local variables exist in the free edition

the limitations of the free edition are:

• 100 events
• 4 layers
• 2 fx
• no family
• dunno about containers (?)

You should use a detector sprite

Doing a "sprite is overlapping sprite" you'll never get what you want.

You should do a

+Mouse: on left button clicked on okay
  OR
+Keyboard: on Return pressed
   +system: foreach tile
      local number dist = ...  //distance between each tile
      local number diet = 0
      local number habitat = 0
      local number texture = 0
      -> system: set diet to tile.diet
      -> system: set habitat to tile.habitat
      -> system: set texture to tile.texture

      +system: repeat 6 times
         -> set detector set X to tile.X + cos(30 + (loopindex*60)) * dist
         -> set detector set X to tile.Y + sin(30 + (loopindex*60)) * dist

         +system: pick all tile
         +tile is overlapping detector
             +tile.diet = diet
                 -> system: add 1 to score
             +tile.habitat = habitat
                 -> system: add 1 to score
             +tile.texture = texture
                 -> system: add 1 to score

add in event 2

System: dragging = 0

when you are "in touch" sMX and sMY gets constantly updated so on event 4

sMX and sMY are always equal to Touch.AbsoluteX and Touch.AbsoluteY so you have scroll to sSX + 0 , sSY + 0... no movement.

In the original capx it was a trigger "on click" (instantaneous) not "mouse is down" (continue)

EyeHawk

dunno share capx

easier if you show what you are doing

is overlapping has no action

trigger once should be put in the same event block as is overlapping

you could do something like:

Global constant number ACTIVATION_DISTANCE = 600

+Every Tick
  -> badGuy: set activated to false

+badGuy: X > (scrollX - ACTIVATION_DISTANCE)
+badGuy: X < (scrollX + ACTIVATION_DISTANCE)
  -> badGuy: set activated to true

+badGuy: Is Activated
  -> move (badGuy.speed * dt) at Angle (badGuy.direction)
  +badGuy: is overlapping edgeMarker
  +trigger once
    -> badGuy: set direction to (180 - badGuy.direction)

Yeah basically if you use a global variable in an argument of the Call function action, when you change the name the action doesn't get updated with the new name. And It breaks the capx.

Yep super good, now my recursive backtracker maze algorithm works like a charm :D

as you can see

Yep, works as expected. Thank you (:

Hi folks,

Just for fun I fiddled with the Timer behavior sources

and as it was broken (couldn't create two different timer on the same behavior), I started to rework it a bit.

So now not only can you create as much timer as you want,

but you also have one new condition:

• timer "timername" is running: true if the timer is currently running

and two new expression:

• count("timerName"): returns the current value of the counter
• initialValue("timerName"): returns the initial value you put in the counter

I'll support this plugin so if you have any bug and/or feature request, feel free to ask (:

Timer.zip

You'll have to overwrite the original plugin to avoid conflict

Just in case there's bugs you can fall back on the original one

Timer_original.zip

Have fun (:Yann2012-11-20 22:32:02

Ashley oh yeah sorry that's exactly that.

I interpreted this as "I couldn't access siblings of an object when I create it" but yeah it's more a supposition of what I thought was going on than a description of the bug (:
