  • I've used the System action "Pick nth instance" to solve my enemy collision bug, but I can't figure out the expression to select all instances for the action. I really don't want to make 100 separate events for all the different instances of the enemies.

    Thanks.

  • That's weird because I used NW on the 15+ computers. I dragged the folder containing the .exe from a USB to each of the desktops and then ran it from there, and the multiplayer worked for a time. I've only used NW in my multiplayer testing endeavors, I didn't realize it wasn't supported.

  • I am working on my very first game. I am planning on doing it a top down shooter hotline miami style gameplay, and a cross between the movie ,"The Raid." So there will be lots of guns, martial arts, and blood. You will go up different hotel floors or apartment complex floors, havent decided on the theme yet.

    Or another theme will be you are a Marine invading a bunker in Afghanistan and are trying to get Osama as you go down further in the bunker there will be suicide bombers and have to break up the terrorist cells and leaders as you progress...I have probably a year to go, but I am excited for this, if it turns out anything like I envision it to be could be cool.

    I love The Raid, just saw the new one and it was freaking awesome!

  • SabinX Where did you get your graphics and sounds?

    It's funny cause no games inspire me anymore. What inspires me are the ideas I have and the picture of how people will feel experiencing it.

    That's how I've been feeling lately. The games that inspired me to enter game development are huge AAA productions that will take years to accumulate the skills, resources, and teams to build games that are like my favorite games. Starting small is the most important rule in any creative field, especially game development. As far as small games go, the great smaller indie games are nothing like the the games I'd make so I have to find inspiration elsewhere.

  • Problem Description

    ____ A concise description of your problem here ____

    I tested the multiplayer game example Scirra made on 15+ computers at my school. All the players could join, and they would appear on the hosts' screen, but after about 2 minutes the players were invisible on each others' screen, but the host could still see everybody. Rejoining fixes the problem, but after another 2 minutes the players would begin to disappear again. Please note I tested from downloading the .exe to each computer, not running off a browser.

  • My bad, I didn't realize Scirra created a demo. Thanks!

  • I added events to connect to Scirra's signaling server and then join a room, but nothing is happening with any of the multiplayer events and actions I create. Has someone created a tutorial for creating a multiplayer game?

  • I believe Cut the Rope was made with Construct 2.

  • Thanks RamPackWobble and Lordshiva1948 for taking the time to help me. And RamPackWobble, your example is exactly what I was trying to make!

  • Thoughts on FGL?

  • Do the forums seem less active after the update to the website?

    When I first joined, my questions and discussions would have responses within the hour, now my posts get no replies after several days. I've also noticed that other posts in all the categories are getting less responses than before. Anybody else notice this?
