Ah clever, yes that will work. Thanks!

Hi

Does anyone know if there is an expression or simple way to round an angle to the nearest 90 degrees?

Thanks

How did I not figure that out?

Thank you so much

Hi

This feels like it should be really easy but it's got me stumped. I simply want to get the current animation name of one sprite and assign it to another.

With frames it would be set animation frame to Sprite.AnimationFrame.

What would be the equivalent of doing this for the animation name?

Thanks!!!

That totally worked - thanks

Aphrodite - thanks, yes that looks like it could work. I'll give that a go.

Yes - relative to it if it moves.

Just to be super clear, I want to calculate the co-ordinates of the orange square.

I know:

• Green square co-ordinates
• Angle (potentially any value between 0 and 180 (+ or -)
• Distance

Thanks!

Hi

This seems like it shouldn't be that hard but I feel like I've hit a wall. Any help would be gratefully received.

I want to position sprite01 relative to sprite02

Sprite01 has two local variables: angle, and distance.

I want to position sprite02 relative to sprite 01 according to the angle and distance stored in the local variables of sprite 01

Should I be using trigonometry here or am I missing something really obvious?!

Thanks

Yann - Thank you so much for this. I'm genuinely blown away that someone would go to all this effort to help out <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

It definitely works exactly as required and more importantly it's given me something tangible to start playing around with. If I can do anything else clever with it then I'll definitely share.

Thanks again for your help - this forum rocks <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

sqiddster - Thanks also. Yes this is a definite risk. I have decided to change the design slightly so I don't need full object overlaps for this very reason. I'm going to use several 'sub-objects' instead which will achieve the same effect.

Cheers

Thanks KaMiZoTo - that's a brilliant idea. I think I can integrate that idea into the design so that it achieves the same outcome that I'm looking for.
