Android is just another way of saying audio lag :D

I wish for the day when audio on android performs as good as on iOS where it is nearly instant.

As it is now, I avoid arrays because it gets complex and fiddly to use them with all the referencing UID's back and forth etc.

If I want to use an array it has to be added as a seperate object, why is it not a type of variable that can be created as an instance variable? Would make them much easier to use I think.

Thanks!

Not to debunk or anything but just out of curiosity: why would I give the solid behavior to hundreds of constantly moving object? When trying other engines everynone tells you to avoid using solid objects as much as possible. Interesting test though :)

Here's one that works with multiple NPC's. Had to do it "the long way" without arrays so the code is not as "nice" as the first one but it works very well. Enjoy! :)

Here's a small example with an npc walking around and choosing a new possible direction when it hits a wall:

dropbox.com/s/4aize339qek1d6l/Choose%20direction%20NPC.c3p
The real trick is to make it work with more than one on the layout at once, haven't quite figured that out yet but I'm working on it :)

See ya!

Ok, try json state saved to a dictionary:

Thanks but.. I don't understand the example :(

Persist behavior maybe.

Nope, only works on object that are left behind. Like if you want a button to remember if it has been pressed when coming back to it from another layout. Thanks anyway :)

Been a while since I tried making a physics based game and now I have hit a problem. When the player ( a guy in a eva space suit) exits one layout and is moved to the next all physics movement is gone even when I temp save velocity.x and velocity.y and then restore those values to the physics behavior at the start of the next layout. I have the player set to global.

Anyone know how to do this? :)

If it is an intro sequnce to be shown inside the game I don't see a need for a captured video that will result in massive mb increase. Just make the sequence on its own layout and event sheet and save lots of app size. Then if you want to capture that scene for youtube etc you can do that with softwares like Streamlabs OBS.

I put together a simple example project to go with the npc state machine flow chart I posted earlier:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/9n5aswgqavpg9n1/Npc%20Machine.c3p?dl=0

I put in comments in the eventsheets that hopefully explains things :)

Hope someone finds this helpful.
