The problem is that the parameters passed to the function used with "Wait for signal" and "Signal" ain't stored. So the when you call the function the first "Longtext" reads the parameter (1) then it waits for a signal, but as it does this the parameters for some reason is "cleared". If you replace the "Set text to function.Param(2)" with for instant "Set text to "test text 2"" then it will work.

It seems that it might be a bug as im not sure its suppose to work like that, so you can take your chances and make a bug report, but personally if I were you, I would just start creating a workaround for what you are trying to do, because it will most likely not be the last, so you might as well get used to it

As far as I know it have always been like that in C2 and from what I recall have been wanted by users for a very long time. So I wouldn't count of it getting into C2, maybe C3.

The best thing to do, I think, is to "think before doing" not meant in a negative way, but when you plan a project and you for instant think its time to add enemies. Then the first thing you do is to think project organisation, so you create the folder structure you need, then you create the enemy objects and what you need for them to work (sprites, text etc) and then when you think you are done with them, you drag them to enemy folder. And then you can start with the next thing. If you need to add a lot of the same type of objects, for instant sprites, then you drag the first sprite to the folder and clone it rather than add them through the menu, then it will automatically be added to the folder.

General

Get layer background color - Possible to get the RGB values of a layer"

In general it would be nice if all things in C2 was made in a way, that if you can set a value then you can also get it.

The original video was way to big to upload, so I did something brave and against all odds and tested it with a completely different video file and can hardly believe it my self, but I managed to reproduce it!!!

Anyway, the video file is a gift to you, so whenever someone report a problem that require you to use a video file, you are very welcome to use that one for testing purposes, that way you always have one when you need one for testing.

[quote:10vzg4v4]Problem Description

If a video is playing and you destroy it, it will keep playing the sound in the background. Also if you delete the file from the disk it will not be deleted, until you close down the application or the video reaches the end.

[quote:10vzg4v4]Closing, please make sure your bug reports are reproducible (this means including the video file you used - I cannot reproduce what you are doing without it)

Update:

Resetting the dialogs in C2 under preferences seems to have solved it. However will leave the bug report as it might be worth having a look at.

Problem Description

C2 Action and event window bugged after changing windows screen resolution. These are the only menus that are affected all others seems fine. However not sure how to solve it, as I have tried to reinstall C2, reinstall graphic drivers and restart the computer. But the problem is still there and happens in all projects, whether they are completely new and empty or not.

See screenshots:

Happens to all projects, so the attached Capx is just completely empty.

Description of Capx

Nothing, its the C2 add event and add action menu.

Steps to Reproduce Bug

Changed screen size in windows and changed it back to what it was original. Open the action window in C2 and it was messed up.

Observed Result

Buttons and text are out of place and the buttons (Next, Back and Cancel) doesn't react when pressed, its still possible to double click the System icon.

Expected Result

That the C2 UI was working correctly.

The bug seems to be related to WebGL. I have tried tot turn that option on/off on my laptop.

Also reported a problem regarding weird behaviour with WebGL here: https://www.scirra.com/forum/203-textbox-bug_t129744 even though its of a different kind, it is also related to WebGL, seems like there is something wrong with it. But anyway, it was also closed without being solved.

nimos From what I've read the library doesn't handle large files very well due to memory implications. I'd suggest using multiple archives as a possible work around for now. When you're adding new files it can bog, since everything synchronous. If it hangs for you, maybe you could wait a tick or two after adding each file.

That's a shame, the problem is not really the amount of archives, because even if I add only 1 large file (60+ mb not sure what the limit is) it will end up closing the program, I have already tried to give it time to archive the file, but doesn't make any difference.

As mentioned earlier I don't know before hand the file sizes or amount of files needed to be archived as these are added by the one using the program, so files can be anything from a few KB to GB. So its more or less a "Do or die" situation, if it can't handle all file sizes, it of course will cause the program to crash at some point and therefore not a valid solution.

But ill keep an eye on it, as I think its a really cool plugin you have made and hopefully someone will fix the library so it can handle large files.

I seem to have encountered another problem.

Everything seemed to worked fine, I was adding a lot of small files to the archive, but when I tried adding some larger files (60 mb and 180 mb) it seems to stall and eventually the program closes without any error message or anything.

Since the amount of files I need to add to the archive is unknown and of unknown sizes when Its created, I use lists to hold the different path to the files that it needs to add and when a file have been added I remove it from the list, which works fine with small files, but with the big files it doesn't.

Was wondering if you have experience this problem or know how to solve it as im not sure what to do, when the program just closes and works fine with the small files?

Is there a way to make the archive wait adding new files until the current one is completed? Or test whether a file was successful added, there is the action called "Archive has file", but guess that is only useful if I have actually saved the archive to the disk, but it closes before I can invoke download?

You have the option to check whether a Cell is an obstacle or not using the path finding. So you could use that for checking.

You also have the option to regenerate obstacle map around certain objects, might be useful as well.

The cell size is based on the settings in the path finding. So if cell size is set to 30 each cell will be 30x30 pixel so you could use this information to make a functionality to check cells around the object.

You can do that with the distance function

//Check for nearby enemies
Turret_A.In_combat = False                                             (Only Turret_A's that are not in combat)
For each Turret_A
    Distance(Turret_A.X, Turret_A.Y, Turret_E.X, Turret_E.Y) <= 500
               Turret_A.Go_to_Turret_B = False                     (Variable to make sure that turret don't go towards B)
               Turret_A.Attack_Turret_E = Turret_E.UID       (Store the UID of Turret_E that A is attacking) 
               Turret_A find path to (Turret_E.X, Turret_E.Y)

(If Turrent_E is stationary you don't have to keep finding a path to it, so you could add a variable to make sure of that.)

//Move Turret_A
On path found Turret_A          
                Turret_A.Move along path

//Turret A is attacking Turret_E
Turret_A.Attack_Turret_E != -1                                             (Only pick A's that have a target)
For each Turret_A
       Turret_E.UID = Turret_A.Attack_Turret_E                     (Pick correct Turret_E)
       Distance(Turret_A.X, Turret_A.Y, Turret_E.X, Turret_E.Y) <= Firing_range
       Turret_A.stop
       Turret_A.In_combat = true                                      (Makes sure that Turret_A wont keep looking for path to E or B) 

//When Turret A destroys E
Turret_E.Destroyed
      Turret_A.Attack_Turret_E  = Turret_E.UID              (Select all Turret_A that have the destroyed E as target)
      For each Turret_A       
           Set Turret_A.Attack_Turret_E = -1                       (Reset so there are no target selected)
           Turret_A.In_combat = False
      
//Return to going to B
Turret_A.In_Combat = False
Turret_A.Go_to_B = False
For each Turret_A
       Turret_A Find path to (Turret_B.X, Turret_B.Y)
       Turret_A.Go_to_B = True                                         (Make sure that it doesn't keep looking for a path)

Minor adjustments might be needed, but I think it would work.
