@bright-gpu-74537 Sorry - I've got another weird situation going on ... Here's my screen right now. The box with the "Choose Technology to Learn" is in a substate - everything else is in the PlayState. Behind the substate on the right there is a box that says "Age I" with a border and "Technologies Learned" above it. That is a

haxe.ui.containers.ScrollView

with a

haxe.ui.containers.VBox

inside of it, 2 `Box`es inside that, each with my customized

FlxBitmapText

class inside those boxes (one has the text "Age I" the other has blank text") TLDR: PlayState contains a

ScrollView

with some stuff in it. I have a SubState open on top of it. The red "close" button on the

SubState

does not work if it is in front of the

ScrollView

which is in the

PlayState

I had the ScrollView up a little higher and when you click the Red Close button, it does not register (like my Learn buttons were doing before) When I moved down the ScrollView (or comment out the

add

on the PlayState) it works again. Also, right now, since the button is half-overlapping the ScrollView, if you click on it on the part outside the Scrollview, it works, but not if you click it on the other half. IMO no ui stuff should be able to respond to input when it's not in the active state/substate... But another caveat is that I spent a bunch of time just trying to figure out how to tell the ScrollView or the VBox or any component to

disable

so that I could even just have a hacky soltion (diasable that object when the substate opens, re-enable when it returns) But I don't see how to do that...

Weird thing, but if I wanted to make a block of code that only runs during debug mode, how would I do that?

ie, I've got something that likes to crash with debug mode but runs just fine with the final release build.

Thanks.

So, this isn't directly a HaxeFlixel issue, but thought I would ask here. I am working in Ubuntu and want to create a .desktop for my HF game. I created it and everything looks right. The .desktop file opens the game but it crashes immediately. I can run the game by double clicking the executable directly. I can run the game through terminal using the exact same path I set in the .desktop file. Anyone here have the same issue or any ideas?

potion like HP bar doing all the highlights procedurally is way harder than pixel art haha

I'm not sure what's the best way going about stacking shapes, especially with alphas

2D makes it so much harder 😅

can I use

.loadGraphic

on an FlxBackdrop object?

i didnt see this btw, just happened to look in flixel to see... reading

so probably my "substate" logic wasnt as simple as i had hoped... thats fine, ill have to create a test app to repro, but that wont for a while (weekend at the earliest)

Is there no way I can 'hack' this by just "disabling" the ScrollZone on the PlayState and then re-enabling it when the substate closes? I didn't see how to do this... or do I just set

active = false

?

i mean, you can set ".disabled = true" if want, but i dont think that will help... it may do... im not honestly sure until i repro

try it

it seems to work

i guess you can

could someone help I am trying to build my hello world project but for some reason when I put hashlink / debug as the build target nothing happens. I am on vscode by the way

Can someone point me to a tutorial or documentation that could help me build an inventory system?

Thats not really a one-size fits all kinda thing

Like final fantasy has a totally different system than resident evil

Are you having trouble with the UI or the persistent management of the items?

I haven't got any items in the game yet

I should make a system for items but not sure where to start

    var itemName:String;
    var worth:Int;
    var stackable:Int;
    var itemSprite:String;
}

class Woodcuttingitems
{
    public static var Woodcuttingitmes;
    public static var woodcuttingitems:Array<WoodcuttingItems> = [
        {
            itemName: "Logs",
            worth: 1,
            stackable: 0,
            itemSprite = loadGraphic("assets/images/resources/" + Woodcuttingitems.itemSprite + ".png");
        },
        {
            itemName: "Oak Log",
            worth: 1,
            stackable: 0,
            itemSprite = loadGraphic("assets/images/resources/" + Woodcuttingitems.itemSprite + ".png");
        }
    ];
    public static var activeSkill:WoodcuttingItems;
    
}

Is this the correct way to make an item list? Trying to add item data with a type def, but im still learning HaxeFlixel and would like someone to point out my mistakes here if possible :)

There isn't really a 'correct' way per se to do it, you can do it in many ways. What you did is fine, you can also have it as a json file and and parse it on load

Will make the code cleaner imo

Wouldn't a json file make it easier to cheat as anyone would be able to open and edit the data?
