  • Hello all,

    I have been creating a day/night cycle for my game and have run into one issue. First, let me explain how I did it.

    I have one instance called Day_Night. It is as big as the width of the viewport and square. One corner has the sun, the other has the moon and the image point is in the middle. It has the rotate behavior and is on a layer called Sun/Moon with parallax 0,0. Then is the Darkness object. It has the fade behavior and is programmed to fade in or out to match the sun/moon. It is also on layer 'Darkness,' which has 'force own texture' enabled and is parallax 100,100. This all works fine.

    The problem is that the darkness layer is higher than the Sun/Moon layer and covers up the sun and moon. I have light instances that work like the 'Simple lighting example' project on the start page. They are on layer 'Darkness' so they pierce the darkness. I cannot get them to stay at the sun and moon, because they are on different layers with different parallaxes. I have tried the 'Every tick set position' and the pin behavior. Keep in mind that the sun and moon are one object and that I cannot move the layers around due to how my game works.

    Any help with this will be appreciated.

    Thanks, Give me a Pixel

  • I realized I can copy and paste as long as I am not on the Rectangle Select tool.

  • How can I file a bug report? I cannot fill out most of the guidelines and it will probably be closed.

  • So can you fix this? It is very annoying and happens any time I try to copy and paste.

  • Hello. I have experienced a crash in a stable construct release. I don't know where to post it because I cannot fill out all of the required information on Github. Please help!

  • Sorry, I don't know. Maybe newt might know. He/she seems more advanced in this particular kind of thing.

  • Picture attached:

  • Check out the 'Move to Mouse' Example in the beginner examples on the Construct start page.

  • Okay.

  • This is top secret LOL! The code for the bows.

  • It works, what can I say?

  • Oh well, It's solved. I will take this into consideration in the future.

    Thanks again!

  • YES! I GOT IT. I ADDED A 'WAIT FOR PREVIOUS ACTIONS TO COMPLETE BEFORE EVERYTHING AND IT WORKED!!!

    Thank you!

  • It is saying the angle is zero every time. Do you know why?

  • Never mind, I think I figured it out and will try it. :)
