oh yeah ... forgot to mention that XD told ya my brain was turning into mush LMAO

the object moves a little bit but that's about it so i'm not really sure what i'm doing wrong so some help would be nice

P.S. i think my brain is turning into mush

yeah, i figures as much lol

but if that's the case then i've hit a road block in coding universal events <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" />

ohhhh right, right, the conditions pick the sprite for the intended actions. i guess it took my brain a while to process the complex parts that the simpler parts didn't process at all! XD

anyways, the reason i ask is because i'm playing around with some manually implemented physics so that it affects all sprites, as well as for AI purposes. like a loop for movement but the loop can be triggered either by player input or by a triggered event at runtime but the loop will apply to anything depending on the uid that's picked.

maybe there's a better way to achieve this but this is how my brain is thinking at the moment. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" />

i know construct keeps track of unique ids but how would i go about performing an action on a specific sprite with a specific uid?

i know one possibility is to single it out in the conditions but what if i have the conditions check one sprite with, say, id 1 but the actions will affect sprite with id 2?

make sure you have the Mouse&Keyboard object added to your layout and then this is the condition you can use

Key key is down

apparently, private variables for families can't be called in the expression editor

i have a family called "player"

and i'm trying to run a loop as such

System: Start loop "positiveDisplacement" and run player.Value('speed') times

the result is this error

Error in parameter 2:

'speed' is not a private variable in 'Value' (parameter 1)

is it really? because i know there's is something called, "dynamics" in music

Okay then I guess I'll change my vote.

It should be left.

?

wanna elaborate? <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" />

if that's the case then, it sounds like it would be much less of a hassle orienting ourselves with 0 degrees pointing towards right than to reinvent mathematical formulas <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" />

curious, what is it called when music in a game dynamically changes and matches the current scene or the players actions?

i would actually prefer "up" as well simply because i visually relate "up" with "forward"
