  • That would be great!

    Should i come back in another year?

  • Know you've been busy, just thought i'd check back to find out if anything like this has been implemented yet?

  • My units move with rts behaviour for pathfinding purposes, and i'm trying to find a way to show the path a selected unit would take before the player decides to move it.

    My initial thought was to have an invisible object with rts behaviour and constantly move it starting at the selected units position to the mouse position, and loop it over again and again once it reaches its destination (incase player moves mouse pisition and the route changes). Along the way this invisible object would create other visible objects which would mark the path.

    i have 2 problems, the first is moving the invisible object fast enough, and how to spawn the markers at consistant points along the way.

    Any help, or other ideas this could be accomplished?

    Thanks.

  • Whilst i would have coded some of the stuff covered a bit differently, i still think these are great tutorials. Good job!

  • works a bit better thanks.

    I was over complicating things lol

  • i'm trying to give my units various aim stats at the start of the game, which directly influence their firing accuracy.

    I'm trying to generate a random value, but i want the lowest number to be 30 and the highest possible number 90, because in my game 100 and they'd never miss, 0 and they'd never hit anything.

    So i tried somthing like,

    min(90,max(30,random(100)))

    it seems to come up with the min and max values a lot though.

  • you're right, thanks linkman.

    sorry about the false bug report.

  • is rotate layer, or rotate screen working? It's the first time i'm trying to do it, but can't seem to get either to work. I have 3d layer checked.

    start of layout > set set layer 1 angle to 45

  • Also the layer or screen wont zoom out bellow 100, you can zoom in like 200, but it wont zoom out.

    Maybe to do with the new 3d layering?

  • When i scroll about in the layout editor the canvas flashes revealing my events for a moment.

  • Just realised it goes by sprite not layer, sorry.

  • Could you please add an edit box for setting the z layer position of the layer in the layers properties window when 3d layering is enabled, where we currently set scroll rates etc. At the mo we have to set it through events.

    Thanks.
