Easy Pathfinding Widget (extensionless)

[schrodinger]

A little help request:
there's been interest in using this widget in iOS systems,
but so far testing on these systems gave contradictory results,
seems like it works fine on iOS10, but completely not working on iOS9.

We'll be happy having some more test reports on any iOS version you may have

https://www.dropbox.com/s/eielj4a1oe...Stest.mfa?dl=0

you just have to pick the mfa above, build for iOS,
launch it on your device and try to move around the little black bugs by touching the screen
(touch a "bug" and then a grid cell to send him to destination)

If the widget works on your system (bug walks to destination),
you 'll see a red string populating with debug data,
that's all fine and we'll just love to know it's working on your device!

If it doesn't work (bug don't move or some weird thing happens)
the debug string *should hopefully* populate anyway with some relevant log information,
then simply hit "send report" button - this will send me that log file so I can try understand what's going wrong

please hit the "send report" button only if pathfinding doesn't work

(..don't know if some particular authorization is needed on iOS for the Get object to work and send the report, hopefully not!)


Unfortunately I've no iOS device to test the widget,
any help you may give is appreciated

Isn't any news for iOS test ? I really need to this test . Special on iOS 9.0

I really appreciate your generous help.

Unfortunately I haven't received any feedback,
waiting for someone with iOS to lend a hand

Anyone willful enough, pls see my last post above,
or this quick summary:

*help needed with iOS port of the easy path widget*

we just need to test this .mfa on iOS devices and know if it works:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/eielj4a1oe...Stest.mfa?dl=0

if it does: which OS version you have?

if it doesn't: which OS version you have + click a button inside the app to send me a report

Yo Schrodinger!

I'll test it when I get off of work. Just came across this thread. I'll post findings!

[schrodinger]

Thanks mate, very kind as usual!
Let us know your results so we can bring the widget to iOS

(hopefully )

Hey Schrodinger,

Darn I just read the above threads about it working great on 10 but not 9. I don't know if this will help in the testing but I just tested on my Iphone 5 and Ipad 2. They both have version 10 and both worked great. No problem whatsoever. I touched every "bug" and made them pathfind as far as possible and it worked great. Really cool widget Schro! Makes me think of creating a "catch the spy kind of game" for ios!

If I could do anything further just let me know!

[schrodinger]

Thanks very much!
You've been very kind Emerson, and I'm glad hearing it woks fine on iOS 10.
This confirms what we were suspecting, that the issue might be with older versions of iOS.
So I think we can now restrict testing to iOS9 or lower
(not too much lower though... iOS8 dates back 2014 so I wouldn't go past that one)

So if anyone with iOS9 could perform above test we would try to go another step in solving the riddle

Mehrdad wrote a bugbox call here some days ago:
http://bugbox.clickteam.com/issues/4176

Fernando double-checked already, and confirmed it's working on 10 and it's odd it's not working on 9,
but we need further tests from iOS9 users to pinpoint and try to understand what's going on.

I love you, Schrodinger! I've been going through so many different examples and tutorials but your work here is exactly what I've been looking for. Awesome!

[schrodinger]

ahah thanks RailedRobin!
Kind words are always appreciated and rewarding


Let me take advantage of this post to reiterate:
if anybody can help with the iOS9 test (see a couple posts up)
we could try understand if it works on iOS9/why it doesn't

thanks!

Yo Schrodinger,

I'm having my first crack at this! I'm trying to recreate a tower defense type game that I played at Olive Garden of all places. Lol. My 4 yr old son absolutely loved this game and I thought, "I can make this with Schrodinger's easy pathfinding example and blow him away!" I'm sorry if this was answered earlier in the post, I tried to read through it all, but how can I make more than one duplicated bug move to a position at the same time?

I'm using your "basic_example" line of code. In my example, instead of clicking on a position with the mouse, I set the bugs target x and y to the position of an active that is across the frame at the start of frame. The one bug I have on the frame goes right to it like it should but if I duplicate the bug, only the original one moves.

And also in the "basic_example" code, how could I set the movement to just 4 directions instead of 8?

Thanks Schrodinger! You're a legend and glad you chose Fusion!
