  • Yeah, there are plenty of ways to control the flow of events - using triggered events, Wait, Wait for signal, Every x second, Timer, Trigger Once, event groups.

    What I love (and sometimes hate) the most about C2 is its picking system. It takes time to fully understand how it works, but it's a really powerful stuff.

  • newt I believe if ball collides with two vectors at the same moment, both vector instances will be picked in one collision event.

    Here are a few examples:

    // If you need to process all vector instances which are currently in collision with the ball 
Ball on Collision with Vector
    For each Vector  ......................

// If you need to process only one vector instance, no matter if the ball has hit 1 or 2 vectors
Ball on Collision with Vector
    System -> Pick 0-th instance of Vector  ......................

// If you need to know if more than 1 vector is in collision with the ball 
Ball on Collision with Vector
     System -> Compare two values -> Vector.pickedCount>1

// If you need to pick only one of two vectors using some condition 
Ball on Collision with Vector
     System -> Compare two values -> Vector.pickedCount>1
           System -> Pick Vector by evaluate <your condition here>[/code:3j641p9u]

  • I'm pretty sure your obj_player is not sleeping, so this whole event doesn't work.

  • In "Is overlapping" event add a sub-event - "For each vector" or any of the "System->Pick" events.

    You can also check how many vectors are picked at any time using expression vector.pickedCount

  • I think Box2D Asm and Box2D Web are pretty much the same. And Chipmunk is pretty much completely different

    It has its own advantages and disadvantages, I'm sure you can find all information in this thread:

  • Well, you can add a loop "Repeat 1000000 times" or something like that on every tick to slow your game down.

  • You can't do this with standard C2 events, but it's possible with JS code.

    Here is a somewhat similar plugin that detects faces in images.

    If you are familiar with JS, you can probably modify this plugin for color detection using tracking.js library from the link you posted.

  • There are two built-in Physics engines in C2 - Box2D Asm and Box2D Web, have you tried both?

    Also, you can try using Chipmunk, it might work faster:

    To open a capx created with newer version of C2, rename it to zip, unpack to a folder, open .caproj file in Notepad and edit this line:

    <saved-with-version>24600</saved-with-version>

    (I post this advice so often, I should add it to my signature )

  • There are a couple of plugins that extend textbox capabilities, you may find them useful:

  • The music normally doesn't stop when you change layouts. You don't need to do anything.

  • I don't like TextBox, it's ugly (for games), impractical, hard to customize.

    If I needed a simple text input for my game, I would probably make my own custom "textbox" using Text or SpriteFont object.

    Shouldn't be too hard - read keyboard input to add or remove characters. Use symbol "|" for cursor, blink it every second (replace with " "), move cursor with arrow keys.

    Setting cursor to mouse position could be tricky, but still possible with SpriteFont as you can get the exact size of each character.

    Of course if you need text selection, copy-paste functions - this will require more effort.
