FIX: action panel > condition did not appear with the previously assigned variable
FIX: global to be set. It should be with _K. not UI. (local)
FIX: dynamic text alpha value was nil
FIX: compress PNG needs absolute path
FIX: linear animation reference point (anchor point)

TO Gareth,

Please let me know which animation you are mentioning. I am not sure which one is.

thank you for the cooperation,

If you have more than one variable and you set up your if/else condition. Each time you go back into the condition to edit the variable defaults back to the top variable in the list.
=>
Fixed

1) Global variables don’t seem to be getting set. I have tried to keep track of them with replace text layer replacements (which just shows nothing) and also via external code which outputs ‘nil’ to the console.
=>
fixed gloabl to be set. It should be with _K. not UI. (local)
external code must be put in a file. So “print(anothervar)” is ignored in Kwik4

There isn’t a special table where Globals are being stored is there?
=>
global variables are in the “_K” table.

2) Playing around with text variable layer replacements doesn’t seem to work either. I thought it was maybe because I was using a number for my variable but I tried a text variable and that didn’t work either.

=>
fixed. their alpha value was nil

1. The pivot points for animations are not the same as Kwik3. This can be seen on my CEO page, the characters arms do not pivot at the elbow.
=>
Fixed

2. There seems to be a problem with some Linear Animations. I think it may be the Linear Animations with a Delay Parameter. The animation is not triggered.

=>
Please let me know which animation you are mentioning. I don’t find which one.

3. The thumbnails on the Navigation Bar stay visible for a lot longer than Kwik 3, I think Kwik 3 may only be about 4 or 5 seconds.

=>
Fixed. now 5 secounds.

4. I still couldn’t get the png Compression to work. I got the following error…

=>
Fixed.

Great fixes, everything seems to be working great!

Just the one function that seems not be working correctly is the variable once set in the Add Button / If Else Condition keeps defaulting back to the top variable.

Hopefully the image below shows a clearer view:

In page 004 – bedroom.
The Linear Animations lin_dadout and lin_momout both have a Delay set to 1 second.
These animations are in a Play Random action (act_dadout, act_monout) they are triggered by the button but_monitor.

In page 010 – houses.
Button ‘but_hsebot’ triggers an if then statement ‘act_haboton’. This triggers Linear Animation lin_cara, this has a Delay set to 2 seconds.

All of these Linear Animations trigger another action when completed, these actions are activated, but the actual original linear animation is not.

I hope this helps.
thanks,
Gareth

Thank you, Gareth for the info on animation delay issue. I fixed it.

FIX:tmplt, animation delay was ignored
FIX:progress window was not updated

>Just the one function that seems not be working correctly is the variable once set in the Add Button / If Else Condition keeps defaulting back to the top variable.

Chris, it has been fixed in 1102. So you can verify it with Kwik4_RC_2016_1103.zip

[GarethParticipant]

Great, the delay in Linear Animation now works perfectly.

The compress png works.My kiwi 3 project compressed to 42.2mb, The Kwik 4 project compresses to 38.4mb!

However, all the Zzzz and tear particles in my project have stopped playing in this version. Any ideas?

[ChrisParticipant]

I updated to build 1103 but the variable still selects the wrong one when I go back to condition.

Do I need to rebuild the temlt folder or delete a cached file or anything?

As a side note, the ‘optional’ part of the If Condition works as it should, remembering the selected variable when you go back into the condition.

>all the Zzzz and tear particles

each external file needs the following require because kwik4 outputs lua files according to each object.

local Particles = require(“lib_particle_candy”)

your external files were not included when you sent, I extracted some codes from kwik3 lua files. So the Zzz particle now working is the lounge one only I sent

>the variable still selects the wrong one when I go back to condition.
>Do I need to rebuild the temlt folder or delete a cached file or anything?

No just restart Photoshoop after Kwik is updated

I tested it with .kwk you sent, maybe you added or modified something. Please send me .kwk again.

[GarethParticipant]

If I write…

local Particles = require(“lib_particle_candy”)

in all the external files, will it work then?

[YamamotoKeymaster]

yes, Gareth. If not work, please send me all the lua files of external files.

Kwik4 1.0.0 is released. Available form menu > downloads. Thank you, Gareth, Chris, Kayla, Vojko and Miki, Youhei.

[ChrisParticipant]

I have sent through an email with a link to download my updated test project as I’ve added another page – just in case something has changed.

[ChrisParticipant]

I am getting a new error when trying to use a Web replacement layer.

I press the Publish button it progresses through then get the follow pop up error:

ReferenceError: ganme is undefined : /Library/Application%20Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions/com.kwiksher.kwik4/app/site-packages/pageRenders/lib/hide.jsxbin(27)

[YamamotoKeymaster]

Chris, I corrected the variable issue on IF panel and web replacement issue

http://www.kwiksher.com/daily/Kwik4_2016_1105.zip
FIX:Web replacement publish error
FIX:If panel variable selection
FIX:manifest updated for CC 2017

I will test Kwik on CC 2017 next week,

[GarethParticipant]

I can’t get the particles to work Yamamoto.

I insert…

local Particles = require(“lib_particle_candy”)

at the start of every external code I have then reimport?

is there any space in there?
local Particles = require(“lib_particle_candy”)
or
local Particles = require (“lib_particle_candy”)

[ChrisParticipant]

Yes I can confirm the IF panel is fixed.

Can you update the ELSE panel as well, it does the same thing – not selecting the correct variable.

//chris

[YamamotoKeymaster]

Gareth, space is not an issue. Any error messages on corona terminal?

this is today’s update
http://www.kwiksher.com/daily/Kwik4_2016_1107.zip
tmplt fixes
FIX: _K for ultimatePosition imageAction.lua
FIX:ultimatePosition in Application.lua
FIX:extLib to extlib in layer_particle.lua
