  • unfortunately, I no longer have the source code

    so I can't update it,

    however, there is hope, because whatever caused this plugin not to work anymore also broke the regular construct controls in the same way

    maybe when those are fixed this will be, too

  • Everything should be in "human readable" or text format, no binary: SVG for image, xml for object/project description etc...

    So it's easier for revision control system, team working, re-use, merging, editing, archiving, etc...

    Yes, especially cap files

    No binary caps, so there can be no such thing as an irreparably corrupted cap file, and an enterprising individual could even make some type of script that automates some tedious cap editting process

    Also, unrelated, but what about giving the sdk a dynamic combo box option for the acetable that allows users to have the choices change the way they can with private variables and global variables. There's a few times when making a plugin this would have been a perfect fit, and I had to compromise better usablility

  • it doesn't like them overlapping because it's supposed to be simulating an approximation of real world physics, where things aren't supposed to overlap

    you can use the 'disable collisions with object' action on each one as it's spawned to prevent this though

    Thanks for the example, lucid. But there was one problem: The minnumber was set to 10, meaning if you were outside of the radius, the variables would still go down by 10. Setting it back to 0 fixes the problem.

    (My main intention for this was to make a explosion splash damage thing. Thanks BTW. )

    yeah, I thought minnumber was supposed to be the very min number even for outside. at the last minute I thought you many have meant min within the circle, but I figured you'd just change it like you did if that was the case

  • > Nice work! A side note - this did quite annoyingly hijack my mouse. I reccomend you stick an escape function in there.

    My bad. You can quit however with Alt-F4 (What I've been using)

    the new rawmousemovement plugin makes it so you don't need to center the mouse to keep track of movement:

  • wait wait, this phyxes the physics thing is getting way out of hand

    it was meant to be a little, hey sol, wanna try this out kinda deal

    if half of scirra uses an altered physics, and the other half doesn't, it's going to be a disaster of epic proportions

    seriously.look it's already messing stuff up

    on another note

    neat balloon quazi

  • requires behavior mouse?

  • well, they're just as directly in construct as any other plugin

    if you mean for this plugin to directly control behaviors with no extra events

    I didn't add that feature because I'm waiting to see what davo does to fix the control system before I do that

  • I think that only updates to the latest "stable" version

    the very latest version is always stickied at the top here:
