  • The breakout Tutorial I was working on now crashes between layouts. I do have a MOD playing and I don't stop it before going back to the previous layout. And it seems to make the layout change, completely, then locks up.

    This one locks up when you go back to the main menu by pressing ESC... or alternatively cheating to win the game by pressing F12.

    Are these bugs in the new version of CC and not present in the old one?

  • Nevermind. I think I crashed it cause I was putting things in the Always condition that should never, ever, go there. Hehe.

  • When I put one object on one layout doing something "always" and then one object on a second layout doing something "always," I could switch back and forth without a problem.

    When I added a second object always doing something in the second layout, Construct crashed.

    I tried on 2 projects so far and both did it.

  • Hey everyone!

    I have trouble figuring out angles and for some reason they don't want to sink into my thick skull. I started out by drawing a circle on some paper and sketching out a radial of angles that I could reference. Half way around the circle I thought, "how come I couldn't just create this in Construct?"

    So I sat down and made a tiny DirectX Program in Construct that will follow your mouse around and tell you what "Angle" the arrow is pointing at. It's super useful!

    If something like this has already been posted then I apologize.

    Here's the CAP if you would like to tinker with it:

    I suppose you can have Construct compile it into an EXE if you want to, as well.

    I hope this can be helpful to someone! It sure helps me out! ^_^

  • Thank you so much lucid! I am trying to wrap my mind around why it would destroy the two blocks, but not score 2 blocks. Give me a little time and it will sink in to my brain. Hehe.

    I understand your fix, tho. And that's the first time I've ever used a Sub-Event. I'm going to have to look at the manual for that specifically and learn more about them.

    This worked perfectly and pretty much finished up the first board of the game. I really appreciate your help! I usually dish out hugs but I will get to know everyone better before that. Hehe.

    Let me know if you'd like an exe of what I have so far. ^_^

  • Hey everyone! This is my first post. I searched forum topics and did Google and Bing searches for the last 6 hours, or so, and can't seem to find any other reports of my problem. So I hope I'm not bothering anyone.

    I am starting out with a simple Breakout clone. I followed the tutorial, here:

    scirra.com/tutorials/46/introduction-to-families-for-construct-classic/page-1

    It's a great tutorial and got me up and going. My problem is that my ball sometimes breaks two bricks, which isn't a problem while playing the game... but for some reason, even though both bricks get destroyed, you only get score for one, and my variable that calculates the end of the round only gets +1 added to it. So by the end of the bricks, the game is waiting for more.

    I uploaded a cap to wlok.com/upload/breakout01.cap

    Other than the double destruction, it seems to run pretty well.

    Any help would be appreciated. And I'll keep trying other things. I read somewhere that I might not use the "Ball" object but I will need to read up on Custom Movement before I start that.
