I started to make a particle editor a few days ago and that is what I've done so far. Credits goes also to Tulamide, who helped to improve my code.

I will add more options to it later <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle">

The "move with mouse" thing is only an experimental thing. Try it out and have fun with it <img src="smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" align="middle">

Well, my english is maybe not good enough for an explanation^^

Overlapping at offset(x,y). (0,1) does mean, that the grass is 1 pix(coordinate) underneath the object. I used it, because only "overlapping at offset" didn't work. Please correct my answer if it's wrong^^

How about this one:

I don't recommend physics behavior on the player itself.

I've made a little example ->

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/26932498/scroll.cap

Put the 90 at "scrollxleft + 90" to a little lower number, to put the "scroll-wall" exactly on the left screen, so the player doesn't see it.

edit: reuploaded the .cap, fixed a small bug^^ You can also check the option "set invisible on start" of the wall. And the condition "player is walking" can be deleted. Dunno why I added it.

If R0J0's way is too complicated, why not just use sprites?

Google search. You could just load them?

Maybe because if you loading your savegame, the layout already started.

Maybe putting "play music" also into "load" command at the end? (sorry for my english^^)

edit: or does it help to set the "play music" command not to "start of layout", but to "on load"?

And if you make objects invisible until you get closer to them? Maybe with some scrollxright/left commands? Doesn't mean invisivle, it won't be rendered?

At the end, it looks more complicated as it was, when you tought it out <img src="smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" align="middle">. Can't find that simple sin/cos example so I made a new one. I named the variables how you have to set up the formula if you want to make something circles around^^(x + radius * cos(angle))

Thank you^^

Made my day/week/month <img src="smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Now I will think about the tangential effects.

After that, a little GUI with sliders and it's perfect^^.

After all it's worth a sticky maybe <img src="smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

I come with updates if I get anything new.

Will use your .cap. I could use mine and improve it with your stuff, but I'm lazy and yours is better sorted <img src="smileys/smiley9.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Really interesting .cap^^ Just like allways if you post something <img src="smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

I'm too curious right now, gonna look more into your cap and combine things^^. Is it possible to move your particles slightly in one direction?

And how you managed it, that the particles won't "slide" a few cm behind the mouse? Still looking how to turn it on/off xD that slide lol. Really interesting .cap, as I said :P, thanks again for that.

No, it's really 404, check your pms in a few minutes.

I also recognized, that I interchanged the buttons <img src="smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

S and X for the left thing, D and C for the right ones^^.

Ahhh! It's the clamp thing ><.

I spawn the particles with "random" + sin/cos.

Is there any other way to spawn the particles in a circle?

Because..

Without clamp, I don't know, how to tell the Sprites to keep away from the center^^

And random picks numbers that are(sometimes) below the number "clamp" allows. That's why they get stuck at the same place and it doesn't look good. I find out what's wrong, but still wondering how to fix this.

edit: Got an idea, I'm sure Tulamide knows how to make a selfmade "random"-function. I need one where I can make random(60,120) so I get only numbers from x to y. Can I do that with expressions and events?
