how do i do it?!?!!?

how do i create a new object?

Can you be a little more specific?

uh i have a bunch of objects and stuff but i can make a new one from scratch

Do you want to ADD an object like an active object into your frame? Or are you trying to do something diferent?

For simply adding a NEW object to your frame, go in the frame editor and from the menu choose Insert>New Object or simply doubleclick ANYWHERE inside the frame thagt you want to add a new object in.

You're question is still a bit vague. Hang in there, MMF2 is awesome once you learn the interface. Please check out my other post .

when I go "insert>object" it gives me a list of objects,it dosen't let me create a new one FROM SCRATCH(not the program "scratch" btw)

Why would you need to create a new one? Just choose one from the list.

uh what if its too limited and I want to make a custom one?

Develop an extension in C++.

There's a separate forum and some examples on getting started.

oh so then where is the forum inwhichyouspeakof my dear jeremy

I'm curious though, in what way are the default objects limited?

And who's Jeremy?

There are very few things you should need to create a whole new extension for. It'd help to know what you're trying to do.

@noobnubcakes

I think it's strange and very likely misguided for you to assume you need to "create an object from scratch".

How can you come to the conclusion that the preexisting ones are too limited for you when you obviously currently have almost no idea what you're doing with MMF in general, let alone the specific objects. The curent limitations are with your understanding of the tools that are in front of you. learn the basics first before you decide you need to invent an all new tool. There's likely already 5 extrememly effiecient tools right in front of you that can accomplish what you want to do.

Why not tell us what you want to do and we'll point you in the rigt direction. Or better yet, watch the tutorials and look for examples that show you how to do what you're after.

You'll find that many people here are very helpful if you ask specific questions.

It is important to know the difference between an object and an extension. The word "object" is often used instead of the word "extension", but when a new user use the word "object" they often mean a new graphical object that they can do stuff with. Therefore I assume that what noobnubcakes actually wants, is to make a new Active Object.

In the Insert Object list, select Active Object, and place it on the Frame Editor.

You can now edit the newly created object by couble clicking it. Here you can change it's appearance by making your own animations. This is called the Animation Editor.

In the event editor you can assign events and actions to your object.

If this is not what you wanted, then please be more spesific.

lol guys.

Obvious troll is obvious. *rolls eyes*

He's probably just new to the software. By "creating a new object" I'm pretty sure he means an active object.

Open the object list, select "Active object". This is the basic object you will mostly use. You can draw a new picture for it or import a picture you've done in some other software like paint - then you can add movements or events to the object.

Which is pretty much what Popcorn said, I just wanted to make sure he understands it :) So you can "Create a new object" by selecting the active object in the object list and then modifying it.
