  • Hi. I am displaying an isometric tilemap... with the (0,0) tile (on the grid) mapped top centre. This means that the required Z-order for any particular tile representing a grid location is given by Z=x+y... So each 'diagonal on the grid, horizontal on the screen' row will have tiles with the same Zorder value - they cannot overlap so that is fine and normal for iso.

    If I replace a tile somewhere then I could just set the Zorder for the newly created tile as I know what value I want to give it.... but Construct2 does not seem to let me do that ?

    Is there any way to avoid having to loop over the entire grid everytime I replace a single tile - the visible grid is 20x20, so this a non-trivial nested pair.

    I was expecting to find a settable property: Family.Zorder = <value> and be able to just set it myself! Please advise how I can do this.

    Cheers

  • Hi,

    I made my LudumDare entry (48h game) this time using Construct2... which worked really well. All the usual time constraint problems.

    You can play and download source .capx via LudumDare website.

    If you have entered LD yourself please review my game and I'll review yours. If you have any questions about the source or game you can contact me as mrexcessive AT gmail.com

    Cheers

  • My mistake was to not change the "Project Rate" in Audacity to be 44.1k

    So... if you get this problem and are using Audacity for your audio production, make sure to set the Project rate. Exports will then be able to be converted by Construct2, in my experience.

    Hope this helps.

  • Righto - thank you Ashley, your rapid reply appreciated.

  • Hi,

    Reading about MultiPlayer the Construct2 way, unfortunately the signalling server seems to be a block to progress.

    If I am creating something commercial then I need to have control and ownership over any critical infrastructure. There may also be some potential clients who require the entire system infrastructure to be on secured servers - not accessible via the Internet or using any Internet hosted resources for normal operation.

    Please advise when the signalling server source code will be made available.

    Thank you.

  • Hi. Would also appreciate timeline for this.... I have a project working on W7, W8, Android, but fails on iOS (iPhone5) as the media plugin seems to crash whole App when I request permission to access the camera.

    Will this be supported soon, or never, or there is a good workaround?

    Forums seem inconclusive - my apologies if I've missed something

  • Hi,

    I'm new to CS2, but having fun working through the FAQ examples.

    I've updated Kyatrix's context sensitive menu so that it works on CS2.

    Any bugs are my own, please let me know if it is useful (or where broken!)
