  • Note, that I'm not using the third variable - "pistolAmmoLeft".

  • Don't use Text Box and other Form Control objects in your games, unless you absolutely need to. They are DOM elements, and have lots of issues - it's hard to style them, they are displayed above all layers, they have problems with positioning, they may be displayed differently in different browsers, they may "steal" focus and keyboard events will not work etc.

    In your case I suggest using a simple text, or a sprite font, or maybe even a static sprite with a few frames if you don't have many tooltips in your game.

    If you want your text to remain readable when shown on different backgrounds - use Sprite Font with an outline or its own background. Here is a very useful tool:

  • Yes, an event with two condition. The first condition doesn't really matter, it was just an example. You can use some other way to check if the tip text is on the screen, or even remove this condition completely.

    By the way, are you saying are you using Text Box object just to display text? Why not use Text object?

    May not be very efficient code, but it works.

  • WackyToaster I'm comparing with the LiteTween - there when you execute a new "Start tween" action, a previous running tween is cancelled/stopped. Here it looks like two tweens "overlap". I really don't see how this can be used in a game, because it's very difficult to predict the result.

  • Nepeo Can I ask you a small question about Tween?

    I noticed that when you start a second tween (with the same tag) while the first tween is running, it doesn't "overwrite" the first one and the results are quite weird.. For example, if there are two actions like this: 

    Sprite Tween X to 100 in 3 seconds
Sprite Tween X to 500 in 2 seconds

    As a result, the sprite will move fast for about 580px in 2 seconds, and then slow down for the remaining 20px.

    Is it supposed to work like this, or is this a bug?

  • You can add an event like this: 

    ToolTipText is visible
Touch is NOT touching object -> ToolTipText set invisible (or destroy)

  • Your code makes no sense. Here is the correct sequence of events:

    1. You check if data in local storage exists (usually on start of first layout).

    2. If data exists, you load dictionary from local storage.

    3. If data is missing, you load some default variables from AJAX.

    4. On the end of each level you save the dictionary to local storage.

  • You can simply multiply all scores by 100 before submitting them.

    And then when you retrieve scores from the server to show on the leaderboard, divide them by 100.

  • dop2000 Glad you liked it, I've wanted to make this plugin for quite awhile so it's nice to hear it's appreciated. The plugin technically includes a seeded random, which is used for creating the noise. We're experimenting with integrating it with the System random expressions, which would be better than duplicating them in a different plugin. It's awkward to deprecate expressions so we didn't want to expose it on the new plugin just to remove it later.

    Nepeo In C2 I'm using this plugin for seeded random. It somehow integrates with all the system random events and expressions (random, choose, pick random instance etc). It would be great to have the same functionality in C3.

  • Check the source code, maybe there is an floor/round/ceil/trunk function somewhere.

  • Container is a good idea. Add arrow to the same container with troop sprite. When you pick a troop instance, its own arrow will be picked automatically. When arrow is not needed, make it invisible.

    If you make an event like "Arrow set position to troop", each arrow will set position to its own instance of troop, because they are in the same container, and you don't even need "for each" loop here.

    Add a bunch of instance variables to troop - for example targetX, targerY, hasRoute etc.

    If I understand correctly, only one troop can be active at a time, so instead of the instance variable isActive, it may be easier to use a global variable activeTroopUID. When a troop is tapped, set activeTroopUID=troop.UID, and then you will be able to pick this troop by its UID in any other event.

    On confirmed destination tile set targetX, targerY to tile x/y.

    On 'Skip turn' you can start moving every troop to its own target tile (targetX and targerY). I suggest MoveTo behavior, but you can use something else.
