  hat's the principle for the selection of instances using events?

  Go to the wiki to understand how picking instances works: sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/construct/index.php

  Is it possible to add the ability to turn v-sync on or off during runtime?

  I'd like players to have the option between screen tearing or input delay.

  Are you able to isolate which plugin? Input system or spritefont? Or is it both?

  tulamide, I don't understand why you did what you did when you set the 'angle' variable to:

  ".Angle < 'cone' / 2 ? .Angle + 360 : .Angle"

  Isn't ".Angle + 360" and ".Angle" the same angle anyway?

  Is there an easy way to make my own Line of sight thing then? (doesn't seem to work well with angled objects, especially isometric tiles)

  Thanks, that works well. Pity you have to use "for each" though, with hundreds of tiles it slows it down a bit.

  How do you get line of sight to work? I'm trying to change the colour of a tile when it's in sight, but it seems to randomly change the colour of every single tile (regardless of whether it's in sight or not).

  My code:

  1. For an object's properties, under the common tab at the top you'll see a checkbox which says "global" this will allow you to access the object more easily in other layouts.

  2. Not sure what you mean. If you mean moving an object to a different layout, I don't think you can. You'd have to create it in other layout. If you want to save/load data, the Hashtable is probably the best object do that.

  Why is there no way to switch? Is it impossible to implement?

  Don't think your link works very well.
