I think it is useful to hold templates of event blocks that you do not want to delete. But dont want to execute. Another alternative to disabled groups.

I would rather keep it than remove it. I find myself using it more than deactivate because it is fast and I can keep easily see what should never run.

oh nice, add button. this will save me a immense headache and increase my productivity ten fold. thanks.

This is very annoying. I would request that you change the Insert behavior on the event list editor to insert code 1 line BELOW not above. Please.

thanx alot, i thought it was using world space coordinates

im trying to manipulate actions by testing overlapped with a field or position which is a specific RGB value, the problem is RGBAt when used on an actives position ( a square with color) returns 0, 0, 0.
I must not be using it right, can someone point me to an example for proper use of RGBAt?

object RGBAt(object.X, object.Y) //Returns 0, not even sure what it would return since the docs dont show me anything on it

set alt value redColor = RGBRed(RGBAt(object.X, object.Y)) // returns 0???? what? D:<

pls someone help me understand this.

Wow thanks, I wish there was a native way to do inner for object loops like this extension allows.

You know, simple add, push, pop for values. (or better yet, game objects)
Also getters like getting the size.
anyone know of something like this?

nevermind, turns out its a bunch of maths using squareroots on virtual rects and ****

see title for thread question.
:O

I know how to project one, using math, but I want to pathfind, how do you do it? anyone got any books on this?

I'm not sure how Sierra games did it, they make tons of isometric... anyone know some good formula to remember on working in isometric and what values youi need? thx

cool, nice work

this is how you "work around" it, OP,

I basically had to rework a finite statemachine to handle the state of where the loading was, when the file was made, and if and when something loads how to load the game. It was painful and it is of course difficult to track with the ehhhmeehh way it is to read the event list editor... good luck.

Discovered a nasty bug for saving your frame, you cannot save and also load on the same frame (or loop? or frame per second?) instance without it complaining to find the file you saved it on (lost refernece) via the file selector, EVERY TIME, the FIRST TIME, unless you restart the frame before trying to load. This is very annoying,

See line 51.

I think this is a bug, as it can affect gameplay and also the way you load or initialize frames. And the presentation of your product (most clients dont want file selectors popping up)

wow thank you both, this is a good example I hope it helps others who have been having the same problem. it is similar to my old example

as "Cos(ParentAngle( "Child" ) - CurrentAngle( "Child" )) * relativeX( "Child" ) - Sin(ParentAngle( "Child" ) - CurrentAngle( "Child" )) * relativeY( "Child" )" seems very familiar. I'm sure I had borrowed this formula in my old example since I still dont understand it too well.

ewww, I somehow broke it trying to do a conditional rotate, what the heck.....

Ive no clue why its broken, it doesnt make sense to me. But somehow I am missing important things. No clue.

Thanks, however I need for the object overlapping to only have a relative location while still being able to move freely. Sadly, keeping the overlapped objects X and Y and setting it per frame will stick the "Carried Object" in one place (like a pin) and while thats good its not what I want, I just want the position to be affected by rotation, relative to its overlapped objects rotation/
also thank you Sir for the trigonometry lesson, I'm having issues with it.

This is a modified schrodinger's example:

As you can see, the offset is off and I have forgotten completely the math to make it right. I did figure it out before and lost my nice example sadly.

But I am mostly interested in understanding the exact math, and what each part does.

1. Find radius of the object by getting the distance from the object overlapping to the overlapped object's X and Y multiplied by 1.0?

2. get the angle the same way, from and to.

not sure what these do:

+ ( Cos(angle_to_obj( "Carried Object" ) - Angle( "Big Object" )) * radius( "Carried Object" ) )

+ ( Sin(angle_to_obj( "Carried Object" ) - Angle( "Big Object" )) * radius( "Carried Object" ) )

would be nice to get a small explanation as to what values or formula I require to get the correction in angle and rotation to match up with relative position as exact as possible, as its misaligned and I'm not sure what to look for...

anyone got any recommendations for game development math books/trigonometry 101?

thanks...........

The performance boost is critical, you can get around 5000 objects with 3 parts each (in total) and still maintain 60 fps. But this, I do not know why.

However you must make sure each one is a complete set or the pairing will break.

Well, the idea is to only use object pairing thats built into clickteam's fusion. Not use any for each loops at all. Thats what the problem is, you lose pairing when each object does not contain the same matched pair.

What gives?

BROKEN. Fails to pair correctly, in fact the objects attachment 1 or 2 will overwrite their last pair and forget their original pairs.

Whats the matter with automatic object pairing, it seems this is a huge bug?

The problem in fusion, is to get around the hard limit of 999 objects being paired before slow frame rate using Spread values or the like, you must use automatic pairing so the objects with multiple parts always have a direct reference to the first object. because you cant set this using any kind of variable. And because of this we are reliant on pairing automatically for larger projects.
