  • Sorry for taking so long to reply here, but that is exactly what I needed, thank you so much!!! You are a legend!!

  • Hi all,

    I am working on a project, I have been given a list of words in a txt file and want to import them into construct (already have the txt file inside the project as a project file) and put them into an array or something of that sort so I can choose random words to display.

    The are all separated by a newline, but I am not allowed to edit the file to be in json format. I have been allowed to use whatever software I wish, so decided on Construct.

    Is this possible?? Spent a few hours trying to figure it out.

  • All sorted with a combination of the above thanks alot.

  • Thanks for the information, unfortunatley I have the free version not the full one.

  • Hi all

    I am experimenting with Construct to teach some kids in my school about game making.I have followed a few of the threads on here to get to where I am now.

    I want the game to generate a 10 by 10 grid of 60px square boxes. The boxes are randomly picked from a choice of 3.

    I have coded this using nested loops. The top loop however doesnt stop at 10 rows like it is set, it just keeps going. If someone could tell me what I have done wrong I would appreciate it.

    Many thanks

  • really brilliant stuff you are working on, thanks for displaying this to us all.

  • Sorry for the quick double post, but I have now solved this issue. Was pressing the wrong button for the default controls.

    I will hang my head in shame in a dark corner now.

  • Hi, sorry to sort of hi-jack the thread, but having a similar issue with the platform behaviour.

    I have a sprite set with the behaviours "scroll to" and "platform" with the default controls enabled. I have other sprites with the behaviour "solid".

    When I play/preview the game I am not able to jump using the up key (I assumed that was the default). So I changed the default controls option to no and i made a custom event to simulate jump etc, and now I can jump, but only the first time. Any ideas on whats wrong?

  • I am on a little netbook for some of my development, and moving between that and a couple of different machines around the building. Never even thought about the graphics card being an issue.

  • BRILLIANT!!!! Thank you all soooooo much, that is very very much appreciated!! You have saved my receding hair line!!

  • Hi

    Thanks for the reply, but unfortunatly not fixed my problem.

    Here is a link to an example to show what is happening for me:

  • Hi all, I am sorry if this is the wrong place but I am kind of pulling my hair out.

    Teaching a group of students to use the software, and we worked through the ghost shooter tutorial fine. Now looking at making our own little games.

    We are working on our own graphics using GIMP. I create a graphic, save it as a .png as this seems to be the best thing to use and then when i import it into construct as a sprite or background, the image is blurred and smaller than it should be.

    E.g. I have created a simple orange running track background. In the size 2560, 600 and then saved as a PNG. I then imported it, set the position as 0,0 and then set the size to match the above mentioned size, so this should ideally display properly. However the track appears at about quarter of the size in the top left corner of the area it should be covering and blurred.

    Any help??

    Many thanks
