One of my fave movies that. I doubt the remake can match the eerie atmosphere of the original. They might realise this and have Blade come in and he'll surely Kick Ass (couldn't resist) just for a few extra $$$ at the boxoffice, but they'll have to wait on Snipes getting out of prison! Saying that, REC was a cool movie and the remake wasn't too bad. So who knows....

pfff stop being lazy man! That's my forte! Get that game done already!

Look at what happened to Anthony Flack and his game Platypus on the Blitz Basic forums. The company that published Blitz Basic (forgot the name) liked his game and gave him a small amount to finish it off (add a few more levels, polish it etc). If memory serves that amount was about �1000 (big amount at the time for him seeing as he was skint). He gave them the rights to it and well.... anyone who knows anything about games knows he lost a crapload 'cause it made a packet! And no, he didn't have any royalties. Just be careful what you sign away.

These should help you..

Aha! I knew it'd be so obvious I'd kick myself! Nice one again mate!

Was just about to reply to JUK saying his method wasn't working and noticed ROJO's, so thought I'd give that a try before I replied. IT WORKED! Nice one man. Bit weird that it's Create(), as that's not listed in the Functions list box on the right in the Python editor. Ah well..

Cheers for replying too JUK. Would still like to know your method as I'd probably find it useful to call a Construct Function from within Python... nothing I tried worked.

eg. Construct -> On Function "blah"

Python -> blah()

Doesn't work..

Did anyone get this working? I want to create a sprite dynamically from Python but I'm getting the same error as Zack0.

I have a sprite object on the layout named Sprite.

In Python I have the following code - System.CreateObject(Sprite, 1, 50, 50)

I've also tried - spr = System.CreateObject(Sprite, 1, 50, 50) , in case it returns the object created or something. I've even tried CreateObjectByName with quotations.. nothing works. Any ideas?

You can create a ticket on the tracker and tick 'private' - that way only developers will see it.

The developers are known to steal logos (ref: Stencyl) so I wouldn't trust them with your work

jk!

Ahh cheers man. works now. Ironically, after I posted here

Been away for a while. Checked the site now and then and have tried to log into the chat multiple times without success. Just thought it was bad timing, but now it's the same thing? Bad timng is once or twice, but for the 6th or 8th time? =D

I can see what people have typed before I log in, but anything I type isn't being registered... anyone else having this problem?

newt:

the first 50secs.. is that her? ;P

hahah That's why I hate working in retail

I worked in a computer showroom many years ago. We had this Asian guy who was quite regular with his PC problems.. we helped him but weren't meant to as we were only meant to be selling the computers. Our tech support was a premium line where the wait time was like 40mins+ so yeah they were being charged per minute on hold! Anyway, this guy phones up one day and speaks to my colleague..

him: "My keys are missing"

colleague: "Your keys are missing? What do you mean?"

him: "They're gone"

colleague: "Your keyboard is missing?"

him: "No. Just the keys"

... after about 15mins if this kinda bullshit, my colleague finally finds out he meant the letters on a few keys had faded!

Another threatened to sue the company because he cut his finger while opening a machine
