TGF/MMF example files wanted
Thu, 08/07/2008 - 6:21am
A couple questions for our users.
Back when you were a new user what were some of the biggest obstacles you encountered trying to figure out how to use MMF/TGF?
Programming games with MMF/TGF is pretty easy but its also a bit complex until you understand how everything works together. I would love to increase our example files so new users get a good head start on making games.

When I started using KnP, I used a strange procedure instead of "set position":
- always
+ destroy Active object
+ create new Active object at Active object
It worked a bit...

I was shocked at how many regular users didn't realize that after an active's disappearing animation, it is automatically destroyed. It's the only way I manage to create particle effects nowadays, lol

Importing New Graphics Librarys:
1. Get the graphics library up (skip this step if you have already done this) by going to:
View Menu > Toolbars > Library Window
2. Right click above the "Objects" tab on the library window and select "New".
3. Select a folder in which the mfa file is in with the selector.
NOTE: If you only certain mfa files to be included in the library, make a new folder and put the mfa files that you want to include in.
To Make a Graphics Library:
1. Open TGF2/MMF2
2. Add an active for every graphics that you want to include then edit the actives to make the graphics.
3. Save the mfa into a folder.
NOTE: You can include extensions and objects in the mfa file. These will be included in the graphics library.
Thanks for reading

Has anyone got any cannon shooting example?
One whee you set the angle/power?
Like a game called Kitty Cannon.
Always > Scrollings > Center window position in frame
Took me a good long while to figure that one out when I first started with TGF... I have no idea why though. :S
