Okay, I'll give that a shot when I get the chance.

I'd recommend starting a new thread, as this one was about the error on opening preferences, which has nothing to do with the SDK/NDK Android testingness we've got going on. You'll get noticed more that way as well.

Could somebody test the code/blocks in the below code to see if it works? I tried it myself, and it didn't really work, but I think I might have made a mistake somewhere.

You should be able to alter the angle by multiplying the part [absolute value of(blahblah)]. The more you multiply it, the higher angle it will be, though it will never be 90 (it would require x to be set to 0). Moreover, if the angle would be 90, the bullet would never corrected it's velocity toward the enemy.

Since the last post I have figure out it will probably be a little bit better if you put distance in attributes. Easier to read and only calculated once (x distance was calculated twice). So, together with the multiplier it would be something like that:

Code: [Select]

set xDistance to [x of enemy] - [x of self]
set yDistance to [y of enemy] - [y of self]
then the velocity block with atan2(yDistance - ([absolute value of xDistance] * multiplier), xDistance)You can use whatever number as multiplier, 1 will get you the same result as without it (obviously), higher number should make the initial angle higher and number between 0 and 1 should make it lower.

From this forum thread.

Should I start a new thread for those compilation errors, Justin?

Whoops, didn't realize this wasn't my thread.

Hmm. I guess we'll just have to wait for the next public build. I assume that it'll come out relatively soon, considering something this big is bugged.

Are you getting the error when installing the SDK? Because that's been solved already. I'm having trouble getting Android to compile now.

It doesn't work on my end at the very least. There were also people in the forum with the bezier curve block who said that Stencyl's tweening library changed, and that the bezier curve block doesn't work anymore.

Hey,

I've been looking into getting actors to move along curves. The block LIBERADO made no longer works with 4.0, so I'm at loss as how to go about doing this. Does anybody have an idea as to how this should work?

Thanks.

Okay, I did that, and I get two errors on compile. The last log in the attached .zip is the one I think is most important. I found these in it:

WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred
WARNING: Illegal reflective access by org.gradle.internal.reflect.JavaMethod (file:/C:/Users/Play/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-2.10-bin/2v0chm5oshw52qn5d7jjz7lo0/gradle-2.10/lib/gradle-base-services-2.10.jar) to method java.lang.ClassLoader.getPackages()

Are these known bugs that are being fixed?

Is the install folder the "stencylworks" folder? If it is, I can't find a .jar file called sw.

Thanks Justin. You're great!

Cool. Will I get the fixed version if I redownload Stencyl now, or do I have to wait until it gets rolled out with a bunch of other fixes?

...arrays will need to be set again after changing any values.

Like this?

Set Shader to "X"
Set colorCode in Shader to "X"
Set Shader to "X"

Or did I miss understand you?

So is this just a 4.0 bug that'll get fixed, or are we doing something wrong?

Also, how do I tell if a shader is or is not array-based?

What shaders did you try, rob1221? I've been trying to get laserhosen's magnify shader and your coloured rings shader to work. Are those array shaders?

Sorry if I sound like an idiot, but I basically am once it comes to actual code.

So I've updated to 4.0, and I can run the basic shaders that Stencyl has built in on HTML5. However, any code shader results in a black screen on HTML5. Is there any reason for this? Could the syntax in the shaders be old, and thus not work with the newer OpenFL?
