  • wow. so much meat.. i never expect that much info. Thank you Sir instance

  • OKay i'm sorry to have created this thread. i found the solution by myself yes i'm proud even if it was a stupid reading mistake. When using random number ins MAXSCRIPT ( the only other language i know) you say Rand:(0,128) Random from x to y so when i say the float example i tought hey! its the same thing.. WRONG!!!

    But that bring me a question. How to get random number between X and Y when X is not Zero??

    like i dunno 100 and 666?

  • So i try to create this small project were you have to escape falling ball.

    no big deal, i use a, what it seem easy event but i got strange result.

    every 1000 milisec =>System, Create Object "Sprite" on layer1 at random(0,256,0)

    When i run the Cap it goes fine, no error , it spawned regularly my object but the random isn't there.

    First object is spawned a 0,0 other is like 128,0 ( kinda halfway of my screen) after all other object are spawned at 0,0.

    i what to have them spawned irregularly a bite like rain. Any idea what I've done wrong???

  • mmmm.. 'kay did i asked for something?? *ashame*

  • hello all here's my question.

    i'm looking for a way to create shadow for my game and since the shadow caster create the shadow only with the whole image thus giving me a squareshadow. i try something, i duplicate my Player and fill it with black,the idea was to skew it according to certain object , light for instance.

    Any idea if it is possible? or i'm complicating thing more they should?

    you will surrender soon enough. Its such a good place to be

  • thanks for the tip Jeswen.

    Ashley:On thing i dont get. When i use Set text. it seem to need to be between quote?

    If i want to display the value of a variable not the name of it, how do i set it?

    because if its quoted it only display the name, unless i miss something.

  • What could be the best way to display text for HUD display? currently i try to store my info in a variable (here "AMMO") and retrieve it as a text to tell the player a much bullet i have left.

    Right now i use the TEXT object but i see only a way to display "static" info if i can say so.

    i tried the ADD To Value but i didnt get anything either...

    help please.. i'm lost now

  • thanks ssbfalcon. all the tutorial are appriated when it come to help newcomer.

    [quote:2rpvi89n]Here's the question though... Should the focus be mainly on what they do or should we put in examples of good ways of using the objects?

    i would say do both if possible. like here here are the function\expression and here 2-3 example of what could be done with.

    anyways like i said any help is appreciated. thanks

  • thanks man. but unfortunatly it seem to be dead by now. the coder i was working with is too much quiet these days... too bad i can't code even to save my life.

  • weird weird weird.

    i reinstalled DXSDk and the CG toolkit 2.0 , reboot and construct work fine now...

  • thrust me , i already try this ... its no good.

  • nothing seem to work.

    -i rebooted

    -i install the visual c++ 2005 redistributable

    the only other thin i recall was ininstalling the DXSDK sometime before.

    i'm completely clueless and full of game idea. no need to say i'ts frustrating.

    anyways i'll try to dwell more for the problem..

    thanks guys

  • hello all, i got this crappy bug today and i'm kinda pissed.

    i fire construct like everydays and suddendly it won't load any plugin at ALL.

    No need to say i can'ta go far without plugins.. and when i'm talking all i'm really talking all plugins.

    What i don't get is i ininstalled all the shabbang and reinstall after but the problem was still there.

    the only think i think it could be linked to this problem is i had Nvidia CG ToolKit installed and i remove it some time before the event... Do Construct need CGtoolkit or some stuff in it ?

    Next step is to install .952
