Ask a Question / Increasing number range

« on: January 05, 2015, 11:56:08 am »

Hey there guys, so i was wondering if i can make number attributes hold bigger values than they currently can. I noticed Game Attributes are larger(right?), but i don't want to save the data. Is this possible in an easy way or do i have to make it manually using strings or lists?

Hello guys, i have a custom block made to flip a text, but i am encountering a problem(first attachment). Okay, so i should just initialize with "Int", right? Seems not (second attachment). What am i doing wrong?

Ask a Question / Re: Commas every 3 orders of magnitude?

« on: January 18, 2014, 04:23:05 am »

Even though it was hard to figure out and debug, i made it like this so it works indefinitely(the attachement)
god, i'm so proud of myself, was working on making it happen somehow(i tried all kinds of stuff) then i bumped into this post and here we go hope this helps someone i have a game with really big numbers(it's an idle game )
also 2 notes:
1) you can't make this a global custom block
2)at the end (i don't know why it didn't show in the attachement but oh well)you need to empty the list

Ask a Question / ArrayUtil.insert not working with strings

« on: January 17, 2014, 02:51:52 pm »

I tried using ArrayUtil.insert with a string, like in this code:

Code: [Select]

var tmp : string;
tmp= __Text;
var num : int;
num= 4;
while(num<tmp.length-1)
{
ArrayUtil.insert ( tmp, num, ",");
}
return tmp;Even though strings are arrays, i get this error:
"Implicit coercion of a value of type String to an unrelated type Array."
which i get says "You can't use a string where an arraay should be you dummy"
What am i doing wrong? or is it just not possible?
Also, i could do it differently if i knew how to use attributes in Global Custom Blocks

Ask a Question / Re: How can i flip a text?

Damn i didn't remember that, even though i did something similar while learning c++ thank you very much sir btw if you were asking why, i'm not telling you (i want to add commas every 3 digits on a number (100000000 becoming 100,000,000) so my solution was to add a comma every 3 numbers. i realized that it works from the first digit, and so on (100000000 becoming 1,000,000,00) so my solution was flip the text, do the replace, and flip it back. maybe it's not the most efficient solution but hey, i think it's unique :DDDD)

Resolved Questions / Re: Using lists to get Actor Type names

« on: January 13, 2014, 01:09:23 pm »

Yes i meant game attribute. I know this code needs a string as a parameter, but i don't know how to get a string out of a list only using code.
EDIT: Scratch that, how do i use a game attribute in code?
EDIT2: Pretty simple actually, i never saw a code to use game attributes, but now i know. i simply used

Code: [Select]

getGameAttribute("File") as Numberso the whole code was

Code: [Select]

getActorTypeByName(_Filesbyorder[(getGameAttribute("File") as Number)])Meaning this is solved thanks Rob

Resolved Questions / Using lists to get Actor Type names[SOLVED]

« on: January 13, 2014, 12:55:51 pm »

Hey everyone i haven't been on for a while, but today i got an idea for a game and worked on it for the whole day it's almost finished (pretty simple ) but i encountered a problem. i tried using a code block to get text from a list and turn it into an actor type. here's how it looks:

Code: [Select]

Code: getActorTypeByName(_Filesbyorder[_File])_Filesbyorder is the list and _File is a global variable. This code is being used in a 'create actor type' block. What am i doing wrong? i tried using '  "File"  ' but i get the same results. Please help

Ask a Question / Re: Sword attaching platformer problems

« on: June 05, 2013, 05:21:48 am »

Hey ! i found the problem! In the actual sword actor type, the animations weren't selected properly(i have no idea how o.O). I debugged it so that it would draw text of which animation is playing. when i started the game, no text appeared. first i was like 'wtf?' but then, in the scene inspector, the sword showed that it had no animations selected. i selected them from there, and it worked perfectly .

Yes i did. The sword is attached properly, so the behavior works by there like it should
