  • Hey, I've been messing around with the platform movement, and theres a couple of things that I reckon would be great additions.

    Firstly, it'd be great if we could se the speed of the object in a direction with an event. So the object can be moved around outside of the players control. I'd like to make wall-jumping, Metroid style, with the platform movement, and it seems impossible to do without a way to move the object independantly of the players input.

    Also, I'd like to see variable jumping. 'Jump sustain' sort of does this, but it acts wierdly. If you hold the button down, the object jumps the normal 'jump' height, with proper acceleration and deceleration, and then just floats upwards at a constant speed for the 'sustain' period. This makes for some pretty weird looking jumps if you rely too heavily on jump sustain.

    It'd be nice to have an option to stop the character bouncing, when the jump button is held down. It can be got around with a feet detector and a few events, but it's pretty annoying to have to set this up so the player doesn't bounce around with jump held in. I can't think of many platform games where holding jump makes the character jump continuously.

    These are just a few things that I reckon would make the platform movement perfect. It's already great, especially the slope control, which is a right pain to do manually. Anyone else have any suggestions?

    Cheers, Tom

  • The Animation Bar is still pretty much broken, I can't change the speed of the animation at all, and if I try and copy frames, it crashes Construct. The only way I can slow down the animations is to import a frame several times, which is just far too time consuming.

  • Try Construct 3

  • Hmm, I can't get the animation speed to work at all. I select the angle of the animation,and I can change the animation speed in the properties, but it doesn't do anything. A value of zero makes the animation stop, anything else, and it runs at hyper-speed.

  • The animation bar still appears to be broken, you still can't change the speed of the animation, short of importing your frames a hundred times each. Also, how do you load the template files? I can't seem to open them with Construct normally.

  • Hey, just wondering how to go about using the animation bar right. I'm not sure if there are problems with it, or whether I'm just using it wrong, but I can't change the speed the animation plays at. I've tried changing the 'animation speed' of both the parent animation, and the individual angle animations, as well as changing the duration for the individual frames, but the animation still plays at maximum speed. Anyone else having this problem?
