  • Would it be accurate to say that you can't resize video in Construct? Meaning that I'd have to resize it myself prior to putting it into Construct?

    I ask because I could do that in MMF2 Dev. No big deal if I can't though.

  • Try Construct 3

  • Hmmmmm... seems like there is a resize issue. The video seems to want to be fullscreen even when I resize the width and height in properties.

  • Okay, I've got it now. Now I just have to figure out how to get the position to look right inside my frame. For some reason it won't position normally.

  • I'm not sure I'm doing this right (I'm sure I'm not).

    I go to load file in events on the AVI object using "on load", I then grab the file in it's entire name (location and all) but it's saying that Construct doesn't recognize this file type.

  • I can live with that, but how do you actually insert an AVI file? I see no where to actually open one and insert it with the AVI object.

  • Video is pivotal to my prototype. I selected the .AVI object but I don't see where I can insert an actual AVI file.

    Also, is there any way to get rid of the graphic timeline under the video? It's really a scene killer.

  • Alright, I've got the scrolling working perfectly now. I appreciate the help deadeye, et al. I'm sure I'll have more questions soon

    This software is bringing a smile to my face. It's interesting to see that a number of issues I had in MMF2 seem to be able to be solved much quicker and more efficiently in Construct.

    I'd already built 95% of my game in MMF2 Dev, but you know what I'm going to completely scrap that and port my work over to Construct.

  • Yep, you were right deadeye. I had the window property value set too large. It scrolls now.

    But the one thing I'm still having trouble with is getting the scrolling to start the moment the player moves. It lags a bit and I suppose it's waiting for the character to reach a predetermined spot before the scrolling begins.

    Is there a way to get the scrolling to start immediately as the character moves?

  • ^^^ Right. Thanks. Let me check that to make sure, I probably didn't set that correctly.

  • did you put center view on me on?

    Yep. I followed along with the Swedish gentleman's video.

    is the layout bigger than your screen size?

    Do you mean bigger than my monitor size? No. I have the project set to 1920x1080, and my monitor is 1920x1080.

    also for your crowd did you make it so that it tiles?

    I just selected the Tile object like the tutorial says. Initially last night I put the background in as a sprite and it looked fine, but I took that out because I figured maybe the background is not supposed to be used with the Sprite object? Either way, it didn't scroll as a sprite until I applied the car movement to it, but I got rid of that too because of course that's not the proper way to scroll... but if I can't get it to scroll any other way I may go back to it.

    I'm really confused as to why it's not working.

  • I did the Ghost tutorial exactly... it didn't work. The character moves to the right but the background never scrolls.

    Also, it says to use the Tile object for the background. This makes my background look bad. I'm making a Football game and the background is a complete picture of a crowd of fans. My background has to be one solid picture so the tile effect makes it look awful.

    I ran into these same problems with MMF2.

  • Hi,

    I was using MMF2 Dev for awhile and after just a short time (less than a few hours) with Construct, I believe I'm hooked. I can't believe this thing is free!

    Anyway, I struggled mightly with proper scrolling in MMF2 Dev, but I was able to make this happen easily in Construct using the "Car" movement for the background. BUT, I wanna know how to do scrolling in the way it was intended.

    I'm trying to make one background picture scroll as one character runs across the background:

    Character runs right =========>

    Background moves left <=======

    What Event settings do you use to make this happen?
