  • English translation of amariscal's question:

    How can I make tactile buttons?

    I figured out a way to make buttons that move the player, but as the player moves, the buttons stay back without following the screen. How can I make the buttons remain locked in place or follow the viewport?

    Now my reply to him in Spanish (don't worry, I'll translate):

    Buenas, — Ese problema es com?n entre la gente nueva de Construct 2. Usualmente lo que se hace es que creas un 'layer' nuevo espec?ficamente para los controles de la interfaz (puedes cambiarle el nombre a 'UI' o 'Controles', como quieras). Al tener dicho layer seleccionado, en su columna de propiedades le cambias el parallax a 0. Esto hace que el layer no se mueva y tus botones siempre estar?n disponibles.

    Suerte!

    English translation:

    Good day, amariscal. This is a common problem among Construct 2 newbies. What you usually do is create a new layer specifically for the interface controllers (you can even rename it to 'UI' or 'Controllers', if you want). By having said layer selected, check its properties' column and change its parallax to 0. This makes the layer remain static and the buttons will always be available.

    Good luck!

  • Off the top of my head, these are some that I have found useful:

    tIDE

    Tile Studio

    Tiled

    Tiled has been my favorite one so far, specially because there's a TMX importer plugin for C2 around here.

    Have fun!

  • Thanks for these amazing plugins, Pode!

    This has opened the door to a lot of possibilities. The only thing I seem to find awkward is that the only way I can add full HTML code without C2 getting picky with values is if I paste all of it in a textbox, then I call insertHTML with an event. I was able to implement a calendar I made with HTML/CSS (using your ImportCSS and div plugins) and it all looks great. The only problem (or not really a problem) lies in the way to "inject" that first HTML code.

    Now, on to the questions for whoever has the knowledge: Is that the only way to add full, real HTML, or am I missing something? Also, would adding javascript within the HTML be functional in the plugin, or would the js code need to be elsewhere? I specifically ask this since I'd like to have each cell in my HTML calendar to open/go-to a new layout, though I'm guessing that would require a specific plugin, correct?

    Thank you, again, for your effort.
