  • When using the text editor for a TEXT object on a layout, how do I insert a newline or carriage return? I can do it in code but I can't find a way to do it in the text editor. There seems to be no BBcode for newline.

  • I would like to put a version number on the opening screen of my project. I would like it to increment automatically every time I save my project.

    How can I do this?

    Thanks, Jim

  • I have tried using Reset Persisted Objects to set objects back to their original state but I'm not getting the results I expected.

    Am I right in thinking that for objects with the persist behaviour, all object properties and instance variables will be reset to their initial values?

    Thanks, Jim

  • Jim Smith This is correct. All iterations in the loop are executed immediately in one tick. However, actions after "Wait" are scheduled to run later. So if you put "Wait 1 second", all 20 iterations will run after 1 second, but if you put "Wait 0.5*loopindex", they will run with 0.5s intervals.

    I think I understand that better now. Thanks.

  • Thanks fredriksthlm. That works just fine..

    I am still a bit baffled though. It's like all of the iterations of the loop run virtually simultaneously, in parallel.

  • Thanks YME. I will consider that.

  • This code simply plays all of the sounds simultaneously.

  • I want to loop through 10-20 actions with a small delay between each iteration. I don't want any of the rest of my events to execute while this loop is looping.

    I read that the "Wait" action will not work in a loop. What's the alternative?

    Thanks, Jim

  • I see it. Thanks.

    Is there a way of getting to the same list if I'm not looking at one of my posts already?

    Thanks, JIm

  • I know what it is! Chrome is warning me that a website is going to edit a local file on my PC. I don't think it can be turned off even for specific sites.

  • How can I see a list of all the forum topics I have started?

  • Does anybody know why I get this message when opening a local project file in C3? I'm using a Windows10 PC. C3 is running in Chrome.

    Thanks, Jim
