here's a solution, only from one family, but its a start :)

creating unique random object from family

i don't think it has, you could create a "screenarea 4:3" "screenarea2:1 object and put them on different layers to check

you could probably also calculate wich aspect ratio is been used, and depending on that set some placement rules of different objects/ui

in webdev they call it responsive design, whooo :)

there shouldn't be a difference with using arrays, if your generated object has the correct attributes > solid

so check your platform object you generate

Pakost

not exactly, use only one small 2*2px object that you scale and stretch for collision detection, and make copies where you need them, not really needed to be put in an atlas as its so small

if you use transparent or filled object, in this case it doesn't really make any different, a filled object you just need to hide so you dont see the collision area

hiding something doesn't mean its not taking filesize, i only stated that this could be the reason why the transparent png was exported black

but anyhow its most likely because of construct optimization

hope thats clear :)

nice editor! great work, i do ask myself how you will do the transitions, i guess load them in at that position, and then transition, cool, will be nice to see it all working together

not sure, but using a fully transparent object would mean the same as using a filled object but hidden, could be that construct recognize this and optimize it that way, or because the optimizing gives an 8bit png, that displays like that in windows + using the same object multiple times does not increase size so it don't see a problem there, there is currently no special "collision object"

you could put al static images into multiple frame, that would create an atlas, there's curently no other way to select them

ps: to be clear, dont create multiple sized collision objects, just use one and stretch/rotate it

nutmix there is a project bar and an object bar,

project bar = all objects in game

object bar = all objects in current layout

you can enable them in "view" menu

edit: ow yes and there is indeed a right click filter menu in object bar,

to show all object in project, didn't know that myself

there is an action "stop loop" not sure if it works for "for each"

add action > under general

Tobye im trying to come to a waterproof explaination but i cant :) im in the habit to use alot of for each just because its sometimes unclear and by testing and error come to right usage, not ideal../ but its better now with families

about edit 2: didnt check but could be why,

if you inverted the line of sight, every object that has line of sight will not be destroyed

no line of sight = destroy

line of sight = nothing happens

also if you didn't use for each to test this some random things can happen

instead of using pixel perfect detection, you could pin some detector sprites on the circle, when the collision happens you have your xy value, more detectors more accurate

Tobye I went over it, and there where some problems but works now, best to compare the capx to see whats changed, but there still some problem left, but i think its just the logic, you use two different settings for lineofsight, but the first one will always set the "orb" to "chase" so the second setting will not matter

fix

what is happening now, is the objects are moving on a path to the destination, when they overlap the objects are trying to push eachother out (using physics or solid) but at the same time they want to keep following the path, result is bad movement, so you need an extra behavior - ai

it is called "avoidance" but its something you should program yourself, there are not many or no examples of such behavior in construct, you can look it up on the web - rts avoidance, avoidance steering

what probably should happen if a collision is going to happen (invisible trigger), one object should decide to hold/stop the pathfinder movement until there is no collision, if you want the objects to keep moving, while there going to be a collision, then you need to steer/direct the object to a place where there is no collison

it will take alot of coding i think, but it can be done, but its pretty advanced
