  • Do you mean data or displayed text? You can store data in arrays if you want, import the data from somewhere else. For displaying the text there is a text object, or for text input there is a textbox object.

  • random(x,y)

  • When you create the instance you can set its variables in the same event.

  • yes, but if I'm nested in more than 1 "For Each"? like I'm in the third level, but I need to find the level 2 loopindex?

    I still just use loopindex within its own loop. If you have a problem grabbing data then please explain the problem.

  • You can just use loopindex

  • No problem, understanding 'picking' is a good thing to have when using Construct :)

  • Just some tutorial text highlighting the system saying you still need X amount of resource would be enough to make me go back in. It's the repetitiveness of late game I would be more concerned about. The icon on the right I meant the one on the HUD you kept highlighting as needing to fill 100 to build an outpost, at the moment I wouldn't say it was clear this icon is the important one to fill to 100 and pass the tutorial.

  • Set text to ""&Variable1

  • You have nothing to worry about when it is on mobile because you must delete app data and doing this is usually a sign you want to delete the app and all save games. When you update the app, the previous save data remains.

  • Congrats on the game it looks very nice, probably more in depth than No Man's Sky lol. I don't think it looks too repetitive to keep scavenging until you reach 100, if I was a new player though I wouldn't think that icon in the right is more important than any other icon, maybe it could be highlighted as such. Maybe you could stop the player from re-entering a system they are already orbiting so they are forced to try somewhere else? It's also not clear what the enemy is doing, I guess that's where the real gameplay comes in other than collecting resources.

  • Ya so as mentioned above you must add a variable condition with the 'pick random instance' condition that excludes the vent so you can say ventopen=1.

    You can add a timer behaviour to the vent, when you collide start the timer for 10 seconds. Then another event 'on timer finished' set it back to 1.

  • From the manual :

    Autoplay

    The autoplay or preload mode. This can be:

    No: nothing is done until the video is requested to be played.

    Preload: on startup the video will start downloading the video data, but will not start playing it yet. This can allow video playback to start more quickly when requested. Some platforms (e.g. mobile devices on cellular data connections) may ignore this.

    Yes: on startup the video will start downloading the video data, and also start playing it as soon as it determines the progress and transfer rate are sufficient to play through to the end without stalling for buffering. Some mobile platforms will not start playing until the first touch event - see Compatibility for more information.

  • Get out of the habit of putting every X seconds as a sub event of an event that is running every tick. Move the every X seconds out to its own event and you will have less problems.

  • So the idea is when you collide with ventreturn you want to pick a random vent but not the one you collided with to get to ventreturn? There's a lot of inbetween events here.
