    constructor

    immediate negative vote steam for construct 2

    Steam version of junk

    Multiaccount? ^^

    You know that by raging around you won't reach your target (refund) any better but instead annoy the people that have to deal with you, making success less likely :D.

  • Browse to your steam folder, steamapps/common/construct2

    start construct2.exe there. Steam will register it as free version, but when it runs, it will be the registered version. Additionally to that you can run the Construct 2 personal from steam. This way you can at least run two instances.

    If that doesn't work, then it has something to do with symbolic links I guess, since I've made one for construct. Use the mklink command or try the steam mover for that task.

  • Arguing over price if futile anyway. It is their choice and they have to make a living with it, so they need to sell it at that price. If they can, guess the price is fine. One might think the pricing is too high, and yes, they might be right, but it is no use to argue with their business decision. It is the difference between people wanting 1 dollar for their apps or 10 dollars. I know that the 1 dollar one will probably outsell the 10 dollar one by a hundredfold, if the apps are of not too different quality. Not to mention that a community driven app will gain advantages from a larger community. So in the end: yeah, it is smarter to sell for an affordable price in many cases of virtual goods (thats why F2P-games work, you bring many new customers in by deleting the entry barrier and then profit off the big community later on in some way), but everyone with a product has to decide how he wants to sell his product.

  • Try to disable the steam community for Construct 2, maybe this is causing your instabilities.

    Whats wrong with updating through steam? If you want beta updates, switch to beta in steam.

    Sorry for the little hijacking...

    Pandemonium or LittleStain - noob question here... I'm doing a shooter. I've setup an event to shoot randomly every 2-3 seconds, but ALL the enemies shoot at the same time.

    How can I make this so the enemies shoot at different intervals?

    you can use timers for this or 2 instance variables on every shooting enemy (one containing the time when it last shot and the other the shooting delay) and each frame check for each enemy if lastshottime+shootingdelay less or equal time. If yes, set lastshottime to lastshottime+shootingdelay and run the function that creates the fitting shoots for your enemy. If you expect more than one firing to occur per frame for one enemy (maybe because of high firing rate and slow fps), you could check for the condition a second and third time in subevents.

  • mindfaQ he is talking about steam version to which you can only have 1 instance open at a time.

    you can...

  • If you are not afraid of using plugins, check out this one: scirra.com/forum/plugin-slg-movement_topic59901.html

  • So you mean some sort of automatic storage in the image editor that lets you store different quality variants for each frame?

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • A question - can I open 2 Construct at the same time?

    I normally use it with tutorials to compare events.

    Yes you can.

  • Maths.

  • No problem mate.

  • "maybe anyone want to implement that to C2," Joannesalfa

  • Yeah I will test it when I have my new system up and running and post my findings.

  • Occulus Rift = 3D

    Construct 2 = 2D

    You would probably need to add a depth for each object and even then we only would experience paper slices everywhere. Could be a nice effect with Occulus, but nowhere near as cool as native 3D-games in OR imo.

  • I've looked through various topics about Linux and C2. Some were old and some were not really what I was looking for.

    So I plan to use Linux more often (Linux Mint 16 Mate to be exact).

    Is anyone running C2 on Linux (in a Debian/Ubuntu-based distribution if that matters) that can share his experiences on how he runs it and how it is working out so far?

    As additional hurdle I have the steam version, so I'm not sure if an emulating approach is feasible.

    VM is probably the best choice(?), but I will run into RAM problems.

    Thx for your attention.
