  • Hey, so I've been trying this formula out. I've actually tried it out on two separate .capx files and neither of them worked. Just trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong? In my case, however, I want the sliders to control music that has already started playing. I tried replicating the original .capx file exactly, and even by doing that it didn't work.

  • Thank you!

  • Hey all,

    Just been messing around with some events in my game, and I'm just trying to figure out the easiest way to control audio in my game with a slider. I've been using one way, but I talked to a friend and he did it another way. I played his game it works incredibly. His way used a global variable and a function call. Not too sure what that means, so I was hoping someone would have an idea? thanks!

  • That's awesome. Thanks a bunch! I really appreciate your help!

  • Awesome, thank you! However, I'm still trying to figure out how to allow the frame to change back and forth between true and false by clicking on it, if that makes sense. Like when I click the sprite, it changes frames, but when I click again nothing happens. And then how would I apply this to making the game go to fullscreen and windowed mode? Thanks again!

  • Hello!

    Currently, I am trying to make a checkbox control my fullscreen/windowed mode function in my game. I am trying to get the checkbox to go underneath the sprites I am using for the artwork of the checkbox, however when I send the box to the bottom layer, it's still visible on the top layer. Basically, I want the checkbox to be not visible on screen, but still able to be used. Is there any way of doing this easily? Or at all? Massive thanks to anyone who is able to help.

  • Hello again,

    With the game I'm currently working on, I would love to have an in-game search engine. So basically, I'd love to input a bunch of topics/words into the game, then give the player the ability to look up pretty much whatever they want, and see if anything shows up.

    Think of it this way: you are presented a search engine in the game you're playing. You decide to type something in and press search. Let's say you typed in "developer". I would want it to bring up a custom search result on the topic inputted by me/the dev. Is there any way to do something along those lines? I've heard something about the array feature helping with that, but I don't know much about most of the features on C2. Any help is welcome! Thanks!

  • dop2000 holy heck, that worked! Thanks so much, I truly appreciate it!

    Actually, one more question: whenever I exit the settings layout then enter it again, the slider bar resets it's position, but not the volume level. Is it possible to set the volume with the slider, then have the slider save it's position upon exit and re-entry of the layout?

  • dop2000 Thanks, but what I'm trying to figure out is kind of how to control audio that begins playing at the titles of the game. So basically, if you were to start up a game with music that plays at the titles and continues into the menu, and you wanted to lower that audio from the settings tab without the audio restarting on the opening of the settings tab, what would the code be to do that?

  • Hey guys.

    I'm trying to figure out how to have a slider bar control audio that has been already playing from another layout. I've gotten the slider bar to adjust audio levels when the layout with the slider bar is playing music. Now I want the opening titles layout to play music, then allow the slider bar to have control of that audio without having to restart the entire song on the opening of the layout with the slider bar. I don't know if that makes sense to anyone else, but if it does, much help would be appreciated!

  • What is the best format for exporting games from C2, then uploading them to itch.io for selling as a download?

  • I've been searching around for a solution to this and have tried multiple things myself, but nothing has worked out. The slider just moves and has no affect on anything. Any help is much appreciated! Thank you!

  • Thanks!

  • This just started happening to me, I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but I go to add a sprite to my game, which it let's me do, but it won't let me paint it. Solutions anyone?

  • I was working on a game, and this happens sometimes, but I clicked on the Projects tab somewhere, and it disconnected it from everything else. It also lost the Layers tab. Does anyone know how to get it back?
