Hello, first time posting here, been using GDevelop about 3-4 weeks.
I have a Scene Group that has (at the moment) two different Tiled Sprites. I would like to randomize which of the Sprites is picked from the Group (and also modify the width of the picked sprite).
Instead of the regular Create Object action I managed to use the Pick a Random one, like this…
This seems to work fine, but when I try to modify the width of these platforms on the Action line(s) after that (either individually or by Group), weird things started happening, so I disabled them… What is weird about these methods:
(A) The platforms/Sprites will randomly change width several frames after creation, and
(B) After a few seconds, only one type of platform ends up being created.
Instead of creating multiple “external” event parameters to randomize these things, I’d like to create a custom expression (based on the Create Object action) to handle all of that (or as much of it as I can) at once.
I have a very basic understanding of how the Extension Editor works, and GDevelop documentation & YT videos have helped but only a little bit.
For starters, I managed to edit an non-default installed expression, and that helped me understand the Extension Editor a little bit more.
I’d like to edit (if I can) a copy of the existing Create Object action, but I can’t seem to figure out how. The only options I can find at the moment are to install (and edit) new extensions, or to start from scratch.
Step-by-step directions would be much appreciated. I feel like I’m missing something that should be obvious.
At the very least I’d like to be able to see how the Create Object extension works in the editor. Maybe then I’d be able to make my own from scratch.
