Thanks for doing this and Magistross your example was great.

I have a slight addition to add to this. in my case i want to be able to click one of those boxes and idenify it. since it's the same "object" all of the boxes are the same box with different colors..

my goal would be to say have it where it tells me to pick the color from the same pool of colors.. so if it said click the red one, how would i know i'm clicking the red one or if i clicked the wrong one? it doesn't seem like the frame of animation (what determines the color) would be an identifiable parameter.. my other thought was maybe having an instance variable that would grab the random number, but this loop is happening so fast i'm not sure if it would work like that. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Caleb

Ok I do see now that a local number is a global number that gets drug down into sub areas.. but still to the question how important is this vs keeping it global? its it just a thing to help keep things compartmentalized? Perhaps to avoid the variable to show up everywhere else in the game event sheets and such?

Hi there,

I've come across this twice in recent exploration in the use of arrays (still don't get it fully for what I need but I feel optimistic). https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/307/ar ... ers/page-1 is a big help.

However, in some of the examples i've seen, I see "local number" variables appear in event sheets and I don't get either how they are made or how they matter.

I know global variables and i know about instance variables. How do I create a local number and what is it that makes the special or necessary?

Thanks,

Caleb

basically you need to look at the C2 manual / SDK section which will explain how to make a C2 plugin. Overall I think this is pretty easy to do, but it does take some experience with javascript and probably a good understanding of how the third party sdk works.

As it stands though i don't think any of those services are available for C2 right now. I have reached out to Cranberry to maker of his excellent collection of plugins to help me with Appsflyer and Mixpanel, but we're also looking to explore making these ourselves as well if no one else can do it.

yea it would be nice. I know personally I'd like to find a single / simple solution for this that allows people to do the following things:
- post their score to a global high score database without any authentication/account creation/sign in stuff..
- get a top 10 list of overall scores
- get your rank for that session (you got 88th place out of x scores) or (you got 88th of the top 100 scores / your score was below the top x number of scores)
for us, we're looking to use parse for leaderboards potentially, but if someone else could come up with an easy to setup / use plugin with a free/reasonably priced service, i'd gladly go with that solution instead.

ashesh if you get the plugin, look in there for the readme. Cranberry plugins are good about offering examples and a basic explanation. Try it out and see how far you get. I'm not sure if it's one of the free ones or if it's a paid plugin (he has some free and some paid). I paid the $25 to get the full suite of plugins and would advise anyone else do the same to support the awesome work he's done.

Somebody hmm interesting suggestion. thanks! Silly that this is what it would take to get this effect though, but good way of thinking outside the box

Hi there,

I was doing some forum searching and saw some conversation about this, but I want to be clear. I'm not so much talking about random rotation as in animated, but simply being able to spawn particles themselves at any random position 1-360.

Is this possible somehow? I can imagine how having rotating sprites all actually turning as they go up to be cpu intensive, but it seems like simply positioning the sprite at the moment of creation to be random would not be a problem and it would make a huge difference in terms of particle quality.. a smoke effect with a single sprite each appearing at the same angle is noticeable.

Thanks,

Caleb

QuaziGNRLnose yes the capx was modified with touch so i could test in mobile since all examples use mouse for interaction. that was all i did to it. https://www.dropbox.com/s/cg5yk5ios9d4z ... .capx?dl=0
I'm glad this is consistent to everyone else. I'm not sure what I could have changed to cause the ground to not load unless somehow the touch object doesn't but now everyone has the capx to see for themselves.
