    Is that your video? It doesn't answer the question even slightly! Why on Earth would you link someone to that?

    The question was how do you get the X and Y position of an object based on an object's UID. The video just shows an event that says "If A collides with B, destroy UID 3"...

  • Sorry, I don't know how to show an increase without the addition of more decimal points or an increase in revenue.

    I don't believe it's possible. How would it work in the real world?

  • Hi guys, I´m not sure if this is a good place to ask, but does anyone know a good way to show 1.5 k gold intead of 1500 gold? And change abbreviation as the number goes higher? Also I don´t know exactly how to search this on google, I searched number abbreviation and found this tread.Thanks!

    Let's say you have a variable called GOLD. What I do now, is...

    event (If GOLD > 999 & < 10000)

    Action (Set text to left(str(GOLD),1))&"."&mid(str(GOLD),1,1))

    Something like that. Using lefts and mids is a lot easier than having multiple functions and variables.

  • Is this likely to go on sale anytime soon?

  • Not sure why this one just got flagged to me... There isn't a new post here, but curiousty made me look at aruche 's profile. Apparently he's visited this site for the past 307173 days in a row. Brilliant how he's managed to do it for almost 850 years! Fair play to him Tom!

  • I try not to use a for each loop, as it tends to slow my games down. I suppose I could add a time to it to limit the number of loops... less accurate, but it has potential.

  • First pick the highest, then save that value to another variable. Then in a sub event, pick all, then pick by conditions, and then you can use the saved value to compare against with a system - compare values.

    Yeah, I came to the same conclusion after I'd posted, though I had hoped for a single event solution without the need for a variable.

    Thanks though!

  • I can set up an event that reads "If object var is highest - Do something".

    I'd like to be able to have an event that will do something to an object if it's variable NOT the highest. I can check for lowest, but that doesn't cut it. It's a pick event, so it won't allow me to simply invert.

    Did a search on the forums, but couldn't see anything.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks!

  • Is there a way to do a spell check? Looking at the videos, I see you don't appear to have a way to do it within the software itself, so I was wondering how easy it would be to copy the array from your program into something like excel or word, perform a spell check, then copy from these programs back into your array.

    Hope that makes sense.

    Hi ggibson1, Do you happen to know the answer to the above question? I'm holding off on purchasing atm due to this.

  • I know it has been a long while, but I am very interested in purchasing this from you Just had one question, was the coding eventually cleaned up with AnD4D 's final code?

    It was taking waaaay too long to clean up the code, so I started from scratch using an alternative method. Used hardly any code, relying on line of sight and 'lasers' to detect collision. Physics wise, it worked great, but I was never happy with the look of the 'rope'.

    I've used chipmunk physics quite a bit in the past few months... and having collision detection that plugin allows would shave off even more code.

    I'll have to look into that when I'm done with some other projects.

  • Are you running two C2 versions at the same time?

    Yes, that was it! Local:0001 and Local:0002 when I previewed. Phew! Thanks!
