sorry ash, that works wonderfully, I was responding to the previous poster..

I think we may have posted our responses around the same moment

Thankyou all

thanks, that seems to only affect one at a time though, if a larger object that covers more than one object overlaps them, only one is affected..

my apologies if I came across as too specific..

I have a large grid of duplicate objects.

I'd like to have each one have seperate collision.

right now if I create a large grid of the same object, and then apply

if mouse is over object then change opacity to 50

if mouse is not over object then change opacity to 100

each object is changed as I mouse over each one, but I have to move the mouse away from the entire group for them to change back to 100 opacity, i'd like each object to change individually..

can anyone point me in the most sensible direction to achieve this?

thanks as always..

aha, thanks!

if key "" is down set display angle to display angle +1 doesnt seem to do anything...

was curious if I could create a "board" with a grid, and have say some tiles in the grid that rotate to match the grid cell angle and position - what functions should I be looking at to achieve this??

i'm just playing with physics, and made a box out of 4 walls, the hotspots of the walls are set to the same place so that when I rotate them all counterclockwise or clockwise, the box rotates..

I set a gravity'd ball and a sprite box within the box just to play with the behaviour, but the collision seems to break when I rotate, and also the objects stop as if theyve met a collision, but they are nowhere near - any hints n tips??

thanks all

.. or an RTS object if you want complex paths

thankyou!!!

i have to take a break from my fun project and do some real work, and am using construct to build some basic prototypes to show a programmer some play mechanics.

I want an object to follow the mouse, the object is 30x30, but want the object to constantly snap to a 30x30 grid..

can anyone explain some math, or an efficient way to do this???

Thanks as always

Surely you don't want to fake slowing down the more objects you have? That's one of the reasons to use TimeDelta in the first place... I'm sure the original question was about slow-motion effects or something!

actually yes, it makes the hail of bullets easier to navigate.

you'd have to play one of these games to see what they do..

to me it would make sense that it's just the one object, but does everyone else think so?

anyone?

at least I know what's happening now.
