Ask a Question / Re: How Can I Drag and Drop Actors & Snap Them Into Place? - Crossword Puzzle Game

« on: July 12, 2020, 03:15:57 pm »

my understanding is that I would code this by checking whether the x-center and y-center of the letter puzzle piece is close to the x-center and y-center of the intended area (region?).

Yes, but I would use simple actors instead of regions or tiles.

My letter tiles are 40x40px - please let me know if 32x32px is a better size to work with.

Both sizes are appropriate, it's just a matter of taste.

If you still haven't managed to do it, let me know and tomorrow I will give you the project file of this game.

But, if you need the ball to bounce from something, then you should ignore my previous suggestions and use this other:

When the ball hits a bubble, use this block: 

And when the bubble bursts, use this block:

Try making the ball actor a sensor, instead of the bubble actor.

When  you 'pick up' a shape:
 
- Create an invisible axis actor at the mouse position.
- Create a revolute joint between the axis actor and the shape actor.
- Create a mouse joint for the axis actor.
- Set the angular damping to 10 for the shape actor.

To get the specific distance between two actors, you can use the wonderful, excellent, magnificent and impressive EasyMath extension: http://community.stencyl.com/index.php/topic,27769.0.html

I use it a lot.

Sometimes I read in the forum that regions can be problematic in terms of performance.
If it's hundreds of actors, I would use Simple actors, or even Minimal actors:

...but I still need the actor to check for that 'active' attribute which it cannot do as it belongs to the scene.

Do you know that you can use this red block in any actor?:

I am unable to understand your explanations.
Can you explain graphically what you want to do? (with images, not with words only)

Your actor was empty. When I add at least a single transparent frame to the actor, the problem is solved.
Now, the text will obey whatever coordinates you set for the actor. Also, enabling the "Allow Scale Switching" option in the Game Settings makes the text look better, without pixelation.

You can check it in the .stencyl file attached to this post.

This is really weird. That's literally the only code.

Can you post the .stencyl file?

I would like to check it.
