Ask a Question / Why do large atlases cause crashes?
« on: October 08, 2014, 09:02:13 am »
I've read a little about this issue, but I still don't understand why meaty atlases 12mb+ will cause a game to crash on mobile devices. Can anybody simplify?

Ask a Question / 10 second delay before loading?
« on: September 24, 2014, 08:38:35 pm »
Hi guys,

I'm experiencing an exactly 10-second black screen before my game runs on android. Unfortunately I cannot seem to generate any logs to post here, so does anyone know if this is a common problem/has something to do with the loading screen, and possible solutions?

Thanks a million,

Ask a Question / Android: Difference between running process and cached?
« on: September 23, 2014, 08:40:09 pm »
Hi guys,

I've been monitoring my stencyl-built app's RAM usage and it seems to be high at 50mb. But i noticed other apps had similar numbers, but they are chached while mine is running (active). What is the difference, can I change it, and should it be something for me to worry about?

Ask a Question / How to make a bobblehead
« on: September 22, 2014, 07:53:10 pm »
Hey guys,

I'm brainstorming how to make a bobblehead where when you swipe the chracter's head, it bobbles. I'm thinking of setting it as two separate actors (the body and the head) and making it so the head moves side to side when it is touched. Any ideas how I can accomplish this?

Thanks,

Ask a Question / Simple Text Wrap behavior
« on: September 14, 2014, 09:25:03 am »
Hi guys, I've been looking through the forums for a simple way to wrap my text, but it appears I'm too dense to grasp many of solutions posted here.

Does anyone have a simple way to wrap text? My text events are pretty basic - just "draw text (way too long to fit in a single line so need help) at x:0 y:0"

You'd think after half a year here I'd be better at these kind of things  :D

Ask a Question / kill-based scoring
« on: May 23, 2014, 06:36:05 pm »
I bet this has been asked before but I can't find it on the forums.

I'm using a kill count to increase score so basically:

If KILL COUNT = 2
Set Score +10

So of course this continues to increase my score until I kill another enemy, which breaks the chain. How can I fix?

Does anybody know where I can find some sample games? The ones on stencylforge are few and note very useful.

Ask a Question / Decreasing random numbers
« on: May 12, 2014, 06:47:42 am »
Hi guys, gotta pretty simple problem that i'm having a headache over. I'm trying to make a Russian roulette game with 1 round and six cylinders. So the behavior to see if pulling the trigger is

[choose random number 1-6]

But how do i make it so that after every shot, the odds are reduced by one?

Ask a Question / Constant Animation
« on: May 01, 2014, 08:59:32 pm »
I have what I suppose is a relatively easy problem, but I cant seem to figure it out. I'm making a mario-esque game and I was wondering how I can set it so the walking (idle) animation is always in effect. For example, jumping or fireballing won't interrupt it.

Thanks!

Ask a Question / Update 3.0 Slow Test Launch
« on: April 30, 2014, 04:48:42 pm »
Having many problems switching over to the newest update, but why is testing a game so slow to load. Takes a minute to save, compile and load now compared to the previous version.

Ask a Question / Why won't my extension work?
« on: April 18, 2014, 08:43:02 am »
Downloaded the admob extension in a winrar .zip, click install through the extensions tab in settings. Doesn't seem to do anything. Am I missing something here? I have the latest version of Stencyl (downloaded yesterday).

Ask a Question / Animation re-sizing
« on: April 04, 2014, 05:51:22 pm »
Hey guys, got what is probably a pretty dumb question. When i import animation frames (from a program such as spriter or MS paint) each frame is a different size so I have to resize them in the external stencyl editor (pencyl). This is pretty difficult and tedious. Is there an easier way to do this?
