  • Thank you!

  • yes pls

  • I am not sure this is the issue because in mine, the toppings texts are also included in the toppings layer. And White and Red sauces are included in the SauceChoice layer.

    If you please could give me that capx and I will analyze myself where did I go wrong.

  • I tried to upload the project to make it visible online but Dropbox asks for Pro account. So I will just show you the capx file , if you want to watch, but I would say I made 90% of what you showed me yesterday. Just a small difference, Toppings elements are not hidden at Layout start. So pls, give me your capx, the last one, so I compare and understand what part I missed.

    here is mine

  • You are right, things are really easy for my project and even if I wrote up there , that I have read the full manual, this doesn't give me full knowledge, and the only thing I last asked was how to hide/unhide menus. And Phoenix answered it That's all for now, don't think I am doing what you said I am doing.

  • I found a way to open it )) Sorry ))

    yes! But could we assign this Close button as a function to the Toppings text? We press Topings, and menu opens down, we press Sauce type, and Toppings elements close back, and Sauce options open. But my first question was - Can we make like this? We press Olives, and it is placed on the pizza, but after this, we decide to cancel it, we dont want it. We want it to go out of the pizza, so we press again on the olives text again and it goes back to it's initial position.

  • I opened it

  • Look over and study this to see if you understand what is going on. I gave you a start try to go from that.Edit::

    Fixed File

    The Controller object type seems something new for me. I see it is a Sprite, but could not figure it out how it was created? It is totally different than how I started , even if it has the same elements. I will try to look deeper and understand what it consists of.. But at the same time, I cannot make any change and cannot edit anything as my version is free, and it does not allow me.

    I am very thankful to you!

    So, anyway, what event should I create to make a topping go back out of window after I touch it again? This is for cases when we want to cancel one.

  • Yes don't have to be anything visual grand right now. A rough draft of visuals is fine.

    Thanks for replying and for your spent time!

    Now I have two questions:

    1. How do I make that when you press on menu Toppings, all the elements appear under it? And also there will be the menu Crust type and Sauce type. So each time I choose one of these 3 itmes, the others close back, and open their own elements.

    2. How do I make when you press again on Pizza sauce or Olives, for example, after you touched one time already, to make the sprite go back to it's position out of the window? If the player wants to cancel and choose something else, like a Tick/Untick thing.

  • It's all about breaking everything down to bite size pieces so you don't panic or feel overwelmed.

    I will give you your first task. Once you achieve that I will suggest your next.

    Task number one get selection working. Don't work on nothing else but that. Post your capx to be reviewed.

    by selection you mean create a menu and assign to each element a function?

  • Thank you with this answers! I started this guide few days ago but paused for looking to other materials as I was thinking none of these functions I will need. But I will continue then..

    If someone has also other ideas and suggestions, please leave them here.

    Thanks!

  • yes, that is obvious, but what I want to create is a couple of times simplier and different from the games created mostly by C2. I just need menu commands place objects , a menu itself and things around these ...

    that is why I am asking what parts of the programm should I learn and which tutorials are nearest to what I am planning? as I dont need to know the whole functionality of this, at least now... later I will use my time for it for sure...

  • sounds rather complicated for me, you know? ))) I am a total beginner... I only know about object types at the moment, behaviors and what events do. but not yet figured out what z index is about and variables and many others. what parts of the manual should I read to gather knowledge for this kind of game?

    The very first time I asked this question someone responded like this:

    You will need:

    1) Use layers and z-index

    2) Use array for storage and calculation

    But I still have no idea what to start with? Afterwards it would be simple for me to progress, but what to start with? As a total noob in this soft?

  • So I am trying to make a game where you can build your own custom pizza from any elements you desire, from the list ( type of Crust, Sauce, Toppings ) I want the menu with these three compartments on the Right of the screen and when you press on Toppings, for example, a list of all them appears where you can select any, one by one. When you select any type of object, it overlays on the Crust, on on another. And you build you pizza like that.

    What object types do i need to use for them to overlay one on another? And how do I create a menu on the right of the screen which will add these objects? Please, advice how I start it. I know it is different from usual games you create with this program, but I am sure it is much simpler. I have read the full manual, but I have no idea how to start...

  • C2 outputs any kind of text upon the finishing of the project? Or I should collect it myself manually?
