  • How do i communicate from the main game to a specific controller? eg: when a player gets hit, their controller flashes for example.

  • Naji - Perhaps if you either made a video from scratch or starting with a basic template like the health one, and talked about the basics of adding a feature to the plugin, or adding a new functionality to it, might help someone new to plugin making/your program understand how to use it to achieve a goal.

  • — - Ok i guess i'm not fully understanding how the actions being sent are supposed to be used correctly.

    The way i'm "thinking" it works, is that each "action" is like a button press from the player

    action1 = jump

    action 2 = shoot

    etc

    and therefore if you have a lot of input controls for your player, then you will run out.

    So perhaps you could explain the differences between an "action" as you call it, and a "signelaction"

    what cases would you use one or the other?

  • I see the biggest use of a plugin like this for couch co-op party games. There's a few out there already that use this type of multiplayer setup.

    One is Quiplash: http://store.steampowered.com/app/351510/

    and the other is Fibbage:

    but there's so many cool game ideas that could use the same sort of mechanics.

    Imagine and RPG where the main screen is the dungeon where you encounter monsters, and each player on their tablet is an adventurer. You could design the game so that it encourages players to talk to each other and play off each other's characters talents etc. Each player could issue commands from their phone on when to attack/heal/buff etc.

    There's another game out there that i forget the name of, but its a spaceship game where each player is a different crew member. One player is responsible for steering, while the next is in charge of shields etc. Each player has a completely different set of controls on their phone screen to deal with. You all have to work together to make the ship fly.

    I can't wait to keep playing with this plugin even more.

    — - Few thoughts.....

    1) Its spelled "Single" not "Signel" if you were trying to describe an action that takes place only once. Or perhaps you meant "Signal"

    2) also, i'm not sure in the joystick controller event sheet (event 4) where there's a condition "Action ="j"

    what's that being used for?

    3) Is there a way of having more than 4 actions and 2 singleactions in a project?

    Keep up the great work!

  • Naji - would you be able to make a video walking through how to make a basic plugin using your tool?

  • I'm sure this will be super helpful.

    I've always wanted to learn how to write/modify plugins for C2, and while i know a bit of javascript, what i really need is a series of video tutorials and someone to walk me through how they are setup etc.

    This will be a great tool to get a better understanding of the plugins.

  • Hi rexrainbow

    I'm trying to figure out which of your board plugins would work best for my situation.

    Imagine on a grid you can start dragging from a location, and it will highlight that spot. Then only when you drag up/down/left/right to a neighbouring grid space, that one will light up as well (unless its marked as unpassable).

    So you end up creating a path, but its not doing any "pathfinding". After you release the mouse button, an object would travel that path starting from where you started dragging.

    would a particular board plugin you have created simplify this for me?

    thanks

  • Keep up the great work OneMuppet

    I've had a lot of fun the last few days playing with it and coming up with game ideas.

  • Trying version 3 beta - I run node server.js and adjusting the IP in the event sheet. Then after starting the construct preview, it starts the game but no logs are showing up in the command prompt window.

    i tried disabling my firewall and also adding exceptions for port 50000, and 50001 like in the video.

    doesnt seem to connect to nodejs

    EDIT: ok im dumb. In case anyone else runs across this issue. Make sure you are running the "Start" layout first. duh. i was running the main game one.

  • I was never able to get the scirra gamepad plugin to work for the amazon fire tv to get gamepad/controller support for it. Were either of you?

  • I'd love to give this a go too please!

  • I've noticed the latest version of chrome breaks any use of "Tiled Sprite" in game. It still works fine in the latest internet explorer, but not chrome. Anyone else experiencing this?

    On whatever

    (Erase tile range (Tilemap.PositionToTIleX(Player.X)-1, Tilemap.PositionToTileY(Player.Y)-1, Area 3 x 3

    adjust the area values to make a larger square of tiles around the players current position
