  • Hi,

    I was tinkering with something similar a few months back. I was going for a replication of the way event sheets can be manipulated. What I came up for drawing the tree was have each node know what node was next and what it's first child was.

    In a picture one possible tree could look something like this:

    node -> child -> node
 |                |
 v                v
next             next
 |                |
 v                v
node             node[/code:atbyigrr]

Then to draw the tree I start at the root node and recursively position all the other nodes.

In this capx the relevant stuff is in the "tree layout" group.

    It's not using the object's origin, it's just using the center of the object regardless of where the origin is. It was an oversight to not take into account the center of a polygon shape. I'll be taking a look into it.

  • Added a bugfix:

    • there was an error if you destroyed a paster object when webgl wasn't available.

  • Upadated to 2.2d

    I think I fixed it. It was caused by using polygon collision shape and there was an uninitialized variable named "tri". After that I found another bug by turning on "use strict". It should work now. Also I fixed a bug with paster when webgl isn't available that your capx exposed.

  • The events run after the behaviors so actions do override it. For the pin behavior even on a slow computer it should not jitter, because drawing still isn't done till the behaviors and events are done running.

  • This post has the update order using SDK terminology:

    The order you have the behaviors is the order they run. The main exception is the pin behavior which isn't run till after the events. The following is the order things are run:

    run Behaviors

    run Events

    run Certain behaviors like pin are run here instead

    Draw

    Well it's actually a bit more complex than that when considering multiple object types and instances. You generally don't have any control which object type is run first. The order they're added define the order. Usually it doesn't matter though.

    For each object type

    For each instance

    For each behavior except pin

    --- run behavior

    run events

    For each object type

    For each instance

    For each pin behavior

    --- run behavior

    draw

    In the example you stated the pin behavior should correct object1's position before drawing, so you the bullet behavior shouldn't affect it.

    The Desktop version has the same effect. Everything is visible just fine up to the "how to play" screen. After that it's white and I hear "3 2 1 crush them" and I hear sounds in response to the controls.

    It could be because my pc doesn't work with webgl, even with nw.js. My guess is you have might have a white layer using an effect to make it transparent when webgl is used.

    I tried your capx and couldn't get the error. Looking in C2's js files I'm not finding any way to narrow what the cause could be. That error can be triggered by the part that picks the other objects in a container and is used throughout the runtime and plugins.

  • spongehammer

    It might. It could be there is some function that I need to tweak that isn't being used in my tests.

  • spongehammer

    Hmm, best I can tell "tri" is some minified variable name, so I have no way of knowing where to look. I'm not getting an error on my machine when exporting as a minified nw.js.

  • Lately I found another way to use to do it with only the snapshot action without the canvas plugin.

    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/542 ... rect2.capx

    Basically you use "system->set canvas size" to set the image size you want, then you scroll to the center of where you want to capture and then take a snapshot. When it's done you then set the canvas size back to what it was.

  • I have some time. If you post or pm your capx I can try to isolate the cause.
