  • You can try changing the Orientation preference value to "sensorLandscape" or "sensor".

    But there is no guarantee that this will work.

  • brunopalermo

    Actually "Between angles 0 and 45" will include 0-44.999999999

    This is likely to allow creating several consecutive conditions:

    If Between angles 0 and 45 -> do something

    If Between angles 45 and 90 -> do something else

    So I think this is not a bug, but rather a poorly documented feature.

  • — See, it's probably because you are a native English speaker and I'm not

  • —, I personally think that all "between" conditions should always include both bounds.

    For example, in all SQL dialects (MS SQL, MYSQL, PL/SQL) the BETWEEN operator is inclusive.

  • Try this plugin for getting system date and time:

  • —

    Try creating "System->Is between values" event in C2.

    You'll see that it's inclusive of lower an upper bounds:

    lowbound <= num <=highbound

    I'm a bit late to the party, but I agree with Bruno and others.

    OP's attitude is terrible and the project is a complete mess. You can tell by simply looking at the file he posted - project is buried inside multiple sub-folders (\VARIABE_CLEANING\_NEWONE_USETHIS\windows splice in - Copy (10)) and includes a 4.5Mb backup file!

    And instead of creating a small capx to demonstrate the problem, he demanded Ashley to look for a potential bug in that pile of garbage?!

  • Not sure how Pin+ can help with setting the right angle.

    You can define another image point in your animation frames for weapon direction.

    See this picture:

    Red image point is where you position the gun.

    Blue image point is for setting the angle of the gun.

  • Create a Trail sprite with the same picture as your main character. Add Fade behavior with about 0.2s fade out time and set "Destroy after fade out=Yes" .

    When your main character sprite is flying, spawn that Trail sprite approximately every 0.05 seconds at character position, set random angle.

  • Thanks for the advice, I just found an easy solution.

    I can get "squished" position of each image point using this formula:

    squishedX = Sprite.x + (Sprite.ImagePointX(1)-Sprite.x)*squishFactor

    squishedY = Sprite.ImagePointY(1)

    It always helps to try to explain the problem to someone

  • No, I need a smooth tweened rotation. I actually only care about the movement of image points, the sprite itself is invisible

  • The picture explains it all:

    I have a round sprite (clock) that I need to rotate and display slightly squished, but only vertically.

    Is there an easy way to do it?

    I can't use Paster or similar plugin because I have lots of image points defined on the clock and I need to be able to read their coordinates.

  • You can keep your score hashed at all times. Check if the hash is correct before adding points or submitting the score.

    Or keep track of the score in 2 different variables - one in clear form and another in some encrypted/obscure format. (Multiplied by 3.14, converted to text, written backwards etc.)

    Display the clear variable in your game and don't check its integrity, allow the hacker to change it. But when it's time to submit the highscore, de-crypt the other variable and upload it.

    Unfortunately, there is no 100% protection from an experienced and determined hacker, all these tricks will only make his job a little bit harder.

    Try setting the first parameter to 1.

    DETAIL=1

    THICKNESS=doesn't matter

    NUMBER OF BOLTS=10

    DISPLACEMENT=400

  • I don't have any experience with cocoon.io, does it allow you to make changes to the AndroidManifest.xml?

    You can define available screen orientations in that file.

  • So you want the AI car to respawn after few seconds at the point where it died?

    There are a few ways to do it. I think it's better to disable the car and make it invisible, then re-enable it.

    Here is the updated CAPX:

    I fixed a few other things, like "Every tick->Wait 6 seconds", they were just too painful to see <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked">
