  • Thank you kindly I'll do that now.

  • jaypeps81 it didn't for some reason it keeps on falling. I can't make it stay above my character as he falls through the stage. It keeps falling faster than my character.

  • No, I just didn't know exactly if it was a P&CA like Monkey Island or a P&CA like...Another I can't remember the name of.

    In that case what you can do is move your player towards the mouse's X position, and once it reaches the end of the screen, have a sensor trigger the change of layout. Does that make sense?

  • Could you give us more information?

    How would he move left and right? Is this like a platformer/Point and Click adventure hybrid?

    I think a good idea would be to get input from mouse, and once clicked on an object (like a move left/right sprite) it would take you to another layout.

  • Hi again guys,

    I bought C2 Personal a few weeks ago. How do I link it to my forum profile so it shows I bought it? I've seen some people display that medal, I just have no idea how to get it to show on my profile.

  • Interested in this question too. Thanks for asking.

  • Hi everyone,

    I want my game to display the fuel units on top of my character. I created a text object, and in the event page I wrote it like this:

    Every tick > set "text" position to "Player"(imagepoint 3)

    Every tick > set "text" to (Global Variable, in this case fuel_units)

    If you go to the pictures you'll see that this display has no problems when stuck to the layer, but apparently when following an imagepoint, after my Player falls for a few pixels then the text falls too, and faster than my character (see picture).

    I don't know why this happens considering I used the same every tick > set "SPRITE" position to "PLAYER"(imagepoint 2) and it works, so how come the text falls?

    BTW, I tried using the PIN behaviour and it didn't help.

  • TheWyrm

    It didn't, and I don't know why.

  • Somebody

    This is ridiculous...I had to use the platformer template like you said - BUT IT'S THE SAME I HAVE ON MY OTHER PROJECT.

    It just makes no sense, but at least it's working. Thank god I will only have to rewrite the Menu layouts and that's it.

  • Somebody

    I tried it like this (picture) and it didn't work. I also tried creating a specific animation for "left" and it didn't work either.

    I'm running out of ideas.

  • Somebody

    It's not working =/ I tried this (picture) and it's not "turning" left.

    I had done this in a previous project and for some reason now it's not working.

  • I have been working on a freefall game - very basic, you just fall and try to avoid stuff.

    I used the SET TO MIRRORED when pressing left key command, but it's not mirroring once I test it.

    Any advice?

  • blackcrypt

    First of all, anyone who produced anything during the first "console wars" has my respect. You guys paved the road for us newer gamers.

    I am also starting to use Construct 2, and so far I've learned TONS from Youtube tutorials (I have a playlist) and help from the forums. I also quickly realized that the free version is very limiting if you want to work on something big right away, but maybe for mini games it's fine. I guess it's up to you.

    From my end, if I can help you with anything - right now I don't know much but I'm dedicating hours of my week to learn and apply - just send me a PM, I'll be more than glad to test your game or give you advice.

  • nickl

    Wow, I really appreciate that last comment, because I've been thinking about other softwares too.

    Thank you so much for your mini lessons and feedback. You've won a cyber-beer as a token of my appreciation (granted that you're of legal age and like beer, otherwise please accept an e-cookie).

    Please do let me know if I can do anything for you, like testing a game.

  • nickl I understand now so they work like gears in a car. I had not thought about implementing different speeds, so that's why I didn't understand.

    Once again, thank you very much for teaching me. I think after a few mour hours spent on C2 I may end up buying it - the 4 layer limit really rustled my jimmies.
