  • You can rename event sheets in the dialog where you add and remove them from the list. Single click a selected item to rename it, like renaming a file in windows explorer.

    Can you send me your .cap that runs out of memory? I need to be able to reproduce it.

  • Yikes! Beats me right now, the code for that part is a direct wrapper to the physics engine. It might be a rounding error. The worrying thing is the same thing happened when I swapped Set Velocity for Set Force <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" />

  • I think I've fixed this now, when the next build comes out let me know if it works!

  • I think it only supports BMP files for loading. Are you trying to load a PNG or JPG? If so, that wouldn't work. Maybe I can add support for other formats in a later version.

  • Oops, a bug! Something is wrong with For Each Element. I'll try have it fixed for the next build, which should be out today or tomorrow.

  • Well your event is equivalent to:

    + Always

    + Array: For Each Element

    + (System/Compare values) Array.CurrentValue equal to 1

    : Create Object blahblah...

    i.e., 'For Each' on its own runs every frame, not just once.

    To resolve this add another condition above the 'For Each' condition. In my original example, I added a 'On spacebar pressed' condition above the For Each, to avoid this problem: the array is only checked when you press spacebar.

  • Suppose you want to perform an action on every element which equals 77.

    Use the conditions:

    + Array: For Each Element

    + (System/Compare values) Array.CurrentValue equal to 77

    : Any actions you want

    For example, to limit all elements in the array to a maximum of 100 when the user presses spacebar:

    + On spacebar pressed

    + For Each Element

    + Array.CurrentValue greater than 100

    : Array: set value at X,Y,Z:

    Array.CurrentX

    Array.CurrentY

    Array.CurrentZ

    to 100.

    'For Each Element' repeats the event for every element in the array. Under the 'For each' expressions you'll find Array.CurrentValue (the value of the current element being tested), Array.CurrentX, Array.CurrentY and Array.CurrentZ (the indices of the current element).

    Does this help?

  • Oh yeah, heh, I gave it a simpler name. No rotation enables the up vector.

  • Hehe, nice <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /> if you use an up vector on the tank (enable it in physics properties), you wont be able to tip the tank over.

  • Is there a hung temp.exe process? Alternatively try finding Temp.exe in the Scirra folder in Application Data, and deleting it.

  • CommonDialog.SelectedFile(1) works for me here, try putting it in a text object. Is this a bug in the image object then?

  • In the animator bar, angle 0 means facing right, and angle 180 means facing left. So if you add two animation angles, then under each, draw a frame with the character facing in the appropriate direction. When you move the character it'll automatically pick the nearest animation frame for that direction.
