  • I'm constructing a game where the player pilots a ship that can use various equipment. So far, I've created an array to store ship data, which looks something like this:

    Name Image Space Weapons Speed
Name Image Space Weapons Speed
etc...[/code:2q19lrf2]

As far as I can tell, that part goes smoothly. But I am having trouble populating a List object with my data. I know how to do it in pseudo-code, but not sure how I would translate it into events.

Basically, I set up my arrays. (In the future, I will just load them.) Then I set up my list with four columns (image is excluded, that's just what sprite the ship uses)
|Name|Space|Weapons|Speed|

My trouble is looping an event to give the List all my array info. I'd imagine it would look something like this:
[code:2q19lrf2]
yLoop (arraysizey times)
{
   xLoop (arraysizex times)
   {
      populate column by column
      ++array_x
   }
 ++array_y
}
[/code:2q19lrf2]

Can anyone shed some more light on how to accomplish this using events, and a bit more info on the List object? I want my events to be as flexible as possible for when I start adding more data to my arrays. Right now it doesn't input any data at all, and I could upload my broken .cap if anyone wishes to see.

Edit:
I took out loops and just used variable comparisons, and now it's 50% working. It gets everything into the List, except it's in one column. I now need to put each item into a different column. Any help is appreciated.

  • Pretty fun game! I like the music and the idea behind it, reminds me of some good ol' RPG puzzle games.

    Two things though, 'r' doesn't seem to work on the last level, and babelfish couldn't translate "Obrigado" from the ending, although I assume it means thank you.

    I'd like the see a 'second' version with more levels, more polish, and maybe the option to play without effects.

  • Are there any speed improvements? The old one was hosted by a user if I'm not mistaken, and I'm just wondering if a larger host would have better bandwidth than the last guy.

    Other than that, I hope to learn more about Construct in the future to help with documentation. Right now my only suggestion is a template or tutorial page that shows good tutorials. I know someone already said they would rather keep tutorials on the forums and documentation on the wiki, but some basic tutorials would fit nicely in the wiki environment.

    Just my two cents.

  • Hmm, I understand then. Well eventually I'll get there, but I don't need a signature that bad

    The black stuff on the lower right is because my right monitor is only 1024x768.

  • Hey M :3

  • I'm Neozuki.

    Drew Carey showed me Construct awhile ago, and I've been using it since. I've browsed the forums for a bit and registered an account (apparently) but never posted. So here it is, my introduction...

    Also I I got the same error as deadeye (in the "your art" thread) and I cannot use this as my signature. Didn't see if an admin fixed it manually or there's some other fix, so I'd be glad to know how to fix it.

    Also,
