  • Hello,

    I want to modify the cursor to move like it would be in a grid. I want the layer to be 1 grid consisting of squares and the cursor can only move from square to square. The grid should only be visible in a range of 1 square around the square, in which the player sprite is displayed. (2D Platform view, not Top down) Furthermore I want to be able to know on which square the player clicked to do further things.

    I hope you understand what I mean and can help me to accomplish this.

    Best Regards,

    Astrosus.

  • Hello,

    I know there are several tries on this topic, but all of these are only usable for some kind of endless runner game, at least I think so.

    I need a modified version and I do not know how to accomplish it.

    I want a nicely reasonable generated surface terrain combined with detached reasonable caves in the underground to generate a nice adventure world.

    A major problem maybe is that I want it to be generated only at the first start of the game. The randomly generated world should be saved and loaded, when you restart the game.

    I thought about this whole thing and came up with an idea, but I am not sure if it is doable because it could cause some kind of lag:

    Could you actually make the world to be 1 array? Let's say the world is 1 big grid. The height is 15 squares of this grid and the width is 20.000.

    Now on every square of this grid, which is actually filled with a block of the terrain, the value is 1. When there is no block on the square, the value is 0.

    So you could save and load this array to keep the randomly generated world. When the players destroy or creates a new block on the grid, the array is changed and saved when the game is closing.

    Then you could have a second array, which is holding the different materials like earth, stone etc.

    Let's say 0 for earth, 1 for stone etc.

    Is this doable or do you know a better way of achieving it?

    I would really appreciate your help, whether it is in form of a tip, idea or even a example capx.

    Thank you guys!

  • Hello,

    I remember having a Plugin/Behavior repository with very much things in it, but I do not have it anymore on my PC. I wanted to download it again, but now I can only find a repository only offering plugins/behaviors from "rexrainbow".

    Does anyone still got the repository and knows about which one I am talking?

  • The problem seems to be caused by loading the text from a xml file.

  • Hello,

    I am currently translating my game, but the text object refuses to display the germanic umlauts "?,? & ?" and accents of French and Spanish

    Is there a way to display them correctly?

  • Hello,

    I want to change the language of Construct 2.

    I got the needed language file (XML) in the languages folder, but how do I actually choose the language?

  • I think this does not work. You do not get the value of the webstorage on the start of the levelselection layout. So only Level 1 will be unlocked every time you start the game. The savegame will not load.

  • Not really. Any other opinions on this? I think this means, that they can use your game like they want (edit, sell, translate it etc.) without talking to you. So you basically lose all your rights.

  • I am not sure wether this is good or bad. Giving all rights on your work to blackberry and their other companies for 100$ seems stupid.

  • English is enough. Just make it the default language.

  • To be honest, I am 99% sure that you won't make even 1 $ with this game. It needs a lot of work. For example that white edges of the graphics, it does not look very good.

    The whole concept seems very uninteresting. There is no motivation to play this game.
