  • I usually Google things I need information on and it wasn't yielding much for certain things so I was creating topics. I think I'll search in tutorials in the future. I had a small issue with this Pathfinding, but it's fixed now. Thank you, I appreciate both of your responses.

  • I know I'm probably making some fatal flaw here, but I can't get my enemy sprite to follow my player around. When I first set up all of the specifications it was actually working, now I'm not sure what I've done, but what happens now is the enemy sprite has LOS on me and will only move to my original spawn location on the layout, not me or where I move to, and stop moving all together.

    This is what the event sheet looks like:

    System - On Start of Layout

    EnemySprite has LineofSight to Player / Find path to (Player.X, Player.Y) (tried adding Clear PathFinding Obstacles, see if it made any difference)

    EnemySprite - On PathFinding path found - Move along path

    The sprite's LoS properties are: 360 cone of view / range: 400

  • Well, I don't know if it was technically a "Loop", but the idea behind it was so that for every enemy killed it repeats the +5 addition to the progress bar. I gave up on trying to use the Progress Bar as an EXP bar. But every other way is a lot more complicated it seems. I have since tried different methods however. Thanks for reply.

  • ...make an action only occur when the player character is within a certain range of an object.

    Mouse - On left button clicked on object - System - Go to Layout 2.

    You can click on this object from anywhere on the map. I'd like to make it so that it's only clickable when the player is right next to the object. I've Googled this and tried a few different things, but nothing has seemed to work.

  • Sprite as Mouse Cursor (Solved). Under no circumstance, it seems, will it use the image as the mouse cursor. I figure this is probably something I'm doing or not doing.

    EDIT: This does work in Chrome, however. Did not work in FireFox.

    However, a new problem has emerged. I tried using the System - Loop function to repeat by adding 5 points to a progress bar each time something was killed. Having this in the event sheet causes the game and browser to crash, it seems.

    Also...

    Monster - On Destroyed - Add 5 to EXP (Progress Bar)

    Nothing happens. What is wrong with this line of coding, why does it not work?

  • [quote:3q2q5ihd]so the entire 3 years and more, you had the computer for ... Was Windows 8.1 installed on it? also, is your Windows 8.1 with a official Microsoft license? Is Construct2 the free version or the Licensed Version? things might occur differently when stuff are not the official latest release. Also are you using the standalone Construct2 or the Steam version? What Construct2 Version are you using?

    Yeah, 8.1 hasn't caused a problem, and I've had it for a long time. And.. yes, of course, about the Microsoft license.

    Standalone free version Construct 2, I downloaded it from the main site. I always use Mozilla Firefox, but I never got around to setting it as my default browser for some reason, so whenever I'd use the Debug Layout feature in Construct, it'd open in Internet Explorer. I changed my default browser now to Firefox, and I haven't seen this problem happen since (computer hasn't locked up....*keeping fingers crossed*).

  • I've updated some drivers, and run virus scans; there are no infections that my anti-virus software can see. I've opened some gaming platforms, and some image editing software. I plan to use multiple applications at one time, several that do different things, and require different system resources to run (It's similar to what I've done on this PC for a long time, without problems).

    If I don't have these Windows system freezing and Internet Explorer (Construct Debug) locking up problems, I don't know what else it could be but the Construct software: it just happened again 10 minutes ago, there's virtually no way to break out of the lock-up (that I know of).

    [quote:209z1p7l]i should'v first ask you if the problem started from u installing the windows 8.1 on ur machine, that wold make it much easier to understand my response.

    The PC's run fine for more than 3 years and I've never had this problem till now.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • [quote:16a5de99]try disable ur auto update windows feature... u will see ur windows 8.1 its going to work fine for you.

    Why do you think this will work?

  • I would have posted in this under Bugs, but according to a Sticky there, most bugs are user-created.

    My PC is running Windows 8.1, and it's a fairly decent machine (I've used it primarily to run videogames). I can't work in Construct 2 for more than 30 minutes before it locks my entire PC up.

    What will happen first is I'll notice things are no longer clickable, this includes anything on my PC and system tray: Windows key, Alt+Tab, IE, Mozilla, Chrome, WiFi list, Volume button; Ctrl+Alt+Del won't work, so I'm not even able to force-shut Construct 2 from within Task Manager. Instead, I have to force power down my PC and reboot it every time this happens.

    I don't get it. I. just. don't. get. it. FYI, this is never happened before with any other kind of software I've used. At the very worst, when something like this happens, I just force shut the software I'm using and begin again... this time the entire PC becomes unresponsive, indefinitely.
