  • I'm not quite understanding what you mean by move the included event sheets, do you mean adjust the order of them as they are listed? That doesn't have any effect. Everything seems to be working for me. Please detail what you are expecting to happen in the game and what isn't happening for you because I can see no problem.

  • In my opinion it should not be that you dream of making a living out of game development but more so that you dream of having a completed and released game which is an achievement in itself, and then continue to make games as a passion whether they make money or not.

    I am in a similar situation to yourself and if you have a steady job in the games industry then the money made as an indie dev shouldn't matter as much, so you can enjoy the process of making games. You won't need to frantically ship out cheap and tired mobile games in the hope of making some easy money, but also you should keep an eye on the scope of a passion project and not spend years on it for it only to be half complete and unused.

    Think of an idea for a game you want to make and try and complete it, which admittedly has been the toughest obstacle to overcome for me as I've found keeping interest in one idea to be one of the hardest things to do as an indie dev.

  • yes I'm used to receiving capx files, you can comment where the error is in the code if you have a general idea. Even if I received a capx from someone who had a bug and trouble finding out where the problem is, colour coded events would not resolve that problem, so I am saying it is not useful in that situation.

    If you're talking about using colours for people with learning difficulties then that's something different.

  • Seems perfectly fine to me, the HUD works, the debug commands work and the player mechanics work. What is broken for you?

  • Nope, only annual subscription for personal license.

  • This seems unnecessary because :

    - You shouldn't be reading another person's capx file

    - The long list of events, you should have written them so generally know what to look for

    - There is a search option to find any event

  • It won't be a bug, share the capx via link and someone can resolve the issue.

  • Ah I see, well based on that info I think the blank frame is a good workaround, but I can see how that would get annoying to do if you are applying the logic to many animations across many objects. Good luck!

  • Create a sprite, double click to open the image editor, right-click on the frames and import sprite sheet.

    All the info is here : construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/interface/animations-editor

  • Looks interesting, I'll add it to my list and buy it soon.

  • It looks like you want this : set text to ""&Sprite3.angle which would just display the angle in text.

  • Salman_Shh haha awesome!

    everyone's prototypes look so cool, also glad to see I'm not the only one trying out random ideas all the time.

  • Looks promising, I like the style, makes me want to explore and enter houses. I created two blocks that I could drag around but not sure what they were for, random game!

  • You can use another system expression tokenat("text", index, separator) to do this. So with this expression you can call each word of the sentence in turn which will have index 0, 1, 2 etc, then once returned you can use len("returned text") to calculate the length of that returned word. Then you will need logic to find the largest of the returned lengths, so you could store the word and length, then compare back against it, if the length is greater then that becomes the latest word.
