Title: Corona Multimap "Lock Pattern"
Post by: Tanakov on 2017-09-14, 16:48:21

Hi,

Is it possible to add some kind of checker box for CoronaMultimap
that would Use each individual Color or Map at least once before using some map twice?

Sometimes I add 20+ maps for my objects and I have 2-3 same map next to eachother in a group of 10 objects.

Sorry, but I can't understand what you meant here (and it looks like others couldn't either).
Can you explain what this checkbox would do? An example might help.

Maru@ - I think it's about repetition of maps/colors. As it works now, there's no way to avoid maps/colors to be repeated (often side by side), even if there's still unused maps/colors.

I think Tanakov is asking for some kind of solution to this :)

Not sure if that would be ever possible, since the distribution is random. It's hard for me to imagine a way to find out if one item is distributed between two objects close to each other.

The technique shown here with railclone should work with Corona multimap to:

Hope it helps
