Thanks.

Is there a way for an included event sheet to know which layout it is on?

I've created a menu system (with pressed buttons) using an event sheet to be included on all layouts. I would like to be able to have the image of a pressed button depending on which layout is active.

For example if on layout one then the first menu item will show a 'pushed button' image whilst all the rest will not whilst if on layout three then the third button will be pressed.

tldr: I want to pass what layout is active to an included event sheet.

Any help appreciated.

I know how to swipe (on an Android Nexus 7) to move from one layout to another (thanks to jagoman: ), but how do you 'show' the transition? At the moment it just flicks between the layouts. Is there any way as one layout slides to the left the next layout slides into view?

Lol! Sounds like you're having fun!...

"Ahh.. I have this problem...."

"Wait, no I haven't..."

Glad you got it solved but beware that if you have different blocks with different attributes, e.g: sprBlock, sprDoubleHitblock, sprPowerDropBlock, sprTripleHitBlock, and so on then you'll have to have something like:

if
  sprBlock.count = 0
and
  sprDoubleHitblock.count = 0
and
  sprPowerDropBlock.count = 0
and
  sprTripleHitBlock.count = 0
...
and
...
then go to next layout[/code:2k2znn8w]
Better to put them all in one family to make it easier.

It just so happens I'm making something similar! You can take a look here: http://www.madladdesigns.co.uk/game/invaderoids.

To change levels when all blocks are gone: place all the bricks in a Familiy (e.g called 'bricks'), and use bricks.count = 0. That's how i do it.

you can include other event sheets into one. I've created a Player Event Sheet which holds all the bat and ball movements which i then include into all the other event sheets.

Hope that helps.

Thank you Yann!! I Have a maze type game that moves in blocks but was having trouble checking if there was a free space in the direction of movement, you've just solved that!

Example:

When moving right:-

player.x = player.x + (number of pixels)

Took me a while to find Global as the panel is made of different sprites but eventually found it and it works. Thanks plinkie, your help is very much appreciated.

I'm having a go at creating a Breakout clone and it's going well but is it possible to have the same Overlay over different levels without duplicating it on each level? Here's the Overlay:

[attachment=0:2wvmd7ei][/attachment:2wvmd7ei]

This could change as the game progresses so I don't really want to try to change the Overlay's on all the levels trying to line them up etc, and any small change means I need to go back and change them all again.

So is there a way to create one Overlay that can be used on many layouts?

I did a search and came up with something called Inheritance Layers but that was for CC. Is there anything similar for C2?

Just come across this and it's great! just what I'm looking for but how do you position the 'rotating planet'? It always seems to be in the bottom left and how do you remove the black square behind it?
