  • "The dilemma being that I have a very artistic brain and no matter how much you explain coding and scripting to me, I will never get it, so I decided to use a simple ready editor."

    Black Rabbit;

    If you want to write a real game in C2, you will need to understand scripting and coding. Even though it uses event sheets you will still end up using functions, static variables with local scope etc. So C2 isn't going to solve your basic dilemma--which is you say you can't code.

    I suggest you see what you can do with RPG maker ACE--you should be able to get some kind of game out of that since it is mostly just a database.

  • Hello;

    I have a family,called COG and some of its sprites are global and some are not. Is there some way to tell, (something like COG.IsGlobal)?

    Thanks for your time.

    Rex Rainbow has an addon that does hex maps with pathfind. Not sure its exactly what you want, but take a look.

  • Thanks gumshoe frosnite and Madspy. I can work around it. I can see why be able to move between layouts could mess up optimizations and the like.

    Thanks for your time.

  • Hello;

    Is there a way to move an instance of a sprite from one layout to another so that it still has the same UID without making the sprite Global?

    thanks for your time.

  • Thanks Korbach and blackhornet. I think I do it by picking objects that overlap Mouse.X and Mouse.Y inside the "on left mouse clicked" event.

  • Hello;

    In the event file things are supposed to execute from top to bottom--however, "On left button clicked" event executes before "On left button clicked on Object" event--regardless of the order of the two click events in the event file.

    I want to skip the "on left button clicked" event if an object is clicked. I was going to set a flag in "on left button clicked on Object" to do this--however they execute in the wrong order.

    Is there a way to do this?

    thanks for your time.

  • Hello;

    I have a string called Debug Text (using the Text Plugin), which is in the home layer of my start screen.

    Later on it is in the UI layer of my Roid screen. When I go from the start layout to the Roid layout I now see two copies, one from the start screen home layer and one from the UI layer on roid. Once I leave the start layout why does the Global "Debug Text" still show where it once showed?

    I assumed Global means the string is not destroyed when the layout is closed--not that its display properties are persistent to the next Layout. Am I missunderstanding what a global text variable does(I used the Text Plugin).

    Should I just have a global array and load it into a local text display plugin?

    Thanks for your time.

  • Thanks fisholith. I can see how this will do it--but I was thinking about an effect like bubble but with a directional highlight of some kind. I think your method is the brute force method, but sometimes that is best.

  • Hello;

    You know how a lazer burst hits the nearly transparent spherical shield of a space ship and it lights up for a few seconds and fades? Is there an effect combination that does this--it needs to take a radius (shield size) and an angle (where it was hit) and an intensity (so it can fade).

    Just wondering if someone knows an effect combo or something that can do this.

    Thanks for your time.

  • Is overlapping at xy offset and angle offset--we want to check not just for offset, but also for angle offset.
