Okay, so I ran this through my head a couple times and I think this is what is happening.

I am starting Timer A for Buff A and once its finished, it will set animation back to normal.

BUT if Timer B for Buff B starts before Time A ends, then in effect, it starting a second timer. Even though I am using the same Global variable, the timer will only use the value at the time I called it. NOT continually re-checking said variable.

That make sense?

What I think I need to do is; add some sort of event that registers when a new buff has been received and in turn, cancels the previous timer.

Sorry, I have no idea what you mean. I mean I kind of do. But I am not sure how to call the other event.

Paddle > On Collision with PowerUp : System Wait 5 seconds.

How would I call this? You want me to use a function basically, right?

Change your layout resolution to something close to the aspect ratio here.

My issue today is, this timer I am trying to use.

Basically, when the player receives a buff I want it to last X amount of seconds. But, when a new buff is collected, the timer doesn't seem to go back to X and start counting down again... Here is what my code looks like.

Computer speed has nothing to do with it. The server that hosts this forum is being bogged down for some reason. Or was a few days ago. Working great now.

Alright, thanks for the help.

Hey everyone!

I did several searches through the forums and the tutorials section and I can't seem to find any answers to my questions so I will ask here.

This is how I see the process, as it is. Compile my game > Uploaded it to CocoonJS > Downloaded it back to my PC (with the passkey) > Then upload it to the Play Store.

How do I update my game after all of this? Do I make a new build then repeat all of the above steps? If so, will I be given a new passkey for my app? How will the Play Store handle this?

I can't seem to find any tutorials on how to make a swiping motion with the touch commands.

Basically I want Paddle and Ball to Spawn in the center with timescale = 0.

Then user would swipe finger up to launch the ball and set timescale = 1, etc etc.

Any help? Or even a link to a tutorial on this?

Hey I just tried your APK and I am getting the same alignment issues on my Kobo Arc. Forcing the alignment does work after having been touched.

Okay, I have absolutely no idea what I am doing so I kind of threw this all together.

I created a new global and called it NewLayoutCheck = 0

On R Pressed > System > Reset Global Variables

On Layout Start set NewLayoutCheck to 1

On Brick destroy and NewLayoutCheck not equal to 0 > Spawn Powerup.

I think there may have been a simpler way of doing this but who knows. For now it works! Yaah.

Hey everyone!

So, my question today is.

When I use Keyboard on Press R > System > Restart Layout.

All of the power-ups will spawn right behind the bricks. Here is a picture of what I am talking about.

Now, on the normal start of this Layout everything works fine and those Power-ups only spawn after the blocks have been destroyed.

As the topic says... been like this for two days now. I thought it was me at first but every other page I go to works fast. Even the main scirra.com works fast. It just seems to be anything in the Forums area.
