Hi everyone,

currently pondering how I would make a player spawn only once in a layout that i want to revisit later on.

Say you'd have multiple layouts each of which you could spawn in, but being able to go over into any of them with your persistent player object, but then you'd not want to spawn another player, of course.

So OnStartOfLayout>spawn wouldn't work. Reusing one event sheet with a single onStartOfLayout would still repeat when I switch layout, right?

Would eg a menu-screen layout allow to goToLayout and do the one-time loading? I wouldnt want to keep the menu sheet active/included when on the map, so what would happen if I fired a goToLayout and a spawnAtPointOnLayout, can that work?

Is there a smarter way of one-time spawning a player?

Great project!

How much play time do think you'll get out of it? Are you generating missions or do handcraft them?

Thanks, dop2000

The issue I assume being with the removal of the signals? I would assumes it's not gone immediately after being reacted to? Does it persist for longer than one cycle?

Would love to know more if you have ...

Hi everyone,

2 questions on signals:

Are signals global or will a signal given under some picked instances only be available to those instances?

And can I reuse a signal? I feel like my object reacts fine to the signal the first time but very unreliably after that.

are you assigning it a target?

not sure what you're trying to do, but perhaps the 9-patch object is something you might want to look into?

Magistross oh, wow. I'm dizzy just looking at that. thanks!

I'll need a minute to comprehend what you're even doing there, all that nesting!

Hi everyone,

I have two strings, e.g. A = "apples,banana,orange" and B = "love,ignore,hate"

I want to ask which number the word "banana" is in A and fetch that substring from B (here: "ignore")

"Find" seems to give me the number of letters at which my substring begins, whereas "tokenAt" would let me fetch the entire substring, if I had its number.

Can someone help out with the correct expression?

Gotcha, thanks for elaborating.

I like that approach.

Funny to think how much easier all this could be if C2 had simple editable arrays.

And that's the thing, I do have multiple enemy types, all sharing a family, each with a container holding different sets of objects per enemy type.

I was considering dictionaries, but if i want a centralised way of exchanging the enemy configurations - not a massive switch statement with each variable of each type listed - I'll end up in the same situation, wanting to map dynamical references to enemy variables. Plus I'd have to maintain each enemy type's dictionary individually, to eg keep them in identical.

thanks for talking through this with me though, appreciate the input!
