Check out [plugin] firebase by rex. using the parse functionality in the plugin its pretty easy to set that up, i did it in like an hour

there's a "Parse Authentication" example that basically sets it all up for you.

I still dont quite understand how this is working.

Here's a version of what i posted that DOES work as desired.

If i modify disable either of the "Set IsAnyGroupActive to 0" then it all breaks

In my head here's how i think its working.

The game starts off picking a random wave value (1 2 or 3)

eg: 1

Event 4 checks if wave = 1 AND if isAnyGroupActive is 0 and starts processing those actions

We now set isAnyGroupActive to 1 so that it wont process wave 1 the time it loops through the event sheet again (and theoretically stay processing whatever is going on in wave 1

but then we have it setting isAnyGroupActive immediately to zero again

so im confused.

they way i thought it should be setup was that you would only need to change isAnyGroupActive to 1 once. Then the logic would stay processing in wave 1 until you changed it back to zero at a later point (perhaps after a keypress or something)

But how / why does making it a value of 1 then 0 immediately make this work?

thx CJK

you can have an event that re positions it on every tick. make an invisible sprite called "center" then it will always remain in the center if you use the the position code as stated above, and you can align other objects to it as necessary.

Ok this is something probably super simple but for whatever reason i can't wrap my head around what's going on

I'm trying to pick a different group to activate each time the game loop starts over again. It works once, then starts going super duper fast ignoring the "wait" command in each group.

Is there a better way that i can setup a system that will pick a different group to enable , then when that group code is complete it disables itself, and next tick it will pick a different one?

plz see attached capx and screen shot

It would be awesome if you could sort the bookmarks panel by clicking on the Column name in the bookmarks panel, just like how you would sort file names/sizes etc in windows explorer.

Typically I bookmark comments or groups i make with notes like "TODO" or "BUG" which makes jumping to them really easy if i could sort through all my bookmarks quicker.

food for thought.

rexrainbow - The plugin link in the Parse_itemtable plugin link points to the parse_message file instead by accident

— re: header/body - ok, so if you had multiple games perhaps, and you made the header the name of the game, and the body would be the players stats within that game.
thanks for the quick responses!

rexrainbow - one more question, when playing around with the Parse Authentication plugin, if i use the "quick signup and login" it seems to work, but the browser console says POST https://api.parse.com/1/login 404 (Not Found)
But it seems to make an account just fine

rexrainbow - Forgive me for being new to this awesome plugin of yours. But what is the difference between a "header" and a "body" ?
