line to

[Kalladdolf]

now does anybody know how to simply draw a line from one actor to another?
Since I got con-fuzzled with the canvas stuff, I can't figure it out

Try a code like this:

Code: Select all

int xc, yc;

//Clear the screen
erase(0, 0, 0, 0);
setpen(255, 253, 251, 0, 1);

//From actor1
xc = player.xscreen;
yc = player.yscreen;
screen_to_actor(&xc, &yc);
moveto(xc, yc);

//To actor2
xc = player2.xscreen;
yc = player2.yscreen;
screen_to_actor(&xc, &yc);
lineto(xc, yc);

you could also try using bee-ant's shadow effect. btw, did I miss Makslane's birthday? HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAKSLANE!!!!!!!!!!!

there are 2 problems with the code, unfortunately:
1st, the screen behind the canvas actor goes all black
2nd, the computer starts going slowly when I let the canvas actor have the size of the screen (and move the two connected actors)

To stop it going all black, put in some transparency when erasing:

Code: Select all

erase(0, 0, 0, 1);

I've managed to create some sort of line. Since I'm a beginner it isn't amazing but it does what it's supposed to do. But you cant draw two lines at a time and the can only go like 1-2-3-4 not 1-2 3-4, you get me?

This is my first upload and I don't know if I've done it the right way -.-'
OK u need to place 'stip' (which means dot in Dutch) in a folder called 'data' which you have to make yourself then it'll work.
Oh you need a program called Game Editor too

after a bit of experimenting, I found it out myself.
Thanks for your willingness to help, though!
