Can somebody please make an extension that is the Vector Equivalent of an Active Object (Like 3D Mesh is the Model Equivlanet of the Active Picture Object).
Features Needed:
Curvature - For Circles etc
Vectorscript - Can load a Graphic from a script thats easy to understand.
Thanks.
What about Sphax Vectorial Shape? You can draw that stuff with it, and it supports SVG, a text file format for vector graphics, based on XML.
Can you load internal graphics from text? (Like say a string.)
Dragonguy, you don't make sense.. But I'm certain Sphax Vectorial Shape is perfect, however it is currently in the beta stage.
Sphax Vectorial Shape object can display vectorial shapes and load/save them from standard SVG format. :D
how exactly? I tried loading an .svg file yet it didn't display anything at allQuote:

Sphax can it please load Graphics internally somehow please!
Coz your the best extension maker ever and your not afraid a simple request are you? of course not.
I imgaine there would be numerous ways to do it, like have an action which requires you to pick an ID off a string and loads that or have an action which requires a text expression and then loads that, don't mind which. Thanks.

EDIT: Like Looki said, VectorialShape object can only load/save and display only one shape (one vectorial element). Also the load/save feature to SVG format only support basic elements types (lines, polylines, circles, ellipses, rectangles and polygones): it don't supports "path" (that's maybe why it don't load anything sometimes).
Great Your Extension is Perfect, when will it be finished?
Where can I download it?
Where can I learn SVG?
Can it have an update for curved lines at some point, (that would require 3 Positions instead 2) please.
If you searched a bit on the forum, you would have found the post where I have released the beta of this extension... But since I know it's easiest to get the things from others directly in the mouth here is the post related to the requested extension...
SVG is a common vectorial format defined by the W3C (More information about SVG). It's a very well known format and it's used a lot by graphic programs.
Stop asking for things that have already been developed... Before asking, check if what you are asking for already exists or not... VectorialShape object CAN manage curved shapes (since it can manage circles and ellipses as I've already said...)Quote:

sphax, you're the best. can you explain physics to me, im stuck too ;)
I am currently creating tutorials about the physics object here: http://www.gamebuilder.info/world/content/physics-object-basic-shapesQuote:

Beacuse you need like 10 Sphax Vectoral Shapes to make a player object, you should be able to have more than one vector graphic per object making it much quicker.
I have to say, Jamie and Sphax are equal in extension-making quality.Quote:
