  • Tried this yet?

    Upon UP ARROW pressed: CustomMovement's Change Speed Toward Position

    Or theres a Change Speed Toward Direction..alot of change speeds actually. I haven't played with the Custom Movement behavior at all so not sure if that will work as I imagine but it should.

  • For anyone that makes music and needs effects/amps ..

    TONS of free stuff, mostly preamps but they're heading into different areas now. What brought them to my attention was their line of preamps made for Metal.

  • Try Construct 3

  • I second that effects idea, people that are used to photoshop and its kin might know them but I sure don't. Especially if people know of combinations with cool looks.

  • Its been a while since I tried to work on the program I needed this for but thought I'd ask before going back to it, anyone know of a way to tell if its a folder instead of a file? I wanted the program to be able to list files, go inside of folders and list those as well.

    This just came to me as I was typing...

    I could use the If Folder Exists -> Change Directory and iterate through all the files listed to check them.

    But does anyone know of a quicker way...say if a folder actually has an extension?

  • I made these a while back so they're not exactly what you're looking for but give them a peek.

    This first Cap gets dialogue from an INI file and places it into Hash tables at the start of layout so they can be based on levels.

    The second Cap scrolls text but I never added the ability to determine if you're stopping mid-word and cut off beforehand. (You have to type text into the box to see it in action.)

  • Figured it out, I was spawning in the middle of an animation while the character had a hand raised. I wasn't setting the spawn point within that animation though, just his default stance thinking it carried over through the animations.

  • I can't believe I'm having this problem.

    I spawn a bullet from my character object but it wants to spawn from the center no matter what I put as the point name or number.

    Its spawning from a sprite (think Charlie in the platformer tutorials.)

    If I spawn from the player sprite instead, it will spawn at the point I name, but the angle changes make it spawn from the bottom when you're turned left.

    I usually just use the numbers but this time tried to name my points, does that work right? I don't need to put the name in quotes when I'm creating it (inside the picture editor) right?

  • Like I said, my purpose of using Construct is just that I'm familiar with it already. I know its the wrong tool for a job but... Something about hammers, toolboxes and nails.

    I asked some people if they knew of any scripts that would do the job I'm wanting and they didn't, but said it would be fairly easy to make with scripting. (I didn't bother to tell a bunch of programmers that I hadn't learned that skill yet.)

    There won't be any complexity of use in it like that mouse control, all I want it to do is send a /clear /kill and any other commands I think might be useful to hide your activities when the window is minimized.

    Thanks for the help Ashley. I'm gonna try it anyway if just to figure out a way.

  • I don't know, thats my question, how do I do it in construct? If theres not a built in way, can anyone think of one?

    One way I've thought of, if I can't find a better one is to simply output a text file and writing some script for the irc client to read the text file perioidically. I no nothing about mirc scripting and would defeat my purpose of doing it in construct. (Ease of creation.)

    edit - I should mention that I do intend to put in the work, just need sleep and getting a jump on the problem.

  • Hello, I want to make a little app that will send commands to another program (mirc.) But I don't know if Construct has this ability. I'm using Construct because I know it, well, mostly..I haven't been around in a while and just now downloaded 99.62. Before that I'd used .4 and .5 for just a little bit.

  • Try using the Follow Mouse behavior on a sprite and centering the screen on that sprite or however you intend to do your scrolling base it off that sprite (you can make it invisible or part of the GUI.) Though you'll need to work out a system of adjusting the speed, you know how with the WII remote it wasn't a 1:1 ratio. That may just have been what I was trying to do with the Mouse behavior when I tried it out though.

    I keep saying sprite, but a tiled background should work just as well for most stuff.

  • Does it do that after hitting the enter button again, or just randomly?

  • No, I meant the other way 'round...looking through the layout object to the main layout. It would help if I actually tried my idea, but theres a lot of them rambling around.

    If anyone is interested, in seeing it later or doing something similar what I was thinking was a tool to help with scripting an RPG...where you can run your cap, walk around in the world and when you talk to an NPC that doesn't have dialog attatched to it yet, this other layout would pop up to give you all kinds of options for inputting your dialog right there. Then when you're done with the project, you either uninclude the event sheets for it or just delete the whole layout and the game runs as normal.

  • No, that would be masochism

  • No one was responding, so I figured everyone was having the same issue cow trix was with it not working and was taking it down till I could figure out what was wrong.

    Glad to find out not everyone is having the problem, thanks
