It's simply an inconsistency, as it is if I need a higher precision value I have to use an action to set the value of the local or global variable.

The issue came up in this topic:

For local and global variables, when inputting an initial number value, any number with more digits than 6 gets rounded, but at runtime 15 digit numbers can be used with no rounding.

With regard to the number size issue. If you set a variable with an action you can use 15 digit numbers with no rounding.

At what point does it crash? TextureHandles are reference counted, which is taken care of for you when creating a new textureHandle. But when manually setting a texture to an existing textureHandle it appears that you need to manually increment the reference.

You can't do it in construct without removing the family but this should be able to do it:

Put your cap in the same folder as this and change 'fileToOpen' to the name of your cap.

Here you go:

Collisions at the seams of the layout are the only technical issue that needs to be worked around. This is addressed in the example by extending the platforms at the edge of the layout a bit out of the layout.

When using families a container will only pick the paired object type, the family the paired object belongs to won't be picked.

Here's a solution:

1. Add a variable to the enemy family and call it 'pair'.

2. Add an action to "always" or "start of layout" to set Enemy('pair') to Red.UID.

3. Then for all the events that need to pick the enemy paired with Red add these two conditions.

+ For each Red

+ Enemy 'pair' equal to Red.UID

I had a look and the file becomes all zeros about two thirds of the way through. The only thing that was salvageable was most of the images, I was able to recover 192 of the 207 image.

I sent you a PM with a link to the salvaged images.

You mean a kickback? It's basically giving the player some speed in the opposite direction as they're shooting. The implementation varies depending on what movement behavior you're using.

Here is an example for a platformer:

Shoot angle=0

Sex player X speed to x_speed - 20

Shoot angle=0

Sex player X speed to x_speed + 20

It sounds like your project may be corrupted. If you post the cap file I can see if it can be salvaged.

The easiest would be to use the Absolute Value expression or "abs()".

ex:

abs(-2)=2

abs(2) =2

Edit:

Barely beat tulimide.
