  • It's partially doable, you can use the canvas plugin to draw the shapes but you wouldn't be able to use the physics behavior since you can't change the collision polygon a runtime.

    An approach for the splitting of a polygon by a line mechanic is explained here:

  • till waiting for the auto updater.....any news guys?

    Why not just download and install from the first post on this topic?

  • You could try using a slightly older driver or tweaking the settings in Catalyst. I have a similar issue with vista and a radeon x1200 where at 1:1 scale the sprites appear at half resolution (pixely) and when I resized them smaller they fade to transparent. It was working correctly for me until I upgraded to the latest driver. It still occurred when I rolled-back the driver so it leads me to think it's some graphics quality setting.

    You may have more luck than I since your card is still supported by AMD.

  • Every time one of the keys of the code is pressed append it to a text variable.

    Do a system compare with right(length of code) equal to code to see if it's a match.

    So say the code is udlra.

    u for Up, d for Down, a for A, etc.

    You events (-input events) would look like this:

    Global text variable 'value'=""

    System| compare right(value, 5) = "udlra"

  • If you use this pattern: |index,value

    pets="|1,dog|2,cat|3,fish"

    To get the value at slot:

    tokenat(tokenat(pets, slot, "|"), 1, ",")

    To change the value of slot to newvalue:

    Set value pets to replace(pets, "|" & tokenat(pets, slot, "|"), "|" & slot & "," & newvalue)

    If you just add variables to the list then just append to the end increasing the index each time.

    eg. "|4,cow|5,rock"

    If you want to remove values from the list then instead of "|index,value" think of it as "|id,value".

    pets="|1,dog|2,cat|3,fish"

    Getting the value of a slot is the same:

    tokenat(tokenat(pets, slot, "|"), 1, ",")

    To change the value of slot to newvalue is a bit more complicated:

    Set value pets to replace(pets, "|" & tokenat(pets, slot, "|"), "|" & tokenat(tokenat(pets, slot, "|"), 0, ",") & "," & newvalue)

    Then you can also remove a slot like so:

    Set value pets to replace(pets, "|" & tokenat(pets, slot, "|"), "")

    You could also try using a plugin instead of dealing with just text as it would probably be simpler.

  • only one of the "for each"s are needed

    object1 is the child object type,

    object2 is the parent object type.

    For each object1

    object2 | Pick instance with UID object2.variable

    ---- object1| follow object2

  • It's working here. I never saw the html5 loading animation, and it was just black initially so I refreshed the page and it runs.

  • Are you selecting the correct font name with the Text object?

    The file name is "vistor1.ttf" and the font name is "Visitor TT1 BRK".

  • The Canvas plugin does not use webgl so I would say that using sprites is faster.   Also sprites would use less memory since multiple instances share the same image, whereas the canvas has a separate image per instance.

    If you have webgl disabled you may get better performance by using one canvas and drawing rectangles to that, but you would have to do tests to see if that indeed is the case.

  • Use a double quote.

    Ex:

    """fish""" --> "fish"

    """" --> "

    "This is a quote:("")" --> This is a quote:(")

  • 1. There is no action for it. Destroying one of the objects would destroy the joint. One idea that may work is to destroy and recreate an object and then recreate non-broken joints. It's just an idea, I haven't tested to see if it would work.

    2. I haven't used that behavior that much. A more realistic motion could probably be done with the physics behavior. How? A google search of "2d racing physics" result in some approaches that could be adapted to Construct. Also you could look at the "Your Creations" section and see if anyone else has come up with a good solution.

    3. Try this:

    Set Physics angular velocity to self.Physics.AngularVelocity*0.9

    Change 0.9 to a smaller number for faster damping.

    4. Try setting "Layout properties"->"Unbounded scrolling" to Yes.

    5. From this post here are two examples of how to do LOS:
