Sorry to revive this dead thread but,
WILL there be multicore/multithreading support?
Referring to what I said above, yes, I understand how MMF reads the events (from top to bottom) like Jamie...

N'aww....so that means it doesn't support it? :/

Heyy :)
Trying to generate a random value that is between 0 and 1,000,000,000... But the "Random()" function and "Randomizer" object don't seem to work, they only generate a number below 100,000......

Heck, sorry for showing stupidity. It works perfectly now. I assumed the note referred to a glitch that would make the character not crop at all/ crop instantly/ crash the application, but since none...

Ah.....I should have read more about it. *hands head in shame*

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the extension ".ogg" do video, and also is free? *does some research*

Heh...I have too many extensions lying around. I have directory packer, along with loads of encryption stuff. I'll give it a try. Thanks!

My project has many many images, ranging from enemies, items, inventories and UI's, map tiles, ect. It has amassed my EXE to be very large, when, without all the images, it's very tiny. I don't want...

Wow, thanks soo much MuddyMole. I would never have figured that out. Has helped me a tonn. Again, thanks! ^^

Heey, I'm using the Crop shader from the "Complex-Software"'s shader pack.

arfa, that image you attached made me understand how the method actually retrieves the angle, which is helpful to me, thanks!

Eliyahu, checking out the guide at the moment :)

Third. Quite interesting if you ask me.

Hmm... I fail when it comes to strings, but, I'll give it a shot.

In this code, there's a string, and a counter. The counter is used to keep track of which number to scan for next, and the string...

I know it's quite lame to ask this but, I do struggle with this type of math, as I haven't studied it much. I'll try to explain the best I can.

When dealing with engines with slopes in them,...

I understand what you mean Pixelthief XD. I encountered the problem when using the Glow shader, and thus, did what you did by making the frame bigger but keeping the sprite centered.

That...

I'm not sure on how shaders work entirely, so I'm not sure if skewing is something a shader is capable of doing, but, is there a way to skew an active object with a shader? Thanks in advance :)

I'd guess that the game could detect if a massive jump in time happened... And if it did, then trigger an event. But then things like Daylight Savings time would mess the game up...hmmm...I remember...

Cool, thanks for letting me know :)

Whilst this topic is still alive, if I were to make all "Out of screen" objects invisible, and reappear when they are onscreen, would that help speed up the application?

It is done in 1 command-

-On One Action When Event Loops
-(NEGATE)Repeat while mouseclick is down
Actions go here xD

Try this instead-
1. Start of frame: Set flag 1 off
2. (One action while event loops) Flag is off: Create text
3. (One action while event loops) Flag is on: Destory text.
4. Check for mouse over...

*bump*

Another way this could be put is that, how could I put all the images into a container, in which I can move, flip, rotate, without the images messing up within the container?

Nono! Thats perfect!! Thank you Looki, greatly appreciated :)
And thanks DT for helping out too :)

Looki, I have experience and looked in-depth into an engine you may have heard of called "Sonic Worlds" which is the most closest and exact replica of Sonic The Hedgehog, I just never understood how...

Whats the simplest way to detect slopes and when the player jumps, it propells them in that way slightly depending on the angle? Thanks :)

Hi!
Ok, getting straight to the point, I have multiple images to form a character, to make him customizable, for a platformer game.
And to position all the pieces of the character together, I have...

Holy **** dude! I have been tackling this problem for months now and you have helped me instantly! Thank you Soo much LB! Can't wait til the day comes where i'm just as smart as you :D

Work's...

Woah, never considered the method of only using 1 sensor for all. How would I go about doing that? And would it still work with about 50 enemys onscreen?

EDIT: Infact, how would I detect wether...

Here's an example, seem's my problem is worse than I thought when starting from the beginning. Any idea on how to fix it?
View MFA

Ah thats right LB, got confused on the two and went with Key Object.

Yeah, the power settings option. Having not touched C++ (Only knowing that there are alot of { and } symbols in the coding), do you reckon I could use the .Net script extension to run C++ code if I...

Off the top of my head, i'm sure the key "Tab" focuses onto buttons per say.
Maybe using the "Key Object" to simulate Tab being pressed when you need it focused? That's probably the lamest way to do...

Looked through my immense collection of 200+ extensions and I couldn't find one that would put my moniter on standby, or switch it off. Not the computer, only the moniter. Is it even possible? :)...

I thought it wouldn't really matter. But your probably correct ;)

Lol!

What confuses me is that the events you must have done would be:

-Always
+Center display at (0,0) from "Camera"
+Position ("Camera") to "Player" 0,0
+Position X ("Camera") to "Player"

What...

Wow. Thank you LB and Greg :) Will try it when I get back home XD

Hi!
Any extension or efficient method that could allow me to do actions when a playing sound reaches a certain time? Example:

I reckon Physics would come under maths.

I reckon MySQL Would come in handy for storing the data. And there's an extension for mmf2 for MySQL.
As for the application, should be fairly easy to create :D

Haha I agree with you there. People here are so wise and clever and always help out XD
Also, well done :D XD

Perfect! I'd gladly help

I wouldn't mind moderating that section of the forum if it came to exist.

The way i'd attempt doing it would be to scale the object, but you say you have already tried that. Explain to me what you tried doing when scaling?

I'm not entirely sure, but I THINK theres a keyboard shortcut to get their quickly.

Fast Loops are your friends :)

Thank you very much LB :)

You have inspired me StephenL. What would be the best method to open other applications quick and easily whilst closing the previous application? :)

Long ago, I made a really complicated system that I password protected in the groups in Event Editor to stop friends from tinkering with it when I sent it round, which i can't seem to remember the...

Before this topic dies, I'd like to quickly revive it, since It's an interesting concept :)

What StephenL said is exactly what I would do, but i'm curious on how you could add content into the...

Elaborate... Are you unable to save your mfa? Are you unable to export your game as an .EXE? Are you wanting to make a level editor? Explain and we can help! Welcome to the forums! :D

Wow i'm suprised anyone actually understood my explanation! XD
Thanks mobichan and LB.
I tried both ways, and both work fine, but LB's way IS more efficient. Thanks both of yers :D!!!

Following on from reading this topic which I found helpful (Yes, proof I use the search tool :D) http://www.clickteam.com/epicenter/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=196407&gonew=1#UNREAD

Now...

Heh, thats your problem mate :)
Try doing the command ALWAYS CENTER DISPLAY AT Y = Y ("player") instead ;)
I used to always mess up with scrolling, but you will become a genius at it soon :D

Heh, thanks guys. At least I know now :D

As the title says, opening an MFA causes MMF2 to open again which is really annoying if im browsing somebodys website and the mfa's don't just all load on 1 MMF... Any way to prevent this?

Didn't know that, though I always wondered why other languages I have used depend on having the sizes of the power of 2. Thanks for letting me know!

It works in HWA but only with Standard, Directx or Directx + VRAM. It doesn't work with DirectX 8 or 9. [/quote]

Yes, that is not HWA. That is standard.[/quote]
lol.

Heh so i'm pretty much screwed aren't I?
Ah well... No shaders for me :(

On the 2nd event you make the Active Bounce, not stop. Once it bounces, its direction is gonna face opposite to where it was initially going. Just change the action "Bounce" to "Stop" then it wont...

My way would be:

If the enemy is overlapping the circle, then, like you said, do "Look in direction of/blah...

Is it possible to swap 2 values?

Wow thanks!
Sorry for being such a newbie, but I have stumbled across an error again.

So for the units column It was a success when I wrote

Mid$("12345", 1, 1)
It retrieved 5

But when I...

Hmm... I lack knowledge on platform movement. Surely that if the character is in the air, he shouldn't be able to jump anyway?

What kind of movement you using?

Launch an action that causes a global value to be set to 0 if NOT jumping and 1 if IS jumping when going to next frame, then, at start of the next frame, do a condition "Global value=0" and if it is...

Seems efficient to me :D
This is great! This question has bugged me for a year now and I never really thought of converting it to a string.
How would I go about retrieving the number from the...

Well, basic question is, I have a string that is "12345". How do i split it up? Tried using tokenizer but I failed.
