Ask a Question / Re: Help with the actors and tiles

« on: July 24, 2013, 12:54:40 am »

That sounds strange, you should be able to just click on a tile and hit backspace or use the cursor to select a group of tiles and hit backspace. Maybe try clicking the 'work only with tiles' button on the working mode bar at the top of your scene.

Ask a Question / Having problems with Anchor character to screen

« on: July 22, 2013, 03:07:17 pm »

Hi,

I'm trying to add a mute button to my screen, it works fine on most of the levels but I'm having problems on a couple of scenes. When I test the scene the mute icon does not show up. I'm using the always block with the anchor actor to screen block. When I deactivate this event the mute button shows up but obviously does not follow the screen.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Ask a Question / Re: Anyway to set a actor as a sensor for another specific actor?

« on: July 17, 2013, 03:50:18 am »

Not sure if this will help but couldn't you make a separate collision box on your actor that is a sensor that collides with the same sort of sensor on the other actor? So they have their normal collision box and then a small sensor one attached at the front that's only purpose is to detect the collision with the other actor and doesn't react with anything else.

Ask a Question / Look around scene

« on: July 17, 2013, 02:04:50 am »

Hi,

I'd like my user to be able to look around the scene at any point, to see what route to take through the platforms. I've tried basic things like 'if V is pressed move camera to x of mouse and y of mouse but with no response. I've also tried disabling camera follows actor.

Is there a way to make this function possible?

Thanks.

Ask a Question / Save scene

« on: July 15, 2013, 11:43:29 am »

Hi,

I'm looking for some help on saving and loading scenes. My game has around 15 levels, I would like the user to be able to get to a level like 7 or 8 and then be able to quit the game, when they come back they can hit continue and it will take them to the level they left on.

I got scene saving from stencyl forge but don't understand how to use it.

Thanks.

Thanks for the link,

The kill when leaving screen definitely seems to have sped things up a bit,

Much appreciated.

Ask a Question / Lag with lots of actors on screen at once.

« on: July 10, 2013, 01:27:14 pm »

Hi, looking for some advice in cutting down on lag when I have many actors on the screen. I have one moving actor I am controlling then around 25 small actors just ideling, a bit like lemmings. Getting a lot of lag. Is it my computer or can the program not handle this many actors in the same scene at once?

Thanks for any tips.
