  • Linking sites like these will get you bad grades from google. When Google finds pages that link to an excessive amount of website and the other websites all have the same links on their page, it won't do you any good.

    I did some research on search engine optimization and learned a lot about the subject.

    As for the indie site itself, I think it's a good idea. But there are a lot of website who already do this. You can start a new site, but would have to offer something that the existing sites don't already have..

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Yeah the screenshots are great. Now I actually know what your examples are about xD

  • After reading that it worked for you, I tried it again and found my problem. I called a function to change the colour and tried to pick the right object before I sent the function (with 'remember picked object'). That didn't work.

    It did work when I picked the object after the function was sent. (So pick the object in the function itself).

    Thanks for helping me!

  • Hello, I have a question about picking the closest object.

    I have the following problem:

    <img src="http://imageshack.us/m/62/555/questionx.jpg">

    The small bar on the left is the user. The big blocks are the same object (copies).

    When the user overlaps an object (as seen in row 2) and presses the space key, the object changes colour.

    When the user overlaps both objects (as seen in row 3) and presses the space key, the closest object (to the user) should change colour. But as you can see in row 3, that doesn't happen in my case.

    I've tried to use the pick closest condition, but that didn't work. Does anyone have an idea on how to solve this?

    Edit: I've also tried the 'pick by comparison and then compared object.x and object.x (but I think that it compares the same object's value against the same object's value..)

    Thank you,

    Maarten

  • I'd love a tutorial on procedurally generated levels for a platformer game.

    A level that generates more content as you walk trough it.

  • I'm sorry to tell you this, but most of the time I have no clue what your examples are about. I think that, if you want more people to look at your examples, some screenshots would help a lot.

  • Watchmen mashup: http://www.dumpert.nl/mediabase/1487631 ... ilert.html

    The website is Dutch, but the video is in English.

  • I did an endless running part in the previous version of my game. I let the character stay in the middle of the screen and just moved the background from right to left.

    I cut the background in 5 objects and when the background object was in the layout, I spawned one of the 5 objects on the right side of the layout. That way the background never ended.

    As an addition I let the system randomly select one of the 5 objects, so the background wasn't the same all the time. And when the background was at a certain point on the left side of the layout, I deleted it. (To save memory)

  • Is this an editor bug or does the published game also have this bug?

  • Looks good, the shadow to the left is a bit strange though

  • Wow great news! Awesome to see that Construct Classic is still being developed!

  • I'm glad you were helped I just missunderstood your question first^^

    Thanks for helping me anyways

  • Oh now I get it. I forgot all about those blocks! Thank JayJay and Davioware!

  • Just tell us what you exactly want to do. Because, if you want to do an action, the computer has to know, when he have to do that action. On the start of the layout? If you pressed a key..or just allways(every tick).

    I'm trying to make a list of actions that I can execute at any given point in an event. This would clear the event sheet from a lot of clutter and make 'programming' in Construct a lot easier for me.

    Try out the Function object =] Just have an action "Call Function" in the event that should trigger the dormant one then type in the function name. It will then call another event which is called "On Function [your function name] Called" I think

    If need be, I'll try to make a cap to show you later this week (or weekend)

    I know what you're trying to say, but I can't find the actions for Call Function and On Function. A screenshot on where I could find this would be practical.

    Thanks!

  • Is it possible to create an event and start it with an action?

    I know how to do this with a workaround, but I'm interested if it is possible with a built-in function or something like that.

    Thanks in advance!
