    Is there ObjectB?

    I thought facecrime wanted to find a random point on the layout not visible to character. Probably to spawn an enemy there or something like that. Maybe I misunderstood the question.

  • Here you go:

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/5z3l8ud2nn2uj ... .capx?dl=0

    I optimized your code and layouts a bit.

    Global variables were probably not the best choice for storing these values.

    You can replace them with a dictionary. This will allow you to access any of them by ID, for example:

    MyDictionary Set Key ("Value" & Str(slid_line.ID)) to 70

    With dictionary you'll be able to loop through values, easily save to local storage etc.

  • I would do this:

    RADIUS=   [minimum distance from the character]
r=int(random(360))
For x=r to r+360
   xFound=character.X+RADIUS*cos(loopindex)
   yFound=character.Y+RADIUS*sin(loopindex)

   Character has NO LoS to (xFound, yFound)
        Stop loop
[/code:2a553ctr]

This will give you a random point at RADIUS distance. (a random line out of sight) 
Then, if you wish, you can move this point further from the character along this line.

  • Set X to

    slid_line.X+unlerp(slid_line.minVal,slid_line.maxVal, Value0 )*slid_line.Width

    And, of course you need to pick each slide bar and use different variables in the formula - Value0, Value1 etc.

  • Try adding debug output ("Browser->Log") to these events, to make sure they are triggered at the right moment.

    If they are triggered, then maybe your rolling animation gets overridden by a different animation - idle, walking, running etc.

  • Move second condition where you comparing a variable to a sub-event and use Else:

    On tap gesture on btn

    System avatarPicked=3  -> .........
    
    Else
    System avatarPicked=4  -> .........

    Else
    System avatarPicked=13  -> .........
[/code:3qkv17ti]

Or you can actually compress all this code into a single expression using [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%3F:]ternary operator[/url]:
avatarPicked= (avatarPicked=3 ? 4 : avatarPicked=4 ? 13 : avatarPicked=14 ? 21 : 0)
avatars Set animation frame to (avatarPicked)

  • So you have something like this:

    Enemy2 spawn Enemy1

    Enemy2 destroy

    Add another action before destroying Enemy2:

    Enemy1 set Bullet angle of motion to (Enemy2.Bullet.AngleOfMotion)

  • Instance variable is the easiest way to do it. You can also try something like this:

    build a string with UIDs of all picked instances in the first function and pass it as a parameter to the second function.

    Make sure to separate UIDs with some character, say "#".

    In your second function pick the same set of instances using find(function.param(0), "#"& str(Sprite.UID) &"#" )>-1

  • Oh, you are using a custom slider bar.

    Just calculate the position of slid_btn using the Unlerp() function, same as you do in "TextBox->On Text Changed" event.

  • worm1

    To open a capx saved in newer version, rename it to zip, unpack to a folder, open .caproj file in Notepad and edit this line:

    <saved-with-version>24700</saved-with-version>

  • Try Mouse.X(layer) and Mouse.Y(layer)

    Return the position of the mouse cursor in game co-ordinates, with scrolling, scaling and rotation taken in to account for the given layer. The layer can be identified either by a string of its name or its zero-based index

  • Save the values in global viariables. Set slider value to the global variable on start of the layout.
