Hey <img src="smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

r52 Rocks! Just made my first Platform Shooter, and during the buildup i got some questions...maybe you can help me answer them now.

1. When i change the name of an object, maybe a sprite, it auto changes it's name in the event and action system, but only if directly affected.

But i access a value of a class in a phrase, it doesn't, but the formula keeps working anyway. Can you tell me how that works? Will there be a fix so that the accessed objects in phrases change their name too?

2. If i want to send a capx file with features of standard edition to a user with demo of c2 only, can he open, export and safe the project without restrictions? Didn't test it, but at flstudio the solution is just, that you cannot safe projects with the demo at all, but have full functionality of the daw. Guess this would be nice solution for c2 too.

3. How can i access the heigth/width of a layer in the event system?

4. Is there a way to rotate a textfield? If not, will that be implemented soon?

5. I need too access multiple Sprites with one object name, so that i dont have to write every event for new with the same methodes. Is there a way to do so?

Thanks alot

Hi again,

none of these tools work for me. radeon x1950 pro graphics, newest drivers.

only thing happening when click one of the buttons is

• the right half of the image is cut of
• the left half of the image is stretched to fit the original size

<img src="http://iteed.de/shared/c2stretchbug.jpg" border="0" />

this is the effect after using each of the tools.

oh i'd see the bug was already posted here...

scirra.com/forum/r512-problem-with-image-editor_topic44183.html

1. working image editor in sprite importer

2. rotation point selector

3. collision polygons

4. 2d physics

yes, sorry for my english. the mirror, flip and resize tool in the sprite import window is not working for me. it just ruines the sprite. if u want i can upload a pic. maybe this is based on the ati bug?

so what about the ability to use frames as states for mirroring? isn't that idea a lot better, also because of performance?

when can i asume to be able to use the tool in the sprite import window correctly? or do i need to workaround with mirroring in events for longer time?

its hard to reproduce, but only occurs on sprites that where moved somehow before in a layer.

me will up a screenshot when the error occurs again. got radeon x1950 pro, driver 8.593.100.0

me also got this bug sometimes again since 51.2.

in platform mode i wanted to fix the problem with the player sprite mirrored in animation frame 2, and switch with the keys.

but the mirror tool inside "edit image" doesnt work at all, it cuts the image in the center. also the other tools like resize or flip dont really do the things they should.

hope u can help me workaround this problem.

hey raindrop,

groups seem a serious solution for a tutorial of this kind. i would take 3 global variables in your case...1 for curTut, 1 for curTutSprite and 1 for curTutTxt.

everytime the user presses a key u increase the values and set the curTutTxt as u wish. also u set a group active. inside the group u check the 3 values, change the view and set the group inactive after the text and sprite has changed according to the state of the variables.

i hope u understand what i mean. <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

i'm talking about the combination of one picture on different forums AND usernames. i could also setup a site where u can register once with one name and use this on every forum which uses my system.

but i also dont like facebook and google, which links everything everywhere, but dont care about personal information of their users or laws.

a realistic view from the users side IS that security risk where someone gets my account however, he could ruin my name www, and use my account for spamming on multiple sites or whatever. this could be the admin itself, maybe if his database is unsecure or he is forced from someone to share the data. this dont need to be scriptkiddies or destructive people.

maybe outsourcing disk space and load times is nice for websites, and maybe its a good idea to handle multiple sites with one account, but i think this has to be an option. who doesn't want this, should also have the possibility to use standard functions like an avatar on a discussion board.

but now i give up, and dont use an avatar here. <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> thanks for your opinions.

I'm not a fan of Gravatar either, but using the premise of it being a security risk is silly.

It is what u guess. just dont want to see my avatar on all sites, i am registered at, faked or something.

It is an option :)

i cant find it. where on scirra.com can i choose to use an external site to upload an avatar without registering at gravatar?

and of course, i could use no own avatar, but it is a typical forum feature to get a symbol or picture for fast user reference. if u mean it is an option to upload an avatar, i guess you dont fully understand the sense of a discussion board.

btw the forum here on scirra is the first site in the net, where i am forced to register on another site just to upload an own pic for fast identification. sorry, but i really dont see a reason to handle this restraint for every user. maybe mail verification is inactive, but handling serious users from the outset as spammers seems strange to me.

awesome news <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

lets rock!
