% does not give you percent, it gives you the remainder after division.

To get 50% of a value just multiply by 0.5.

The Input system plugin allows you to do that:

How big is your layout? If it's very large then the white box showing where your window is will be small.

This can be used instead of atan2:
angle(0, 0, x, y)[/code:53evcedq]

First let me say that these examples are barely python, mostly winapi calls. They were mainly an exercise to see how it can be done.

The first example is pretty much like the AVI object but without the controls. It's always drawn on top and it can be destroyed, but it has to be done manually.

Made in 0.99.96

Needs the ctypes python library.

The second example is Media Player embedded in the window, so it supports any file format that Media Player can play.

Made in 0.99.96

Needs the ctypes and win32com python libraries.

Python is cool, but I think a plug-in would be better.

EDIT:

Also if it's of any interest here's an example of embedding flash in your app:

Made in 0.99.96

Needs the ctypes and win32com python libraries.

Uncheck "Enable Scripting" in the application properties. If you have it enabled and you don't use any python scripts the game will crash after ~700 objects are created or destroyed. The crash won't occur when you have scripting enabled if some python scripts are run periodically.

You need to add an event to plot your objects on the minimap.

Something like this should work:
+ System: Always (every tick) -> Minimap: Clear terrain -> Minimap: Draw terrain Sprite with scale 2 [/code:3trlf03s]

You need to use a plugin to be able to change keys in game, either of these plugins should work.

It will affect only the player colliding.

Just add a private variable to the enemy sprite. That way each enemy will have their own hp.

The Ghost Shooter Tutorial covers how to do this.

[quote:3mypuo6u]Why did the state of the global variable change the number of records though?
It seems to be a bug with the SpriteFont object since it only happens when they are global.

Uncheck 'global' for the spritefont objects and the objects won't disappear.
