  • Thanks for the help, and for the critique on my work so far. I'm so gonna mention you in the credits :P

    The single level sprite was just for ease of use while I'm in the early stages. Later on it'll be in separate tiles. It's just easier to use my map editor program (Tiled) to make them for testing purposes.

  • Added the CAPX file to the original post.

    Also here.

    How to replicate issue:

    1. Press 'Z' to shoot. (note that it shoots in the direction the player is facing)
    2. Walk right until you touch the Elder Sign (red star), rotating the world clockwise.
    3. Shoot left and right. Shooting either way results in bullets shooting to the right.

  • I'm working on a H.P. Lovecraft themed platformer, featuring gravity bending puzzles :)

  • I'm trying to work on a game for the Rotary Comp. I'm making it so when the player walks over certain tiles it rotates the layout and changes the gravity angle, but when the character shoots after the layout rotates, all the bullet objects I spawn refuse to have their angle set.

    For example. while the layout is at the default orientation, the player can shoot left or right (depending on the direction they're facing). When the layout is rotated -90 degrees ALL bullets shoot in the same direction regardless of my attempts to rotate them.

  • A proper mobile exporter would be nice. The only reason I haven't tried making android games (or even just little apps) if because I'd have to go through a 3rd party company.

  • You can invert the "Is Overlapping" condition. Just right click it and click invert.

  • Hmm I have some ideas of how to get this to work. You could use a 2d array to store the lists of pokemon and then make invisible sprites pick a row from the array (based on an instanced variable) and then randomly pick a pokemon from that list.

    That's just a rough idea of how I'd do some it.

    Bleh, actually I'll just try to make an example for you :)

  • Hello all.

    I am on more of the side of design and art so I am trying to figure out some kind of programming stuff. So I can make some small games to showcase my artwork and sprite work.

    Taking what I learned looking at tutorials and fun I had playing in construct classic I just jumped in with my protosprites and starting just adding stuff and seeing what came of it and this is the fir...

    Hah, that's pretty fun to mess around with. You could add in a feature so that it charges up the throw when you hold Z and then shoots when you release it. I'd play it :P

  • Happens every time I do something similar to this;

    • Make new event with a normal condition. e.g. Is OnScreen
    • Add Trigger Once While True
    • Edit first condition to a one-time condition. e.g. On Start of Layout
    • Crash

    Check failure! This is probably a bug:

  • You could make set a variable for the character and make an event to increase it, then add the variable to the platform behaviours jump strength. I'll throw together a quick example if you'd like.

    Edit: Capx Example here

  • Thirdeded. It's a pain to have to go Documents>Dropbox>Public>Gamefolder every single time.

  • Here is my first simple test but nothing realy fun:

    As I try to enable webGL, the background disapear (maybe a bug!?)

    WebGL doesn't support tiled backgrounds (yet?). I had the same problem with my game.

  • Also getting this issue, looking forward to the fix in the next build. I'm hoping it'll be soon, as it kinda destroys my game :P

  • Started working with C2 last week, been making a space shooter in my spare time. I'm getting a bit too ambitious with my plans for it so I keep forgetting to add in things I need to do and end up going off in a random direction and adding something that wont be needed for ages. Any feedback is welcome, and don't mind the boss sprite placeholder.

    Chakram

  • Hey everyone, I'm 22 and live in Australia. I've been a gamer all my life and have been interested in game developing since a was kid, when I got my hands on a friends copy of Klik'n'Play. I've experimented with several methods of game making, most recently with Unity3D. I've also messed around with Game Maker and several other programs.

    Since discovering Construct 2 last week I've become obsessed with using it. I've been working on two games to hone my skills and learn how to use C2, a sidescrolling shooter ("Chakram") and another game (Platformer/RPG/Metroidvania). Hopefully I'll be able to get my shooter up to a show-of-able standard in the next week so people can check it out :)
