  • I was wondering if there is a way to copy an enemy a few times, and place it throughout a single layout without it doing strange things. right now I have 1 enemy copied and pasted 3 times, but their movements and attacks just kinda get weird or broken the longer I play. Is there something I'm missing (also I don't have the paid version so i can't use families). any help would be appreciated.

  • I guess I"ll just wait until tomorrow and see if they get back to me. if not, I guess I can figure something else out. I did try another credit card, but I got the same response. oh well.

  • Yeah, I used a prepaid visa and got a thank you screen but no conformation key in my email, spam, or other. I dunno. I'll just keep making assets for the game and coding in a separate file layout/event sheet (in order to combine them later). hopefully in a couple of days it will all be figured out. I just have an assignment due monday, so I have to keep working. The makers of construct seem to be pretty cool (from what I can gather from the forums) so I'm not worried.

    I took a screen shot of the thank you for purchase screen and sent it. I hope that will help.

    thanks for your input Joannak.

  • thanks for your reply. I think I'll just buy a prepaid visa or mastercard from a retail chain because they usually work for international purchases. the strange thing is that it gave me rep points and that's the confusing bit. I'm using construct for a college class and I've run out of events (plus having the ability to use families and subfolders would greatly increase my ability to make a cohesive game), but if that doesn't work, I'll try getting with my bank on a weekday.

    thanks again for the help.

  • I just tried to purchase construct 2 and it declined my card but gave me 119 rep points acting like I had purchased it. My funds are sufficient and I checked over my info to make sure it corresponds(in case I may have buggered up the input). Do you just get the rep points for the attempt at buying contruct 2?

  • I think you might be in my class, cause were doing the same thing. I've been scouring the forums for alternatives, but it looks like the best way is with the use of arrays(ugh).

    I did see something interesting in the forums about web storage, but I don't know if it will help any (its kind of an old post)

    but I don't think it will work for your tutorial.

  • I'm in the same boat (artist/hobbyist) and I would recommend building a test layout and figure out how the event system/sprite sheet works. Once you get a little used to it, I think you'll be surprised at how much fun their visual coding system is.

  • hey, just started using the free version for a college class. After struggling with some the beginning hurdles, I really like what construct 2 has to offer. I've been spriting and tiling for a couple of years(on and off) and I'm impressed with the ease of use concerning animations and tile mapping. Whenever I get my rep points up, I'll post some screens of the project to get some constructive criticism.
