  • Alright will test that out, thanks.

    I am curious as to why get vertexX is giving width tho...

    I mean I was hoping it would at least give relative pixel coords.

  • Ok math question again.

    Im working with a distort map's get sprite vertexX, and vertexY (Sprite.VertexXY(Column, Row)), but that only returns a relative value from the sprites (I'm guessing) size, IE distort sprite absolute at column 0, row 0 to sprite x +0= 0, and distort sprite absolute at column 0, row 0 to sprite x +sprite width= 1, width x 2 would be 2 etc.

    So my question is, is there any way to get the real world or absolute x from that?

  • The line object, and canvas object "draw line" work the same. (x1,y1,x2,y2).

    The only difference is line uses window coordinates, and canvas uses its dimensions.

    Thing is there is no way to get correct collision detection with line, but you can with canvas.

    As far as primitives go there's no way to fill in either case. Also Python cant draw directly to the Construct window, you can only make calls to Construct objects, like sprite.

    Sprite BTW can make filled primitives out of a distort map, but there's no collision detection on it, unless you paste it into a canvas.

    Good times.

  • Wouldn't it be nice if we could apply a texture to the line object?

  • Once an object is added to a project, it is accessible from every layout.

    To place an object into a layer's object list simply copy and paste from the layout it was added to, or already exists in.

    So... basically, to get the organization your looking for, I'd suggest making a dummy layout, that you don't plan on running.

  • Thanks for the clarification, and that does sound a bit easier to understand.

    I guess what I was missing was the set default.

    One other question, once you've set up the arm control, can you use "InputSystem.GetControlConfigData" for the next layout?

  • Try Construct 3

  • Yeeh, I've got the arm part kinda figured out, and its a good idea, as you might want your players to map their own keys, but presetting controls is somewhat confusing.

  • Search the forum. There are a lot of examples already.

    Might check the wiki for how to use the ini... that's a pretty good starting point.

  • -Sprite on collision with object

    ?

  • Not sure exactly what your wanting.

    Are you wanting to make an editor just using python scripting?

  • So far so good, and it seems pretty complete.

    I do think a little more info like setting controls etc. is needed.

    Great job!
