  • I assume you have 'Bounce Off Solid' checked.

    You either a) have to use the physics behavior or b) do it with math (can't help you there sorry)

  • It would be helpful before submitting to preview the post so we can see how it looks. Especially since the editor and the resulting post look so dramatically different.

  • you should init your bool to FALSE (unchecked).

    and add another condition to your Pause

    (right-click and set bool cond to inverted) 

    EVENT: On Press Enter AND (NOT) is paused
ACTION: set paused to true
ACTION: timescale 0

    to unpause 

    EVENT: On Press Enter AND is paused
ACTION: set paused to false
ACTION: timescale 1

    don't use Toggle.. it's just confusing.

  • I still don't see the 'get', do you have the Get in an Action?

    also line #9: I have to say I've never seen a: NOT >= it's not very intuitive, I would change it to < 4

    I wouldn't mind a method for centralizing the location of information. Sometimes I recall reading something useful and I can't remember if it came from a blog post, forum post, or tutorial.

    I wish there was a Construct Wiki that users could contribute to...

    for example... I would love this response from fisholith in a wiki!

  • there's always room for improvement. Its tired trope that programmers don't want to write documentation. I've been coding since 1995 so I've seen my fair share.

    I've gone to the doc MANY times only to find a half of a sentence of information. Other times information is just missing. Other times the info is satisfactory - but it's always extremely brief. I always end up figuring my question out, from the forum or my own testing, but if the doc was a little more detailed I would probably spend a lot less time trying to figure things out.

    I also know because I used to HAVE to write tech doc for things I wrote... and I hated it. In fact times, my doc was also half sentences...until I got yelled at to fix it!

  • Kyatric Tom has responded to this thread in the past.

    I guess I don't know what posts are appropriate for this thread.

    If this is not the place to give feedback about a website issues perhaps the name needs to be changed or thread be locked with only a sticky to the link you mentioned.

    I honestly don't want to fill out a whole bug report, I don't think I can reproduce half the issues I see, I was just passing along something that has happened repeatedly to me. I'm just trying to be helpful.

    For instance here's another issue: when you hit reply to a thread and if you immediately start typing, the text field does not have the focus and all the keystrokes are doing nothing because you realize the cursor is not in the textbox. So you have to click the textbox then start typing. Is this a bug? or an "issue"?

  • something is very off with how the website updates.

    if and when I edit a post, it doesn't show the change right away. but sometimes it never takes and I have to edit it again and then it takes.

    another issue I had tonight. I replied to someone's topic. It showed no one else had replied to the topic. After I hit POST. I didn't see my reply but instead saw oosyrags. So I figured it was doing that thing again, so I refreshed my browser. Then the reply turned into my reply and oosyrag's was gone. Then I hit refresh again and then my reply was gone and oosyrags was there again. Everytime I hit refresh it bounces back between them. From the Forum Home the number shows only 2 posts, it should show 3: the OP, oosyrag and my post. Very strange.

  • convert the old functions to the new Function method. Then remove the Function object and you won't see them come up anymore since the old Function was an 'object'.

  • no, I mean anything can get stuck on a corner. I just meant try to turn before you are around that edge you will just keep walking into the wall - not actually get 'stuck'.

    you just have to make your obstacles have less 'hard' corners. Make your art have no collision, then just make a generic sprite (fill a box) with solid. And make it's initial invisibility false. round the edges of the collision boxes, then layer them on top of your obstacle art.

  • yeah about 2 years sounds about right.
