Hey, I have a map where you can manually check different locations after you visited them, locations are represented by sprites that lie over the map itself. If you click that sprite the color changes from white to black. Is it possible to create one sprite and all events needed and then clone that sprite to use it for the next location without creating all the events again? Or is there an easier way?

Allright, thanks. Sorry again for hijacking this thread. Back to topic now.

Ah, I see. There is ceil, floor and round. And how do you round to, let's say, 2 decimal places?

Sorry that I hijack this topic, but when I read the reply a question came to my mind: Does Random always return an integer? If yes, what if I need a decimal?

Maybe I don't understand you right, but there is no animation for the swing. It's just a cone that appears for 0.1 seconds and then fades away. The cone must be the exact size and angle of the cone of view. If you have an easier solution with less lines of code feel free to tell it to me.

Found another way to do this but I am still curious how other people would realize this.

This is how I did it: I created a white sprite 1 px high and I have one variable for the los range and one for the cone of view. When the player hits an enemy I start a for loop with that counts a variable up by 1 until it matches the cone of view. This for loop creates one of my sprites at the players position and with the angle set to Player.Angle+(coneOfView/2)-count. This creates sprites in the exact angle of the cone of view. I set its length to los range and this creates a cone that matches exactly my cone of view and range of sight. The sprite has the fade behavior set to 0.1 so it just flashes and quickly fades away. Maybe I have to make it higher then 1px for greater angles to minimize the gaps between the created sprites but it should work.

There is no swing_north animation. It is only one animation that rotated with the character. What I did now is spawning it with the animation sprite at the image point and setting it's angle to the movement sprites angle. Only one additional line and it works. Thanks anyway.

Spawning it with the animation and pinning it to the movement? Wouldn't it still always face east as long as the player doesn't turn?

Tried that and it works for the los part but I'm running in other problems now. Every time the player character hits an enemy I want to spawn a sprite that displays the swing of his sword. I created image points for the 4 animations (walking north, east, south and west) and spawn the swing at these image points and pin them to the character animation sprite. The problem is now that the animation sprite isn't rotating and thus the swing always faces east no matter in which direction the player is actually walking. If I spawn the swing sprite at the movement sprite it has the correct direction but it always spawns in the center of my character because there are no image points an the movement sprite. I can create 4 fake animations with a single sprite and set image points but then I have to do it blindly because I can't see my animation in the movement sprite of course.

Only thing that comes to my mind is rotating the swing depending on the direction the character is facing. Is there a better way to spawn my swing sprite?

The swing is no animation. It's just a Sprite pinned to the player with 0 opacity that appears when the player swings and fades out. That is not the problem. The problem is that I want my square Sprite with straight lines to cover exactly the area where the player hits. In Photoshop you can do this with transform -> warp (not really exact though because you can't just set an angle). Imagine a square Sprite with some white and transparent lines and after the transformation it should look like the wifi symbol.

I have a character that swings a sword when an enemy is in his range (2D, Top Down). I realize this with the line of sight behavior. Now I want to visualize that swing. I could create a sprite with the exact angle and length as the line of sight but both can change and I want to avoid creating sprites for every possible combination. I think I read somewhere that you can transform sprites so my idea was to create a sprite with straight lines and then set the height of the sprite to the range of the line of sight and then bend it around a point at the middle of the bottom to make the lines circular depending on the cone of view. Is this possible? If yes, how? If no, what would be the best solution to visualize the swing of the sword?
