Thanks for the tip, I'll try that. Honestly I may like that more anyway, as I want to play with the event data a bit and if I can do that outside of C2 then even better. Don't get me wrong, I like C2 - but sometimes I just wish you could break out into code!

Correction: the above does not fix the issue, it just causes the event to only fire once. If i can get an example together with a public server I'll toss it up here

I'm not using "on any event" - I'm using "on event recieved" with a named event, i.e. "playerUpdate". When the playerUpdate event is fired from the server, C2 reacts with its event over and over again vs. firing once per event.

I seem to be able to get around this if I set up my C2 events as:

• -> Socket| on "playerUpdate" recieved || Socket|Split Data Received
  • -> Socket| Is Data Available? || (do my actions here)

...but this seems to be quite a few extra steps. Why can't I just call my events directly after "on "whatever" recieved?

question about this plugin: when i use the "on event recieved" event, which ever action I have used it for gets spammed. For example, if my servers sends event "newPlayer", and in my game code I tell it to create a new sprite, it creates a new sprite every tick even though the event is only fired on the server once. I'm using the latest beta C2.

Would it be possible to add a "fill path with gradient" command to this plugin?

Hate to revive an old thread, but as I was looking to do the same thing this may help others:

I found simple way to do this based on the discussion in this thread:

scirra.com/forum/black-hole-physics_topic41431.html

I simply added a click event on my "bomb", with an "apply impulse towards position" action on my crates using this formula:

Impulse: -bombForce/distance(bomb.X,bomb.Y,crate.X,crate.y)^2
X: bomb.X
Y: bomb.Y
Image point: 0

ok, so i may have accidentally fixed it... i resized all the wall sprites to 32x32 (the astar cedll size is set to 16) and made sure they all overlapped... this actually fixes the walking through walls part, but i still get the error at the end

I'm having trouble with this plugin :( could someone take a look at this capx and tell me why my enemy is walking through walls? It works in another file, but for some reason it won't work here...

mouse = flashlight

arrow keys = player movement

when you get into the red guy's field of vision he will chase you... right through walls. Also, when he DOES reach the player, there's an error :(

I'd appreciate any help you may be able to provide, I'm loving Construct 2!
