Been Using Defold 1 Day - Couple More Questions

Hi,

Started using your Defold engine today.
It was a rough start and I am a slow learner but it’s progressing.

Have the following questions:
(1) Do mouse events work on Android/iOS mobile devices?
(or I have to use mouse events for HTML5 and touch events for Android/iOS mobile?)
(2) On MacOS, will Defold editor make an iOS IPA install package without using Xcode?
(3) Does Defold have screen changing transition effect(s)?
(nothing fancy, just fade to black and then fade next screen from black)
(4) Any way to change the thickness of the outline of a text?

Again, it’s only day 1, so there will be more questions in the upcoming days…
Thanks, great engine!

1 mouse-button-1 will be treated as touch on mobile, you can use multi-touch on mobile too which is its own thing.
2 it’s all done in the editor
3 you have to make these yourself, but there are some made by people if you search the forum such as screen wipes. Here is an example of how you could make a fulls creen black fader in gui layers transition.script (3.2 KB)
4 create a new .font file with the thickness how you want it to be, it may not display properly in editor but should in the engine

You do not need to sign all of your posts you can put that information in your profile!

The font manual: https://www.defold.com/manuals/font/

Version 1.2.132 will fix some issues with font clipping when outline is wider than one pixel. It will also fix a discrepancy between bitmap and distancefield fonts.
