  • Ok, I'm doing that now.

    I only need to make this game to be presented for one class. I don't need to or want to publish it or sell it or claim it was my own, I just want to make a game myself. I need to be shown how to and how much I need to do so that's why I asked for a working model. I looked over your version and mine side by side and they match up perfectly. I can't see where the problem is. It just doesn't work.

  • How do I send them to you as a .capx?

  • I did those fixes and fixed some other things I overlooked, but it still hasn't changed the end result.

    I'm 99.9% certain our projects match, except for some audio events I don't want to use and the sprites being different colours (they are obviously different pictures I used).

    How could I still be going wrong?

    I just saw your edit.

    I'm trying to make my own pong game just as how you did it, since it works.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • For event 12, how do I select which object? I can see on your's there is an option for which button on the mouse, if it's single clicked or double clicked and which object to click on, but mine doesn't have the which object selection?

    Also I just tested my version and all it does is display the dummy puck in the middle of a white background, then disappears for a second after about 3, then reappears. My background is supposed to be black, and nothing else happens. I can't click anywhere and my cursor disappears when it goes over the layout..

  • On the second event you have the "Get Ready text" set to visible.

    How did you get to select the Get Ready text?

    Under "Mouse: set cursor to none" is what I'm talking about.

    EDIT

    Nevermind AGAIN, it was invisible. I'll make sure the answer isn't obvious to me next time I get stuck...

  • How do I make a Global Variable then? At the top of the sheet like you did?

    EDIT

    Nevermind, I right clicked and added them. I'll need help later by the looks of things though.

  • I'm having trouble with the event sheet. I can't get the AI_Score instance variable done as it says it doesn't exist. How did you set up the AI_Score and Player_Score instance variables?

    It's event 10 if you can check. How did you do that? I'm stuck on the first event as I need event 10 up to have the first event something to operate on.

  • Thanks Saint Mike, I knew most of that already, it's pretty simple stuff I agree, but it's more complicated than that to me. It takes more than just setting up those settings and things for it to work.

    Wink that's really helpful. If I may, I'm going to look over it and pretty much copy it, replacing your sprites with mine. It's only for college, I'm not going to try to sell it (pffft) or put it up as my own work here. It's just to show on Monday to my class and then that's it.

  • I need to make one for my college course. I tried looking up a youtube tutorial that was an hour long that used Construct 2 and it showed me how to do it step by step, but at one point it stopped working for various reasons.

    I knew this because he went to test it at that point in the video and it worked for him but not me. I had followed his steps as best I could but it's not working and now I have no clue as to where the problem is.

    Could anyone tell me how to make a simple (very simple) pong game with contruct? It needs 2 paddles, a ball, and preferably a score-keeping system.

    Also bear in mind I don't really know my way around construct 2 quite yet.

    If you could link me to a video tutorial,

    (not this one)

    youtube.com/watch

    or give me precise instructions or even send me a working event sheet, I would be very grateful.
