  • Tnx again!

  • Just to point out, event 16 is making sure the letter snaps back to its origin when removed from space. This is not covered by event 9's else statement as far as I can tell or something is preventing it.

  • Awesome! It's working now. That was a good tip also regarding overlapping boxes. When I tried to drag over two boxes a box was set to true when it did not have a letter in it. I wonder can I clean this up a bit though. I have three separate events now to cover all eventualities. I don't see how I can simplify though....

  • I have attached an Image to make it easier to explain. There are 8 spaces and 21 letters/symbols.

    I need to the game to have the following functionality:

    drag letter on/off a space and the letter snaps to center of the space

    letter cant go on a space that already has a letter. If you try drag a letter it will just go back to original position.

    letters on one space can move to an empty space but if there is a letter there it returns back to the space it was.

    Basically you should be able to drag and drop letters anywhere as long as there is not already a letter there.

    Below is working logic for dragging and snapping while also making sure the letter cant go on a space that already has a letter:

    The area I am having trouble with is when you drag a letter off a space and have the space's boolean value set back to false so that another letter can be placed there.

    Any help would be much appreciated

  • I restarted software and started tutorial from scratch and now I have the option. Phew!

  • I just saw an online video. I am missing the "Platform" section in "add action" window. As I mentioned I added 8 directional behaviour to the plane. I also tried adding Platform behaviour to see if that section displayed but it did not. Why is it not there?

  • I am following plane tutorial provided to me when I purchased construct 2. I am at the part where it says to simulate plane movement by pressing a left arrow on the screen. I cant find the simulate action anywhere. I added the 8-directional behaviour to the plane and everything else is correct. I have also followed the steps exactly. I have selected the plane object in the action but nowehere can i see the option to "Simulate 8 direction by pressing left" and so on. any help would be great.
