  • Hey. Trying to get a pause working here. Was following a simple tutorial n' everythign works just fine, but only if I use a different button to unpause. If I use the same button, the pause doesn't work. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    Here's my horrible hacked together attempt.

  • I had it as part of some event, it must have been repeating with each tick. Stuck it in its own event n' that sorted everything. Thanks for the help!

  • Hey. I've set the camera to shake for magnitude 0.5 and duration 0.5, on reducing magnitude. But it shakes for a few seconds no matter what I set these options to.

    Can anyone help me out with this one? Thanks.

  • Thanks, guys. I'll give it a go.

  • Hey. Been trying to figure this one out for a while, but I'm stumped. I can get the enemy to speed up when he sees the player, but I can't get him to resume his normal speed when they player gets outta his view. I didn't like using the line of sight function 'cause, from what I understand, it's a circle around the enemy, so he's gonna spot the player even with his back turned.

    Can anyone help?

    Here's how I have it set up. I'm probably going the wrong way about this, but I'm making this up as I go.

  • Thanks much, guys. I'll give it a go.

  • Hey. I have breakable blocks that play a smack sound when hit, if a few of them are hit at the same time, it plays all the sounds together, comes out really loud. Is there any way to limit only instance of that sound at a time?

  • Hmm... I think it'd be too noticable. You'd see the level beneath you disappear. I'll give a whack though. See how it turns out. Thanks.

  • Hey. Been working on a wee platformer hack n' slash thing to learn Construct. Here's a GIF of what I have so far (going for an NES look).

    Was wondering if anyone could help me with creating randomised levels. I don't want to generate everything in the level at random, just choose from pre-designed segments that slot in seamlessly. Is there any way to create a layout, then call different layouts at random as the screen continually scrolls in a direction. Or maybe it'd be better using a different method?

    Something like this...

    Thanks.

  • Thanks alot! I'll give it a go!

  • Thanks for the reply. Don't s'pose you could lay out what commands I'd need to use? I have no idea where to start. I was comparing the player's Y, but it was counting down.

  • Hey. Was wondering how I'd use a text box to display how high a player has traveled. I could figure out how to display his current height, but I'm guessing it'd go back down if he goes down. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

  • Aw yeah! That's brilliant! Thanks much!

  • Thanks for the replies. I'm a total noob to Construct, so I'm not really sure what I'm at. I've set the values like this, but it kinda just shifts the object a bit. There's no shaking. Sorry to be a pest.

  • Hey. Would love to get enemies to shake for a second when hit by the player. I've seen it in a video, but have no idea how to do it. I think guy used the Scroll To behaviour, but when I use it, it just shakes the whole camera! Can anyone help?

    Thanks.
