LOL!! yeap! that's exactly what I'm looking for.. but i don't quite get the calculations? Do you understand it?

x = Self.X>960?960:(Self.X<0?0:Self.X)

y = Self.Y>519?519:(Self.Y<0?0:Self.Y)

thx!

i know you solved it, but here is my solution, not even sure if this is what you wanted :D

touch Controler

but if your title is corect, in order to turn the angle towards a object position when you click it, just give it a target XY and use the sprites functionality "turn angle towards position" and it will rotate towards that object.

Hello George! I tried your project.. It does work like i wanted... I'm studying your method, because I do not know this function.. Thanks!! always learning! ;)

Hello, I'm trying to create a magnifier effect with a mask and can't figure out how to do it.

my BG is a still image. On top another layer with my "magnified animation" now I want to create round mask so we don't see all 800x400 size animation, but rather the shape of a magnifier.

No matter how I put it, the layer underneath gets affected, which I don't want.

And it doesn't matter if I put "use own texture" . My mask is the top-most layer on the.. layer ;)

So technically I just want the mask to operate on my layer and not all the layers.

And is it normal that I don't see the result unless I run the project?

thx!

Marc.

Set angle to clamp(lowerbound,angle(self.x,self.y,target.x,target.y),upperbound)

IIRC, angle() returns a value between -180 and 180 with 0 facing right, so take that into account when setting your lower and upper bounds.

Thanks!!! will try that as well.

F-O-U-N-D I-T!!!

Hello. I am trying to make an object "on drag" rotate from it's pivot point. So how I went about it so far is...

1. I created my "draggable" object and gave it a clamp value of 100,300 on the vertical axis. that works fine. But when I drag this object, I want another object to rotate according to the drag value a certain amount of degrees. (ex: between 20d and 360d).

Is there a way to "map" a range from an object to another object. EX: range 100,300 to angle 20, 360?

If not, then I have to find where in the range of my dragged object I'm at, convert it to a percentage, then do the same math on my rotating object, correct?

Thx!

Marc.

Haa!! nice! thank you! I'll try that right away!

thank you!!

Marc.

hi, so you want a picture inside a picture like a CTV monitor showing camera footage from another part of the layout?

you could do that by events, using a minimap like format, i think i had a Tank demo with a minimap around the tutorial area... for C2... il see if i can find it... meanwhile there is this youtube video doing the same thing

Edited: on the other hand, i think you could make it happen with Canvas... basically pasting inside a small area a layout position xY with the items inside ... might be cpu intensive... but is basically how the above examples work i think.

It is similar to this indeed, but I want a "Zoommed in" view, like if I had a magnifying glass over the portion of the Canvas that I wanted to view.

I thought I could create a drawing area, then take a snapshot of the whole canvas and pasting it onto the drawing canvas, but it's not working.

Hello!, I am trying to find the right way to make an object rotate clockwise or counter-clockwise for lets say 1 second.

Basically I have a dial, and when I move the mouse over object 1, the needle rotates 80 degrees clockwise.

If I move the mouse over Object 2, then the needle rotates 40 degrees clockwise.

I know I have to use lerp to do this, but putting >lerp(0,80,1*dt) does nothing.

thx!

Marc.

Thanks George, very nice result (yes indeed it's what I was looking for) ... I got it to work with InDRekt's solution.

I will study yours, because I'm not too good with sin and cos (Physics weren't mandatory at school LOL) so i missed on some essential game physics.

cheers!

Marc.

Very cool!!! thank you so much!

cheers!

Marc.

Yeap, like you said, it's a working solution, but not the best, especially that I need the collision boxes to expand and retract.

Thx! for the reply.
