That autobackup to dropbox would be great. What would be excellent if we could choose to delete previous backups after a certain amount, and also choose the frequency of backups...

Any way to do this? I am doing my scrolling manually, and I miss this cool feature.

Oh, shoot, R0J0hound's won't work for me, I want to specify a position for the object to lerp to, not just make it appear there :(

Suppose I'll just use Yann's.

oh, R0J0hound, I missed that in Newt's example.

All right then, I'll go with yours, especially as it seems to allow an arbitrary width for the second object.

Many thanks all.

OK, thanks, —

The only problem is, the object within the rectangle has an altering width for me, and I suspect that this is what is stuffing it up.

What can I do if I want to consider the second object as a point entity?

That looks great! although why do you use numbers 4 and 16 instead of expressions of the size of the box? Basically to adapt this for my own purposes, I need to know how to adjust these constants.

Well it has worked perfectly for me in the past. Also, it is in the same wrong relative position regardless of the layer rotation.

Humm, it's working, however at an entirely different point on the map.

Probably my fault, not Yann's ;)

I do rotate layers, but I doubt that really makes much difference.

Hmm, newt, that doesn't seem to work...

— this is what I normally do. The trick lies in the fact that the rectangle can be at any angle.

Hello, I have a math question for you ;)

I have a rectangle within an object (so that the width/height of the rectangle are defined by object.width * k, object. width * k where k < 1)

I want to be able to pick a random position within the rectangle.

However, the object could be at any angle.

(the origin of the object is the centre point of the rectangle.)
