k

there are two problems here first:

<img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1013446/spritefont/s1.PNG">

you're creating an array called "" inside the nonexistant array {"level"}

instead of creating an array called "level" inside of {""}

even though it doesn't crash at this point, there is no array called level, so anytime you try to access it, it will crash

the second problem is:

<img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1013446/spritefont/s2.PNG">

you're trying to insert into an "object type" array

the array "objs" you created was an object array

this also causes a crash, because 's' is looking for an "object type" array called "objs" which doesn't exist

I think this was a simple oversight, but if you need help with the differences between objects, and objecttypes, just post back, or check out the first post in this thread.

I think now that you realize the mistake, you might not need any help with the tt thing, but post back if you do

thanks for using S

I don't know

if we're talking fx, phantom menace is pathetic compared to this

this blows away anything before it

when they're in the forest, at times, all flora(edit) is cgi, yet completely convincing in every way

you're struck taking in the beauty of the scenery, rather than the realism of the special effects

I didn't even fully realize how good the effects were, until after I left the theatre, because they were good enough to forget they were effects.

in the preview you might be struck by some uncanny valley impressions

but when you sit through the first 15 minutes of pandora, you completely forget this stuff isn't real, and you're marveling at new species, instead of new levels of cgi.

jar jar binks looked hokey even when I first saw it.

if you can't see this movie's at a new level graphically

then your eyes might not be trained to look for such things

even gollum had unrealistic aspects to him, and the scenes with the ents in LOTR had ugly green screen artifacts,

the effects in this movie are just breathtaking

I might catch a flaw, when I see it again at imax3d tommorow

lucid,

thanks for screenshots. But the real girl is better than the neytiri.

no problem

and for me personally, I'd much rather have neytiri than the actress who played her

Yes, indeed. But the trailer sucked already. And so does the film I'm afraid. If you're easily excited by flashy visuals go see it. AVATAR really hasn't anything else to offer. It does have horribly designed blue aliens...

yeah, cuz im simple-minded and easily excited.

for anyone considering seeing the movie, it has a great story par for the course with james cameron.

yes the special effects were probably the best of any movie made thus far, but the movie itself is great as well. go with what rebirth and i said. if you think the trailer looks awesome, go see it. if not, well make condescendng comments on this thread

got something kinda like runtime imagepoints now for s

the next version

just the forward and reverse math for setting or getting an 'imagepoint'

thats how shipbuilder worked

CallFunction and GetData stuff to alter sprite meshes through other plugins

it would be cool to be able to create spritespecific behaviors that can alter the mesh in crazy ways.

alot of general sprite mesh alterations would be useful in more than one game

effects like bending sprites around interpolated points, 3d rotation, meshes that stretch around other sprites, etc

extremely convoluted with events, difficult to read, and require alot of eventing overhead

these could be easily generalized, and cut down to a few inputs

as of now, these meshing possibilities are only used by more advanced users, even though any user could understand something like (rotate mesh on z axis)

I will eventually start making plugins that do things like this, and I believe others would as well.

it would be beneficial if it was built into the official sprite plugin, and didn't require an additional 3rd party altered sprite plugin to be released

btw, for anyone who's curious

I was wrong in my theory

I have no idea what causes all these annoying problems

go ahead and send me the files deadeye

seriously, as good as the trailers make it seem

loved it!

IMAX 3D, baby!

python is totally broken now

I just released a fix for the old python problem

but now even a simple python command like

sprite.angle = 0

crashes the runtime

download the fix and example cap here:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1013446/pyfix/pyfix.rar

I haven't tested this with earlier versions of construct (before 99.5)

if you've never used python before, before you begin, you'll need to install python on your pc:

http://python.org/ftp/python/2.6.4/python-2.6.4.msi

Use picking in python by following these 3 simple steps: (SOL stands for Selected Object List, btw)

• first call py.GetSOL("object name here")[/code:b3er7w1s]
• next open a while loop while py.SOL:[/code:b3er7w1s]
• finally, within this while loop, when you want to refer to the picked set of objects call the object like this: objectname[py.SOLi][/code:b3er7w1s]of course replacing objectname with the actual name of the object

that's it.

there are plenty of point and click games in 3d, or games with 3d clicking, and its not hard, there are built in direct3d functions for it
