@Aidan-Oxley Yes, that's the result. What's actually happening is the passing through of the transform of the parent (world space) to the children. So position, rotation and scale/skew of the parent always influence (or get passed through) the children. In most engines the transparency is also passed through, too.

this is a bug. Sorry! If you preload with a behaviour it will work

Yeah..... I can see where that would get annoying!

You can't do that. Each project is "sandboxed" into it's own environment. What you can do is create a scene within your project as a playground, then copy objects to another scene when needed.

@Deeeds when you tap on a behaviour there's a tab for tags right at the bottom (look at Aidan's second screenshot). Select or create a tag and have all your objects in that tag, then the behaviour will run on all of them. This doesn't work underneath a collided behaviour with the same tag though because it would only run on the object you collide with. Tags can also be used in a loop with "for each" selected, making it Loop over every object in that tag.

@Hamed Sadly, they're not the same, and I found similar info online about the RAM requirements of big images. And, unfortunately, my images aren't the same. Does hyperPad work with the low bitrate image formats that are reduced colour space for each pixel?

@Aidan-Oxley It's the story of my life and code. To say it's infuriating is understating it.

@Aidan-Oxley I did it when it first happened but nothing changed and now when I say this I went back to it and it somehow was fixed. Maybe it was because I restarted my iPad and not hyperPad. Lol thanks anyway.

@Jack8680 I agree, advanced mode would be great!

@Deeeds to convert to a positive you could multiply the number by itself and then square root it, or for slightly better performance, multiply by -1 if its less than 0 and use a set input field. You should be able to still use the original value after.

The backup page is not working again for me. It opens one of the backups but it won’t let me browse or pick which one to use

@iTap-Development Cheers for this, too! Hugely helpful tip. I'm flogging the physics engine, so any/all extra CPU saved is freedom to do more stuff, add more particles, use more graphics, make more sounds, etc.

Yeah I missed all of those.

You could send a screenshot of your behaviours or create a download link to your project (by using the Email Download Link option on your project then copying the link it ends up making, paste into forum).

Free users are limited to 5 layers per scene.

Are you using a joystick for it to shoot? Are you using the character to shoot? For the joystick, you just do the angle of the bullet as an output angle of joystick analog.

You can't delete the items on that list. Also, there is no storage space for that. So there is nothing to really worry about.

Check out these help docs in our manual. They cover tags, and how to use them in a few ways. https://hyperpad.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/202466275-Object-Tags https://hyperpad.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/202467545-Applying-Behaviors-to-Tagged-Objects https://hyperpad.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001430843-Collided https://hyperpad.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/205763199-Part-6-Adding-enemies

@GameCRAZY That is fine, I am making a breakout game (for fun) and your suggestion made me think to have certain bricks in the game that adjust the balls speed when broken. So far I have made regenerating bricks and ball/paddle power-ups. I'm thinking next will be a paddle health bar. =]

There is a bug in the version of Dorpbox hyperPad uses, so Dropbox has disabled this version causing any apps using it to stop working. We've fixed this issue for the next update due in a the next week or two. As a work around you can use the dropbox app to import to your camera roll, then import into hyperPad from there.
