  • bullet on created - bullet move to bottom = Working thanks!

  • Bullet on collision with player - Bullet spawn animation bloodspatter = How do I defy as specific animation as all I can see is how to do it using frames?

  • If you set the bullet angle to 180 it will go left, angle 0 it will go right = Tried this did'nt work it only shoots out at one angle at a time, how would I do it so it shoots from both 0 and 180 degrees at the same time?

  Hi,

  • So I am trying my best to firstly make the bullet spawn on a layer or z order under the player and enemy but it does not work when I do this? Am I doing something wrong here?

  • What code do I use to make the blood splatter using animations e.g. when a bullet collides with myself from the enemy.

  • How I do I spawn bullets coming out from both sides on a straight line?

  All the food is collected at the same time, it is dropped from a trap door and reaches the mouth all at the same time instantly. I am more lost now.

  Ok for the last bit:

  PLAYER ON COLLISION WITH FOOD

  • For "count" = 1 to TotalFood

  -- Spawn bullet

  -- Set bullet angle to loopindex * bullet_angle_inc

  If you could please be a bit more specific as having trouble seeing how to put this into construct 2 event sheet?

  Many thanks for your help so far.

  Ok thats a good start thanks. Additionally hows can I get the bullets magnetising now to the Player sprite, I noticed when I drop 6 food pellets it only generated 2 bullets?

  Hi,

  Sorry if the pro frantic nature of this offends anyone I have tried to censor where necessary.

  http://picpaste.com/problem-nTQDsYSD.png

  First of all the food amount is defined by how many I place on the level so for food I have added a instance variable of 1 so say if I paste two food sprites on the level 1 + 1 = 2 from the instance variable.

  As per the image how do I equate that to the amount of bullets? I added a instance variable also of 1 to S*** which is my bullet, so when it spawns a bullet I want it to shoot out the same amount of bullets as there is food in the level?

  If anyone is interested I am trying to create a feeding mechanism as I thought it would be an interesting project to help me learn Construct 2 better.

  Don't know if this is making it to complex say you had 2 bits of food equal two bullets, how would I say make bullet one shoot out of blob at say 35 degree and then say bullet 2 shoot out at double that angle which is 70 degrees and so on, perhaps global variable increments of 1?

  If anyone could tell me what I am doing wrong or correct my attempt would be much appreciated, I feel like I am getting no where and this is the best solution I have come up with so far. I think I am getting very confused with my logic and variables.

  Ok so somewhere in between this code I want to make the enemy explode or fade? I still can not figure out why it is not doing it.

  -> Bullet on collision with Enemy subtract 5 from (instancevarible) health

  bullet -> destroy

  Enemy Health < 0 enemy destroy

  < = is actually less than or equal to but don't know keyboard symbol

  Ok, forget about the explosion it just don't work. Going back to my original part of my question:

  I have:

  On Enemy Destroyed -> Start Fade

  But it always starts upon me starting the game? How do I delay it so that only when the enemy health falls below 0 that it starts the fade off? Perhaps someone could please show me in an example file?
