As previously said, if you test the bouncing ball against a single active object, and the ball bounces as expected, you then know that the logic behind the bricks is faulty.

Quote from semar

but you should do and try what we suggest you.

I tested it several times in several different situations, but the ball doesn't bounce as expected. I already said yesteday that I saw no difference. Nothing got changed.
The breakable blocks have exactly the same logic as borders.. nothing special: (ball collides object => bounce).
Only, and only difference is that when the ball touches the block, the block gets destroyed. This event happends before the "bounce event" happens.

You may for example have a single object for the bouncing against the bricks, so that the ball bounces right, and you can have another hidden ball behind the visible one, and use it to delete the brick(s) when it collides with it.

This way the visible ball will bounce as expected, and the bricks also are destroyed as expected.

The problem is not about breaking the blocks, but about how the ball bounces. Breaking blocks works perfectly just as inteded.
The ball just turns around randomly, whether the block gets destroyed or not, whether it bounces from breakable block, the wall, or the border of the area.

FYI this object has never 'worked' as intended since I can remember.

I've been using Clickteam for almost 10 years, and I have noticed similar problems in many different situations..

You get better results from coding your own engine

Possibly, but I know nothing about real coding and I don't want to go learn it just for this little side project.

Or perhaps the collision mask is to blame?

I already tried box shaped collision and ball shaped collision, but without luck.

I have read those.. Like I said, I have set "Randomizer" to zero. I've also played with the security settings and anything I've chosen, it doesn't help anything.

Hmm.. I don't notice any differences.. (this also happends when I make event (ball leaves the area => bounce):

Even if the edges of the game area were one and the same object, or multiple larger objects and the problem was fixed, it would not fix whole problem, because it also occurs in breakable blocks, and those can't be change to the single object.

I already tried that, but it didn't work. The problem occurs even if the ball hits the middle of the block without touching the other blocks.

Quote from semar

verify the ball movement mechanics, maybe you have some redundant events/conditions that make the ball path unpredictable or wrong.

Only event I have related to ball is that when it collides with object that have certain qualifier, it bounces:

Regarding the continuously horizontal/vertical movement. This phenomen can be easily avoided in the ball movement property panel, when you decide which ball direction are allowed and which not. You can set it so that the ball will never travel with an horizontal or vertical path.

Ball is allowed to move horizontally and vertically, but only in certain situations. The ball should always turn at the angle it comes from.. just like light would work with a mirror.

At the moment, the ball makes randomly its own decisions, like turning around or turning to another angle..

For the "Bouncing Ball" movement, I've already set "randomizer" to zero. Even after changing "# of angles" to 8 (just for testing), the ball still makes sometimes a complete turn, or turns horizontally/vertically from an angle.

The balls "course" is supposed to only change when it touches the platform (carried by the duck) depending on where the ball hits, but I'll do that later.

Hi.
I'm trying to make the ball movement similar to "Brick Breaker" games, but anything I try, it's total nightmare. Here are two examples:

With "Bouncing Ball" movement:
Please login to see this media element.

With "Physics - Bouncing Ball movement" movement:
Please login to see this media element.

In both the ball movement is very unpredictable. Sometimes the ball just turns around (for example, the ball moves to the southeast, but when it hits the wall, it turns to the northwest), sometimes its direction just "stops" (the ball initially moves in different directions, but then it "slows down" and only moves either up and down, or left and right.. and might start from that too.. Sometimes the change is fast and sometimes really slow), and sometimes the ball just gets stuck in the wall, just like at the beginning of the first video.

How can this be fixed, or can it be fixed at all?

(PS: just ignore the duck with the platform.. focus on the movement of the ball)

I am well aware of those. The data is always reset in the right places. Those bugs then also happened inside the Clickteam, even though I only tested one frame (bc of that,data is not transferred from other frames), so the problem can't be caused by those.

It's not about that. I have put maxinum 30 000 "Number of objects" on every single frame, and there are usually 600-3 000 objects on the frames.
Also that couldn't explain why some events stop working completely, but the next day everything works perfectly

Hello!

I've noticed that when I currently build my large game, and test the game, some features of the game work completely wrong and mess up, but when I test it later, everything works perfectly..

For example.. I didn't make any changes to the bosses, but when I tested the built version, the bosses do something completely different than those should (enemies don't move, sights doesn't move towards the player, etc.), even after opening game again and even in the editor, but in the next day, everything works perfectly.

Second example.. I didn't make any changes for the shop, but when I tested the built version (which I build many days after the last one), it worked perfectly fine for the while, but after I entered level 4 and went to shopping, it starts to get crazy.. (sometimes the shop closes by itself, the text doesn't appear, the shop selector moves by itself, etc), I went back to previous levels, and they started to get crazy too. Restarting the game didn't help. The next day I played through the whole game and all the shops worked perfectly fine.

What could be the reason for this? Has anyone else had similar experiences? This has only recently started to happen.. Other testers also have same problems when they test the game..
I'm using Clickteam Fusion 2.5 Developer (with 2.5+dlc).. Build R294.10

Can I change "Heading when maximized" mid of the game?

That works. Thanks! Now only problem is that Header thing.

Hmm. If I want to change windowed mode scale and my game is on the second screen, how can i keep it there?
Currently it always goes back to the first monitor, and the window is meant to be centered when the scale changes.
Please login to see this attachment.

WinMesPro doesn't seem to do anything and Kernel object just creates things inside the window (I had window inside another window).

I use "Ultimate FullScreen" and "Window Control" objects so I'm not sure how make those work with "Multiple Monitor Support" object.

Question 1:
It is possible to swap "heading" setting on the fly?

Question 2:
If I have two monitors and I move windowed game to second screen and then I change to the full screen, it goes back to first screen. How can I make it stay on second screen?

Hmmm.. there was only a day between the old and the new game build, and there was no problems with the previous one.
My antivirus software didn't find "Win32:PUP-gen [PUP]" from that earlier build, but one was found in a newer build I made next day.
I checked both builds at the same time.

This seems to work.. Thanks! I wonder why doesn't it think older builds are malwares?

I'm using Steam version. It doesn't show any path there.

Hello
MalwareBytes has suddenly started to think that my games are malvare. Even empty projects.
"Malware.AI.2626283202". It started doing that since yesterday. I have had MalvareBytes in use way before.
I've tried reinstalling Clickteam and it didn't help.
I don't know if this is related, but I used "Expression Evaluator Object" (ExpEval.mfx) and Xlua (xlua.mfx) yesterday for the first time in one small project.
I checked the exe file with Avast and it says: Win32:PUP-gen [PUP]
This problem does not occur in previous exe files that I have build before last night

Where is that Temp folder?
