  • You can insert the racer's time and id into an array and sort the array.

    Although you wouldn't need to sort at all since it would be in order already if you push to the array (back) as they finish, since they would presumably be finishing in order...

    The position number would simply be the array index + 1

  • Separate out the decimal portion and integer portion. Use zeropad() to add zeros for the decimal portion.

    For any number "n" - set text to int(n) & "." & zeropad(round((n-int(n))*100),2)

    To zeropad to "d" digits instead of 2, it would be int(n) & "." & zeropad(round((n-int(n))*10^d),d)

    int(n) - the whole number portion of n

    n-int(n) - the decimal portion of n

    round((n-int(n))*10^d) - multiplying the decimal portion of n to get a whole number up to d digits, and rounding to get rid of the remaining decimals

    zeropad(n,d) - pad number (n) out to a certain number of digits (d) by adding zeroes in front of the number

  • Here's the dissolve portion.

    dropbox.com/scl/fi/4xlpja8hk97ttb9lwvlm4/dissolveexample.c3p

    It involves using a noise texture from the advanced random plugin on a drawing canvas, placed above the target sprite on a layer with force own texture enabled, setting the blend mode to destination in, and using an alpha clamp effect with the threshold tweened from 0 to 100%.

    Set the blend mode of the drawing canvas to normal if you need help to visualize what's happening. You can also use the destination out blend mode instead, and tween the alpha clamp threshold from 100 to 0 instead for more or less the same result.

    For the fire part, I imagine you would do exactly the same thing, using the same noise pattern, on a fiery colored texture, but timed so that it starts slightly ahead of the dissolving part.

    The linked effect uses simplex noise instead of perlin noise, but perlin is what we have to work with here in the advanced random plugin, short of importing the simplex algorithm manually or through a JS library.

  • Use for each, and identify the origin with an instance variable.

    You can set the instance variable by uid of the spawner - when enemy spawn boomerang, set origin to enemy.uid.

    Then for each boomerang, pick enemy by uid, and do whatever movement actions you have on those two instances only.

    Bonus - don't forget to handle what happens if the enemy gets destroyed or is no longer available but the boomerang is still out.

  • Getting the dpi of a(ny) given mobile device reliably isn't currently a thing that exists.

    A user calibration/one time set up may be your best option. Think rhythm games that rely on user input to calibrate audio and visual latency based on the user's device.

    There are sometimes ways to hide it too, like asking the user to "press 'x' to start" when determining which type of controller button mapping tooltips to display, Xbox vs ps.

  • For the users, don't auto join rooms or allow them to join/create a room that doesn't already exist. You can get the number of users in a room with Multiplayer.ListRoomPeerCount(index) expression

  • In that case you don't need the number of tiles right?

    On paletteTilemap clicked - Set selectionVariable to paletteTilemap.TileAt(paletteTilemap.PositionToTileX(Mouse.X),paletteTilemap.PositionToTileY(Mouse.Y)

    On canvasTilemap clicked - Set tile at canvasTilemap.PositionToTileX(Mouse.X), canvasTilemap.PositionToTileY(Mouse.Y) to selectionVariable

  • Here's my epic tileset questions.

    -What is the logic for getting the number of tiles in a tileset?

    Not currently available, besides manually counting or entering a number in a variable ahead of time. What do you need it for?

    -How do you get a tile's image and put it somewhere else, if possible?

    TileAt(x, y) expression to get the tile id at a position, Set tile action to set a tile id at a position.

  • Theoretically... With the tools we have you might be able to import a sheet and resize/reposition a mask to get the effect you're looking for...

    That would be absolutely absurd of course practically speaking from an implementation and performance perspective.

    It would be much more reasonable to import individual frames as needed instead. If you're in control of the distribution format and method, you could use the file name to contain metadata such as animation name, order, length ect. whether it is online (ajax) or on the local drive (nwjs). Or is nwjs even necessary anymore? I haven't been active for a while, but I vaguely remember something about web apps getting access to the local files.

  • Yes, don't use that. You don't want it to trigger multiple times as it's stepping through collisions for an object. Stepping is still enabled for collisions regardless, when the Step property in the behavior is checked/enabled.
