These are great resources thanks Phi

Hey,

I've seen an example of a Lacewing/Bluewing C++ and Python server, but since C# is my favourite language, I thought I'd ask if anyone was interested in putting together the foundation of a C#...

Holy smokes I can think of so many instances where that would be useful, nice job man! I'd love to test it and get my hands on it.

Thanks, I've just tested your fix and I have some feedback:

* It now works in dx11.
* The values I use now better represent what gets cropped during runtime (i.e. 0.2 now crops what you would...

You're right, dx11 doesn't work.

Just tested it thanks for the info.

It's a bit weird:
* It looks like it works in the frame editor, but doesn't work during runtime.
* It takes a value between 0.0 - 1.0, which isn't a problem,...

I'd suggest implementing your own checkbox and giving them a qualifier, so that they all share the same behaviour. And you can implement any visuals you want in this qualifier.

Hi,

Is there anyway to clip a layer? I.e. A shader effect that can be applied to a layer so that it only renders stuff within a set X and Y coords?

Doesn't necessarily have to apply to a layer,...

Hi guys,

Does anyone have any resources or examples for creating a Lacewing/Bluewing server in any of the languages: python, C++, C# or java (or any others)?

I'm trying to avoid creating a...

maybe restore the animation first then try changing its frame

Thanks for your suggestion, that's given me a good idea. I think I will definitely split the array up into smaller chunks, so that stuff isn't unnecessarily loaded.

After testing your optimization, the improvement is massive. There's now 0 freezing in my application, even when loading that huge array. Thank you so much! :D I've sent you a PM back.

If this...

Yeah I can understand that the array loading will be running on the same thread as the rest of the application. I could pre-load all the arrays at the start of my application, but ideally I would...

Bear in mind that having objects in two separate layers will mean that they can't collide with each other.

Also if you're going to check for collisions a lot, I would recommend doing it in the...

Here's an example MFA as requested, I've zipped it up to include the array file that I'm trying to load.

And yeah it's a big array file, but that's besides the point ^^

Hi,

I'm using the Array object to load an array from a file. While the array is loading, the application freezes and becomes unfrozen once the array has finished loading.

I was wondering if...

Too bad you can't add qualifiers still. Neat to be able to rename them though I guess.

I've had this issue in the past as well. You have to make sure that the list object can never be selected. Make it disabled.

Can't you just run the exe in windowed by default, and then if fullscreen option is true then fullscreen the exe?

Green events have priority over black events, and will run first in order from top to bottom.

Yves I noticed that you were the last person to commit to the Surface object source code. Perhaps you are the best person to talk to about this. :o

There's a bug I've run into with Surface object when blitting as a backdrop.
The transparent area becomes an obstacle when the screen scrolls.

Here is a video demonstration of the problem, I have...

Only two reasons:
1. Rich Edit Object is a Windows object, and it does not display in fullscreen (still functions though lol).
2. You can't make the Rich Edit Object fully transparent, and you MUST...

Hey guys, has anyone made any custom text boxes for their games before?

I made something like this (video): https://i.gyazo.com/11e76185e28ada2e9ef451935dfc7b7e.mp4

It's basically just a String...

To fix it for yourself, press ctrl + alt +delete, and press esc

Looks like you need cos and sin

Set X = currentX + cos(direction / 11.25) * 10
Set Y = currentY - sin(direction / 11.25) * 10

I've never had a problem with creating objects in order on the same layer. In fact I'm doing it now.

Make a separate tool level editor to draw your levels, save them to array then load them from an array using loops.

Just create the objects in order on the same event...

Create object > Player
Create object > Hat

If all else fails, do this:

Always:
Bring player to top
Bring hat to top

Use global values. :)

You have implemented a custom movement for the bullet at this point, so assigning a bouncing ball movement to something you are manually changing the position of, isn't going to do anything. You have...

Use string tokenizer to add a space delimiter, then get the number of delimiters.

Ok so here's some things you need to be aware of.

1. Your character customization screen needs to remember what you chose. So put them into global values.
...

Well what experience do you have with the Lacewing extension so far? If you're able to send a integers across from the server to the client (e.g. X and Y pos, direction value, etc), then you should...

Yes, see the MFA file attached.

Are you talking about how some keys return as "none"? Yeah that's a bit of a glitch with the object, you want to return the keys as integers instead of strings. For example, in the ControlX object:...

Wrap the entire expression with floor(value) :)

Sorry I took a look at this thread during my lunch break.

I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve, but I assume you're trying to allow the player to set their key controls to whatever they...

Why would you do it this way...? Uhhh... I'm pretty sure the value you get from a keyboard input is ASCII, and I'm pretty sure one of those key objects has the ability to display a string version of...

Ok you're making this way too difficult for yourself... Here, I attached an MFA I whipped together in about 5 minutes. Hopefully you should be able to figure it out quite easily, if not, let me know.

Hi,

Bit of an advanced question here. My surface object fills the screen (e.g. 1280 x 800), however just the existence of the surface object gives frame rate lag (dropping from around 1000 fps to...

Yes if you only want the event to happen while the enemy is on-screen, do the exact same thing that I showed here. You're welcome and I hope it worked for you. :) Let me know if you need any more...

Use layers (press CTRL + K) and be smart about the order in which you create your objects.

Go to the event where they make the sound, and add an extra condition

If: "Is enemy getting closer to windows edge" and play around with negating the condition, as shown in the screenshot below:...

I don't think you can change it during runtime

Normally when something isn't working when it should be, it's down to a qwerk in MMF that you've overlooked or were not aware of. Upload an example .MFA and I will be happy to debunk for you.

Yes I can confirm this as shown here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rH0uupWLVT0&feature=youtu.be and can you link me to Clickteam's bug box please?

This looks like an issue you get with the platform movement, which I can't say I've used for over 10 years now. 8-)

What's happening is the Y size of the frames are changing, which if you click...

Yeah sorry you need to be loading map: "ermv2", sorry if I accidently set it to "ermv1"

I use CTF, I'm just used to calling it MMF. :P

Yeah I agree with you, I think that creating a bunch of active objects would be more expensive too. :/ But this is so stupid! If only my lighting...

Thank you very much for the example! :D You know, I never even knew that X Right, X Left, Y Top and Y Down, etc even existed. Isn't this basically the equivalent of collision detection though?

Yes...

Yeah I can't use "if overlapping a backdrop", it lags way too much in fast loops.

Can you provide an MFA for what you're talking about? Maths is not my strong suit. :D

This is more of a math question than anything, but I was wondering if anyone had any solution to checking to see whether or not a point is inside a 2D cone?

Still faced with a problem of screen scrolling around a giant 200 x 200 level though and frame lag issues. Would be nice if I could ONLY draw what was in view.

Thank you Jeff, you have fixed it for me. :) Problem solved now!

Thanks everyone!

I've tried a few different ways but nothing has worked. Do you think you could be a bit more specific please? If not I'll carry on trying.

Thank you

Hi FVivolo,

I just did as you said and it has now installed successfully. First I installed the MMF2 one then the Fusion 2.5 as shown in this screenshot:...

The official Android Export module? I cannot find this, as I linked in the screenshot above I seem to only have a beta version. Where can I find the official one?

I tried downloading both of these files and they both seem to be the same file (they have the same final name):

I have the official version of Fusion 2.5 already installed. I have also downloaded the latest Android Exporter as you helped me earlier (thanks for that).

What do you mean by the official version...

Don't get me wrong I appreciate your replies but I just really wasn't expecting pinball movement. :P

Seriously? Pinball movement is used for platformers, for top downs you would use a bouncy ball movement at least! Plus, it needs 360 degrees, I was thinking more of having 4 detectors and spreading...

No I'm making an online 2D side scrolling shooter and it need to be in a 360 degress, it needs a custom movement and it needs to be 100% precise. No nooby pinball movements, I'm kinda shocked you...

Seriously, just make a custom platform movement it really isn't that hard and the possibilities are limitless...

Try turning off your firewall, or updating your MMF2 Dev manually...

Yes the crates have to be an active object obviously... You just need to make it so the player or whatever objects can interact with them, in terms of collisions.
