  • I've suggested this for years, so I'd appreciate any feedback since I'm not sure why it's ignored: the current event sheet Search feature is severely limited and sometimes useless! It could be easily improved if it wasn't searching for an "exact string match" but "contains all words".

    If the search was improved it would make it far more efficient to navigate large event sheets.

    A simple scenario where the current search has failed: I want to find where I set "sprite" to invisible, so I put the words contained in that event into the field, but because the event wasn't an exact match, despite containing all the words in that event, it was unable to find anything:

    It says there are 0 results, when this is untrue, there is an event that perfectly represents what I'm searching for.

  • dazedangels do you get this kind of issue too?

    I've been experimenting with 3D too, but I can't solve this problem where when transparent sprites/boards go past each other there's a weird glitch.

    Even with different layers and changing draw order.

  • The notifications list is much better than it use to be.

    2 suggestions:

    • Clicking on the link, or marking them all as read, should clear the list, so you don't see that entry again until a new update comes through. It causes confusion, my expectation is that once I've viewed the notification that it would go away, so when I see it still on the list it makes me think there is a new post. (Imagine if you could never clear the list of notifications on your phone.)

    • The default drop down size of the list is too small, I can only see 1 full notification at a time, the list could drop much lower on the screen and show multiple entries at a time.

    Thanks!

  • Is it possible to use this to make billboards?

  • Thank you for your plugins!

    Would it be okay to get an example of a billboard with this 3D object? The ones in your piggy example show a 3D model, but the billboards are still 3Dshapes.

  • Fantastic, thank you!

  • Is there an easy way to get the Date from an online source?

    The date object only gives user's time, which is easy to manipulate/cheat.

    I need a reliable/accurate date for my time sensitive leaderboards.

  • Does Advanced Minify change all variable names (global etc.)? The manual doesn't say what it does specifically.

  • If you put the flat sprites/billboards on their own layer on top, with the 3D boxes on a lower layer, does that help?

  • yeah I had to switch to just using the browser, it feels worse and is not as well featured as this desktop version, but it works!

  • Yep, sometimes unzipping then zipping it again doesn't work for me, so I just directly open the .c3p file with 7zip without unpacking it.
