Tables linked to position

GrapeSodaGames

Is there a way to link a table to a actors position? I want to make a table telling multiples of the same actor their position on the screen.

tables can't tell any thing … tables store data that you have defined for your game
game, scene, actors read and change their attributes/actions according to a cellValue the table is storing

Design/Create your table so that either a row or a col is for only one actor
I like to use Columns for Actors
and label the Rows for attributes … (more uniform/easier to enlarge the label area … grey)

on your Prototype actor:
add actorAttribute myCol make it text-type
behavior:
changeAttribute: self.Position.X To: tableCellValue( game.Table 1 ,"X", self.myCol)

and in each actorInstance type in the myCol attribute a numberValue: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc.

if you are spawning these actors:
add a game.spawnCount index

and on the spawner:
after a spawn … changeAttribute: game.spawnCount To: game.spawnCount+1

on the actor spawned:
Rule: when
Attribute: self.Time ≥ 0.001
changeAttribute: self.myCol To: game.spawnCount
