getMapAreas() demo project is done, share code UPS33MND51
In it, you define areas on the map where layers are to be turned into popups:

And then these bits can be "walked around" in the game:

(I'm working on getting the tags right, only a question of a couple of years!)

It is not the most memory efficient way to go about planting a lot of identical trees, mind. If you have a managable set of possible things to populate your popup sprites with, use the BATS code, generalized. Easier, too.

@vinicity awesome

Thank you all for answering My cuestion

You have to read the latest touch in the array then set your 2d shape/sprite/anything to that location, I also made a character movement function that has that as a option, you can search for useful function library if you want to just have it right now. I recommend looking at the tutorials and command refs inside the software.

@vinicity

Oh interesting thank you very much that may be doable in an on-site situation

However I'm hoping for something that parents can do with kids that aren't present

Thanks again for the link I may start with a local example and then change up

@kat Awesome. Thank you so much for your help.

I got it work now thanks for all the help

If you are Nintendo friends, you do not need to go through the approval process, nor enter the code for the download. Shared projects end up on the Friends tab in Fuze..

This rayCastObject function is really amazing! By treating very large objects separately, I can now use bridges, and other objects that have slopes... To do this, I first place the very large object within the map. Then, in the tilemap, I give each tile overlapped by this large object the same index, so I only need to call the rayCastObject() function once since I know my position within the tilemap! I just have to resize the large objects so that their edges coincide perfectly with the squares of the tilemap, especially when 2 large objects are side by side. I think I'll open a topic soon to talk about my project :)

Thanks Dave, or should I say Mr Bisque? 'drawTextEx( "[cyan]Hello my name is [bisque]Dave!", {100, 100}, 30 )' haha!
This is very helpful indeed!

That’s super cool. Very trippy!

@ben-2-0 I'll give it a look thanks

@vinicity yeah everything is working just the way I need it

Quick one covering the Interpolate in Fuze which i feel i haven't even scratched the surface of in terms of it application and fully understanding it myself but i hope this helps ease people into its usage, will definitely explore it further in future as well as Ai movement as i missed so much.
From my research most enemy movement is done on distance checks and there animation states plus a ton of tricks so much to cover and discover :).

It works thanks for the help!

thanks so much for all the great advice!

I have worked through the tutorials, but most of the activities seemed to be more game-oriented, and as I mentioned, worked in an infinite while-loop.

this is a great jumping-off point, and I really appreciate the comments. thanks so much!

@_λιεχ_ ideally animation states is what your after i didn't want to confuse you, the Gothic Vania sample program provides a state machine which triggers animations when called.
as Richard was saying you only count the frames in the animation so setspriteanimation(sprite,4,8,10) the end frame would be 4.
i added the sprite speed part so the user can't interrupt movement between moves.
i'd be happy to share a program later if your still having trouble to help you get over the first few hills.

So I told my boss there were some bugs in the server and he hired an exterminator to spray it down
