Snippets [MMF2]

I realize there's only maybe 5 clickteam users, but It's still worth posting anyway. Anyone can contribute.

Snippets
Author: Sketchy

Snippets are small pieces of MMF code stored in ini files. It helps easily organize large formulas and easily add them into the expression editor. Of course I found this over at clickteam forums, and was surprised how I skipped it. It's very easy to add your own snippet.



Here's a quick screenshot of the formula for a Cubic Bezier Curve. All you would have to do is rename the variables and you're good to go.(and paste in the expression editor)

How to add your own Snippet
To create a new snippet from scratch, press the button in the top left with the blank-sheet icon. Alternatively, you can modify an existing snippet by selecting it and pressing the edit button.

You need to enter the function and all applicable variables.
Once you are done, press save, and select a location to save to.

Example:

(I was surprised the sin/cos formulas weren't made in the simple maths)

Pasting in expression editor



Anyway I hope those few users who do use MMF will hopefully share and add some of their own.

I may add a few simple ones of my own. (creating a hover effect using Sin(timer/2)*variable)

:P I'm still a Clickteam user. But that's ONLY for MMF, I assume? Just asking since I'm using The Games Factory.

I believe it's only for MMF, but it wouldn't hurt to see if some of the formulas work in TGF aswell. Both are so similar, but since MMF was re-written, probably not.

some of them should work in TGF (i'm surprised snippet manager has no way of specifying compatibilities within the ini files)
