Alright, should have searched the forum a bit (:

I noticed this text thingy though and it was so illogical in my user point of view that I felt the urge to report it :D

Hi, there's a super weird bug on chrome.

Using the Every x seconds condition I get some pretty irregular results.

Also fps is way beyond 60 (shouldn't it be capped ?)

Anyway here's the buggy capx

snake_base.capx

That's the base of the snake game I put in the arcade showing how the movement works.

Maybe it's just me so here's my config:

Chrome: 18.0.1025.168 m

OS: Windows 2008 server r2

Graphic Card : Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 (the bug occurs with and without webGL though)

Either use family and a family variable (but you need at least a standard licence I think)

or

• put all your object in different animation frame of the same object
• set the animation speed to 0
• and change the initial frame (in property panel) for each of your instance in the layout.

That's the technique used before family got implemented... I still use it in some cases though.

"be moved without direct input"... well... In mario you have to press a button (direct input) to make mario move...

To make him stop: if he overlap the node and he is moving -> stop him

Once you have something on c2 you can share the capx too. It would probably be easier to pinpoint your potential mistakes.

Activate grid snapping on C2

On some points place a sprite you can name "node"

create 4 boolean insance variable named 'E' 'S' 'W' 'N' (for East, South, West and North)

For each node you have to manually set the following:

if you can go right set E to true, else false

if you can go down set S to true, else false

if you can go left set W to true, else false

if you can go up set N to true, else false

Then each time your player character is on a node, and you push an arrow key, check if the node allows you to go that way, if yes, start moving the character and disable control until it reaches the next node.

(setting things with the snap feature enabled help to have things properly aligned)

Now for levels, you can add a second instance variable named 'level' which can old text. You set it for each node to nothing if shouldn't lead to a level, else you set it to the layout name holding your level.

And then if the player character is on a node (not moving) and the player hit the "enter the level" control, AND node.level is not equal to nothing, then go to layout (by name) node.level

you can always do the following:

Have the same name for the colliding animation (like "collide") for all your hazard objects and then just call this animation. You then don't need to know which is which.

However, if you need to create some special effect depending on the family member you collide with, you can always do:

Add an instance variable to the family called 'fx'

Then for each of your family member you can set a number for this variable like 0 for no fx, 1 for stone debris, 2 for anything else

And then

+Player: collides with Hazzard
  -> Hazzard: set animation to "collide"
  + Hazzard.fx = 1
    -> hazzard: spawn stoneDebris
  + Hazzard.fx = 2
    -> do something else

If I were to create a level editor, I would probably put all the game object in a family "gameObjects" and I would appreciate to be able to browse an array of indexes and do something like

Global cols = 10
Global rows = 10
Global cellSize = 32
+System: for "" from 0 to cols*rows-1
  Local x = 0
  Local y = 0
  -> System: Set x to loopindex%cols
  -> System: Set y to floor(loopindex/cols)
  -> System: Create gameObjects[Array.At(x,y)] on Layer "Game" at (x*cellSize,y*cellSize)

Well if it's lower than 5 it's lower than 10 too.... so you have to add another condition

DeltaTime < 10

DeltaTime > 5

• > add 4000

The "math" just converts a 0 to 360? range into a 0 to 7 range to select the corresponding animation.

Step to reproduce:

• Create a Sprite
• Load a texture (I tried with a 256x256)
• Resize the texture via the resize button (I set it to 32x32)
• Look a the collision polygon, still covering a 256x256 square.

Seems weird since I thought collision polygon points were in Texture space. Anyway I had some weird random missing collision because of that.
