    Add action

    Set value

    Heath + 1

    **Health not recognized in scope**

  • That is pretty cool. Great job.

  • Also I just found another related bug.

    Add action

    -> Family

    -> Subtract from variable

    Unfortunately it doesn't work.

  • I want to use the instance variable in the set value action.

    Add action

    -> Family

    -> Set Value

    -> Can't type in the Family instance variable.

    ex

    Family variable health

    Set value

    Health - 1

    I know I can just use the subtract but there are other things I might have to use this for.

    Thanks.

    On another note, perhaps it might be better use a different family icon.

  • ^^^ What's wrong with France, Ubisoft is from France

  • I have been working with families since it came out and it's amazing. Thank you so much for adding it.

  • That looks pretty cool. Something even simpler than that would be ideal. C# and XNA have done a good job with it.

  • Back when I used to program in XNA I used lists quite a bit. Basically, in games like where you need to save multiple items and to possibly come back to that list of items. RPG and surprisingly rhythm games use lists heavily.

    Now, the array feature could arguably be used for this. Creating a new array each time you need a list and when you think about it that is all an list is: a single column array.

    However, having a list function would be good to have. Features such as save list, add to list, subtract to list would be a very nice to have. Especially since I love rhythm games.

    Anyway, this isn't a priority. Maybe after Scirra finishes their to do list and after they take an extended vacation in Portugal then maybe they can visit the idea of a list in C2.

    Just a thought.

  • Ashley what is C2 programmed in Visual studio?

  • I have to agree with Ashley at some point in time in the future somebody will have an HTML 5 to exe program.

    Personally, that job is too hard to do for a 2 man team.

  • Why is it so important to have an Exe? The trend is going the other way with "web apps"

  • That would be awesome. Personally I use 6 screens and cannot deal with just using one screen.

    Im just kidding. Dual screen support would be great. Some programs have a maximize to all monitors. Im not sure how easy this is to implement.

  • To be honest it's their loss if they make it hard to publish Windows 8 Metro apps - there's a tonne of other places to publish HTML5 games. So let's hope it's a smooth experience.

    You are preaching to the choir. I dislike the tiered system MS has with their platforms. Hopefully the XBOX 720 won't have the same systems as the 360 has. Hopefully XBLA and XBLIG will merge to become one.

  • I heard that metro apps might no be available to everybody. It is similar to how XBLA is not available to everybody. I hope Im wrong.

  • IAP + free distribution + a really awesome game = money for the developer.
