Instructions:
updateParentBlock(id, x, y, width, height, z);
This code sets/updates the initial variables of the ParentBlock ID.
snapToParentBlock(id, offsetx, offsety, offsetz);
This sets the actor's X and Y equal to the blocks X and Y, plus the offsets you specified. It also alters the Z depth, which can also be offset.
drawParentBlock(id);
This is used in a canvas, make sure to stretch the canvas to the views size.
Copy the code to your global code, and name it something fitting.
- Code: Select all
//Creating the struct
typedef struct {
int x, y, width, height;
double z;
} parentBlock;
parentBlock ParentBlock[9999];
//Struct Creation
void updateParentBlock(int id, int X, int Y, int Width, int Height, double Z) //Set the initial X and Y, or update it.
{
ParentBlock[id].x=X;
ParentBlock[id].y=Y;
ParentBlock[id].width=Width;
ParentBlock[id].height=Height;
ParentBlock[id].z=Z;
}
void snapToParentBlock(int id, int offsetX, int offsetY, double offsetZ) //Snaps an actor to the given block, technically "parrenting" it. Also effects Z depth.
{
x=ParentBlock[id].x+offsetX;
y=ParentBlock[id].y+offsetY;
ChangeZDepth("Event Actor", ParentBlock[id].z+offsetZ);
}
void drawParentBlock(int id) // Use this in a canvas to debug/draw the window, stretch canvas to views size.
{
moveto(-view.x+ParentBlock[id].x, -view.y+ParentBlock[id].y); //Honestly don't know why it has to be negative.
lineto(-view.x+ParentBlock[id].x, -view.y+ParentBlock[id].y+ParentBlock[id].height);
lineto(-view.x+ParentBlock[id].x+ParentBlock[id].width, -view.y+ParentBlock[id].y+ParentBlock[id].height);
lineto(-view.x+ParentBlock[id].x+ParentBlock[id].width, -view.y+ParentBlock[id].y);
lineto(-view.x+ParentBlock[id].x, -view.y+ParentBlock[id].y);
}
Skydereign will probably notice some more optimized way of doing this, but that's part of the fun!
Enjoy guys.Reason for file size: I apparently used a font that's about 20MB lol O:...
In the demo, you can use left and right to control the box
.
