[Plugin] Matcher

Hello everyone,

This is my first post and my english is'nt very good so don't be too rude with me.

I try using he matcher for a bubble shooter like with the hex board and the matcher. But i can't figure out how to make the 2d paterns works...

My project works quite good with the "for each N symbols" but it's not exactly what i'm tryig to do since there could be other matchs than inline match...

I try following the bejeweled with the paterns and adapt it for my game, but it does not work.

So, i have some questions:

Does the matcher works with chesses?

What the matcher campares? Because if i send him different animations, he find nothing but if all my assests are in the the same sprite but on different frame it works.

Is there a special syntax for the paterns on multiple lines?

Thanks in advance!

And a special thank for Rexrainbow and his plugins, it's very usefull!

Problem solved!

It came from the way i was calling the matcher...

Hello,

I was wondering if there is a way to find X+ connected tiles (not especially in a row, ref. flood fill algorithm: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flood_fill) ?

Thanks

Rexrainbow or anyone else

RexRepo_v2 does not work on my Windows 8. What do I do?

Can someone provide a comprehensive list or more examples of matches. For instance on a 5x5 board what would be the pattern for:

V shape

A Shape

X shape

L Shape

Z Shape

I don't fully understand the example for the T shape provide in this thread

Thanks!

T shape is

ooo
xox[/code:36j631qq]

and you might rotate this shape 90 degree
[code:36j631qq]xo
oo
xo[/code:36j631qq]

Or ini a 3x3 array
[code:36j631qq]ooo
xox
xox[/code:36j631qq]

[code:36j631qq]xxo
ooo
xxo[/code:36j631qq]

You might list all 4 possible directions

Thanks Rex - That make a ton more sense. Now I have another issue. The sprite does not flash when the matcher finds a match. I know the code is executed and debug is incremented. Scratching my head on this one. Any thoughts?? I'm sure it's something fairly stupid I am missing.

Try put condition "Has any 5 continuous symbols matched" under action "Get matched tiles", or use trigger condition "On N symbols".

Thanks — Changing the condition to "On N Symbols" did the trick

Hi,

I re-wrote the document of this plugin.

Update

Add "Action:Update cell by LXY", "Action:Update cell by chess", "Action:Update cell by chess uid" to update a symbol at dedicate cell indexed by logical XY, or a chess object, or a uid of chess.

These will trigger "Condition:On get symbol" once.

i am going nuts here !!!!

Rex, i am missing something here but i just cant figure out what!?
