Quick addition to above -

I changed the events in the 'main events group' to-

+ MouseKeyboard: Mouse is over photos

+ System: Always (every tick)

-> TiledBackground1: Set image offset to photos.Value('valx'), photos.Value('valy')

+ MouseKeyboard: On Left Clicked on photos

+ System: Repeat 2 times

-> Canvas: Paste TiledBackground1 into canvas

-> ImageManipulator: Copy image from sprite Canvas

-> ImageManipulator: Copy image to sprite photos

After doing this, i didnt have to double click on the 'photos' to paste in the image.

This doesn't solve the problem (it still pastes to all the sprites) but it stops the 'paste' lag that seems to happen.

Thanks

I need to find a way to copy and paste images from tiled background into a sprite.

(actually several instances of the same sprite)

Iv'e got as far as creating the the image offset x,y events, but i cant work out the rest.

Ive searched the forums, downloaded loads of caps but still can't get it to work.

Here's my cap-

Iv'e added comments inside the cap that explain things a bit clearer.

Half finished app iv'e been working on.

Not very exciting unless your into astronomy.

I was trying to create an educational application, but im struggling to work out how

i can insert large paragraphs of text.

If your still stuck, you can use these-

It contains 3 PNG images with transparency and instructions.

I made them for a shooting game i am working on.

I used these events -

Line 7 + MouseKeyboard: On Left mouse button Clicked

-> System: Create object muzzleflash on layer 2 at (gun.X-6, gun.Y-20)

Line 8 + muzzleflash: Any animation finished

-> muzzleflash: Destroy

The animation settings were -

Animation speed 50

Loop OFF

Repeat # 2

Repeat to 1

Ping-pong OFF

Feel free to use them if they want.

Thanks for the tips. After reading through your comments -

"Some games can work well with timedelta, others suffer from problems/ annoyances"

"Be aware though, setting a fixed framerate means you rely on your player's hardware to be able to calculate that much frames of your game per second, which is not always given. Also, as soon as there is anything that inhibits the pc at times, your game will run much slower, etc."

I'm gonna stick to using time-delta. Ive not even thought about how the 'Toggled events' will perform when i switch them back on.

It's because of timedelta. As your frame rate varies slightly timedelta changes slightly which affects the trajectory. Try ticking the "Override timedelta" tick box in Application properties->advanced. (this will make your game frame rate dependent btw)

If you want your game to use timedelta, then you have to accept that you won't have perfect consistency.

Thanks for the solution Davioware.

Is over-riding time-delta and creating a game frame rate dependent not something you would recommend ?

In the following example, The player presses the 'launch' button to fire an object 'ball' at a group of boxes.(the boxes need to land in the tree branches)

Why does the projectile's path change slightly on each press of the 'launch button?...Sometimes i can dislodge all the boxes at the first attempt, but the next time the projectile's path changes slightly?

Thank in advance.

Looks cool! The cannon should probably be below the camera, though. xP

I'm only the driver.

I just realised i didnt include a sound for the sniper bullet in the above rar file.

you can get it here -

Just drop it into the 'sounds' folder.

Cheers

The other thing i forgot to mention....I had provide 'proof' that the videos(contents) were mine.

This involved taking screenshots of the software i used to create them(In some cases this could be 5 or 6 different graphics and sound programs) and then submit these screenshots with a written explanation as to how each part of the video was produced!

I have stopped making them now....Not worth the hassle.

For those of you who have an interest in graphic design and animation, here is a link to my youtube channels-

I had to use 2 names because of legal stuff....If you have any questions re the vids, please ask?

Yeah sounds about right, but it varies depending on your click trough ratio.

Not sure why you would be getting paid for such a low amount tho....

Usually you have to accumulate much more than that.

Anyway I wouldn't plan on getting rich off of it, unless you have a way to get 40k hits... a day.

I just checked my account, this is the balance -
