Well LittleStain maybe it's a bug that got fixed, I'm still runing build 200. I'm waiting on the next stable release to update....

Well, after a lot of tweaking to your latest suggestion LittleStain I finally got it to work!! Thank you!!

And I olso realized what the problem was. It seems C2 is an idiot, what did you do Ashley , get him drunk? No, but seriously, it seems C2 does not know what = means....

It doesn't matter what value I get C2 to check on in the third event 4, 3, 2, 1(YESS even 1 which we actually previously set it to in event nr.2!!!...) as long as I use =(equal to) C2 doesn't figure it out. However if I use >(greater than) well then it works....

Extremely stupid in my opinion(guess now I have to go over all of my games and see if I used = anywhere else...) but at least I'm glad I got it to work. Thanks again Stain.

And don't worry MadSpy , like Stain said, we're all here to learn. I don't think anyone here knows C2 inside out and 100% never needs any help.

If I really have to I'll try your way too MadSpy , but I want to stay away from everytick events as much as possible, so I'd like to try a little harder to make Stain's idea work.

I guess you're still not awake LittleStain , like I said in the post above I already figured that part out and changed the timer to an object that never gets destroyed and is always present. I olso added the screen shake effect, here's how it looks now.

Could you please redo the events in your C2 and show me where and what you would modify? As I'm not sure where to make the changes you suggested.

Sadly no LittleStain , it doesn't work. I even made some modifications to make it more stable(at least that was their purpose) like changing the timer from the marbles(which get destroyed) to another object that is always there.

Regardless the game over object never gets created... it's like the timer never completes....

Any other ideas please? Anyone?

Ok LittleStain here is what I did following your suggestion. Does this look right to you? The event that says "Create object game over" is gonna be replaced by the actual shake, which I haven't created the events for yet, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. I'm thinking of putting those events in a function and then just replacing the "Create object game over" event to call on that function.

Well that's why I said to play around with it, check the manual, etc., it's not a simple as just adding a plugin and you're done.

For example if you use the one I did, in intelxdk at the plugins dropdown menu you have to click on "Get plugin from the web" and then fill with the following:

Name: AdMob Plugin

Plugin ID: com.cranberrygame.phonegap.plugin.ad.admob

Check the 'Plugin is located in the Apache Cordova Plugins Registry' box

P.S. And I think there was something else that even I'm forgetting.... rats.

Yes, I got it to work just fine using the default Admob Ads plugin that C2 comes with. Check the manual, play around with it and see if you can make it work. If not send me a pm and I'll try to remember all the steps/rules that you have to follow to make it work.

P.S. And yes guys, I know the default plugin is made by cranberrygame, and I olso know that he has a more recent/updated version of that plugin. But since the default one worked just fine for me, I didn't see a reason to bother with the other one.

Hello World,

So let's say I have a shake screen effect, and some "balls" for the player to destroy, and a "bullet" with which the player destroys them.(if anyone is curious how I plan to do the screen shake let me know)

How do I tell C2 that I want the shake screen to be triggered only if the player destroys lets say 4 balls in lets say the same second? Or 6 balls in 1.5 seconds, or 9 in 2 seconds, or 5 in 1 second, etc.?

Thank you.

You should still use instance variables with those objects, UID's are not very reliable from what I understand.

Tried this today and here is what I get. Help please?

Yeah, I've read that post a while ago newt , unfortunately if I remember correctly what you are suggesting would require me to have my own server to host those images on. Which is not a possibility for me at the moment.

Anyway, thanks for trying to help guys. Guess I'll just try to compress them as much as I can, maybe resize them a bit more, have way less diversity then I originally wanted and that's that...

I'll keep my fingers crossed for C3 to have that option.... Ashley

Colludium , ryanrybot I'm afraid you're both missing the point.

The first one that I tried which was .png to begin with droped over 500kb in size after compressing it with tinypng, putting it in the project and saving the project(not exporting).

The tinypng compressing on the png file helped reduce the size after C2 was done with it and there was absolutely no loss of quality(to the naked eye at least)!

So the point is that after all that I can export it normally(as png-32), get a reduced file size, AND the entire process will be loseless!

If I try it your way, to not care about the size before exporting, and then exporting as png-8 I can clearly see a drop in image quality.....

So, is there any way to make that process work with jpg files too so I can keep the loseless process going?

P.S. To whom it may concern: If it's too late for C2, then I at least really hope we see in C3 a nice and easy way of using the expansion files that google now provides....
