  • Actually it looks like you have the sprite's origin centered. It needs to be on the left.

  • You could do this. Put all the names in an array. Then loop over the array and use the find expression to see if the input can be found for each item. If any do add it to the displayed list of items.

  • If it's not created there perhaps it's moved there elsewhere in events?

    Actually thinking about it. this action here:

    [quote:2401q0et] 'Create object' on layer3 at (enemy.X, enemy.Y)

    can create at 0,0 if there are no enemy instances to get a value from.

  • You could do this:

    global number placed=0

    spriteA: on drop

    spriteB: var = 1

    spriteA: is overlapping SpriteB

    SpriteB: pick closest to (spriteA.x, spriteA.y)

    --- spriteA: set position to spriteB

    --- spriteB: set var to 0

    --- add 1 to placed

    --- spriteA: disable dragndrop

    placed = spriteA.count

    --- wait 1 second

    --- restart layout

  • This is all you do to create a smooth line. You could also create dots as well at (mouse.x, mouse.y). It will become slow over time as the number of objects gets higher. You'll probably want to draw it to a paster object or something.

    global oldx=0

    global oldy=0

    left mouse is down

    --- create line at (oldx,oldy)

    --- line: set width to distance(self.x,self.y,mouse.x,mouse.y)

    --- line: set angle toward (mouse.x,mouse.y)

    every tick:

    --- set oldx to mouse.x

    --- set old.y to mouse.y

  • Just average the positions.

    With two players:

    camera.x = (player1.x + player2.x)/2

    camera.y = (player1.y + player2.y)/2

    With three players:

    camera.x = (player1.x + player2.x + player3.x)/3

    camera.y = (player1.y + player2.y + player3.y)/3

    With four players:

    camera.x = (player1.x + player2.x + player3.x + player4.x)/4

    camera.y = (player1.y + player2.y + player3.y + player4.y)/4

    ...and so one. hopefully you see the pattern

  • Moving stuff by smaller amounts is one way that kind of works. The correct way to solve it is to only move objects with forces or setting velocity. That way the physics behavior can work best. Any time you set a position or angle it is like the object teleport and the physics behavior cannot account for it. As a note, the pin behavior which is likely used here is the same as setting position and angle.

  • You can not use any behaviors if you like. Create a sprite and make the image origin to the left.

    Then give the sprite a variable called "w" and create an event like this:

    every tick:

    --- sprite: add cos(self.angle)*500*dt - self.w*0.001

    --- sprite: rotate self.w*dt degrees clockwise

    "w" is the angular velocity of the object.

    500 is the gravity. Change it to adjust the speed things go.

    0.001 is the damping. Make it lower to allow the pendulum to swing longer before it stops.

  • Vaguely. It can be figured out with the SDK. I'm not interested though.

  • You could position the boxes with events in an automated way so that you don't have to manually position them to eliminate corners to snag on.

    Add a Sprite that you use to place dots along the floor. The events would the create a box between each dot.

    You need to add a family called otherdot which contains dot. This is so we can pick two.

    The box Sprite needs to have it's origin at the top left.

    Finally the dots need to be created left to right. You could sort them by X or by some other means but that would make the events more complex.

    Paraphrased the events loop over the dots and if it's not the last dot it stretchs a new box to the next dot.

    Start of layout

    For each dot

    Compare: loopindex<dot.count-1

    Pick otherdot instance loopindex+1

    --- create box at dot.x, dot.y

    --- box: set angle towards otherdot.x, otherdot.y

    --- box: set width to distance(self.x,self.y,otherdot.x,otherdot.y)

  • Anyone interested enough that's able to follow the sdk would be able to.
