  • This help a lot. Thanks. Just to small note though.It is a little bit unclear on how to use exceltojason. Need to add instruction on how to use it. Took some time to notice that you only had to copy and paste it straight in.

  • Thanks! I'll try this out soon. Last game i made i never added an exit button

  • If i was using node webkit to make the executable (exe). How would i program an exit button in Construct 2? It is a pretty dumb question, but i can't find a way to do it. Thanks!

  • Update: I tried what disminor said and it work. Thanks!

    Here is the code at the code.

  • I would make a variable called lane.

    left lane =1

    middle lane= 2

    right lane = 3

    on D press

    if lane not = 3

    set position car.x+50

    lane+1

    on A press

    if lane not =1

    set postion car.x-50

    lane-1

    Thanks dsminor. This will make it less likely for human error. What will each lane varilble equal i may ask? Would it be specific lane coordinate for each one?

    I like your information about changing lanes, but I would use moveto and rotate towards or set angle while moving.

    How would i implement moveto and rotate towards or set angle for this instance?

  • Hello.

    I'm trying to make an object(car) move/"teleport" left and right through 3 lanes using the keyboard controls. There is a solid brown barrier on the right, and I don't want the object to wrap. My first thought was to do

    //using A & D as left and right controls
Event: D was press on keyboard 
     Actions: If car is in the middle lane (check position) then object.x +50 (how much move on x axis)
             Else if object is in the right lane & Solid boarder is not near then object.x +50
[/code:1k3fzn04]
And so on so forth.
But by doing this, it would take more time to make it perfect, and vulnerable to human error. What are some alternative/simpler ways you can do this? Open to any plugin and behaviors. Thanks!

  • Hello.

    I'm trying to make it randomly choose from 3 text box objects. Condition System Pick seems like the best option, but it only does one object only. Is there anyway other way you can do this? I heard that you can use families, but i don't have the license yet to use it. I'm open though to use plugins and would be happy to try them out to solve this. Thanks. (Also small question. How can you say not equal to in C2? I tried the symbol and didn't work)

  • Never thought about it like that (kept sharing the capx), but how would that work if 2 branches have problem merging? Would it show the merge error in C2? Anyways Thanks Linkman2004 I'll try that out soon.

  • Hello. I have been using C2 for over a year now, and it is a great program. In that time frame, I noticed that C2 can only be programmed by one person at a time. To collaborate with multiple people, I was thinking about using a source manager like Github, but C2 is not a text-based programming software. What is the best way to collaborate with multiple programmers on C2? Please feel free to suggest any ideas and how they will work. Thanks

  • I'm interested in your app. What does the developer get off of this beside publishing there game?

  • Started playing Cards and Castle on my iphone. Nice indie cars game and hope it makes it on Steam. Still on Greenlight.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Thats pretty cool. The 5% loality can be much if it goes on too far, but im glad they are giving a good game engine to the community. Only of i learn that first before C2

  • Never mind i found the answer. Its actually in the manual in exporting. You have to run chrome with specific settings. Thanks for the help!

  • Remember, that due to browser security restrictions, running the the exported HTML5 isn't really supported unless hosted on either your own - or an external - website, such as Dropbox, Googledrive etc.

    Regarding an exe: this is an available export option after purchasing a license.

    How do I change the browser restriction then so it doesn't block it? Do I put the local address in the whitelist page or something? I'm using chrome.

  • Ok so I'm trying to export my game to html5 because I only have a free version ( poor tech student ). When i try to open the index.html it just gives me a black screen. How do i fix this?

    (I'm also trying to change it to html5 to exe too if you can help me with that on the side. ; )
