Hi Clickteam community,

Pleased to share with you my Fusion game "The Final Specimen: Arrival", now featuring its bizzarro barnyard-mode, "The Final Horse"! The game is available on Steam for PC,...

Question re: Fusion audio engine - at what dB or LUFS level does the audio engine start to limit the output?

I can't open the XML-to-Array editor. I get a message that says "Cannot load EasyXML.mfx. This object may need an external program or library not yet installed." I've read some posts on this that...

I have an event that has something like 15 conditions. I am using an OR operator to create the same list of conditions again, but change one single condition in the list of 15. This requires me to...

This is an interesting idea. Something I'd forgotten about and haven't mentioned is that I am using a shader pack to add 1 pixel outlines to my text. As a result, I am unable to fully crop the...

I have built a full game and suddenly for no reason, some of the objects randomly and inconsistently display the wrong animation frames. The objects in question do use qualifiers which I've heard...

The menu is too integrated at this point to change how it actually works. This really shouldn't be happening, it's completely illogical. And it only happens some of the time, to the point where I...

I've found a solution that seems to be working for the majority of the frames that use this menu - turning off "force load on call for all objects" in the frame properties. Turning off 'load on...

I have an in game menu that can be opened in any frame using Global Events. For no conceivable reason, when I open it while running the full game (doesn't happen when I just test an individual...

I'm trying to spread value 1 in my object's value A, and when I look at the debugger the object values display 2, 4, 6, 8 etc. Can someone please explain this for me? Thank you.

Sorry for the thread bump here -

Hmmm, so it seems like the capture folder I created was the issue. I moved the capture folder to the desktop and was able to complete this task no problem.

I need to capture an entire cutscene (each frame sequentially) using the Screen Capture Object. I was able to accomplish this in the past, but I'm running into difficulty now as it only seems to be...

Hi Mario,

Thank you for this tutorial and apologies for the thread bump. The one problem I had with this solution is that when I reach the edge of the frame, the background appears to "jump"...

Many questions regarding layers...

My first question is about creating a custom background scrolling system. Is it more efficient memory-wise to do this than using layer coefficients? If I, for...

Thank you AyreGuitar. Can you explain why you included the "Never" condition? Just experimenting - when I removed that condition, nothing appeared to change.

Here's the download link to my MFA. You will see that when you click and hold on the punch or jump buttons, the actions repeat. I am looking for them to have the same functionality as the "upon...

I am having trouble simulating a single tap. Event is simple:

Brilliant! Works like a charm, thank you!

Still not working. Here's a screenshot of my events.

My problem seems to be that the fastloops run by the system are only looking at the value of the latest created Projectile object. Thus, when a new Projectile is created, the ones already on screen...

Anyone? Seems like I'm missing something fairly simple.

Events are:

'Enemy' "Throw" Animation Frame = 4
- Create 'Rock' at (0,0) from 'Enemy'
- Set 'Rock' Value A to ((X'Player' - X'Enemy') / 15)

Always
- Run Loop "Rock Horizontal" Abs('Rock'...

I have loops that define horizontal and vertical movement for a projectile object using alterable values. Problem is, when a new projectile is created, the projectile already on screen takes the...

Disabling release mode did the trick, and when I made a new keystore file and enabled release mode, it also worked. It may have been something to do with how I made the first keystore file, maybe an...

Through trial and error I believe I have solved the problem. When I load the old MMF2 MFA into Fusion 2.5 and uncheck "include global events" for all the frames, then save the project and reopen,...

Interesting situation here... I am using the "Get Last Active Joystick" command to program Fusion to read the controller. So for instance I have an event that reads:

The window size is 1136x640, and the frame in question is 20000x800.

I suppose there's nothing dynamic that needs to happen, although I'd want to preserve the quality of the video. Which video extension would you recommend using?

I see what you mean now Yves, however given the colossal amount of objects in the frame(s), I'd basically need to duplicate all that data and put it into the frame in question, which would more or...

Could you expand on what you mean, Yves? How do I add hidden objects?

FYI, I actually found an extension called "The Big Box" that allows you to control refresh rate.

That seemed like a good idea Jester, but still having the same problem.

Still not having luck here, can I post my .mfa and see if someone can track down what is causing the slowdown? According to the xcode memory reading its somewhere at 130 MB, which is way too high.

@Fanotherpg - I don't know why I never noticed that, thanks!

@ Shawn and oruga - instead of resizing my graphics, would using the window control object to resize my frame to lower resolution...

ok, the problem is resizing all the graphics without getting ugly pixelation. is there any easy way to do this?

I'm doing several projects right now, one is for the iPhone/iPad - will that run better on a rectangular dimension like 960x640, or will it play just as well on a phone if it's 640x480? The only...

OK. I had been doing it at 800x600, so I can try to bring it down, although I know there are some full screen graphics that will have to be resized so they aren't cropped out.

By "lower the resolution" do you mean just the window size? Thanks for these many suggestions!

The problems definitely seem to be most prominent when loading graphics. Chopping them up reduces the lag when they actually appear in frame, but overall memory usage still amounts to the same sum...

Reducing the always condition, good idea. As for loops, I do have many running for my main character, but nothing else. Is there a way to arrange the loop events that can make them run smoother?

I've looked at several posts about how to speed up the runtime in my application, but I still don't feel like it's running at a satisfactory level. I'm averaging around 200 MB per frame, and this is...

What do you mean by "compile it"?

Haha yeah glad to know I'm not the only one trying to teach Japanese to a monkey here. I'll look into Anaconda. Out of curiousity though, is there in fact a way to get .app files from MMF2?

I don't understand it either, I'm trying to have them put me in touch with their web developer so I can get more specific details. It's not standard to download a flash file for use on the desktop...

Another detail - they don't have the bandwidth to run the .swf embedded on the site, so that's why they want it to be downloadable. Anyone know about embedding download links so they can download...
