  • behaviors do things every tick without actions

    is there a certain function I use to do this?

    does it have to be a behavior to do this, or can I make objects that 'always' do certain things?

    thanks rich

  • I just figured it might increase the number of objects I can have if the struct was significantly smaller

  • because all it is is coordinates for distort maps

    it isn't an actual 3d mesh that you can rotate

    it also is much more trouble writing a plugin to interpret an existing format than to just make one up

    at least in this case

  • is it okay to get rid of:

    	float			x;				// X co-ordinate (top left point)
	float			y;				// Y co-ordinate (top left point)
	float			w;				// Width
	float			h;				// Height
	float			angle;			// Rotation angle
	float			displayangle;	// Actual displayed angle
	bool			isMirrored;
	bool			isFlipped;[/code:2v972zq8]

or
[code:2v972zq8]
	float			HotSpotX;		// Offset from the top left point
	float			HotSpotY;		// Offset from the top left point
	float			HotSpotAngle;	// Hotspot in polar form
	float			HotSpotDist;[/code:2v972zq8]

if an object isn't going to be drawn at all?
or will it cause problems

  • ok, thanks guys. I'll still make a version of it to help with custom controls schemes at least

  • so does this mean it's not possible? or it's an annoying question? or what?

  • thanks guys

    im making a custom controls object to work with mouse and keyboard as a simple workaround until the official custom controls come out. i can retrieve the value of the key pressed from mouse-keyboard, and reuse it for my own custom movement event sheets. but id like to share it with the community and most people use behaviors for movement, if i had a way to access the control data, and trigger those events, it could work with built in behaviors as well

  • is there a way to simulate a control press? i dont mean like a keyboard key or a mouse click, i mean like up, down, or jump, etc. so my plugin could trigger events as if the actual controls were pressed?

  • nevermind

    got it...

    The SDK is just as awesome as the rest of construct.

  • not sure if this was known, but the image manipulator copy paste to from sprite canvas stuff doesn't seem to be working
