  • When you put your finger on your phone in some games a menu of icons appears around it in a hexagonal or square pattern. You then slide your finger to the choice icon and it fires that choice and the menu vanishes. This happens for instance in "civilization" type games when you touch a unit and pick defend or repair or whatever.

    It is logically equivalent to a drop down menu.

    This plugin would accept a sprite for each choice and where they appear relative to an origin x,y usually a circular clockwise arrangment of choices. The plugin fires the choice with an "on choice" type function and the sprites vanish or fade.

    thanks for your time.

  • rexrainbow;

    Great. I can use this as my "distance" measure.

    Thanks for your time and help.

  • Thankyou rexrainbow. By the way, is there a way to get the nearest chess (by nearest in terms of total SLGmovement cost) that meets a function SLGcriterion? Ie whats the ChessUID of the nearest Chess that has a value of at least 20 from the function SlgCriterion (excluding any chess at the Origin) This kind of tells the AI where is the nearest weak monster? It could also tell the AI things like where is the nearest (0r furthest) monster that uses ranged combat.

    Thankyou for you time.

    I think the plugins are great!

  • rexrainbow;

    I think I found a minor bug in Board in "Pick Neighbor chess origin to direction". In Hex mode if I use -2 (for direction) and lower or 6 and higher I get a crash error. It is fine for direction, -1 to 5 inclusive (and I love -1 which picks all 6!!!).

    I am new so maybe I should have posted this somewhere else.

    Anyway--its a great addon.

    thankyou for your time

  • Great, thanks balckhornet.

  • I tried all the permutations i could think of. How do I get a value back from a function that uses set return value?

    Here is picture of the error I get in my call to the "getit" function which returns a single number via set return value.

    Thanks for your time.

  • Hundredfold I appreciate the suggestion, but it is an XSquare variable--I think the problem has to do with how to compare one XSquare with many XSquare--how does it know to limit the first to one single instance and then the next reference to XSquare is every other instance?

    But thanks for you comment.

  • I want to find sprites that overlap just one other sprite (my sprites are called XSquare in my code). I tried the "for each XSquare" approach pictured below, but it doesn't select anything. How can I find the set of all XSquare objects that only overlap one other XSquare object? (I can find all the ones that overlap, but not all the ones that just overlap one).

    Thanks for your time.

  • Thanks justifun. I tried it out, it works just fine.

  • Great. Thanks R0j0hound. I will have to figure out how to install an effect.

  • Thanks Rjan. Flash can be done in the image editor and its a behavior already. It would just be nice to put a red outline on something when it got hit instead of making it flash.

    But you make a valid point.

  • I looked for this behavior but could not find it. If you took the sprite image, turned it red (or whatever color), expanded it a few pixels and then put it behind the regular sprite it would outline the sprite in red. You could make this flashing red or perhaps remove the orginal sprite and just have the outline. It would be useful in the same way a flashing sprite is useful.

    thanks for your time.
