Was something like this what you had in mind?

The file object has an execute function.

the winds need to work with some boxs that are with physics behavior

but it cant move all of em if there is alot of boxes behind

Apply a force to the boxes in the direct of the wind (Possibly making it strong as it get's close to the source. Using maybe the line of sight object, test if the boxes can see the source, if not cut the amount of force WAY down.

EDIT: And certainly include an area of effect box if needed.

Making a object global carries it to each layout after the first layout it's in (That is, if you put a global object in layout 2, it appears in layouts 2, 3, and beyond). The thing is, if you put a character in each layout, then those guys begin to add up. Suddenly, the camera is centered...between them all. At least, I believe that's what may be your problem.

If so, instead make a object that the character is moved to at the start of each layout. Also throw up an even that checks if the character is in the level...if not, make one.

Of course, that's not your problem however, you may need to elaborate a bit more.

Um isn't the code a little redundant?

I mean, you'd get the same results if you said

Left mouse button is down

Every 400 Miliseconds

And make the actions for that the ones for Event 3

And you wouldn't need a private variable.

Do you want something like this?

You will need

Disk Effect: tulamide

Alpha Inverse effect: Made just for this

Something like this?

I'm not even sure what I was thinking when I made this, it seemed...nostalgic. The only object you're seeing is the canvas. Feel free to do whatever the heck you want with it. Also, Christmas colors for the holidays.

I don't think that'd work.

As an example generate a random value:

0-30 -- 50% of the time

31-60 -- 35% of the time

61-100 -- 15% of the time

not necessarily that but something similar.

What about something like this.

Generate a random number between 0-190

Send to a private variable

If Equal to or less than 90-Divide by 3 and round

If between 91-150- Subtract 60 then Divide by two then round

If Greater than 150- Subtract 90 then round

I believe that should give you

0-30 -- 9/19 of the time

31-60 -- 6/19 of the time

61-100 -- 4/19 of the time

I'm currently in the middle of a neat little 3D project, but I've run into a snag. I've run into a an issue where I can't introduce both a "world based" pitch and a "camera based" pitch. If I try simply adding the two pitches, the moment Yaw is introduced (From the "camera") it starts to screw up. I figure if I had two pitches I could remedy this problem, since the "world based" could occur before and the "camera based" afterwards. Any suggestions? I can post what I have so far if needed.

It's not that hard to do physics based bullets. Do you want something like this?

Don't laugh with a webcam we MIGHT JUST BE ABLE TO DO THAT

Ok it would probably require a custom plugin but still.

Probably wouldn't be too hard. The only info you'd really need for something simple is the average brightness of the picture feed. From there, you could adjust the brightness of the room, or create a shadows that responds to the light feed.

For something a bit more complex, factor in webcam position and split the average brightness into smaller sectors.

I'm no programmer however, so I might be making it sound a lot simpler than it is.
