Thanks but no thanks, Thomas... I need to change the versions periodically and I don't want to be beholden to anyone for hosting. I need control over where they're hosted, and when they change. I already bug Ashley about hosting the files on the site every time I update. And if I can't get in touch with you for whatever reason then you'll have outdated files.

It's taken care of, for now anyway.

Looking pretty good so far, man

Thanks SuperV, but I need a way to manage the files.

Anyway, WHFF is still struggling with their file issue, so I updated the first post with box.net links. They're not direct links, but I can't find another decent host that does direct links :/

First I haven't found anything explaining

"" & Sprite.Value('var')[/code:26ywxdpp].
Ok ampersand means add to the variable, but [code:26ywxdpp]""[/code:26ywxdpp] means huh?

Well... image points can be referred to by name or number, yeah? And they're named 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. So I added "" to indicate that it was a string, so as to reference the point by name. Then I put in & which is the string concatenator.

Second, every time I add a private variable, it automatically creates an initial value no mater what I do.

So change it in properties. Different instances of objects can have different values in their private variables in the layout.

Or, as I mentioned before, with a loop at runtime. Either way will work.

Or use magic pink.

Okay:

No, seriously... it works. Give the sprite a variable, and number them 1 - 5. You don't need to use UID. Hell, you don't even need to make five copies of the sprite in the layout... you could Destroy On Startup and make a loop that creates five sprites and numbers their var 1 - 5.

Hey now, I haven't been unsuccessful. You can't be unsuccessful if you don't actually try

Give the sprite a private variable and number them 1 through 5.

Try linkman's IK Solver plugin for the arms, instead of using bones, and just use bones on the legs.

I'd like to be able to toggle whether the control scheme for the Platform behavior is default or inverted at runtime. I attempted to create my own manual control scheme to overcome this (by setting input to "Ignored" and moving the platform object manually), but I ran across this bug:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.p ... id=1003219

Yes, the bug needs to be fixed anyway, but fixing the bug doesn't fix the inverse-control toggle issue. If I make a manual control scheme for Platform by setting the input to ignored, then I have to create my own acceleration events as well .

Also, David... don't forget about the "Mover" attribute we talked about

I've already posted a bug report on this. Two, actually

It does mention in that same lesson that you can change the controls in the application properties

That's a good point. I believe David had been working on some kind of tile system, but I think other things got prioritised over it and it's not quite finished yet.

He was, I have the alpha plugin . It's pretty buggy right now though.
