  • This happens to me quite frequently. I'm not sure what causes this issue but here are some things that seemed to help fix it for me:

    - Disable antiviruses or adblockers for Construct and make sure Construct has all necessary permissions

    - Check if your computer has a low amount of storage space

    - Clear your cache and cookies

    - Try opening the project on a different device

    - Try saving the project as a local save if you're using cloud saves

    I hope these can help.

  • How do you add 3D enemies, 2D Enemies, 2D Sprites, and Bosses (2D and 3D)

    Sorry for the almost year late response. 3D enemies are nearly impossible to add without lots of issues, but you can use a 3D cube with all faces invisible except one which can be set to use a sprite. I believe this is also the only way to have a 3D object with animations. The same applies to bosses.

  • There is other free engine similar to Construct? Event-Action coding??

    I don't know much about other engines, but I think there are a few that are to some extent similar to Construct.

  • It's much easier to help if you can share the full text of any error messages. Also, do you have any browser extensions installed? If so try disabling them, as they can often interfere with Construct and cause problems.

    ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT usually means something on your computer decided to block Construct loading something. So it's quite possibly a browser extension that's blocked a resource Construct needs to work correctly, which then subsequently causes an error.

    I had Kaspersky installed. After removing it Construct seems to work mostly fine although I occasionally get errors.

  • The exact same issue happened again and it's affecting all my projects with plugins installed. I'm getting the same errors as before. I've tried doing everything I can to fix it, but nothing is working.

  • Thanks for responding.

    The issue was fixed by clearing my cache and cookies, then closing Construct which uninstalled addons. I then reinstalled the addons I was using (screen space 3D lights and tint blend) which allowed me to open the project.

    Edit, the issue happened again.

  • I have two computers; one a Chromebook and the other a Windows 10 PC. I've repeatedly had issues with being unable to open Construct 3 projects only on my Windows. I'm able to open all of my projects with no issues on my Chromebook.

    I save my projects to Google Drive.

    It either gives me the message 'Failed to open project.' or 'Failed to open project. Check it is a valid Construct 3 single-file (.c3p) project.'.

    This issue has previously been caused by effect plugins, but I've made sure that I have all of the plugins that are used in the project installed in Construct on my Windows and that all of them seem to be working as intended.

    I've tried using f12 and got the errors 'Failed to load resource:net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT' and 'Failed to load resource:net::ERR_FAILED'.

    It also might be worth noting that the last time the project was edited shown in recent projects is incorrect and earlier than it should be.

    I would really appreciate any help I can get.

  • Use speech bubbles and put them in the boss's mouth.

    Thanks for the response. I'm already using something similar to speech bubbles and the bosses don't have mouths.

  • I would only put it between boss phases where there can be an obvious break or yes as you said use voice.

    It does have a second phase, but without a pause in between. I'll try slowing time for a second, thanks for the idea.

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • I've made a boss fight in my game where the boss speaks to the player in text visible in the top of the screen, however, it can either be distracting or ignored entirely. The fight is very fast paced, so although the text stays on the screen for a while, it is quite difficult to read without getting hit.

    This text is quite important to the encounter, and I wouldn't want to remove it.

    I've considered voice acting, but I only want to use it as a last resort since I would likely need to pay a good amount of money for decent voice acting.

    It would also be possible to pause the entire fight, but that doesn't seem like a great option.

    Do you have any ideas?

  • Thank you! I'll be sure to include these in my game.

  • I'm thinking of making a retro top-down space shooter similar to the image below with possible roguelike elements. What game mechanics, enemy behavior or anything else do you enjoy in these two genres? What makes them fun?

  • Not sure if this will work but maybe you can pin them if they collide or overlap with the placeholder.

    You might be able to uniquely identify them using one of the pick instances conditions.

  • Thank you, this helps a lot. The example doesn't use an object although I think I can edit it a little to make it work the way I want.

  • It could be better to make one object with different animations instead of 10 objects. You can use the Is playing condition if you want each of them to have different events and actions. If you do this you can set the animation to str(round(random(1,10))).

    For Each Placeholder -> Spawn another object (fruit)

    Also, do you want to use pin to just set position or is there another reason?
