well kinda, but its not really for what i gave as an example. its hard to explain really. actually when i thin about it, what it really would need is a proprietary loop, calculated for each object, sorta of like an alterable value, its not affected by other objects proprietary loop. instead of having all boxes on the same loop and having complex events to make it only affect some objects, you could just say,

-box is not overlapping group ground

=start box's loop [specify name] [specify number] times

-on box's loop [specify name]

=set box y to box y+1

sometimes you need each object to run their own loop or else you get a horribly complicated mix of lets say 500 objects each running on the same loop for themselves and stopping it for themselves when they hit the ground [the way it currently works ]. if you were to lets say control the amount they move down using how many times the loop would run. you would be unable to have multiple instances of an object.

depending on what youre doing you might need this.

i was writing my own physics engine in mmf2, and this very factor limited me from making more than one object using fastloops.

(and yes you can add "box is not overlapping group ground" to -on loop "fall" add 1 to Y but thats beside the point, formulating a proper example would make this too complicated to explain, but it would be a usefull feature)

oops sorry, dint see canvas, but maybe implement the feature to draw ellipses, and polygons. ellipse by inputing x and y center and then setting vert radius and horiz radius, fill colour ect. and also the abililty to plot points for polygons and then have plot polygon using points, and then specify fill and line colour also line thickness, the canvas object seems really basic right now. it should get alot more features also give the ability to draw a rectangle from its center point and set its height and width line colour, and line thickness. simple drawing operations, but ellipse is the most important, especially if your making worms type terrain

In the next build there's something which id like to see but have never seen it in any game creation software,(If construct has it plz notify me im still learing) its similar to the fastloop, but its a little different. it would be called something like "-before updating display" and it would simply do what it says, i know fast loops do something similar, but they have to have specified amounts of times to run and in some cases they can be kinda of annoying when dealing with 2 instances of an object, like if you have 2 boxes and you make the events

-box is not overlapping group ground

=start loop "fall"

-on loop "fall"

=add 1 to Y

the problem here would be even though 1 object is on the ground, the other one in the air would continue triggering the loop, thus getting a strange glitchy result

but if we did it this way

-before updating display

+box is not overlapping group ground

=add 1 to Y

we would get the RIGHT result with more than one instance of the object and we would have a much cleaner event sheet also.

i remember countless times where ive wanted something like this but i just couldn't find it.

this isnt the best example because you wouldnt really need a loop for this but it does show why it would be usefull in situation where you need to use fastloops, but also need multiple instances of an object to be "doing there own thing" without affecting the others because they are all using the same loop, so if one objects in the air, they ALL go down from its loop triggering.

(and yes you can add "box is not overlapping group ground" to -on loop "fall" add 1 to Y but thats beside the point, formulating a proper example would make this too complicated to explain, but it would be a usefull feature)

id also like to see loop back to frame,

it should be in the animation properties bar, where you can see speed, loop (yes/no),loop # of times ect. except add loop back to certain frame, with a number selector, like in mmf. its usefull if you want lets say a jump animation to start with a jump, but then infinitely continue with a cape flowing ect ect

why do her breasts breathe

its pretty good, i just never understood how you could dash in the air

this is a feature which is very important for event based programming its basically added to an event to make it perform its action only once e.g. you make an event which says, shoot object A out of object B when Object B's animation is on frame 2, sounds fine, but theres a problem, object b will shoot as many objects as it can during that frame, so if its anim speed is lets say, 25, object b will shoot 3 shots b4 the frame changes, if you were to make the event {shoot object A out of object B when Object B's animation is on frame 2 and add to that only one action when event loops} then your object b would shoot only 1 bullet when its on frame 2 regardless of how long it stays on that frame, which is the desired action.

plz implement in next build

and if its already there some1 plz tell me where it is

lol alright, sounds sweet

thanks dave! i remember asking for this, and if you ever tried a fullscreen flame in mmf2 the game would run horribly slow. some questions though? will u be able to change the gradient to anything you please (via the picture editor) like in mmf2? if not try to add this as you might want to make fire at 0%-25% and then a solid smoke portion at 25%-100% ect ect, it makes the possibilities endless, much better than a simple select one colour then change to other colour type thing. also will there be the ability to do the above to an alpha channel gradient (again like in mmf2).

also will you be able to give the cool map and gradient animations, which could make for some very cool possibilities.

and how do you control this flame object? is it similar to mmf2 where you drag out the renderable area and then select wich objects to set alight or is there no bounding box?

and are you able to make the coolmap slowly change in strenght via a smooth edge or will it be like in mmf2 where you simply draw solid or transparent to define what is cooled or not?

i can tell this will be very usefull when its complete seeing as it causes very little slowdown compared to its mmf2 variant.

im basically asking for the ability to change the blur intensity on the effects "vertical blur" and "horizontal blur" it seems like something you should be able to define, like if you need something to be only a little bit blurred.

oh yah and for some reason when i try to look at an effect's tab i.e.(horizontal blur) within the event editor construct sometimes (most of the time, like 90% of the time) crashes and i have to restart it.

i was just wondering if there was a way to make collisions between objects only work if the 2 objects were on the same layer?

no not excactly, open the link and youll better understand

well in mmf2 you could do this thing where u could make a game run with borders all around it so you dont see the ugly desktop, makes games seem more professional if you dont want to resize any of your sprites, all it does is display the game window to fill the screen without the menubar or windows header my old game is a good example. http://www.moddb.com/games/ddf-side-scr ... a-demo-v11 it should be an option.
