or instead you can create it invisible and after set the opacity and make it visible. i still think that your request is valid, but is easier than move the actor and the other workarounds.

Great video!

wow! that do the trick. great! tks Hectate
now i have some example on how to use this, if someone finds it useful or if helps you mguido
it is just attached

do not use the graphics in any other way, is for a upcoming game of mine 

please make a extension hehe

and start the stencylpedia project where we'll learn how to code and use with the engine  i remember to read something about when the new stencylpedia was released 

what you mean by a convincing solution? are you still willing to put that feature as a block?

i think you could put this block under scene/view/effects

and could be just like the turn actor block "turn [cw/ccw] scene by [field] degrees"

i dont know if rotate the scene around something beyond the center of the scene is required. but if that is the case maybe a "turn around [actor]" block can do the trick, you can place this block and the scene will use the actor as a pinpoint. If you not use the block it will rotate around its center.

i have a lot of ideas on how to use this, but i just dont know how to use code directly... will be great if you implement that, but i know that there's a lot of work on other areas.

tks anyway, and keep up the good work 

pressed or release already exists as events in "add event/input" if you choose keyboard. and if you go to controls in the game settings you can choose any key to be a control and give it a name. then under user input you can find the blocks to detect if the key was pressed, released or held(is down).

for my game to run i started to delete every behavior and test my game till it compiles. so i discovered that some custom event with "when (mute) happens" was impeding my game to compile. i don't know  if this is a reserved word, but when i created a "when (switch) happens" event it doesn't compile either. One suggestion that i have for the future is that if we use a reserved word the errored sign appears on the block with a tip so we can change things.

sorry for not answering here before

but I found the game following the link from wikipedia. took me a while searching google for images of the games in the list. but worth it.

so, tks Bombini. You put me in the right direction.
and tks monkeydoodledo for the tip

ah, the game is Entomorph: Plague of Darkfall http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entomorph:_Plague_of_the_Darkfall
Nice game!
