  • So I'm currently working on a racing game, and the final position you score is determined by a family instance variable called Time_Spent_Racing, with the family being called "Racers" containing both the player and the CPUs. Time_Spent_Racing increases by 1 every tick, and the racer with the lowest Time_Spent_Racing gets their Final_Position instance variable set to 1 (1st place), and vice versa for getting last place.

    When a CPU crosses the finish line, their position should be calculated on the spot. If they've not crossed the finish line yet, their position should say "Running..." on the results screen until they've finished the race.

    I need a script that calculates each Racer's Time_Spent_Racing, and then ranking them from lowest to highest and then giving a respective Final_Position number (ie. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.)

    I'm sure there's an easy way to do this, but I just haven't found it yet. If any of you would like me to elaborate further, I can.

    Thanks!

  • If you're saying the problem is when you include the player with CPU, it can be resolved by using a Family for example called 'Racers' that contains the player and CPU, with a family instance variable for position for example Racers.pos

    Hey lionz, sorry for the late reply, but I wanted to ask how exactly I should change my code to account for a family instance variable? Also, should the family instance variable be for the PosScore or the current position?

  • Hello, I am working on a 2D top-down racing game. I've implemented CPU opponents as well as a system for calculating the player's current position (1st, 2nd, etc.) But I've been struggling with how to calculate the CPU's current position.

    The system I made is that each racer (both the player and all of the CPUs) have an instance variable called PosScore. Basically, the higher the PosScore, the further you are in the race. For the player, I can just compare the PosScore against all the other CPU's PosScores in order to calculate your current position. But for the CPUs it's different because I have to compare the PosScore against both the player and all the other CPUs.

    The preferable solution would be for every CPU to have a "CurrentPosition" instance variable that updates accordingly like it does for the player.

    Here's how I'm calculating the PosScore variables for both the CPUs and the player:

  • Hello C3 community,

    I'm currently working on my very own F-Zero fangame (I love the games so much) and I wanted to implement a mechanic where your acceleration decreases as you get faster, to provide a stronger sense of momentum.

    I want to use the Tween behavior to have the acceleration decrease gradually. So I made this script, and it doesn't seem to work properly. The player's acceleration doesn't change at all unless they're boosting. I checked the code and it didn't seem like there were any instances of the acceleration forcing itself to remain at its normal value every tick, so I'm not sure what to do here. Any help or alternative solutions are greatly appreciated!

  • Hello C3 community,

    I made this fun little top-down F-Zero prototype in a few days, and I'm really happy with how it turned out! I plan to make this engine into a full F-Zero fangame at some point, so I'd really appreciate you guys' support and feedback!

    You can play the game here: https://www.construct.net/en/free-online-games/f-zero-game-prototype-62414/play

  • UPDATE: I figured it out, turns out that I had the wall at a very slight angle of 0.7 instead of 0, which allowed me to stand on it. Kind of a silly mistake on my part lol

  • Yeah that can't be the issue then. It's hard to guess without a cp3 file.

    I can provide that

  • I said I already followed a tutorial, so what do you mean by this?

  • Hello Construct Forums,

    I was making a wall jump code (code taken from these videos) And after some testing I found a strange bug that only happens when a player walljumps off of the left side of a wall while holding right (it dosen't work on the right side.) The player will jitter and get stuck (see the video) This bug is very inconsistent as well, sometimes it just doesn't happen and the walljump works as intended. This might be related to another bug that I'm having where my player can stand on walls, but unlike this bug, that bug only works on the right side of a wall. (forum post for that bug here.

    )

  • Yes, it does have a separate sprite with the platform behavior. Although its collision polygon is set to bounding box, so I'm not sure if that's the issue

  • Hello Construct Forums,

    I was programming a wall jump and wall slide mechanic into my game when I ran into an issue where the player can stand on the right side of any wall (this only seems to happen on the right side, not the left side.) I did some troubleshooting and found that the issue is not with the wall slide code, as deleting the code does not fix the issue. It's worth noting that the walls are using the Solid behavior and I'm using a 64x64 tilemap. The player hurtbox is a square and is much smaller than the player. Another thing worth mentioning is the origin point for the Player's sprite (the one for the animations, not the hurtbox.) Since each animation is differently sized because I exported them weird, the origin point shifts, causing the hurtbox to also shift perhaps. But I'm not sure of this either because making the origin point the same for every animation dosen't fix the issue, and I can't find any visible hurbox shift in debug mode. So overall I'm pretty stumped. Any ideas on what I should do? I can provide more information and screenshots if you want.

  • Hey guys! I'm here to show off my first game ever completed in Construct 3, Gizblaster, which has just released on both the Construct 3 Arcade and itch.io. This game was made using the free version of Construct 3, with the game maxing out the 50 event limit. I'm proud of how the game turned out, and I hope that ya'll will check it out and get the new highest score world record! (Current WR as of 07/07/23 is 6400 by trevisbadoo on the itch.io version of the game)

  • 2 things: With the spacebar down, your adding 1 to ChargeTime every tick the spacebars down, this will mean the ChargeTime variable fly's up very quickly and your code is set to less than/equal to 60, so chances are the variables going to be above 60 and not call the next code. Looks like it should be more than/equal to 60.

    Secondly, assuming the spacebar is released and the ChargeTime variable is over/under the correct value, the Gizbot should spawn the laser - is the laser spawning under the gisbot sprite? It could be on a different layer. You'd then need to add Laser On Created and set the angle etc you want it to fire at. Bullet speed could also be set to zero.

    Have a look with the debug tool open and see if it's spawning

    I see, thank you! I'll check if this works
