleted my account and 2) they don't actually take backups.

    I recommend PerfectZ instead.

  • I attempted to run the game and got this error:

    Check failure! This is probably a bug:

    I'm 98% sure this due to the fact that I renamed the bouncer_v object to bouncer.

    Now when I try to load the preview in Chrome, the status box has said "Waiting for localhost..." the entire time I was writing this post.

    Edit: Just after I submitted this post, Google Chrome said:

    This webpage is not available

    The connection to localhost was interrupted.

  • Opps, I forgot. I modified the Extra Expressions plugin. Here is the modified version (please do not use it for your own projects):

    dl.dropbox.com/u/52788071/ExtraExps.zip

    It will require more than just replacing the missing frame (which I already did). It just looks messed up:

    <img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/52788071/speed_ball_01.jpg" border="0" />

    Edit: I just discovered why it looks messed up. The origin is waaay off center. And some of the wall corner objects have a size of 20.48, 20.48 instead of 64, 64.

    Thanks for your help. If this happens again, I'll try to get more information.

  • I don't know exactly what I did. I just added a little more to the level, and then an error popped up on the preview page, I restarted Construct 2, and then another error.

    I have an idea that may help with future bug reporting: Have the editor output actions and errors into a log file.

    Is there a way to "un-corrupt" the project file (like rebuilding cache or something), or will I have to start from scratch?

  • I was trying to one sprite object with multiple images using animation frames. I tested the game a few times and it worked. I added more to the

    level and tested the game again, then it gave me an error. I restarted the editor, and it gave me this error:

    ---------------------------

    Check failure! This is probably a bug:

    Cannot find project file for animation frame

    This can indicate project corruption - you may be able to retry/ignore these messages and replace missing images in the project. However, please report this issue to Scirra with the steps you were doing immediately before this problem occurred.

    After clicking retry, I got this error:

    This may indicate a corrupt PNG file in the project directory. The image will not be able to be displayed in the editor.

    OK   

    ---------------------------

    After clicking OK twice, nothing looked right. The corners show up in the game, but not in the editor.

  • You're welcome.

  • I want to have a physics object break realistically when it collides with another physics object. Very similar to Angry Birds. The problem is that I would have to add one event for each possible case which could easily get to 20 events.

    Also, how can I get it to play an animation instead of just disappearing?

  • In a game I'm working on, I needed to do the same thing. This is the formula I used to determine the speed of a physics object:

    sqrt(Object.Physics.VelocityX ^ 2 + Object.Physics.VelocityY ^ 2)

    Where Object is the name of the object. I put this in a System: compare two values event.
