Title: move objects to positions and make sure they're not overlapping.
Post by: elusiven on June 24, 2016, 05:34:04 AM

Hi there,

So a week ago or so I was struggling with my grid, I managed to use the layout groups to make this all look how it should do.

So this gets feeded from xml, and automatically creates the rows in a grid for words... Max 3 rows and it dynamically adjusts the boxes to fit words too.

Now what I need to do is this: Click on random word -> word moves on position 1, click on another random word -> word moves on position 2 -> build string from these two positions -> compare string to question. 

(So basically, once you click on a word it will go up, on the lines and eventually by doing that you would build up a SENTENCE)

The only thing is how would I position those position points so that they are laying out in sort of same grid but word by word if clicked on?

Thanks for any input!

Hi,
If you tried my sample you could do a same kind of thing
When you click a word use "set parent" to set it to the top line

If you have not tried my sample yet, you can get it on my website (http://www.jinxtergames.com/playmakertutorials/playmaker-sample-files/)

I will continue working on the tutorial when my graveyard duty is done (5 days to go) :)
