  • Do you have the layer set to global on which the object resides ?

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Are you doing a fading effect (layer effect or like lerped opacity) at the same time too perhaps ?

  • Try it without the delta time.

  • Put your events in categorized groups and check the profiler debugger which group takes up most CPU.

  • The websocket connections are less reliable then the official scirra multiplayer connections.

    You will have to implement a method for redundancy in your connections with the node js server.

    Something like checking if a transmission has been received/processed, and if not, try again till it gets through or store information locally which can be updated once the connection is back.

  • You need to set up the connection first.

    Take a look at the templates with the multiplayer templates to set up a working connection.

    After that its a matter of choice, either synch all the objects you want with the multiplayer object synch (this can be heavy on the lag if you synch too much) or loop through the objects to be synched once a peer connects, and sent their states (asjson) over to the peer, which catches the messages and sets the objects accordingly (create them if needed)

    After the initial synch you could broadcast object states/changes in messages to peers.

    You and I differ on so many things. I have no quarrel with the community at all, as you falsely claim.

    "you are not a customer"

    Thank you for trying so hard in making me feeling unwelcome here.

    Example: If I go to Google/Apple store via my mobile phone and download a game which has ads but you can pay if you want. Am I a customer or not to the company who created that game? In my opinion I sure am, and I bet that the company looks at it the same way. But you're saying no. Since I haven't paid. I wonder if Scirra shares your opinion in this question.

    Customer to apple/google store ? wrong forum if thats the case ...

    otherwise ...

    If you made it, you are breaking scirra TOS:

    The Free Edition is permitted for use by anyone for non commercial use.

    Commercial use counts as but is not limited to: use within any business (other than limited testing for suitability), generating advertising revenue, selling or licensing generated content or intention or capability to generate revenue.

    "I've been using Construct 2 far longer than you have, haven't I ?"

    I never said anything about that and I really don't care how long experience you have with C2. It doesn't help you, nor me that much in this discussion right now, does it? I'm not comparing the size of our p*nises.

    This particular mod happens to attend the newcomers on the forum and awnser any questions they may have. His experience counts.

    "I have had my fair share of trolls and idiots"

    If I was founder of Scirra I'd be more careful with who I put as a moderator on their forum. Calling customers (even if they're bad customers) trolls and idiots is unprofessional - it is especially bad when it's done in front of thousands of other customers. Try that in any other company and you'll see.

    So glad you are not.

    Ever been with other companies/fora ?

    "Have I accused you of being somebody else ? No, not at all. I have mentioned another person using the same kind of vocabulary and having the same kind of issues with our community."

    You forgot to include the last sentence from the original post. Where you also said "What a coincidence..." - As if I was him and that he returned to this forum. That's what I reacted on. You implying that. But also your threat about giving me a ban for no reason.

    You feel strangly accused of something here .... and being a bit defensive ... most would have laughed it off.

    "Also I forgot, yet another technicality, but everybody gets the point by now, those are a community forum, not customer service."

    No, what you forget is that you as a moderator is part of Scirra's customer service, whether you like it or not. You are part of the service they have for customers. You deal with their customers. If you really can't see the connection then there's another reason Scirra should reconsider who they make moderator on their site.

    After all it's all about their product and their customers. Not about one single moderator with attitude and easily hurt feelings, who needs to relax a bit and return to his main job - customer service. Anyway, you still have a nasty tone throughout but also trying to riducule me "But comfort yourself, I'm nasty, wooooooh" but I've calmed down and realize that you and I will not be friends that's for sure.

    It is also about a community ... in which you are being a bit of a pain in the ass right about now.

    But Ashley I need to know right now if I can continue to stay on this forum or if I will be banned - for nothing - which Kyatric threatens with.

    I can go back to ask my noob questions again.

    A member mentioned banning .... why so scared ? got something to hide

  • Chrome and Firefox, hit CTRL + SHIFT + J

    This brings up the console, and if any ... it will show errors, notices, and lots more.

    Congratulations on "*halfway the business license and counting*"

    I came here as a last resort before I leave C2. Maybe I could get some direction, some help, some motivation to keep struggling, something... I don't know. Your points of views, your experiences and stories... maybe could help.

    The thing I expected the least was that a moderator would piss me off like this. Seriously, what a bad customer support! It's not the first time he has this arrogant behaviour towards me. He really hit the last nail in the coffin...

    Thanks

    tbh, You have a 8 page thread with generally your discontent ... and community members supporting the software ... Lots of pointers involved ... and lots mentioning you can always ask for help in the forum.

    You seem to wave the tips and advices in the wind, and rightout say folks are 'blindly' supporting something ... actually telling them something which generally resembles an insult ....

    After such posts I would neither expect a moderator to handle/communicate-with you with satin gloves.

    I will point out what others have done too ... this community is strong in its support, and .. if you check the variety of help topics, you would see that almost any problem is handled in dozens of ways. You just have to search for your applicable solutions.

    And if all else fails, you can always just ask in the forum.

    Afraid someone takes your stuff ? make a trimmed down version and use that when asking for solutions.

    Though Scirra mentions that games can be created easily ... they never mention a time span and 'easily' is a relative concept.

    To give that some contrast:

    I have spent an evening on a single game that made more revenue in a couple days then a game I took 4 months developing which has been online for weeks :\</p>

    Mr X. stop toying with this program and actually try to use it decently

    And Mr X. something tells me you are throwing in this topic intentionally .... your replies are intentionally spiting some members and mods ...

    Smells like you failed designing something and now try to seek attention for your lack of skills, blaiming it on a perfectly good toy

    For me its been one of the coolest toys I ever had

    *halfway the business license and counting*

  • Nah not persé, keep going I guess, it really just a matter of finding what works good for you

  • Change the "inputs" precision to low (client tag AND synch variable) and remove the linear option. (set interpolation of both to none)

    Change position synching precision to normal.

  • when the game loads in your browser, hit CTRL + SHIFT + J for the browser consle

    You should be able to see error messages there.

  • You can do it all with a single line of code

    set animation frame ceil(70*(1+ShipBase.Angle/360)-0.5)%70

    Just add a blank image as 0
