  Hi,

  I'm having problems with adressing enemies in a family. Generally applying damage to members doesn't seem too work correctly, can someone give me a general idea what the correct approach is, to reference an individual in the family?

  I'm defining damage on collision per family and have my individual enemy types react to it differently, but i always get an individual per type not reacting correctly. How should i reference them correctly?

  Example:

  The 'enemies' family has a 'damage' variable. When hit I add to its damage.

  [attachment=0:1l3cmgrv][/attachment:1l3cmgrv]

  As each member type has different 'health' values, each member should compare the damage they took against their own health.

  [attachment=1:1l3cmgrv][/attachment:1l3cmgrv]

  Isn't this how it should work?

  where's my reply gone? anyway, repeat:

  sounds like a good approch, to check tags, but for that I'd have to get info from my turret's targets. Is it possible to reference those? Can I fetch my current target's variable data?

  My object uses the pathfinding: upon acquiring my player as a target through a turret behaviour it finds a path to it and then moves along it. When doing so it doesn't move at a consistent speed though. It's like it uses vastly different speeds between different waypoints. Any idea why that is? Ac-/Deceleration are both set really high, so this shouldn't play a role.

  Hey everyone,

  I'm trying to set up a simple AI with multiple Turret behaviours on one object. But the behaviours don't seem to make a difference about what target type gets into which behaviour's range.

  I want my little dude to approach my player when in range and in another behaviour attack an enemy when in (another) range. But with the attack range being larger and therefore triggering first, my little dude just attacks the player upon getting in range.

  Any idea how I could keep the two behaviours seperated?

  assuming it's not your player object, which you could simply ask for it's input (?)

  • you could either check your object's '.angle' when the object has some speed (meaning that it's probably moving in that direction, no?)
  • or if thats not corresponding in your setup you could store away your object's X and Y to compare your old x and y position to your current one

  Hi everyone,

  trying to get my xbox 360 wireless to work, but i feel it's not being recognized by construct2.

  tried a few things but shouldn't this (see pic) be working already? simply extended the topdown shooter template

  thanks for your time
