    Sounds like C3 is more for the professional than the hobbiest, that's a shame as I'm a hobbiest. Gamemaker it is then.

  • Try Construct 3

    I would think there would be a discount for those who bought C2. I can't see it being a free upgrade. It would be sweet if it was though.

  • I have a single text box and various images in my layout.

    Depending on what image is clicked I'd like the text box to load a different external text file. I have everything set up but can't seem to find a way to load different text files into the sane text box (one at a time obviously )

    Can anyone point me in the right direction please? Any help would be appreciated.

  • I'm building a game/program launcher menu for myself and would like to be able to launch external programs when clicking on a thumbnail of that program. For example, I click on a thumbnail of Borderlands and the game is then launched.

    I know how to program the rest, I just need the ability to launch an external program by clicking a button / image.

    This is only for myself (on a laptop for my kids really) so security isn't an issue. Ive searched the 'How Do I' forum as well as the manual but can't seem to find anything about it. Any help would be appreciated!

    Thanks.

    Funny, I was thinking the same thing.

    Thanks DUTOIT that helped.

    It didn't say "Yes, overridden" when I was working on it yesterday but now it does and the menu is working.

    Much appreciated.

    I understand exactly where to post.

    Just because I can't get it to work doesn't automatically mean it's a bug, it's probably something I'm doing wrong as other people have it working and I'd just like to know how they did it.

    Is it a bug? Can no one else do it? I would appreciate an answer before I jump in an say it's a bug.

    I would recommend you make sure you understand what was written before you post a reply.

    I have a layout on which I have a layer called Menu and the Global is set to Yes in the Editor Properties.

    I have a second layout which also has a Menu layer and I want the menu from the first layout to appear in the second, but when I run the game the menu doesn't appear in the second layout.

    Anybody know what I'm stupidly missing?

  • I'm creating an App (menu) Launcher for my kids laptop.

    Basically, this launcher will load up immediately at startup and the kids can pick a game from a list (this stops them clicking lots of things from the desktop!)

    I'd like the Appo Launcher to run full screen without the browser showing. I've tried the Browser plugin - 'Request Fullscreen' but I mentions that you need to 'initiate it':

    [quote:18mfl75n]Request that the browser enter fullscreen mode. Note the browser may ignore this request unless the action is in a user-initiated event, such as a mouse click, key press, touch event or button press.

    How do I get it in full screen right at the start as soon as it is run?

  • instead of saying "1 second before the missile appears on the layout ", what you should be asking is "1 second after the thing that shows me where the missile is coming from...".

    Edit: just like codah said.

    Does anyone have this book? If you do what is it like? Does it really explain things well? Is it worth it?

  • Sorry, yes I thought it would show the first frame ready to be played.

  • I've noticed that if I set the Video Object's Autoplay to anything other than "Yes", the video doesn't show. I don't want to the video to automatically start unitl the user clicks on it.

    Also, is it possible to set the scale of the video? I know you can set the width & height.
