  • Hey guys! Very new Construct user here, but having a blast. I am doing a platformer, and have run into a small wall.

    Making a Wreck-It-Ralph style platform character that lends with a heavy, screenshaking impact when falling from a great height.

    I would assume I'd just need a Platform On Landed and a Compare Speed condition on my player character, coupled to a Shake, but it doesn't work - it seems like it's only counting speed applied from sideways movement, rather than the fall speed. Can anyone help me in the right direction?

  • Basically looking for an extension of this - this works, but means the screen is shaking on EVERY impact, even after a small jump. I only want it after particularly long drops.

  • The platform behavior triggers on landed after the collision is resolved so you won’t know the speed. What you probably can do is save the y velocity to a variable every tick. And since the behaviors run before the event sheet the variable will be the y speed one frame behind. 

    Global number vy=0

Every tick
— set vy to player.platform.velocityY

Player: on landed
Compare: vy>100
— screen shake

  • Oh! That makes sense, I will see if I can implement that. Thank you very much.
