  • thats true, I reported this as a bug/feature request before

    it just treats it as a box that fits the line in it

    the only solution if you need collisions is to use a sprite of a small black square

    and set the image point to the middle left

    and to set the StartXY of the line, you just set the position of the sprite

    to set the EndXY you set the

    Width of the sprite to Distance(Startx, Starty, Endx,Endy)

    and angle to Angle(Startx,Starty,Endx,Endy)

    and as long as you're only going to be using lines in 2d it will look the same, but with pixel perfect collision

  • im not sure if you can type in the characters or use them in the dropdown, but no, as i said. i just wasnt sure how to support them.

    when i was first starting this plugin i asked for anyone to please explain to me how to even type them to screen with a regular keyboard as a start, but i had no friends at the time and no one answered me. i also asked google, but i guess everyone who needs to alreadyy knows how, or i wasnt asking the right questions, cuz i couldnt find anything relevant to my searches

    as far as adding it in the future

    its possible, but it would be much further in the future if at all

    if anyone can tell me if you can type the nonstandard characters into constructs textboxes, itd be a start

  • no support for nonUS ascii characters, unfortunately. that was a programming inexperience result..not a design decision.

    it should (and it works when i use it) set character width to the frame width automatically if you dont set it manually

  • true

    thanks guys

    was gonna start a new thread, but, naaaah.

    nvidia?

    or

    ati

    and why?

    also

    I'm getting the cpu for free, so I'm not really deciding...just curious:

    for cpus I'm upgrading from

    this

    to

    this

    how much of a performance gain should I expect?

  • windows 7 (or vista if you've tried it, should be similar)

    will I ahve to reinstall when I get a new motherboard changing from amd to intel?

  • no then?

  • I apologize for the lack of progress everyone

    really at an important part of my personal project though

    and I need to take advantage of some unanticipated free time while I have it

    but I promise I haven't given up on perfecting 360 controls

    just give me some time

    and yes, I did copy/paste, but don't take that as insincerity

    also alspal, david said directx controls were coming in the future

  • it works in photoshop for me

    haven't tried it with construct

    but honestly, if you're using a wacom

    and you're good enough to take advantage of it as an artist

    you'd really be wasting your talent in constructs paint editor

    you should use a more powerful image editor

    no diss to construct, it's just not made to be a fullfeatured image creation tool

  • it's not coming along yet manontherun

    I'm working fulltime on my personal game project from now until I get the editor fully working

    then I'm going to fix all the reported bugs for Custom Controls, and FontSprite

    then I'll make this

    it's not a matter of if it works to be honest though

    it will work, I just need the time to program it

    and I don't have it at the moment

    but all the needed elements to make it work on in there in the sdk and construct itself

  • it sounds like the year old thing is unnecesary, since year.old will always equal year-1

    but there's nothing about what you said that sounds like it shouldn't work

    we'd need to see your code to see why it's not working

    you can post a cap

    or post a screenshot and black out the unrelated actions if you don't want people to see your code

  • a soft drop shadow with alpha shapes instead of bounding box would be pretty
