By now it's obvious I really like to use simple components like RenderBeams and Animators :) So... I'd find it useful if the "StartAnimator" would evolve into something like an "AnimatorController" with options for Start / Stop / Pause / Reset. For example if I wanted to have an ...

The autocomplete feature in the Code Editor Window sometimes doesn't show the last entry, see video.

Attached is a quick example ( for Ville ) of how i'd implement* the component ( without adding any new features ). Very nice! This version of RenderBeams would be very useful for making explosions, the current component is mostly suited for various decorations as far as I can see... (Sorry to bump ...

I wanted to ask for this too, I use Simple Animator a lot and having a few other options (like from the link at the end of this post) other than "Smooth" would be super useful. Also the current "Smooth" sometimes barely makes any difference (or at least I have to look really hard...

Ville: You're right, and thanks for the new version!

Kjell: Oh you're right, I guess it just carried over when I was pasting this from my main project. Although in this particular case it was actually useful because it helped to see that the size was slightly off.

In the example, the model should remove itself when variable "Age" reaches 1 ("Age" grows via Simple Animator, it is reflected on the Model's scale). However, this never happens. If the "Smooth" tickbox of the Simple Animator is turned on, it works as expected. <?xml ve...

It's true that such intersections should usually be avoided but I was just after a particular effect - I'll solve it differently. Thanks!

Certain camera positions can cause lots of clipping / distortion when the beams overlap. Sometimes it's barely noticeable, but it can get pretty visible especially if the beams aren't rotating fast. I guess I should always keep the beams straightened to face the camera and disable the ZBuffer in the...

Imerion : Sorry for the late reply, had to attend to some stuff this month... Anyway, is this the RenderBeam effect you were referring to (attached)? As for the game... I managed to implement more levels and fix other bits here and there. I also went through some of the levels with a fresh outlook ...

One that always confuses me is the error that appears when a Condition component tries to process something like this: return ((A == 99) (B == 66)); //originally there was a "&&" (or "||") between the two conditions, //but it got lost during editing... it returns a scary ...

Another way to get the same error is if... see video (admittedly I'm not supposed to be doing that but still, it shouldn't crash).

Right now an "Access violation" pops up after clicking in the empty area of the Component palette (the one that appears in the Properties panel when for example "Content" is clicked on).

Ville: Fantastic, this is great - I'll start using it immediately! (I'll try to make a mockup of what a component equivalent could look like.)

Kjell: Very nice example!

Sounds great to me too!

Right, the graphics should absolutely be updated (still didn't manage to get to it for this build, hopefully soon...). New in this build: levels 5 and 6 implemented + minor tweakings for older levels. Except in the newest levels (5 and 6), the game now actually shows the number of steps required to ...
