Talking about exporters is a waste of time, C2 exports HTML5, and it does it well - wrappers are the order of the day when it comes to cross platform support, and Scirra doesn't make wrappers, so it's a null point.

Asking to have more open ended behaviours, or an "unlocked" mode for non-beginners is more reasonable.

Could we get an official explanation as to why this is the case? Is it simply an outlier based on scalability? Optimising is already hard enough without being forced to consider methods that seem illogical - it hurts my poor non-programmer brain

newt - I think that is what is kindof being hinted at. You can't make one behavior fit every need. There are a few platformer behaviors in unity that, rather than being one behavior they are a multitude of behaviors. You add a single manager behavior that coordinates the sub behaviors. Things like wall run, and jump, can then be added. Duck, slide, roll, jump, climb ladder, drop through, get surface angle, run, and so on are then added to the object. Each has its own parameters and what not.

This is what's being proposed with modularity - which I'm excited for, but a bit worried that it seems to not be a launch feature of C3.

[quote:2yss6zza]If there is a parameter in the plugin/behavior you can change then you should be able to do the same in events.
This. 100% this.

The biggest culprit for me was the fade behaviour, which has thankfully been fixed, but the point remains, if there's a number, I want to change it on the fly.

The touch function has a similar "defect" where a touch input will persist over layouts for fractions of a second - triggering buttons on different layouts that have the same position.

It's easily fixed with a fraction of a second wait before calling go to layout or using on touch end.

The key to successful graphic design is consistency. Games look bad when they're a mismatch of different art styles, and pixel art offers a simple, easy to follow methodology.

You can invert the condition for an event by right clicking it and selecting invert.

Fantastic work! One suggestion - make the outline weight of your font match that of your graphics.

Set your bullet angle to

player.angle+random(-15,15)

Tweak the numbers for desired effect.

I would use a boolean variable and the toggle function.

You could create something that looks like a browser, off the top of my head dynamic page lengths would be tricky.

The real question is why? It'd just be some UI and an iframe.
