    Time triggers (and Delay instruction) were never meant to be used to do animations but I get that there in not other way to do them so you use this. Limit will stay there but there will be proper way to make smoothly moving objects.

    Thanks, awesome to here that we will have proper ways to move parts! is this something i can share with others outside the dev hotline?

    Hey 

    In my game i am using the set interaction entity to detect when someone interacts with a bank safe(exit a vent) I teleport them to a location when they interact, this has always worked fine when testing in the editor but when playing in multiplayer works for everyone else except me. Heres the deal we host from Canada and i live in South Africa so i experience hectic lag and this is most likely the problem. I feel like Lag is effecting other custom logic that i am 99% sure is correct.

    So is lag causing issues with logic? this would be a huge problem.

    Hey

    In the old logic i remember having a very small minimum delay between repeats in a time trigger something like 0.0001 or 0.001 seconds but now the minimum delay is 0.03 i presume this is for performance but it can make animations a bit jittery so I would like to know what the reason for this is and will it change?

    hi a couple bugs i have ran into:

    control dragging scripting segments:

    in some occasions control dragging to duplicate doesn't work. I holed control, click and then drag, my cursor moves but no block is duplicated. When i exit and reenter the logic the duplicated segment is where i dragged my mouse to. This is happening irregularly in one of my global storages and possibly in some others. I can send you a .yland if that would help debugging.

     

    Wrong colors for code segments:

    Some times the color surrounding the code is wrong and it blends into each other making it hard to see whats happening. I dont have much more information on this sadly but i THINK it could be happening when duplicating code and/or duplicating logic.

    thanks Oliver_P1

    Hey all 

     

    This message is my opinion and I am not representing anyone or group. However i am part of a group that entered a competition hosted by tencent, here is my disappointing experience...

    This reply is very similar to the above post but i wanted to bring my personal experience into it.

    Most of you will probably know that quite a while back Tencent hosted a Ylands competition with prizes adding up to 30 000 dollars, thats a lot of money for most of us but not for a company like Tencent.

    Sadly everything did not go to plan, Tencent did not make our life easy.

    Firstly they changed the deadline, pushing it back, which messed with our plans and we stood to loose a couple thousand dollars.

    Secondly they removed many of the prizes it went from 3 places in second in game design to 1 and  from 5 places in third for game design to 1- that is the removal of 8 000 dollars worth of prizes.I felt that my second game could have possibly won one of these prizes and it felt totally unfair to have these prizes pulled from under my nose.

    All this was annoying and unprofessional but the worst was still to come.

    Regardless of the added competition and loss of prizes we still one big 1st in builds and games and 2 second in builds as well, that is 10 000 dollars, thats a lot of money to our group but barely anything to a huge company like tencent

    This is a link to the competition results http://ylands.qq.com/cp/a20180510jianzhu/prize.htm Heres to hoping they don't get changed

    That felt well earned after over a 1000 hours of work from us all but this was not the end.

    MORE THEN 62 days (+2 months later) we have not been payed a cent 

    We kept getting told we were going to be paid by X date but it never happened.

    That's just one of the examples...

    Recently we were told we would be payed half the cash on November the 1 and the rest the nect month then they asked for yet another extension until November the 7 this has kept happening and at this point i cant trust them anymore because this could go on forever

    I want pressure on Tencent to pay us, 10 000 dollars is a lot to us. PAY UP TENCENT

    Tencent is a massive company with HUGE resources and im extremley annoyed with their unprofessional behavior,

    i myself contributed 80 clocked hours(in reality i worked more) to make the 1st place game, i stayed up till 2 am a couple nights because of deadlines changing, all this in between school work;

    Of course all my hard work for has not been rewarded.In conclusion I'm extremely unimpressed by Tencent and will never respect them as an honest company, they need to be held responsible for their actions so im making there actions transparent so everyone can see how they have been messing with us. We need to put pressure on them!
