I'm pretty sure it doesn't end the function, it just sets the return value. I don't have access to C2 atm but you can test it by making a simple function with two return actions. Make the first return 1 and the second 2. Then call the function from an expression. If the action stops the function you'll get 1 otherwise you'll get 2.

Check your pm, it's fixed. The gameboy background was corrupted and had to be removed. You'll have to re-add it.

That's no good that it got corrupted. If you pm me the cap I can see if I can fix it or at least recover as much of it as possible.

One thought though... Have you tried opening up the task manager and see if any temp.exe are running? They are the preview executables and from time to time they don't close properly and still take up VRAM.

I'm on my cell so i can't open you capx but there's an example for solitaire here:

http://www.scirra.com/forum/solitaire-game-with-construct-2_topic60938_post374424.html#374424

It should still work. I forget if I commented it but at least it should help a bit.

Well, you could test it with an export and see what happens...

Just did and it makes a 1x1024 file.

You can calculate the total velocity of an object with the physics behavior with:

sqrt(sprite.physics.VelocityX^2+sprite.physics.VelocityY^2)

Then compare that with your 'velocity threshold' with a 'on collison' trigger.

Here's one such way to implement it:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5426011/examples18/tile_engine.capx

With 32x32 sized tiles then a total of 336 objects would be used.

1) Use the the "for" loop condition to set ranges in an array. For example with a array of size 100x100 this will set the bottom right quarter of it to one:

For "col" from 50 to 99

For "row" from 50 to 99

--- Array: set at (loopindex("col"), loopindex("row")) to 1

2)Same answer as for 1, just use different ranges with the for loops.

3) There are a few topics on this. Best results come from finding a method and tweaking it till it's satisfactory. If you specify exactly what you want the terrain to look like then we could help you better.

Guizmus I like the idea of adding another layer to the array to keep track of the number of neighbors. Here is an updated example that also has a major optimization of only scanning through the edge positions where a cell can be made. It should be much faster, and the main slowdown will be from drawing all the sprites.
sirrance i added some comments to help show what's being done.

Edit: thinking about it there may be a certain amount of bias with me using the repeat condition. There is no visual indication of this but not all the edges will be considered as the 10 created ones won't be picked until the next toplevel event. It may be of no relevance at all now but may be an issue if the capx were redesigned to make the maze instantly instead of progressively.

I had a crack at it and here's my result:

uc337119c412ee46e2ba2f1dce24.dl.dropboxusercontent.com/cd/0/get/Ch9AhdZWYu4xmMbvokLV53S3J5OYt1-qzUYQi2ip8351VSJ_27ZlqcvpcE83XEiRDxg3lvUNIfzhnghl_Yn7qV1PDtCJdDzznadxWggPGEzsw7zvbG80L5z37rdfDImzojo/file
I used an array of size (20,20,2) to store the weights and weather or not a bit was plotted there (0 or 1).

It is rather slow since it scans the entire grid every time a piece is added. It can be made much faster if you find a way to only scan through neighboring cells.

Yes, it is possible. You could use webstorage to store the state and time of last access, and when you open it you could see how much time has elapsed and cause things to happen as if it was running the whole time.

While there are ways to calculate the slope on any point on a parabola I find a simpler method is to save the old position of the objects and set the angle from the old to current position. The event would look like this:

+every tick

set angle to angle(self.old_x, self.old_y, self.x, self.y)

set old_x to self.x

set old_y to self.y

This method has the added benefit that it can be used with any motion.
