The impulse clamp is also useful in a situation where you wait for impulses from many different sources but want to let only one impulse through every x ticks, especially if you're triggering something to toggle and the two simultaneous impulses would trigger it two times and make it just go back to the original state.

the impulse clamp is quite useful, the skill game im working on uses one to enable an interval trigger. in my setup i needed to create a simple counter for updating the indexes of several vectors so i used an interval trigger with disable after N Impulses this then goes to some calculations followed by the incrementing index, the impulse from this is passed to an impulse clamp set to the same number of impulses as the interval trigger disable after N and then outputs one impulse to a state event (enable to another interval trigger), the impulse clamp saved me a monitoring generic filter that watches the index counter and also saves me a state event disabling the loop interval trigger.
interval (disable after 10)->some vector updates->increase counter->clamp(to 10,from 1, wait 10)->state on(some other interval trigger)
i see the impulse clamp as a crude filter test, but instead of watching a VDS or something it monitors impulses, its also handy to end an impulse chain by setting the impulses from to 0.

The bit where you put random stuff together and a track comes out! I've honestly only spent 5 mins in the editor before saying to myself, "Nope" this is not for me.
EDIT: Very good idea for a topic though Bazza.

how to snap objects together so they are perfectly aligned.
how to create the cartoon effect like in aones track and a few others.

Does everything count as one?
i've wondered about snapping pieces together as it says it as a tip when the editor loads (eat fruit! is may favorite...) but i figured they meant it is easy when building on the DL or maybe it was PC only...Originally Posted by smeghead89
the cartoon effect would be cool to learn...i've been trying to get a good side scrolling camera for a 2d track. dont know how to set it up just right like aones tracks like with a yellow cam or the blue one. i think he made 'mine' and 'skyline' that had great 2d views and i was jealous.
there are still so many things i dont know how to use about the editor but i still love creating tracks, even with my limited capabilities.
if i do think of something i need to know i now know where to come.

What I would like to understand it:
When you group objects together (say a bunch of fence pieces) and you go to move the group, the camera flies to somewhere else on that group and I can't see where the ends are to line them up.
I hope that makes sense. Basically I want to grab the end part and line it up to the next group.

Editor Settings: disable Focus CameraOriginally Posted by vladiiiiiiii

go into the editor settings and change the focus camera setting, now when you select the item the camera is fixed at its current location, to move the camera, go into bumper select, move the camera and then come out of select, move your object and rinse n repeat the bumper select process.Originally Posted by vladiiiiiiii
