I followed the steps. I'm running standalone developer and it doesn't crash for me (I'm on Windows 11).

Thanks Mehrdad, I apreciate your support :)

Thanks for the congrats. The main character is an original creation of mine, strongly influenced from a piranah plant. The rest of the graphics are adapted from the original game.

Nice work, awesome to see your new inovations included in your update.

Thanks Linky, much appreciated. I wish I had something like this when I made a pang game years ago. Maybe it's time to revist it :)

If you mean like simoon says - Try this one from Zentaco http://almightyzentaco.com/simon-says-video-tutorial/

How's your widget coming along? No pressure I'm just interested as it would be super helpful for future projects.

There are some really cool camera effects in your game. I’m impressed XD

Looks very promising - thanks for making it open source.

If you want to keep it with a built in movement, you could change the movement from Pinball to Physics Bouncing Ball Movement - that way you'll get more control.

Seems to work fine. My belief is, if it works use it until you find a better way. There’s always multiple ways to get similar results. Looks like a good enough solution to me.

Just add line 5 to frame 2, seems to work and the speed of falling is much the same.

You're not bothering me. I can only give suggestions, they may or may not help. By the way here's my cool down method, it does work, it just depends if you can implent it, or if the solution fits...

Yes that's pretty much it. You migh have to play with the speed the alt value gets subbed to find a good delay, yet it should work.

You'll only know after testing.

To keep it simple you could even set up a alt value that that gets set to a number, lets say 3 and every lets say 10th of sec sub 1 from it. If you had the...

Can you post an example, it might make it easier to try out possible solutions.

Very useful, thanks for the share.

No, on closer inspection mine makes the player jump (warp through the obsticle).

No problem, glad to help.

I just duplicated line 36 and used a less than and equals to. It fixed it :D

@MEHRDAD
Can you provide a video example of what your after and perhaps some sprites? I kind of know what you mean yet I need a reference; then I'll see if I can implement it :)

Sure, no problem. The Deactivated lines set the player direction by angle, the near identical lines below the devactivated lines use the built in direction by dividing the angle value by 11.25
...

Is this what you're after?

31061

Not sure about the logic but if you add a negated mouse pointer over Active, restore animation frame of Active, it will work.

I found this suggestion on the forum. In order to change the angle back to a direction value divide it by 11.25

Care to share a small example. It will be easier to find a possible fix. When you say audio, do you mean a typing effect or an actual voice over.

I sent a PM, I'm sure I can help you get it sorted.

Wow, that's a great effect. Nice work :D

3058730587

Not sure if it's the solution, yet have you set Hebrew as your language in the build settings?

You may already know this, but you can change an 'Edit Box' to read only in its properties.

try this kind of idea :)

30501

Agreed, I’m fairly certain I can’t remember it behaving like this in the past.

Can't explain why, but you can force the frame to 0, and then restore animation frame to get around your issue. It seems, it remembers the last frame it was on when it changes direction.

That's a classic, what a clever idea X)

It's really neat what you've created. I had a look but I can see you've fixed it already. I couldn't work it out, when you say the problem was on line 40 what value did you need to add to get it to...

Have you tried to play with the (ball.bounce) security option of the bouncing ball. The chaos might be because it's set too high.

Good sugestion, the link I posted suggested that, and it's what I went with too

You could use this approach, I’ve used it before for a random name generator and it works well https://community.clickteam.com/threads/72535-Random-Number-Range-Not-allowed-to-repeat

Have you tried running the profiler to see what's slowing your framerate down? I'd start there if you haven't tried it yet.

The mfa will only work if the files are in the correct spot when it's built. What I'll do is send the exe in a zip. If the exe works I'll post a video step by step.

I tried your exe and it didn’t work. I added your files to my d drive and put them in a folder named TEST. I opened your mfa and changed the data elements by adding your files to the binary data...

That was quick, thank you :D

Awesome start. I can't wait until you've implemented more. Thank you for your share X)

The increased speed sounds ideal. Does the internal list object also have a larger maximum line capacity compared to the original list object?

Oh I see, I just know that I’ve had problems with using groups in the past, I thought that’s what might be breaking it.

If you pull the lines you refer to, out of the group activation it works fine. Your bug has more to do with the set up of groups, than with the code itself. 29804

Looks spot on to me and if it works without any glitches you have a winner. Well done!

Yes that will work, as long as it doesn’t contradict your other code. For example if the bomb overlaps two objects at the same time it may cause what would appear to be a glitch.

Yes I agree it is a problem, as you can’t have an object be ordered in two different places at the same time. If you think of your problem in terms of using layers you couldn’t have the one object...

I’d do a mock up on paper to organise your order first. Firstly by what you’ve described the scarecrow, robot and slime puddle would have to be behind the enemies. Then make sure the bombs are in...

There might be a way to help, yet without seeing the MFA anyone helping would just be guessing.

if you set up a counter to the value of your delay set up you will notice that it's what is causing your problem. I added a trigger value in the ball that should make the delay run more smoothly....

I can confirm deleting line 3 and replacing with another blank empty comment also stops the crash. This more or less confirms it's more to do with the conversion.

I could be wrong but by the icon of the .mfa it looks like it may have been originally an older build; maybe the games factory? Perhaps the problem with the comments not being compatible had more to...

You could post a MFA, stripped down that just shows the problem. Just a guess, does your sign active have any animation? if it does, I’d check that the hot spot hasn’t changed in a particular frame.

Hi daryuss, this is not a solution - yet you could always make an active the same colour as the grey on the road & the exact size of road ie. that fits both the fat and skinny road sections. If you...

Nope, I've never seen that sort of problem before and I've gone through a work PC every two years and several brands.

Wow this looks awesome, congratualations.

It was a long shot, I was just interested if it could be done. If anyone know if it's possible please share.

Do you mind sharing your mfa? Just a though is it possible to get an image URL to an active picture Then to an active. It’s a double step, yet If it works it could be a possible work around.

Amazing, this is a very useful extension :O

Awesome XD

Your demo works great, you should release it for sure.

Can you put up an example .mfa of the problem, it doesn't have to be your whole game just the problem.

By the way on line 49, I would change it to the player is out of the playing area set lives to zero. That way you don't have to wait for the player to be pushed back onto the screen to get destroyed....

Yes, good point. I suggest trying this. Get rid of what I previously suggested and instead in line 48 add the condition: Set y position on spike_wall2 to Y(position of spikewall1+457)

That way it...

I guess I pointed it out as there seems nothing in your code that makes the player fall more slowly while on the wall.

I haven’t had much time to play with it, yet it seems your applying an x change (horizontal) to the movement while touching the wall yet perhaps you need a y change (vertical)?

It because the physics movement acts independently. If you remove the physics engine it works as it should, therefore the problem is with the physics movement. Perhaps where you have the active stops...

You need to add some conditions when the player collides with the spike wall stop movement (as you have it set up as ball movement). Hope that helps you figure it out a bit more.

Wow, this looks really promising, Nice work. Can't wait to play it XD

If you choose set boid attributes, you can select avoid obstacles. I'm assuming if you use backdrops instead of actives and set the backdrop to obstacle, the boids would avoid / go around them.

Great to hear, was it hard to implement the objects cycling when they are clicked? Do you mind sharing how you achieved it.

If you put up an example I’m certain there’ll be a solution.

You could add another group or groups to distinguish between the objects. That is when you say group you mean qualifiers.
