Hi !

How can I manage to follow an object without centering the camera on it ?

The purpose is making the camera following the player in a platform game only when it reaches 1/3 of the screen size on the left and 2/3 on the right (same for top and bottom).

So the camera won't move if the player change direction until it reaches 1/3 of the opposite screen edge.

Hi.

Is it possible, as the server, to dynamically change the maximum peers limit ?

If you want to have your life bar gradually change color, do this :

Add a "SetColor" effect on your bar and set these defaults values :

Red 0

Green 100

Blue 0

Then do this :

Can you provide a link to your .capx file ?

Yes, using the blend mode should works <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

Click under the black character to destroy the ground and let the ground regenerates itself on the character. It will be crushed and there will be a big blood splat which appears only on the tiles. Is that what you want to achieve ?

Do you think it would be possible to save the map as an XML file, which could be parsed by C2 to be "recreated" in my actual game ?

Edit : I tried and it seems to work. Could be a good alternative to the image I used on my platform game.

Thank you for this essential information.

Thank you

What would be the benefits of this method compared to the other one (synchronized instance variable + peer event) I described ? More control on what's happening ?

Ah ! Another question while I'm here : the multiplayer objet can sync instances positions and variables.

So, what's the best way to synchronize attributes like visibility ?

Send a broadcast message to the peers, the peer receives it and changes the instance visibility ?

Or just to add an instance variable "visibility" on the object which will synchronize automatically, and add a global event (availble for the host and peers) like "if sprite visibility = true -> sprite ; set visible" ?

Okay. So, to have it written as straightfoward as possible, for each room there are 1 host and X peers, right ?

For every room created there is a server and peers ?

Each room is "independant" regarding the others ? Can an event interact with another room ?

Thank you for your replies. Having one layout by map seems a good way to do so. I just have to think about a good way to create and share maps.

Borgi : at the current state of my development it could work as a sprite, but I want to store instance variables too in my level, I don't see how I could store this kind of information in my sprite where 1 pixel represents 1 sprite.
