As the title says. When Multi Line is turned off, the text is correctly centred however it flows off the edge of the object.

However when Multi Line is turned On, the text correctly wraps but refuses to centre and stays at the top.

Any help is appreciated!!!

Hello! I am looking to create a basic Point of Sales software for my job, and they already use Excel Spreadsheets as their data format. There is a fair bit of data that would be nice to still have in this format, as well as being able to be interfaced with by the software. I've seen a few things from around 2010 era but all the links are dead.

I don't mind having to convert to an array and back again, as long as it will work.

Thank you for any help!

Thank you all very much! I've got it working now thanks to your help.

In the above MFA, it is possible to light up all 4 of the left active objects in one quick mouse swipe. This is because they all use the same qualifier to detect when the mouse is over them, meaning if the mouse still happens to be over a different object with the same qualifier during the next frame, it still thinks the original object is being held down as well because the mouse never left either of the qualified objects and therefore lights up both of them.

Is there a way to make sure that only the qualified object that has the mouse held over it is lit up? This is for a touch-screen interface, so the user knows that when the left mouse key is released what one they are going to select, as it could be confusing thinking they could be pressing down all four of those buttons that are lit up at once.

Any attempts at help are appreciated and thank you in advance!!

Ah, thank you! This will save me countless hours of "WTFFFFFF"

I am currently building a game for Windows and am considering porting to Mac an option. However, one of the key features is the bulgy crt-screen effect, and was wondering if you are unable to run certain .fx files on Mac runtimes (same principle as Extensions, like Perspective object is only Win). Only really care about the lens at the moment.

Thank you

Solved! In Frame options...

Just remembered I didn't reply to this - Thank you for your words of wisdom and strangely inspirational quote! People like you help me get better at doing the things I love and I really appreciate it!

P.S. I still think that Arrays are useful for non-invisible data, nobody's changing my mind about that. ;D

Hello, a few months ago I was fiddling around with Clickteam and saw that there was a button that brought up a dialogue box letting you modify, load in (Via an image file) & save your own colour palette. (The big block of colours used to draw art with (In case of confusion)). Has this been removed or am I just blind?

TL;DR: I remember a button letting you load in your own colour palettes, where is it?

Thanks in advance.

Okay, so this is either really complicated or just plain impossible.

I want to make a map editor that exclusively uses array files to load and store the map file. In theory, you'd use one Z-axis to store the details and other information about the map; such as the height and width of the map, size of the tiles in pixels, position in a sequence of rooms, etc. Another layer for the tile-set, like a bitmap image but with each pixel represented by numbers in the array (ideally hex numbers). The third layer would assign the textures in the second layer to tiles, and would simply have each tile represented by one slot in the array, using a number. I'm not too worried about file size, as I am happy to compromise disk space for readability.

However, I discovered a hiccup in my logic - how would I load the textures into the tiles? Using individual objects or pasted backdrops would make loading times unbearably slow, and I simply cannot find a way to take the numbers out of an array and load them to a frame of animation for an active, or something similar.

I believe that if I made a program like this and distributed it, It would make the handling of maps and levels in Clickteam so much easier to handle as the entire level is stored in a single array file.

If anyone has a way of doing something similar to what I'm trying to achieve (or something better), please let me know.

TL;DR Does anyone know how to take data from an array file and save it as a bitmap file to be loaded onto an active object?

Control+S by default mutes the sound. Your {Attack} button is the control button and your {Move Down} is 'S'.

OH MY GOD, I was making a game with this EXACT problem and I was freaking out!!! Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I'm so relieved!

Thank you, this works great!

So, I'm making an inventory set and am wanting to make a string display some data with text around it. The expression I have used does not work! How could I do this in just one expression and one string?
