Spawn Random Objects :)

Hello guys!

I have a little problem, (don't know how to figure this out in guild wars)

.

I have 4 rows with 10 objects on each row = 40 objects ^^'

The objects on the rows should spawn randomly on these specific "row-places"

Now... If a certain requirement is completed, row 2,3 and 4 should move one up and row 4 should spawn new objects...

Any Idea how you can save row 2,3, and 4 with the random objects and transport them up? o_o'

Save the value of the object spawned on them in an array.

Also it could be good to post a capx to see how you implemented things so far and see what can be done.

[It is the 44mb capx from before~ ;/]

I'll try and make that file smaller tomorrow (currently 3:30am and the spawning doesnt look quite right, but thanks for the answer!)

Thanks in advance

I am here again :]

Got it to around 5mb, the Problem is still there (cant get my hand around it, tried it a few times and gave up :/ )~

Klick it!

Explanation: The important part here is the e-game layout and the e-game code!

The layout is self-explanatory: you have to press the keys according to the random spawner (I dont have.)

[The Arrow-Images are in Object types-->Game->Arrows]

[Arrow = not active and brown, still have to be pressed]

[Arrowon = active and blue, you should press that arrow]

[Arrowoff = already pressed, greyed out]

*When you complete a row,the arrows from the second row should move upwards, and the active [Arrowon] should be on the first position again

*Every correctly pressed arrow should save an amout of points to a global variable, also every wrongly pressed arrow to it's own global variable. I will show these at the end, but I can do that myself, it is just the hard part with the arrows I am stuck with :)

[But the active arrowobjects should only go on if they pressed the right arrow.]

Thanks in advance.

The first layout is Hauptmen? if ya want to see everything else [not that much]~

PS: The second, third and fourth row should have the exact same amout of arrows as the first one = 8~

PPS: The arrows have a 44x44 layout and the layout has a 10x10px lock [First arrow is at 330,80]

PPPS: Hopefully I did not overthrow you with questions.

PPPPS: Hopefully you can kind of understand with what I want to achieve.

PPPPPS: The only active layer in the layout is Arrow

PPPPPPS: Sorry for my terrible english, [not my native language~]

I have a new Version: Made the 4 arrows as an animation (ArrowSprite Folder)

Frame1: normal

Frame2: active

Frame3: passed

And I made a family with the 4 obects (Arrowfam).

Again, Thanks in advance

Black2key.

EDIT: (3h later...)

Tried to

[on start of layout]

       [Create Arrowfam Object on layer 3 at 330,80]

       [set animation frame to int8random(0,Arrowfam.AniFrameCount))]

To get a random Arrow: but the problem is: I want to start every arrow on every row on frame 0, the passive frame ;/

[Deleted everything again... back 2 basics...]

Sorry for 4x post, but has anyone found the answer or a way how I could solve the problem?

I have to complete this project in like 2-3 days, and it would be stupid if I fail to make this game work.

[I know how to do it in my mind, but can't find a solution on how to make that happen in Construct2, as this is my first game in this wonderful program~]

Again, Thanks in advance

When I click to try to download the "new Version: Made the 4 arrows" I end up on a mediafire page that ask me to upload files <img src="smileys/smiley3.gif" border="0" align="middle">

Could you please try to use dropbox, it's really nicer for the people downloading your projects.

EDIT: I managed in downloading the 5.8 previous version (2-3 posts above), ignored a nasty error on opening of the capx and...

Well I still don't get what you're trying to do.

Arrows images are supposed to change shape/color or something ?

I don't get at all what you are trying to achieve (as in what is the goal of the game, what are the game mechanics, where are you stuck ? You told something like "arrows should do this/I haven't implemented it yet". You should first implement it then, it would be easier to move one/build on from there)

Sorry, the project looks good, but I don't know how to help you so far.

Haha thanks, I'll try and get to a point where anyone can understand what I want to do!

[It is a quite simple project, but I guess I did not explain it enough!] :)

Thanks for the help!

Black2key

Goal of the key: press as many arrow keys as possible.

[Quite simple game, I know. ;)]

I am stuck the random generization of the keys and saving them in rows which move up when you complete a row.

Also, you should see the arrows beforehand (Right now you can just see down arrows~)

Edit:

Kay. Did it! :)

Dropbox link

Made the concept and fixed the Error, plsease download and look at it~

It blocks at the 3-8th key, have yet to find a sloution but its just there to grasp the concept I intended to show. ;)

---

Now, there should be 4 rows like that, and when you finish the first line, you should start the first row again. (with new keys from the second row.)

Thanks for the help

Black2key

here is how you properly do things

arrowGame.capx

Oh my god thank you very very very very very very very very much. You don't know how happy I am right now! :)

All this useful information! (Like the mute on/off, the easier way to highlight menu-items, the random spawner = introducing me to variables and expressions)

This is priceless and better than a Tutorial!

Thank you very much, I already took a few of your snippets into this game. (Also, to teach myself, I am trying to do stuff a bit different, experiment with these variables~)

We have a really nice community here!

Yours

As a rule of thumb, if you end up with repetition of code, you're doing things wrong.

Yann you should write the bible!

What if you wanted to store the order into an array? So things are not so random..

smitchell

not so random... what do you mean?

Yann, I mean us there a way to set the pattern instead if it randomly choosing a arrow
