  • Awesome! Just a heads up Ashley and AppMobi - requesting project files doesn't seem to work when exported to AppMobi.

  • Hey hey. Not sure if this can really be called a bug, its more of an inconvenient behavior.

    So I've been playing around with a bunch of global arrays to hold information for my game. I've finished the level prototype and I am ready to begin creating new levels. However, when duplicating the prototype level, the global arrays are also duplicated. Unfortunately this is a bit game-breaking for me as I use a lot of 'For Each Element' loops. Their doesn't seem to be a convenient way to delete the arrays from the layout - and I only ever need one for the entire project.

    Here's an example where I:

    1. Created an array
    2. Duplicated the layout

    dl.dropbox.com/u/1378330/ArrayExample.capx

    Is there an easy way to delete global objects from a layout? Or could we possibly get a dialogue that asks us if we want to duplicate global objects when duplicating a layout?

  • Hi guys

    Just wondering if anyone had a way to load an array through a JSON string when using AppMobi? With a desktop, I'm just using the "Request project file" action, but that doesn't seem to work with AppMobi.

  • Thanks Ash! That was it.

  • Hi Nimtrix. Good idea. I've updated the second example to do just that. The sprite does appear to be saying that it's width is equal to the window width. However, this is evidently not the case for me, as you can see here:

  • Sorry, I should really have been clearer. I believe the actual values displayed are correct. HOWEVER, the sprites do not resize properly - the action should resize their width to the width of the window, but it does not do it properly.

    I believe it probably has something to do with the Fullscreen setting, which is set to Scale.

  • Thanks guys. I managed to get it working with an array - but r0j0hound's solution is probably the most elegant way to do it. I'll keep it in mind for future!

  • Hi there

    Here's a capx for something I've been working on:

    [solved]

    I've got a problem in that the WindowWidth expression appears to be giving me an incorrect value - either that, or something has gone wrong with events and I cannot figure out what. Can anyone see what has gone wrong here?

    Reproduced it here, and it's only apparent when the window gets quite thin:

  • Hi there

    I've got a question that didn't sound hard to me when I started, but has actually turned out quite tricky. Basically I have X buttons, and I need to randomly assign them IDs from 1 to X. However, no two buttons can have the same ID.

    How can this be done with events?

    Cheers!

  • Hi there

    After saving a .capx project, and trying to reopen it, I get this message:

    Failed to open project

    Parameter specifies variable 'ToolTipEnabled' which does not appear to be an instance variable in 'PlaceableTile'

    Line 4104, column 25

    In Event sheet 1.xml

    The file may be invalid. Try checking the file in a text editor (projects are saved in xml format).

    I believe I know what happened. The object 'PlaceableTile' was part of a Family called 'ToolTips'. This family had a boolean variable 'ToolTipEnabled'. However, I removed PlaceableTile from this family after setting a default value for this variable, which might have screwed things up. I believe I used the right-click context menu to remove the PlaceableTile object from the family, which I've never done before.

    How do I fix my project? I don't want to go in there and blindy delete things and completely screw it up. To be clear, it is saved as a .capx.

  • Funny bug.

    Though all works fine on my computer.

    Does clicking "Reset dialogs" in the preferences dialog changes something ?

    Could you try updating your graphic card drivers ?

    Maybe also uninstalling/reinstalling C2 might help.

    Resetting dialogues fixed it. Thanks!

  • Hello! Just a quite annoying, although not impossible to work around, bug in r92 and r93. As you can see below:

    <img src="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1378330/C2Bug_7-6-12.jpg" border="0" />

    I don't have an "OK" or "Cancel" button. This occurs in pretty much everything, be it adding or editing actions, conditions, etc.
