Guyon's Forum Posts

  • I am VERY excited about your platform tutorial deadeye. I am very close to finishing up my first (learning) game and really want to do a platform one. You explanations in other posts are incredable, and many times you make up examples. You are a credit to this group.

    ..and thanks for redoing this tutorial (again).

  • I have the score working but can't seem to add the player name that you type in the field. Little help please

  • What a great start to a game I can't wait to see the end. Can I see your .cap file to lean from you?

    Here is my input on your game.

    * I am not sure if I love or hate the movement when you shoot. But keep it a nice twist.

    Needs score display, and high score of course, (sound, music etc)

    \My biggest problem is the screen size. No one plays with small screens now and that window is micro.

    I can not wait to see the final on this, and keep the name as is. "Dark Space Rocks" doesn't cut it

  • Can an .ini hold more an 1 variable? Or do I need to have 2 ini files to have name and high score?

  • Guyon is a character in a book by my favorite author Edmund Spencer. Strangely it is already taken already on many sites. I am glad that did not choose Lancelot. LOL

  • My son's RL nickname is CF:

    His name is Christopher and was on a baseball tournament team that consisted of 3 Christopher's, 3 Alex's, and 2 Zack's. Needless to say they needed nicknames. So my son got CF which were his initials, but also turned out to be the position he played. Center Field.

    Strangely when I played Base Ball I played Right Field and my initials are RF.

    Sadly when my son gets a boy he will have to name him Leonardo.

  • I got this to work but there has to be a better way. I found it my just guessing. Construct was not very intuitive here. It took me 30 minutes of playing. Coding would have taken 30 seconds.

    Car On Bounce

    Sub-event) Car Is Moving: Car Stop

    (Sub-event) Trigger Once: MaxSpeed - Car[Car].MaxSpeed -25

  • I am new to Construct so I am just getting up to speed, but while making games in Game Maker I used their scripting language in every program.

    As I progress I am trying every way to hold off from using Python because it seem to be broken more than working. That said I would not want to get deep into a game only to find that all my efforts are lost due to another Python outage.

    One of the big claimed advantages Construct has over Game Maker is the scripting language. I really hope Scirra can get this problem solved. It will make a great programming tool even better!

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • In my car game every time it hits the wall I deduct from its top speed due to damage.

    The problem is that in a tight hair pin turns you can bounce back and forth so much that the car is wrecked. But If I use the stop command the car stays in contact with the wall and continues to take damage until it can not move.

    Any ideas how make this work?

    I wish you could control, the amount of bounce and dampen it.

  • That was a huge help toralord

    THANK YOU!!!

  • Great example for high score gammabeam !!!

    Can you do one for the display time too please?

  • I need to time how long it takes for you to complete my game, form start to end. Can someone explain (or give an an example) of a timer. I need help to report in seconds, and then display it the time.

    Also is there a high score?

  • Well layouts were not as obvious as you might think for a new user. They are now. that I am aware of them now.

    Thanks for all you help I will be done with my beginner game soon now.

  • WOW layouts Changed everything! They are like the rooms on GameMaker.

    Thanks deadeye you example really helped and I suggest you put it up on the tutorial page for new users, since it shows so much that in really not explained.

    BTW I can not tutorial on how to make your own GUI buttons
