  • The built in progress bar is very 1 dimensional. To be able to change it's style, you need to have a pretty good grasp of web styling with css. It is easier to create your own progress bar using sprites. Check out this example.

    To set the width of the progress bar, you use the following equation:

    FullWidthOfBar * (CurrentValue / MaxValue)

    So if your progress bar is 300 pixels wide and it is tracking life where the max life is 50 and the current life is 40:

    300 * (40 / 50)

  • Behaviors have an enabled property. All you need to do is, set the initially enabled to false. Then you can use an action to set it enabled or disabled depending on the value of your checkbox. You don't even need the boolean.

  • I took a look at your code and noticed you are using functions and for each statements. I couldn't help but think this could be easier with a state machine.

    For a state machine, you need to give your objects a state and update the state according to their needs. For example, a bug would start at an idle state. Then, when they need to eat, they enter a searching for food state. When they find food, they enter an eating state, etc...

    I threw together a quick example that shows the principle in action. Hopefully it gets you closer to completing your project.

  • Redownload the project. I made some modifications to it.

  • Try this out.

    Here is what I did:

    Took out 1 of each of the indicators.

    Stretched the indicators so it is on both sides of the box.

    Removed 1 of each of the text objects and just set the text according to the push state.

    Added the box, indicator and text all to a container.

    With them in a container, whenever 1 item from the container is selected, all items from the container are selected. This is what ensures that the child relations are set properly in your code. Personally, I would remove all the child code and just pin the objects to the box. It would drastically cut down the actions but it works just fine this way.

  • 1 - Just set the preview panel objects from the instance variables on the Highlight objects.

    2 - The wrong answer is exactly the same as the right answer just with a not equals. You will also want to only allow it to trigger once while true.

    3 - DON'T DELETE, just move them off the screen. If you take a look at my example, the highlights start off the screen and there is an on screen check.

    4 - The animal text event is exactly the same as the animal event. I am not sure what your question is. If you can do the one, you can do the other.

    5 - In the on-click event, just add a condition comparing the opacity = 100.

    6 - Just increment the values in the events where you play the sounds. Also, if these variables are specific to the level, (meaning the count of tries is reset on each level) I would suggest not using global variables. Instead, add an instance variable to one of the objects on the layout. I would put it on the text object that displays the value. I make this suggestion because global variables are remembered between layouts so you will have to clear them on start of each layout.

    I hope this gets you what you need and good luck with your project.

  • I think this example should give you all you need. Take a look.

  • When you export to android, there is an option to hide the status bar. Make sure you have that checked.

  • I took a look at your project and yes, there is a much more simple way to do what you are trying. Take a look at this sample project. I added 3 layouts all using the same event sheet with 4 events. It should be relatively self-explanatory. I used a text object for the color name. The only thing you have to do different is, get the animation name instead of the text value of the selected object.

  • A level select menu only needs 1 event. Name the level the same as a variable on the item you are clicking to select the level (if it is a dropdown, the dropdown selected text should be the same as the level name). Then use the Go To Layout by Name action passing in the variable from the item.

  • The issue is caused by the size change. A mirror sprite has a negative width. That is how the system handles mirroring. Since you are setting the width to a positive value, you are losing the mirrored appearance. Instead of setting the size, could you set the scale? That might be the easiest fix for you. If not, you will have to check mirrored state and reset it right after changing the size.
