  • — thanks for the tip. I will delve into it when i find the need but so far simple work arounds can solve the problem. The newest update of construct 2 is quite good as well. Is it possible to change the first post tho? People might come and answer an already answered issue xD

    (completely unrelated: what in the world is prompt mode / basic mode at the edit message form? )

  • Meh, writing a plugin is far more complicated than just looking for a work around. I do agree with Twins that my thinking (being more used to programming) complicates things but hey, i do know that you can work around it xD

  • Oh another question to anyone in this forum.

    Does construct 2 follow javascript's operator precedence?

  • Thats an awesome saying. =D

  • Its still programming you know, just with a high level language.

    Its like a comparison between a bike and a motor bike xD

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

  • For me, C2 is programming at an even higher level. C2 provides a visualisation of our programme, which we can manipulate intuitively. By contrast, text-based programming languages force us to make our visualisations internally.

    That's a good analogy and i agree. But it's always good to manipulate something to an atomic level in order to bring out something that is of epic magnitude xD

  • yeah i did go through the tutorials.

    it is like learning a new language xD

    no no no, im happy that you took your time to read and reply xD

  • Its frustrating like trying to learn a new language and have an old language as your reference xD like that frustrating haha

  • Yeah there are ways to go through it. Ive actually done it just that im used to the programming style of thinking :P i still love it though. Buying it was worth it haha

  • I have some feedbacks regarding C2. It's great and all but it might be better if the ff: were addressed?.

    1. "Local variables reset their value to the initial value every tick..." -scirra.com/manual/83/variables/page-1

    Wouldn't it be nice to have a local variable nested to the event that only resets after it leaves the event? Like if i have a wait function inside event. I wouldn't want another global variable, specially a temporary one just so i could carry on a value 2 ticks later.

    2. Direct inputting / calling. I know C2 is made for people with nearly zero experiences in programming but for us who love programming but don't have the time to go through all the daunting task of manual programming this software is pretty useful. With that said, wouldn't it be nice to have a "console type input" that we could directly place statements and expressions? Much like how java/javascript/flash works?

    e.g. Sprite with UID of 23 = UID[23].x=5 (UID of 23's x gets 5)

    or (Sprite[5].alpha ==2)

    just a thought. Although i love the software I find it extremely frustrating to work with.
