  • Make sure to use "Key is down" condition, not "On key pressed".

  • Construct doesn't support isometric tilemaps. You can fake an isometric tilemap by layering two tilemaps:

  • Have you tried 7zip?

    If 7zip can't unpack your project, then it's broken beyond repair. Move on and don't forget to back up your work in the future.

  • I suggest you use a Tilemap instead. You can pre-fill it with grass tiles in the editor, and then spawn other objects on selected tiles.

    A single tilemap will be massively better for performance than a thousand of small sprites.

    Check out the built-in examples in C3, there are lots of demo games which you can use a template for your game.

  • Try using 7zip. If it can't open your project, then the file must corrupted and there's probably nothing you can do to restore it.

  • The most simple level selection screen can be done with one event. Create an instance variable "levelNumber" on level selection sprites and add this event:

    Mouse on clicked LevelButton -> System Go to layout (by name) "Level"&LevelButton.levelNumber

    But of course if you want to track progress and lock/unlock some levels, this will require more effort.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Well of course it would create more and more blocks every 0.5 seconds, because each new created block will trigger event #1 and spawn 4 more blocks.

    What exactly are you trying to achieve?

  • Check the Volume Mixer, maybe Windows reduces the volume for this app.

  • I'm using pngquant. I believe it works better than the built-in compressor and produces smaller files. Export the project and then run this command in the folder with images: 

    pngquant.exe --ext=.png --force --verbose --quality=45-85 *.png

  • Turns out GetMonth returns a number from 0 to 11 (which is quite silly).

    So October is number 9

  • Well, there aren't many other options. It could be a bug of course, but I think it's unlikely.

    Are you using templates? Maybe when you create an object from a template, it's always created with its children.

    Or perhaps there is an event that creates the child object when the parent is created? It's hard to speculate without the project file.

  • Compare two values: Date.GetMonth(Date.Now)=10

    Compare two values: Date.GetDate(Date.Now)=31

  • Check if the first object is part of a container.

  • There is a checkbox "Create hierarchy" in Create/Spawn action.

  • You can execute any program using NWjs action. For example, to lock your PC on Windows you need to run this command:

    Rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation

    However, making such an app with Construct will be difficult. (unless you only want to make it as a fun project). Mainly because Construct app won't work in background.
