    make games is wassaup

    yeah... just because a subscription model is becoming more common, it doesn't mean that it is the model everyone will use in the future- it just means that the new model has become more accessible to those interested in applying it. Whether it works for them and is suited for them is another matter. Markets evolve, and new products emerge to fill gaps that get left behind by others that no longer fill them. Construct appears to be changing direction in some way, shape or form- so it's a matter of time to see how that turns out and how everyone acclimates themselves to that. Hopefully it turns out for the better.

  • another option might be to copy the solid behavior files into a new behavior and modify them so that it works in the way you need it to- assuming it can be modified to work the way you need it to

  • ..there's also this page that I have bookmarked, which has a lot of useful information:

  • Sounds like you just want to deal with calculating collisions yourself. If that's the case, you could probably just search online for general info on how to do this since a lot of developers handle it themselves in other engines, programming languages, etc.

    I haven't done this sort of thing in a long while so I've forgotten a lot. I think you just need to start anywhere and keep digging into it since there is a lot of material online..

    here's what a quick search found me: http://noonat.github.io/intersect/

    If you do figure out how to do it, I'd be interested too.

    In a way, the community provides a service to scirra. We find bugs for them as well as create educational content for their product, we also create plugins and behaviors that improve their product. Can Scirra start compensating us for this service that we provide?

    I doubt scirra wants to do that, they prefer getting it for free.. hmmm..

  • My guess is that the cursor uses css to change the appearance.

    something like:

    .custom {

    cursor: url(images/my-cursor.png), auto;

    }

    And doing a search, there doesn't seem to be a way to rotate a cursor image using css, unfortunately.

  • newt , When an object that is part of a container is created in an event, all the other objects of that container get created as well. So you can immediately reference and work with the created objects. However, in this example it throws an error.

    btw.. just noticed that if you restart it, sometimes there is 1, 2, 3, or 4 arrays..!?

  • Btw, I found this bug because I discovered that objects in the container weren't being picked when the array was picked. Or it wasn't picking the correct objects associated to the array..

    So it seems like a pretty significant bug- was very frustrating trying to figure it out.

    When I tried to modify the array when one of the container objects is created, it produced an error- so maybe that will help fix the issue.

    It might only happen when it is dynamically created at runtime.. I don't think it happens when objects are setup in the layout. but I'm not sure.

  • Just ran into this issue again.. I had an event that was using 0.1% cpu, and when put in a function it became 1.5%

    That's a 1500% increase just because it was put in a function!

  • Events consist of Conditions and Actions. When the Conditions of the Event are true, the Actions will be performed.

    Events become sub-events when they are nested within other Events. All sub-events are ran before moving to the next Event.
