A scale outer integer mode has been asked for before. It would be a great addition so essentialy it would scale to the next integer size outside the window instead of inside as we have it now. Nothing has come of this request though.

Unsurprisingly they've already said no to this.

A sprite based, full customisable, menu with buttons and sliders would be really great, especially if its window worked like a mask so objects can be positioned in them without overlap onto it's layer.

I have a feeling though there wont be any new plugins, just a new sdk and the community will be expected to make their own.

Since the editor is online i'm guessing that when you make a thrid party plugin then you'll upload it to their server and everyone will get access to it.

I imagine it will be split into 4 categories. C2 plugins which will work in C3 but use the old sdk, free C3 plugins, paid unlockable C3 plugins from the store and private C3 plugins with restricted access to you.

You can either check as the person is typing or afterwards using the find system text expression.

find(src, text)

It will return a -1 is the letter is not there.

Say i have 100 characters and i'm doing an finite state machine for controling their behaviours, which would be more efficient?

Monitoring all chars in one big loop and checking all states in one go like this

foreach char

state = A, do action

state = B, do action

state = C, do action

or

picking the chars by states and doing small loops to control each one like this

state = A

foreach char, do action

state = B

foreach char, do action

state = C

foreach char, do action

Thanks.

Make sure it's in the right folder, it's a behaviour not a plugin.

Shouldn't the "is activated" go before the foreach loop for efficiency? I thought as is it is now it will loop over every object, whereas is you put the "is activated" first it will pick those first then loop over the picked. May not sound like much but if you have 500 people and only 2 are active, you're searching 2 rather than 500.

Maybe Trump bought Scirra?

You need to make a variable and say, start of layout set variable to 0, if object clicked set variable to 1, if variable is 1 set object to mouse.

Sorry to disappoint, but i've got side tracked with another project. I usually revisit old projects eventually and i left this in a good state, but i lost motivation at the moment and wanted to try something else. I know i suck .

Let's be honest, it's a direct copy of what Clickteam did (having used and developed plugins for their software), but they saw it's short cummings and fixed them expanding on the original concept. Ironically it's now Clickteam who have seen what Scirra have done and are now incorporating the improvements back into their own products.
