  • Could we have an example of when this effect would be used?

  • Cheers for the suggestion! Took your idea and run with it, removed the flags by just having the movement event activate on IsTouching :)

  • If you post your .capx file we can have a look, I'm not familiar with the tutorial but it sounds like the ball is using the bullet behaviour, which defaults the travel path as left-to-right, I would say add a system event that rotates your ball 90 degrees clockwise,but without seeing it I can't be certain :)

  • Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone had a good idea how to limit the drag and drop feature to an axis, so the object would only be able to be dragged up and down for example, like a zip!

    I've thought about using the clamp expression, and had confusing and glitchy results! Does anyone have a better idea?

    Cheers!

  • You'd lay it out like this:

    distance(Player.x, Player.y, Ball.x, Ball.y)COMPARISON (i.e greater, equal etc.) VALUE (0,1,7 etc.)

    Within the compare two values System event.

  • ^You would only receive payment for click-throughs in that case, and not impressions.

  • Hmmm...

    File size?

    Computer specs?

    Program info (Memory usage)?

    It sounds like you're computer's conking out due to stress, have you tried just running Construct 2 and setting it's priority to High in the Task Manager?

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Construct 2 has stopped responding or the game running in a browser? Do you know exactly what causes the problem?

  • scirra.com/me

    Recalculate rep function?

  • Goury: You'd be well within your rights to claim that; you would then file a statement expressing that claim to your legal counsel who would take it further: It could be a cease and desist, it could even be a lawsuit for damages incurred if you feel you're out of pocket, at the end of the day it would be brought before a judge and ultimately decided which party was in the wrong.

    In your case your solicitor would likely tell you that you didn't have a case, or more likely the judge would simply tell you to come back with a more convincing one.. As yours, whilst hypothetical, seems crazy: Inspiration is not copyright infringement, it would have to be fairly blatant forgery or contain incredibly strong similarities to even be considered as such.

    You don't seem to have a firm grasp of how the world works with talk of a conspiracy surrounding IP laws...

  • Think of it like an investment, if you've put down money for the product you're much more likely to make a real go of your work; not to mention have a bit of motivation for making some possible revenue.

    Frankly I'm amazed Scirra not only offer a free version of Construct 2, but also how fully featured it is: A 100 event limit and the exclusion of families barely dents the stupendous creative potential within the program; this reason alone was the reason I put down the cash for the product, very impressed with the quality up front and wanted to support.

    As for the price... I can't really empathise, at ?50 that's just over a days work for even the lowest paid job, and in comparison with the price of similar software, mindblowing. Even student versions of popular software can still cost triple figures, the price is bargain.

    An interesting route might be a freeium version of Construct 2, where you pay to unlock features like famalies and event limits, but at the lower levels any money you make with your games generates a cut for Scirra; from what I've seen I can't see them running with the idea, but it's one I'd fully support.

  • Goury, even a cursory glance at the citations/edit history of the Wiki article gives massive weight to it's validity... It's page ranking of 4+ out of 5 for each category (Trustworthiness, Completeness, Writing quality and Objectiveness)furthers the point. Ripping on Wikipedia has become the joke dumb people feel smart laughing at.

    For the topic at hand, I'd avoid using other's work as much as possible, in having to do work for yourself that you may not be experienced in is a great learning technique.

  • I'm not exactly excited, anything that allows a browser to simply stop implementing features isn't a big tick in my book; we could well have one browser doing the bare minimum and another keeping right up to the latest spec... It would similar to the IE/Chrome divide we have now, except much more dramatic in my eyes, there's a chance it could overcomplicate the dev process and make optimisation a real headache down the line.

    Not saying that Microsoft has been stellar up until now mind you...

  • I spent a worrying amount of time using the sphere one...

    Great effects though!

  • You could simply create dummy sprites to use for collisions and pin them to your image sprites?
