A lil' bunch of questions (I already read the FAQ)

Hello there.

I recently discovered Construct, which looks awesome. Besides, I am familiar with clickteam softwares like Game Factory and Multimedia Fusion, which have a similar way to make a game, so this will be my chance to make games that I couldn't do in the past.

I read the FAQ, so I know most basic things like pausing. But there's still some things where I didn't found any answers:

1.Can bounding hitboxes be modifiable for a single entity? Let's see I have a platformer guy, and when he crouches, his hitbox must shrink. Or does another method exist, involving bouding hitboxes?

2.How do separate entities work, like when a character does a swing motion with his arm, and separatly a swords syncs with the move? For another example, for the game I want to make, is the armor system in the megaman X series, when boots, chest armor, armpads and helmet are separate entities that are stuck on the character

I may have others question in the future, but it's all for now.

1. If you talking about invisible sprite as hitbox, you can:

• set shrinked animation for hitbox sprite (be sure you use "per-pixel" collision mode)
• set height of hitbox sprite (be sure sprite's hotspot is on ground, i.e. applied to the lower border of sprite)
• or don't use separate hitbox sprite, use collision mask for animated sprite instead. It can be edited for each frame. Check deadeye's Platform School tutorials

Thanks! But do you know about my second point? Or anyone else?

For the second Q imagepoints should work. Imagepoints are like the action point in clickteam products but you can have more of them.

Ex:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5426011/examples4/imagepoints.cap made in 0.99.97

I see more clearly now, but I still have a question about image point

You said that you can have multiple of them, and I saw on the event sheet that you can name them, and I saw the FAQ, but they doesn't tell you how to create multiple of them and name them.

I tried to see on the image editor, with different combinations like control+right/left click, or shift+right/left key but nothing happens.

In the image editor when you select the image points tool there is a dropdown list at the top listing all the image points. To the right of that is a "+", click it and it opens up a dialog to add/remove image points.
