  • I'm still trying to learn how to use Construct, I am reskinning and tweaking a template game I bought off the asset store as a learning tool.

    I know how to play a song or sound effect on individual levels when they're separated with their own event sheets, I didn't have any issues implementing a BG song to the main menu that stops when you go to the level select screen.

    But the original creator of the template has all the actual game levels arranged in an odd way that I don't understand yet. When I try to edit the event sheet for any of the levels every event sheet looks exactly the same. Even at the top, regardless of if it's the event sheet for Level 1 or Level 7 it even says, "Global Number Level = 1".

    When I try to add the song to the event sheet for the 1st level like I did with the main menu "System - On Start of Layout - Audio - Play Town Song looping at volume 0db" nothing happens.

    Any clue on what I need to do?

  • I tried looking up tutorials on youtube but I run into nothing but the same copy & paste tutorial "How to make a platformer game".

    No matter how many times I watch another one I never learn anything, it's always the same ultra basic tutorial where they just show you how to add a sprite to the scene and how to make him move.

    How do you actually make a full game? How do you make something, that's playable?

    How do you visually script the actions you want for the games you're trying to make?

    Like let's say I wanted to make a top down 2D Battle Royale game.

    How would I create a zone? How do I create an inventory system? How do I display the amount of people still alive? How do I create a random RNG system for loot?

    How do I play a separate animation when I shoot? How do I create a melee attack?

    How do you set up hitboxes? How do you make a game over screen?

    The visual scripting isn't explained very well, I just feel like a madman entering words into the event page and praying it works but it never does what I want.

    I've had Construct 3 since July and have learned nothing.

    I want to fully learn the engine... or get a refund but that already got denied in August xD
