I've been trying to make a battle system where the player can paste a image url and turn it into a character.I got a pc version working,but the objects in that don't work on ios (Mainly the download and surface object.).I'm trying to substitute them for the "Get and Active Picture Object",but I can't get them to work together.So if anyone has some advice it would be well appreciate.
Here's a file with the two objects-
Retrobolt - Pretty sure Active Picture on iOS can use the URL as the filename (so no need for the Get object), but you'll need to test on device (rather in Fusion on your PC). I haven't checked it recently so not sure...
Good luck!
AyreGuitar - I don't think it works,I tried it and nothing happened.In the pc version I used the download object which saved the image and gave it a file name that I could load with the active picture,but the get object doesn't do that.
Retrobolt - Works here.
Maybe the image you're trying to load is too big? The Godzilla one in your mfa file is 2000x1000 pixels which is too big for iOS (I think there's a 1024x1024 limit)
I've put together a simple example file that has an Edit box for the URL (currently set to the Google logo) and a button to press to get the Active Picture to load the URL, so you should be able to type/paste your URL to try different ones
Weird,it doesn't work.I click the load url button with your link in the edit box and nothing happens.
Nothing happens on my end as well.@AyreGuitar :S
Strange... still working here. I'm using Fusion Developer 2.5 v285-8 and Xcode 7.2.1 and running on iPod touch 5G (iOS 9.2.1) - maybe your setup is significantly different?
All I can suggest is (sorry if these sound obvious!):
1. Check that internet is working on your device, eg use Safari to navigate to an image
2. If internet is working try pasting the URL in the Edit box (sorry it overlaps the button when editing, you might want to move the button and rebuild!) and tapping Load URL button
(if you use eg http://lorempixel.com/400/200/ then each time you tap the Load URL you should get a new image even though URL doesn't change)
3. If that doesn't work, I'm stumped. Maybe somebody else can help? Sorry!
Good luck!
AyreGuitar,you were testing it on your iPod touch?I was trying it out in fusion and I think the same for BartekB.Can you see if it works in fusion?
Also I'm using Fusion Standard R285.8 and Xcode 7.3.1.
Retrobolt - It won't work in Fusion on your PC, you need to run it on your device or the simulator.
Yeah you're right.When I got it on my iPhone it worked perfectly,but I didn't know that active pictures can access the iOS camera roll.So I'm going to go with that since it's much easier for players to add images,but I don't know how to save images like your game paper face.I tried using your screen capture but it gives me fuzzy messed up images and I can't figure out how to save it to an array,can you tell me how you were able to save images in your game.
Here are two of the fuzzy images-
