  • Hey all, I tried searching for this topic in the forums, so I apologize if I missed it, but I've run into some trouble, and I'm hoping someone can throw me an answer.

    I'm trying to create a character screen for a player that reflects its stats.

    I have a dictionary called "PlayerAttributes" with an instance variable called "Strength" and I created a SpriteFont which I want to display the current Strength value. What I tried doing was putting in:

    Every tick - set SpriteFont text : PlayerAttributes.Strength

    in my event sheet, but it doesn't work. Is it possible to set a textbox, or spritefont's text to a numerical instance variable, or does it have to be a string?

    Hope my question is understandable. Please help!

    Thanks.

  • Hey all,

    I'm very new at this, and I'm having a bit of a dilemma with my (super-alpha) demo displaying in a very small window on the Scirra Arcade. It's compressing the screen, and since my artwork is pixel-based, the images are becoming pretty distorted.

    This is what I mean:

    scirra.com/arcade/action/11306/wald-0-demo

    Is there any way to make the window appear bigger on the Scirra Arcade?

    Thanks!

    I'm on Firefox 23.0.1, and C2 release 139 (free).

    Could that have anything to do with my problems?

  • I'm using the free version off C2, and I was on Firefox.

    I'll check the versions and take a video when I make it home.

  • You can move the character after you switch images?

    It halts the actions on my end.

  • Hey everyone!

    So I've been mucking around with Construct 2 for a little while. I went through the platforming tutorial, and I'm now attempting to expand a little on some of the possible features.

    I was testing out trying to have two buttons to switch player appearances (and later abilities), and I got the buttons to switch the visibility of the specific sprites/being assigned to the PlayerBox's position, but after I click the buttons, the PlayerBox stops being controlled by the arrow keys. This is what I have so far:

    Can anyone help me work out why I can't move the players after I've switched their appearances?

  • Hello all!

    I'm brand new to game development, though I've been fleshing out a pretty complex RPG/Sidescrolling beat 'em up for around a year. I've finally gotten around to move beyond the ideas stage, and am beginning to compile some assets and work a little bit on the programming/execution end of it.

    I've found many of the posts and tutorials on here extremely useful and helpful, but I have a few questions I'd like to ask, so I'll be posting those in the proper threads!

    I'm excited to be communicating with you all!
