    Wouldn't bother with Fusion 2.5 now; Fusion 3 is being revealed this fall. As for the actual release, however...could still be a little while.

  • Is this not what rendering & collision cells are for?

  • That's pretty cool but I recommend using a sprite object instead of tiles so you don't have 2 families to check collisions with (solid tilemaps & solid sprites).

  • Yeah that XPS 13 is basically a super sized phone. You can do way better than that for around $1,000. Maybe an MSI Ghost, Asus G751, or HP Omen 15. All have dedicated GPU's and at least a 15" screen so you're not squinting at your event editor all the time.

  • AapO There is a license on each product page in the scirra store. It varies depending on the product category.

    For this game kit and other templates you are allowed to use the assets in 1 commercial project per license purchased. However, there are numerous restrictions.

  • Looks like Stagelight is only for Android/iOS so...FL Studio.

    I started with LMMS. It's not bad, but FL Studio is better.

  • Discmach Hmm..hadn't planned on adding a melee ability. I'd like to keep this kit as simple as possible, and a mechanic like this could be confusing since it'd toggle entire components of the player engine. Same reason I removed the morphball before launch.

    For a rudimentary melee attack all you really need to do is add a Player_Melee function call in the Player Input group, then have that function disable Player Mechanics & Player Animations, then play the melee attack animation and spawn the blade object. When the animation is finished or the player has been hurt or whatever, you can re-enable said groups.

    If you only want the melee attack to disable certain mechanics like shooting, but leave others active like moving left/right, then you can create more groups and do something like above. Alternatively you can use a parent event that checks if a melee attacking boolean is false, and put mechanics that should be disabled when attacking underneath it.

  • But what did you mean by lowering the Acceleration/Deceleration exactly?

    Well in the original game his acceleration and deceleration are a bit lower - it takes him a tiny bit to start running at full speed, and he "slides" a bit after stopping. In your engine he starts walking at max speed and stops instantly. But again, it's all about how close to the original you're trying to get.

  • Geez. I'd just use sub-events and a boolean ^^;

    +Kirby inhaling is false
[ul]
	[li]Insert basic animations in sub-events[/li]
[/ul]
+Kirby inhaling is true
-play inhaling animation
  +button is released
  -set inhaling to false[/code:q5d2kl3q]
etc. etc.

This way the basic animations / mechanics are only in effect if a set of bools are false. If one is true an exception is made and new animations & mechanics take over.
But whatever, there's probably a dozen different ways to handle this stuff!

Anyway, looks like a solid Kirby engine so far. Only things I'd suggest are lowering Kirby's acc/dec, and dividing his Y vector instead of setting it to 0 when releasing jump (will make it more floaty). Depends on how close you want to be to the original games though. He's actually much easier to control here haha.

  • Thanks guys! R0j0hound's looked the simplest so I ended up going with that. To be exact I used int(((angle(self.X,self.Y,player.X,player.Y)+360)%360)/45)*45 to get the 0-360 range as an integer in 45 degree increments. Yeesh.

  • I can use angle(x1,y1,x2,y2) to get an object to point towards another. This works fine; the object rotates between 0 and 359 as expected.

    However, if I'm using this expression to set a variable instead of an object's angle, it returns negative angles. For example, 180 becomes -180 / 225 becomes -135, and so on.

    What's the deal with that?

    To clarify on what I'm doing...I'm using a sprite object with 8 animations that represent 8 different angles it can face. They are named a0, a45, a90, a135, and so on. I'm using the angle() expression to get the angle between this object and my player, but storing it in an instance variable. I then use this instance variable to tell the object which animation to play (which angle it should be facing). Why? Because the perspective of this object doesn't allow me to simply rotate it - I have to use a different sprite for each 45 degree increment.

    I could solve this by putting these negative angles in the animation names, but C2 won't allow the "-" character, so that's not an option.

  • r5 is up. Just some small bug fixes / maintenance.

    I haven't made a game in Construct yet, but I have a question. Could this be exported to run on mobile devices?

    Technically, yes, but this was designed to run on desktops or browsers.

    Would you consider doing an ''up and down trigger''? I've only seen a ''left and right trigger''. I would be willing to pay for this. I'm creating a big map and it would be a really interesting feature. Keep on the good work and have a nice day.

    This is easily the largest block of events in the whole game kit so I'd like to just stick with horizontal transitions/alignments to keep things tidy.

    The events are already there, really. You just need to copy/paste the existing transitions and change Right/Left to Up/Down and swap the y and x coordinates.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • lol what. Construct 2 shouldn't even be in this "tournament" as it's not an educational videogame. Completely incomparable to anything else there.

  • Been following this on TIGsource/Twitter for a while. Good stuff!

  • Are you using an object placed at the edge of every single platform for this? That's wholly unnecessary and very limiting..
