Ask a Question / Glow effect in Stencyl

« on: February 27, 2014, 03:00:02 pm »

Any ideas how to achieve glow effect on an actor?
For example light yellow glow around some object(actor)?

I remember doing this with shadow filter in AS3. But of course flash has its own glow filter

Ok, so guys do you think now the game is much more playable than before? I mean is the difficulty better?

Since it is hard to make it good for people of all age, is the difficulty appropriate for children at least?

You guys helped me understand that actor and scene behaviors are different thing, but since global custom blocks don't work, I will not use them and I will try to redesign my block structure. Thanks for your time.

It doesn.'t matter. I am talking about same chunk of blocks in scene behavior and actor behavior. It is more about design than faulty code/block. And I removed global custom block. I don't use it, neither normal custom block. It breaks my game.

And to be specific, the initial scene sets order for each level for the cards. The same thing happens when I press reset button.
So my initial scene has a scene behavior which sets card order for each level.
But also my reset button which has an actor behavior does the same thing i.e sets order of cards foreach level.

 But yes whatever I think I should remove the same chunk of blocks from the reset button behavior.

Your note is good. I have initialization code in the loading scene behavior, but also the same thing happens when I press reset button which has actor behavior, which in turn resets all data about the game to the initial game state. What should I do in such a case?

Well the point was code reusability. I wanted to create one custom block with one parameter and use it in two behaviors by just passing a parameter. My block part is very big and I use the same logic in two behaviors which is lot of duplicate code.
And @rob what do you mean many blocks doesn't work in global custom block?

Such a complicated thing to do! I created custom global block and I replaced all local variables with game attributes and wen testing it it says: I cannot find method getGameAttribute() ?

Some of the output:

            setGameAttribute("deckType", Number((getGameAttribute("deckTypeList") as Array)[randomInt(Math.floor(0), Math.floor(2))]));

Or should I move to Stencyl 3?

Was this feature available in Stencyl 2?

I just made new custom block and added one Number parameter, but I cannot see it available when using it in another behavior i.e I cannot pass number parameter to this custom block.

I followed this guide: http://www.stencyl.com/help/view/creating-custom-blocks/

I am still using Stencyl 2. What do I do wrong?

Thanks for your fast responce. I removed 10 cards but even with that change it is still 6MB. Previosly was about 9.5MB
I am still with Stencyl 2. Perhaps the memory management will change with Stencyl 3

Take your time

Read carefully: first press reset button because the previous data may be saved so it might not work. Or clear cache.
