Re: lingo-l New learner: how do write a handler that inserts text memebers inthe cast?

2002-12-04 Thread mike m

hi, i am new too, but practise makes progress eh!
to make a handler that will put text into the first six cast members all you 
need to do is this,
first of all make six text fields, name them appropriatly, then to make a 
handler, first make a movie script and type:

on textPutter me
   member(field1).text = blaha
member(field2).text = blaha
member(field3).text = blaha
member(field4).text = blaha
member(field5).text = blaha
member(field6).text = blaha
end

that should do it

Subject: lingo-l New learner: how do write a handler that inserts text 
memebers in the cast?
Date: Wed, 4 Dec 2002 20:35:41 -

Dear group
I'm just starting to learn Lingo (don't have a programming background) and
having worked my way through umpteen pages on the subject, I want now to
create some handlers of my own as an exercise to see how well I understand
the language. So far I have to admit ... I'm not doing very well.

Yesterday, for example, I wanted to write a handler which would insert text
into the first five members of the cast. Could I do it? Not a chance!

I'd be grateful, if anyone could spare a moment and indicate how I might
tackle this - using dot syntax, for preference.

Cheers
John

lingo-l object snapping

2002-11-22 Thread mike m
hello, i am making a jigsaw game (i am a newbie), i have made a grid for the 
jigsaw pieces to snap onto, this works, but the pieces seem to snap to 
whichever grid piece there bottom right corner is in and not the center of 
the piece, i have checked the registration point and that is in the center 
of the piece. i am baffled!
this is the code i am using to make the pieces snap to the grid pieces

on snapper

 repeat with x = 17 to 32
   repeat with y = 1 to 16

 if sprite x intersects sprite y then
   sprite(x).loc = sprite(y).loc

 end if
   end repeat
 end repeat
end snapper

thanks in advnace :)
Mike

Not so basic at all. You need to do something like:

1) create a number of subsequent sprites in the score
2) create a behavior script that that knows how hamy frames has passed 
since the movie started.
3) It's also important that the script can differentiate between the 
different sprites, and that it knows the numbers of the first and the last 
sprites.
4) compare the number of frames passed with the sprite number. If they are 
the same, then set the sprite's loc to the mouseLoc. Otherwise leave it on 
its old loc.

Try to drop this on your sprites. Don't forget to set the pFirstSprite and 
pLastSprite to the right values. It's not optimized, but it works. The 
effect depends on your frame rate and your number of sprites. 50 fps and 12 
sprites looked real nice...  =)
