Hi! I'm currently working on a project, and am running into an issue with a list. Basically, the list needs to be displayed to the player, but every single time the list is modified, it's resized. Is there any way to keep it at the size it was, even when the list is changed?
What you're doing is assigning a new list to the variable:
Instead you need to leave the variable set to the same list, but delete its items:
How about delete ([all] v) of (my list)
Oh yeah, good point, I never remember that!
In the situation I'm in, I'm not deleting the list. It's a two long list, and only the second item is ever replaced. (Not deleted, replaced.)
Huh. Then I wouldn't expect the watcher to be resized.
Could you post a link, or post before and after screenshots?
Sorry, I don't think @bh wasn't exactly clear.
What is happening is that when you reassign a variable to a new list, aka, replacing it, the list size is reset. However one way to not have that happen, is to instead clear the list, then add the items of your new lust to it. Here's a block that does this.
When you use this block to set a list, it will keep the variable watcher size, all because the original list isn't being deleted (aka, replaced).
Huh, I didn't realize that's how that worked. I'll give it a try and let you know if it works.
Wait, nevermind. Apparently, my code already does that, and it doesn't work.
Now that I look at it further, I don't actually know what is causing it to resize. Changing the variable didn't, nor did reloading the page. I'll release the project once it reaches the beta testing stage.
Why you don't share a small project with us ?
I'm going to venture a guess as to what is going on. In Snap!, variable watchers don't resize according to whether or not you are in full screen mode. This also applies to lists:
Fortunately, that isn't actually an issue for my project. The issue I'm having is the list sometimes returning to its original size (not in element length, but rather the space that it takes up on screen like in your video.), but unfortunately, it seems to be inconsistent and I don't know what causes it to begin with.
