  • Whilst i would have coded some of the stuff covered a bit differently, i still think these are great tutorials. Good job!

  • works a bit better thanks.

    I was over complicating things lol

  • i'm trying to give my units various aim stats at the start of the game, which directly influence their firing accuracy.

    I'm trying to generate a random value, but i want the lowest number to be 30 and the highest possible number 90, because in my game 100 and they'd never miss, 0 and they'd never hit anything.

    So i tried somthing like,

    min(90,max(30,random(100)))

    it seems to come up with the min and max values a lot though.

  • you're right, thanks linkman.

    sorry about the false bug report.

  • is rotate layer, or rotate screen working? It's the first time i'm trying to do it, but can't seem to get either to work. I have 3d layer checked.

    start of layout > set set layer 1 angle to 45

  • Also the layer or screen wont zoom out bellow 100, you can zoom in like 200, but it wont zoom out.

    Maybe to do with the new 3d layering?

  • Try Construct 3

  • When i scroll about in the layout editor the canvas flashes revealing my events for a moment.

  • Just realised it goes by sprite not layer, sorry.

  • Could you please add an edit box for setting the z layer position of the layer in the layers properties window when 3d layering is enabled, where we currently set scroll rates etc. At the mo we have to set it through events.

    Thanks.

  • This is great, i really like the 3d sprite stuff, thanks!

  • Sorry to keep bringing this up, but Ashley posted a brief comment in the march update thread about a "path movement" planned for 0.9, is there any more info about this?

    Is this pathfinding for like a tiled movement, or something else?

    As i've said before the current rts pathfinding is unsuitable for certain games that need to move on a square route/board.

    thanks.

  • Prepare yourself for the mountains of junk that comes preinstalled.

    My brother got a new laptop a few months ago and not kidding we spent about 2 hours unistalling all the pointless adware and trial software they bundled it with.

    Also you need to make your own backup discs now, they no longer come with recovery discs.

  • I don't think the conviction will stand, as they've said its just a directory, they don't store the material themselves, in that regard they're no different than google. Should google be shut down?

    Rapidshare and other file storing places are far worse imho.

    I've downloaded lots of demos and stuff from pirate bay because the main download site was so slow.

  • I don't think those figures accuretly convay how good that game is, it's just there arent that many games to choose from or compete with yet. Every one will be rushing to make iphone games now and the market will become saturated. These people making big money simply got there first, and in my opinion that ship is already sailing.

    I'd like an iphone but they're too expensive just yet, and besides if you pulled one of those out here in the uk you'd probably get mugged and stabbed 10 seconds later.

  • I have a laptop with the geforce 8600m GT and construct works fine.
