    Fixed and Construct should give you a list when you type "Clock." But for quick Reference:

    Day- Day of the Month (1-31)

    Month- Month (0-11)

    Week- Day of Week (0-6, Starts with Sunday)

    Year- Year with 4 digits

    Millisecond-Self explanatory

    Second-Self explanatory

    Minute-Self explanatory

    Hour-24 Hour Based

    These are all based on local timezone btw.

    No, I don't think a PG rating is going to cut it. At least PG-13 <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":mrgreen:" title="Mr. Green">

    It's probably going to be a while. It went a name change to "Sinthestesia" a while ago (That disclaimer is actually kinda old), and much of what has been worked on for a while now has been mostly under the hood stuff. I'm currently in the process of transitioning over to content creation (Level design, cinematic writing, etc) I am however trying to get another video together that's actually stuff in game, and hopefully that will be out soon. Here's an older video, if you're curious though:

    Thanks. Right now it actually is in the game, but I figured after the first time people will just look at it like one of those copyright screens (The option to just START to the title screen is there). Something more brief might work, but at the same time I'm mostly going for what works the best atmospherically without being too intrusive, so I'm trying to see what might work best in that case. I'm planning on going a bit heavy on the foreshadowing of certain story events within the game, and I think it might be funny to have a few just as the title boots up.

    As for "hedenicide", it's a play on the words "genocide" and "hedonism" (Guess it should really be "hedonicide"), and could generally translate to anything from "waging a war on earthly pleasure" to "Mass sterilization of 'undesirable' personality traits". although It's really only a word though that makes particular sense within the confines of the game's narrative.

  • Problem Description

    Attempts to change screen scaling at runtime (via browser object) in webkit don't work

    Attach a Capx

    Contains 3 events related to setting fullscreen scaling and one to leave fullscreen

    Steps to Reproduce Bug

    • Step 1: Create an event that fullscreens with a different scale mode
    • Step 2: Preview in webkit and trigger event Observed Result Project just fullscreens with whatever was set at edittime Expected Result Project fullscreens with different scaling mode Affected Browsers
      • Chrome: (NO)
      • Webkit: (YES)
      • FireFox: (NO)

  • I'm currently working on a game that has some adult themes and one things I've been going back and forth on is including a possible content disclaimer on both the game's possible site and as the very first thing the player seen when they boot the game up. Things like this:

    Most games that go for a more disturbing angle seem to do this, while many with mature themes in general seem to ignore this, almost like these screens are more to set the mood than actually warn anyone (By the time you usually see them, you've already bought the game). Most games I've seen also go for something rather brief and vague; but with my own game at one point, I went for a massive list of terrible things that might happen in the game and actually caught quite a few eyes with it, when pitching the basic idea of the game to a few friends. I will go ahead and say some of the thing listed below were way overstated, better safe than sorry I figured.

    A few things have changed since this

    So I was wondering, what's everyone's view on including stuff like this? Is there a point to them? When should they be included? And how deep do you think the warnings should get?

  • Make another variable holding the timer. If wood=0. Subtract dt from timer. If timer less than or equal to 0. Set the timer and Wood back to their original values (To specify a restock time and amount per instance, just create just create a value for each, and set each to those values. Otherwise, just put a number to set them back to). There's also a timer behavior you can use, but it can be a bit tricky to work with.

    Yes, they must have different instance variables to store their loot. So I can collect wood from tree 1 until it ends, then I collect more wood from tree2. The object didnt get destroied. Instead of it, I restore the loot after a couple minutes.

    From the sound of it,, the only difference between the two trees is how much wood they have. You can easily use the same object for both of them, instance variables are calculated and stored on a per instance basis. You could have any number of "tree1"s and set them all differently, and if you take loot from one "tree1" the other won't lose it's loot; as long as you make a distinction in your events, construct will pick out the right one. If you need to restore them back to a certain number in a few minutes, just make a second value to set it back to.

  • That depends,

    If you have at least the personal version, use families for everything

    Either way, It looks like some objects are cloned, is there a difference between trees 1 and 2?

  • Should you run with update? Pain will be inevitable. Let us be fruitful in our decisions ^_^

  • moebios Yes, it can be difficult to implement, but is very flexible once you have it figured out.

    1. If you have music playing and you aren't switching it when you goto the menu, make sure you have it set (in the audio plugin) that music doesn't get saved, since it'll jump back when you switch back otherwise.

    2. Since you'll be making changes in your menu, make sure you have an object that ignores saving and loading. Pass all of the changes you make to it's instance variables, then upon loading the previous layout move those values where they need to be.

    3. Haven't messed with this one too much, but if you want to preserve part of the previous layout (As say, a background), create a sprite as your background, and have pausing take a snapshot of the layout (System action), then load the picture once you get to your menu.

    Man, that's something I though only EA was evil enough to do...

    Not really, the only stuff in the store is cosmetic stuff, and it's money earned ingame (Don't think you can even buy it atm). Honestly helps break up the monotony a little.

  • Rhindon No prob. As I said, I gave global timescale a shot first, but I think physics are tied to global timescale.
