  • Here is how I did it in my game:

    Paddle width is about 200px, origin point in its center.

    Ball has Bullet behavior, paddle doesn't have Solid behavior.

    Result looks something like this:

    Red line is the normal ball path (as when using "Bounce off solids").

    Blue line is the reflection if you use the formula from that youtube tutorial, which is not very realistic.

    Yellow line is the reflection in my game.

  • I prefer making a separate (invisible) draggable sprite.

    Say, you want to drag a small ball. Add another sprite DragBox, you can make it bigger than the ball, add Drag&Drop behavior to it. Add these events:

    DragBox is dragging -> Ball set position to (clamp(DragBox.x, ViewportLeft,ViewportRight), clamp(DragBox.y, ViewportTop,ViewportBottom))

    DragBox on Drag end -> DragBox set position to (Ball.X, Ball.Y)

    You can change clamp() parameters to limit dragging to some small area of the screen.

  • I think just "name.ext" should work. You can also try "/name.ext"

    Check that the exported file name is also in small letters (not "Name.EXT" for example)

  • You can check some things (screen size, resolution, fullscreen) using Browser plugin.

  • Since cars are moving in one line, you can simply check Y instead of using "overlapping at offset". So you can do something like this to maintain 100px distance between cars: 

    For each Cars1

 Cars2 compare Y<(Cars1.Y)
 Cars2 compare Y>(Cars1.Y-100) : Cars1 slow down

 Cars1 Compare Y<50 
 Cars2 compare Y>(LayoutHeight-50) : Cars1 slow down

  • Use Touch.X(layer) and Touch.Y(layer) to get touch coordinates on layer with different parallax. In your case Touch.X(0) and Touch.Y(0)

  • You can simply disable Bullet behavior for player's car. You can also exclude it from the "For each" loop using some condition, for example "Cars1 UID not equal <player's car UID>".

    Anyway, I made a little demo, maybe it'll help.

  • You need to add all car sprites, including PlayerCar, to a family. Actually, you need two identical families - Cars1 and Cars2.

    This will allow you to optimize your code: 

    For each Cars1
 Cars1 is overlapping Cars2 at offset (0,-50) -> Cars1 set Bullet disable
 Else Cars1 set Bullet enabled

  • Must be an error in the addon - it probably hits an infinite loop.

    It works fine when you drag, move and drop the player sprite very quickly and points are far away from each other. But if you move it slowly and the distance between points is small, it freezes.

    So I guess you need to filter the path - remove unnecessary points.

    Here is a quick fix:

  • Ehh.. what? Everything in Construct are instances of various objects. You are not dealing with objects, you are dealing with their instances.

    If you need to physically keep a group of different objects (instances) together, why not use Pin behavior? You can even add another invisible "base" sprite and pin them all onto it. Then just move the base, and the entire group will move with it.

    If your question is more about logically connecting them together, then it's a different story.

  • Looks like your 2 sprites and 2 text fields are all different objects, so you can actually add them all to a container. Container can combine objects of different types, but only one instance of each. Container will help with picking - you pick one "parent" object, and all other instances from this container are picked automatically. If you don't need some instance in the container, you can't destroy it, you will have to make it invisible, or move off the screen...

    .

    I'm not sure what's going on your screenshot. If all objects in one group are placed at some fixed distance from each other, I guess you can choose one "parent" object (questions sprite), and pin all other objects to it. And them change position of just the questions sprite.

  • And how are you going to make a mobile game without the Touch plugin?

    You can emulate touch events with mouse, but you can't emulate mouse events with touch.

  • Da :)

  • Try Construct 3

  • Then I think you need to fill this array "manually" (not using the CSV2Array plugin). 

    Set numberOfCards to CSV.At("6", "Deck1")
Repeat numberOfCards times -> CardArray push "6"

    this will add 4 copies of card "6" into the array

  • That's because you are talking about page zooming, which is a standard feature in any browser.

    But in your game you should do zooming with "Set layer/layout scale" action. And if you want to zoom using touch gestures, you need to add Touch plugin.
