I'm on r73. Where do I find that option? is there a duplicate layer option?

cool, thanks for the heads up!

I'm looking to duplicate a layer and then add or remove objects or whatnot from it, is this possible?

Worked like a charm. You rock!! Thanks!

Can anyone tell me what the config bar is? I plan to buy the software regardless, I'm just wondering if the config bar is something I need now.

thanks in advance!!

I want to set up a game that uses the same set background, but has multiple layers. At the start of the game, I would like the system to randomly select one of the layers, and disable all the others. Is this possible?

The "randomLayer = 3" and "randomLayer = 4" should be subevents from "on start of layout", not subevents of "randomLayer = 2".

(all the tests on the same level, as subevents of "On start of layout")

Thanks for your help,

I made the changes, however I still cant seem to get the game to randomly select the layouts

Here's an updated screenshot

oops here's the link to the screen shot

Indeed, you can't directly type a layout name, you have to choose it from the dropdown.

Then do a little workaround.

Randomize a number and test it.

Global variable rd as number (= 0 default)
System->Start of layout - Action System-Global & local Variable - Set value
Variable: rd - Value: round(random(your_number_of_layouts)+1) (round() will give an integer) (+1 to prevent obtaining 0 as result of the random())
..SubEvent System-Compare Variable
..Variable: rd - = Equal to - Value:1
...Action: System - Go to Layout, pick your layout 1

..SubEvent System-Compare Variable
..Variable: rd - = Equal to - Value:2
...Action: System - Go to Layout, pick your layout 2

etc...

Did I follow orrectly, here's a screen shot

Go to layout random(number of layouts)

if index is 0 otherwise you know what to do

e

I don't know where to find this. When I go to system -> go to layout, I just get a pulldown menu that show my layouts, and then I am only able to select one.

I guess that was what my problem is, I don't see where to make a new layout. I went to file,new, but it just opened a new project and the system events only shows layout 1

Hello,

I have another few questions I've had trouble finding the answer to:

1) How do I copy and paste a layout and event sheet?

2) Is it possible to have the system randomly select the next layout?

I would like to have it randomly pick the very first layout, and then have it randomly select the next layout is this possible, if so how do I go about it?

Thanks again,

Dave
