  • I think we would tune in to a stream if it was just a chug cam. (putting people in front of it and making them chug their beer.)

    Or maybe like a reality show, a confession cam, where people go off and talk about the other people who came in private. Heh heh.

  • Sorry, the 1 + int(NumberKilled/5) should have been 1 + int(Kill/5) if "Kill" was the name of your global variable.

    Here is a quick example playable game I made up, using the Health instance variable, and the Kill to count the sprites destroyed.

    It speeds up the falling apples (slightly) as well as adding to the health.

  • Blacksmith

    Vegas!

  • You need a global variable to keep track of how many you killed, and then when you spawn a new one add that variable divided by 5 to the health value.

    Health = 1 + int(NumberKilled/5)

    (the int will drop the fraction, so the partial number isn't greater than your less than or equal zero check.)

    Edit: This way it increases every 5 killed. If 25 are killed, the health will be 6.

  • Blacksmith LOL Probably not.

    I did drive 2500 miles to Alaska in April. I got paid to help convoy some Jeeps and Tour buses for a friends Tour business.

    Maybe I just need to find someone to pay me to drive to England? <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

    Looks like there are enough takers to fill half the Pub, sounds like it's going to happen.

  • Why did I even check...

    Distance from Evansville, Indiana to London, UK is:

    4146.1 Miles

    ( 6672.6 Kilometers / 3600.5 Nautical Miles )

    Approximate flight duration time from Evansville to London is:

  • Nutmix, the new beta is up with the first part of the debugger included.

    http://www.scirra.com/construct2/releases/r140

    That icon runs the current/last active layout, and you can run your project from the beginning by pressing Control-F5

  • Or highlight maybe?

    My hope is for Debugger events, for example, Call a Debug.pause so the project halts at that spot. Or a Debug.Watch to see if an event is firing. But I imagine he's already got that in the plan.

  • Is there any way to force it to lock to one card while using Construct2?

  • Miu3, He decided a lot of his headaches would go away if he removes all the platform stuff, and goes totally ghost shooter maker.

  • Interesting, I read once (many versions ago) that Construct had issues with laptops going to sleep, I wonder if the graphic card switch is similar.

    Edit: Possibly scratch that, I can't find that thread anywhere. I thought it was Ashley saying it, but I can only find messages where his machine worked, and to try updating display drivers.

  • tomek To be sure he gets a notice he has a message, Include Paco in your post. Otherwise he has to check to see if there is a reply. (unless he originated the thread.)

  • I think most of the regulars had already noted the absence.

    However it does make it clear Construct2 is an addiction. <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  • That's if they are the same instance.

    Edit:

    Noticed a glitch, if you go full screen you can see a button "Reset to defaults" which is in the font editing pane.

    I thought it was just a residual image and I clicked it, and it works, it reset me. oops.

    Correction, I see it in your screen shot under the save and exit buttons, apparently it's not scaling with the window.

  • You might also add to the demo that for multiple SpriteFont objects that use the same font, to put them in a family, and set the Character width for the whole family at once.
