I have 9 pngs water drop images, and I would like to make a "swim" full screen widget.
QUESTIONS:
1) Is possible using the "swim" widget's optionto make the drops going only from up to down and in a steady vertical position like in real life..?
2) Can we combine all the 9 images so they will appear randomly..?

Thank you!

I think it will be better to attach them into a slider and make a full screen widget.
I went through the docs, but couldn't find anything about swim direction

Hi DG! Thanks for the quick reply..
The fact is that with the widget->"swim" option as you know the images floating randomly. I'm almost sure that should be a way to control the movement though script, but as it seems from my topic here I don't know how..

Hi hamid!
If you check my attach file you will see that are 9 different water drop images like this one:


So I was thinking to make a full screen images where the drops will fall from top to bottom like a rain effect on screen!
Imagine like a "swim" widget (without use the "keep on screen" swim option), but the images will move only in a vertical random position.
The best of course is to have also random the start point of the drop. Other will start fall from the top, other from the middle..
Just think a rain effect on the screen..

couldn't imagine this with swim effect
maybe you want it to create wind

but why don't you create a png animation or a gif?

Testing your last file "raindrop_[test3] [2014.07.11].xwp" the cpu usage is 0~2%!!
I will make some more tests decreasing the speed and adding the various pngs and I'll reply as soon as possible...

I made some little changes to the script and edited the scale % of some images to be more realistic..
Cpu usage=0%

Next steps:
- Randomize their movement on x-axis? <- ->
- (more complicated) With mouse click appear of a random water drop (like the "Broken Screen")

I try to study the script from the "Broken Screen" widget and copy the function but is a bit confusing for me...

=========
Changes:
Added: Disabling/Enabling on Hide/Show to save Cpu Usage when it's Hidden
Added: MenuItem to Clear Screen
Added: MenuItem to Set Number of images
Added: Code to automatically create imageObjects
Added: Code for Random ImageFile Usage
Added: Code for Random Speed, Position for each Object

Note:
-Adding more than 10 ImageObjects will cause cpu usage go high
(for me getting 20-30%)

Visualy is reallly GREAT! And your script is rock!
But I can't activate the right click option or click on the widget(move)..
Maybe of this "Added: Widget LockPosition and MouseThrough"...?
