You can already go to a layout by name. Is that what you mean? I don't quite understand :(

Is it possible? I don't see the option here. Maybe there's a different way to do it?

Another suggestion regarding Layouts: DUPLICATE

I used it a lot on CClassic after building a Skeleton level.

Having a hard time copying and pasting everything and sorting the desired objects in their layers! <img src="smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Wow, thanks a lot Ashley!

You rock! \o/

How lovely! <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Any chance this comes out before the end of the competition!? <img src="smileys/smiley9.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Gammabeam, that's so sweet! <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> I've always entertained the idea of doing something similar. Good luck, mate!

Thanks man!

I'm almost finishing it, just stumbled into a few C2's bugs and restrictions, so I need to create a workaround. I'll try to work on the space game by the end of the week - so something might come out! :D

LOL just spent 20 minutes messing with my events until I tried to check for a bug! <img src="smileys/smiley19.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

The title pretty much says it all: If I use a negative value for the gravity (therefore making the character fall UP), the "Is Falling" condition does not detect the character falling.

Hope you guys can fix this one soon!

Cheers!

If there's any workaround or new official way to this, I'm all ears! :D

Hi Dev dudes!

I'm kinda missing the ability to call Layouts dinamically - by a string, I mean.

I'm trying to be a flexible as possible with my events, especially because I intend to add more levels and features later. Right now making a level selector, and even moving between levels, is proving to be a real pain.

Is it possible to add this feature in the near future?

Thanks guys!

Damn, I don't think I'll be able to join...

I'm working on a game to celebrate my 10 year anniversary together w/ my girl! <img src="smileys/smiley10.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Perhaps I can skin it differently solely for the competition, but I'll try to make a quicker, and perhaps very simple game too :P

Hi Ash

I've been experimenting with the flip stuff and I'll have to follow your advice and double the animations for each sprite that needs both rotating AND flipping.

I hope we can have flip and mirror (or rather flip vertical and horizontal) actions for sprites soon! <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

EDIT:

There's also a bug: Both Flip and Mirror do the same thing, flipping the sprite horizontally... <img src="smileys/smiley19.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Here's my .capx: dl.dropbox.com/u/7324985/smellyFlip.capx

(press Z to rotate 180 degrees, or hold X to rotate it slowly 1 degree per tick)

I am using "HTTP" as the option (it's the default right?), but the problem was still happening.

So I made another test, this time slowly rotating the sprite by 1 degree... And it flipped! After that, changing the angle in 180 degrees increments did the trick.

I am using Firefox, running C2 in a XP windows through Parallels on a Mac (phew!)

As I said on my previous post, I'm not sure I'll be able to use the angle system for flipping the sprite: I'll be using a "look at" mechanics, and they will surely conflict with the flipping... Is there any other way for doing it apart from rotating the sprite?

Thanks in advance! <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Doh! I feel like a noob for not searching it right. <img src="smileys/smiley9.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Thanks Kyatric!

I read the auto mirror explanation, and I tried it but I had a bug: When rotating 180 degrees with the auto mirror (or flip) on, the sprite disappeared.

(EDIT: Just checked it and the sprite is there, hasn't been destroyed or anything... It simply disappeared)

Anyway, I'm afraid the auto feature won't work for me...

May I suggest a "flip horizontal" and "flip vertical" to be added to the list of actions? I believe it may be easier to use and understand it that way. What do you think?

I'm trying to make a sprite flip, but I noticed I can't input negative values to the width or height, as I previously could in CClassic.

Should we have this implemented as well? If not, what's the best/correct way for achieving a flip/mirror effect without using the automatic version?

PS: I also had a tough time trying to figure out what was going on with my sprite collision, until I noticed the "auto-guess" was on by default <img src="smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
