  • Hey Yoshicat, I played briefly as I need to go to sleep. I would say that it is evident that you put a lot of love into it. I'm looking forward to seeing it grow. Also great music.

    The main gripe I had is frustrations with control. At the very first menu screen I thought the game wasn't working because the arrow keys and Enter didn't do anything. There also weren't any instructions on the page on how to actually control the game.

    Then eventually I realize it's WASD and Spacebar. OK. Next I had many moments even in these few minutes that I played where thought the game froze, but it didn't, it just took its time. I think that needs to be telegraphed to the player somehow. Like when I took the sword, just nothing happened for a few seconds, and then again for a few seconds. I didn't realize I was in a "cutscene".

    Then in that tutorial bit that explains how to attack I thought it was stuck again, but I needed to press spacebar to make the text pass.

  • Thanks, that looks really elegant. I'll try that too.

  • Oh god, thanks. I was really confused about that.

  • Thank you, that works!

    Creates some new complications but I think I can handle those.

  • Hi all,

    I want my player sprite to rotate around itself when double-jumping, but when it rotates around the origin point which is the bottom of the sprite it looks really weird.

    How do I make it rotate around a different point that I created? I don't see a way to do that with just the Set Angle action.

    Thanks!

  • OK, I think I got it. Thanks again. I'll see how this works interacting with the character.

  • Thank you! I wasn't aware of the collision polygon, now I know. Any hotkey to quick-add points? The automatic recognition didn't do much.

  • Hi all,

    I'm trying to create a skate park half-pipe thing that the character could skate on smoothly.

    Basically to start I'm looking to create a curved surface. I searched the forums but didn't find a clear answer on how to achieve curves in Construct. The newest answers say that I should put in a sprite in the shape I want and edit the image points on it to make it behave like a curved object too.

    My problems:

    a. Placing image points is very slow. Is there a keyboard shortcut or a drag and duplicate way of doing it?

    b. How do I make the character (let's say with a Platform behavior) actually interact with those image points?

    c. Alternatively, if you know of a better way to make curves, let me know!

    Thank you!

  • Thank you. Coincidentally I already started that learning-Javascript-through-Construct course, and it's really good. Pleasant way to learn.

    Will look into the examples too, I hope I'll learn from that how to get it done.

    Cheers

  • I got closer using another answer in this forum, but still not quite there.

  • Hi Constructors,

    Please excuse my noobness in both JS and Construct.

    I want to know how I can view the javascript syntax of an event that happens in Construct, so that I can use it in the scripting.

    For example here, I'm trying to make the Player jump when the mic volume is high enough, so I want to take the action from the bottom - simulate jump on the player platform behavior - and put it inside the if statement right above it. But I don't know how to write it in Javascript.

    Any input appreciated. Thanks!
