  • Oh, wait, you want to add 8 random letters to the array? (I thought you are picking letters from the array)

    You can first add the entire alphabet to the array and then delete 18 random elements:

    Array Load from JSON "{""c2array"":true,""size"":[26,1,1],""data"":[[[""a""]],[[""b""]],[[""c""]], .... }"

    System Repeat 18 times -> Array Delete index (int(random(array.width)))

  • You can delete elements from the array.

    Pick random letter, then remove it from the array.

  • Oh, you meant "dictionary" type app, not the Dictionary data object in Construct 2!

    Check out the CSV plugin:

  • Did you read my answer? On my Android phone the image is saved in Download folder.

    I still don't understand why can't you just test this yourself.

  • I've seen this in some games - you agree to watch a video ad and in return get some coins or addition lives etc.

    Which ad networks support this feature?

    Is there a C2 plugin for this?

  • You need to post all events where you set different animations depending on platform states.

  • And, what's the problem? You don't have an android phone?

    I tried it on my phone in preview mode, the image is saved to Download folder.

    By the way, you should use "System->On canvas snapshot" event before you can invoke download.

  • EskilPotet,

    Do you mirror your character when it's moving to the left?

    If yes, then you should add another sub-event after you spawn your bullet:

    Character is mirrored -> Set bullet angle of motion to 180

    So when not mirrored, the angle will be 0, when mirrored the angle will be 180.

  • This is a very broad question and you didn't provide much information about your game.

    You can keep three copies of each key with language suffix, for example:

    Key="book_en"

    Key="book_fr"

    Key="book_it"

    Or you can store all three values in one key:

    Key="book"

    Data="en:book,fr:livre,it:libro"

    Then you'll need a function that will parse this string and return the right value for each language.

    As for the second question, it's better to use smaller sprites, tiled backgrounds and text objects for text. If you make each page as a big sprite, it will use a lot of memory!

    See this blog post from Scirra:

  • Add an event:

    Wait 3 seconds

    Move HUD_sprite to layer 0

    If it becomes visible after 3 seconds, you will know that the issue is with your HUD layer. If the sprite is still invisible, the problem must be with the sprite itself.

    And I agree with zenox98 - it would be so much easier if you could just share your capx.

  • Put a second tilemap (light mask) on top of your main tilemap. With tiles ranging from transparent to 100% black.

    For better results you can add some blending effect to it, for example "Multiply".

  • matrixreal

    Can't you simply try it and check both folders?

  • Zion

    The problem with your code is that after you set animation frame to 1 in event #2, you set it back to 0 in event #3.

    Simply add Else condition:

    Or you can do this all in one event and one action:

    On touched sprite-> Sprite set animation frame to (Sprite.AnimationFrame=0)

  • Q1: it's hard to say what was the problem without seeing your events.

    If you were changing the angle of the aiming object without picking root object first, then no wonder it was affecting all aiming objects.

    Q2: "Trigger once" condition does not work per object or per container. After the first object reached Y coordinate (and stays there), this event will not be triggered again when other objects reach the same coordinate.

    Instead of "Trigger once" you should add an instance variable "bulletIsFired" to your object, set it to true when it reaches Y. And use it as a second condition to prevent firing again.

  • It should work. Please share your event sheet or capx file.
