I'd like some Event shortening tips. please! ;D

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

  • We always love a short and to the point event list!
    What are some tips to shorten event lines (excluding coments :D) that you've experienced?
    There came a time when your knowledge increased a bunch and you cut a lot of lines off of your events! specially now with 2.5+!
    Can you name a few you remember?
    Sometimes we have 1000 lines when if we used other methods of doing the same thing it would've been shorter!
    0 to 1 Counters vs On-Off flags?, Groups/subgroups vs Parent/children? math instead of objects?
    Thanks oh ye wise! ;)

  • A very common thing I see is this:

    If value = 1 -> Play animation 1
    If value = 2 -> Play animation 2
    If value = 3 -> Play animation 3
    etc....
    This is ok if there are few animations, but what if there are 50, or houndreds?

    A better method is this:
    Always: Play animation (value) or value -1, whatever fits :)
