also things like that are easier to do with families

With family you can more easily filter 2 instances of the same object type and always know in expression which is which.

You filter the first one with the objecttype name, the other one with the family name and you can do complicated operation between them.

Without family it's still possible but you would have to do that in more convoluted ways.

maybe you don't have the same layer structure.

look at event 8 and check if Layer 2 is the proper layer

hehe too bad, I don't drink alcohol (:

next time, try lemonade with grenadine syrup. That's better :D

I think it won't. Well it's not very hard to check that, just instead of setting a variable set some random size and you'll see if all the already created object are affected or not.

To simulate picking you could set a boolean named 'picked' to true on creation inside the function, and then add a "is picked" after the call to set your value and directly set this boolean to false to somehow lock it.

when I suggested canvas, I though you were also using your tileMap for background stuff like in niffla's knytt and knytt stories.

So I thought you will spawn an entire grid of sprite.

But as you said earlier, you just want to spawn some platform, ennemies and pickup. For that you shouldn't use canvas.

Also newt was just suggesting using an image based map system... (it's one of his recurring obsession :D)

Create another project and put an array in it, then save it as project and look at how the xml is made.

You then just have to mimic the syntaxe

didn't know drag&drop behavior worked on touch devices... nice (:

yeah the array aren't in your layout

You have to save you're game as project and go into your layout xml to add the array back in it.

Well, even if it's not super fast as it could be, it I observed better performances with webGL than without it. That was mostly why I did add this modification.
