Here's a very basic level editor I put together within a couple of hours. It also includes a mini map and the beginnings of a node system for position tracking in a racing game.

This covers tile placement, saving, and loading.

Hopefully, the comments aren't too nonsensical. I tried to keep things open-ended.

Enjoy!

Hello! Do you have an example MFA to share?

I've had to make similar considerations for my project, but it's easier because each region is the same size as the screen (think NES Zelda).

If I were to go for multi-screen regions, I might use objects to define the limit of each region. Instead of having a separate array file to store those locations, I'd plot them in the custom level editor on a different Z coordinate of the array.

Sorry if that's a vague description, but I hope it's a step in the right direction.

A value that acts as a multiplier might also do the trick.

Copy and paste the object to each frame. Also copy any events associated with it.

If your goal is to release on Steam, the XBOX Gamepad object isn't a terrible choice. Steam can do some XInput emulation to widen compatibility.

So i'm not mad, this issue exists. Was going to think it was an issue with my computer or windows 11 not working correctly with Fusion only... Thank you!

Does the issue still occur in this MFA? It tracks double clicks with the key object. It also has an adjustable double click timeframe.

I would go for a custom blitter. You get more control, but it's also more work.

You could use a flag or a value. If the flag is on, pause specific sounds or channels. If the flag is off, resume.

This is a limitation of the Android runtime, those features are not implemented on this platform.

Is this something that could eventually be added?

How are you moving the player? It's possible to make all of that work with the default movements, but it would be easier to make it all happen with custom movements using events. Also more flexible.

Do you have an example to share?

Forgot to include this.

Try setting the fullscreen mode of Ultimate Fullscreen to 1. I tested this and got the desired result.

As for the Window Control object, you have to have the heading and the menu disabled for the scaling to work properly, but you also lose the advantage of borders.

To scale it with the Window Control Object, I recommend using The Big Box to get your screen width. At the start of the frame, set a multiplier value to Int(ScrWidth( "The Big Box" ) / 400). After that, use Window Control to set your width to 400*multiplier and height to 240*multiplier.

While I'm here, I just want to say that it's time for these settings to get updated. Ultimate Fullscreen doesn't play nice with the Steamworks object, and the the options available within Fusion are pretty limited.

I would set an alterable value to act as a timer. When lives are 0, add 1 to that value (assuming 60 fps). If value >= 60*desired seconds, jump to frame.

What are you trying to do with what's in the array?

Quick example: If you wanted to set a string to what's at certain coordinates on a string array, you would set the string to StrAtXYZ( "Array", X, Y, Z ).

As far as I know, there is no workaround for that specific issue. If you use events to move your object, you could set a value to LastActiveJoystick( "Joystick 2 object" ) one time and use that value whenever you need to specify which joystick is being used.

Have you tried turning on vsync to see if that helps?

Yes I know. But, it is simply change resolution. The CF's fullscreen mode is "DirectX Fullscreen" that's best parformance in all of fullscreen methods.

I wasn't aware that there is a "DirectX Fullscreen" mode. What's the difference between that and setting a resolution by other means?

Feature Request
The "Change Resolution Mode" at the application property and the "Full Screen Mode" at the event editor, they change resolution are dependent by window size of the application.
I would like to change resolution by specifc resolution. Could you add option?

Have you tried messing with The Big Box object? That might move you in the right direction.

Edit: Attached an example.
