Ask a Question / Re: How do I randomly place actors on a grid without them colliding?

« on: November 10, 2024, 12:28:37 pm »

Code: [Select]

Set row count to 0
For each item in columns (this is the primary list, items becomes your rows list).
-set blue count to 0
-set red count to 0
--for each item in item (the first item block now contains individual cells).
---if item = 1, increment blue count
---if item = 2, increment blue count
-if blue count >= 6, call an event to clear the column, setting the cell values to 0.
-increment row count
Rough pseudocode, checking for full rows. If you can implement that, you'll be able to expand it to check for columns as well.

One list with 6 items. Each item is itself a list with 6 more items (call these one cells). Each cell can have a value of 0 (empty), 1 (blue block) or 2(red block). You'll be manipulating numbers when you move the rows and colors, not actors.

The actors are displayed on top of that, either by animtions on based on the cell value, or by sliding the created actors as you move the rows.

This would be the base for my implementation.

Update to Stencyl 4.1.4 starters.

The Stencyl server is the better way to get assistance nowadays: https://community.stencyl.com/index.php/topic,48592.0.html

I haven't done a fresh install in a while, but my guess is that you are trying to run for desktop and you haven't installed Visual Studio with the C++ tools. It should testafter everything is set up: https://www.stencyl.com/help/view/publishing-standalone-game/

Test on HTML5 or Flash should be more straightforward, as they have less dependencies.

Yes, you can repost it in the help channel. Be aware that "recovering" old games like this might not be a simple process.

Discord is the better way to interact with the community nowadays: https://community.stencyl.com/index.php/topic,48592.0.html

To answer your issue, you most likely need to hit the new "Issues" button at the topbar, and click "Fix All". Because it is a game made in a pretty old build, that might not be enough, and you'd have to check one by one the errors that aren't fixed by the issues button.

It's a Tag Mismatch error it seems, but I don't know what to suggest from that. The Discord server is more active and a better way to get help, you can get the link to it here: https://community.stencyl.com/index.php/topic,48592.0.html
You can link to your forum post or post your logs again there in the help channel.

Updating happens every 0.01 seconds. There is nothing restricting your if statement during the first wait time, so it is not happening as you think it is. You can confirm it by adding print statements and checking the game controller.

This tutorial covers timing for the updating event, it ought to explain what to do: https://youtu.be/j10SMwy2prM

Steam and itch.io are the first ones that come to mind.
