  • Testing out the app on the device touch is not responding well on Windows 10 phone. There seem to be no issues with framerate and CPU really (I'm getting a constant 60FPS on a midrange phone), but touch is very very unresponsive, not registering touch input well.

    Tried both cordova and html5 export in XDK, none of them seems to be working properly (but occasionally it worked). I also tried building with visual studio, and get the same issue, so I can pretty much rule out it's a XDK or Visual Studio problem.

    This issue is not apparent trying the same builds in app preview on a windows 10 PC, or any other device, only on windows 10 phone (what I've noticed so far)

    It occasionally happens when I try the game in a edge browser (windows 10 phone) as well, but after 10 seconds the touch becomes responsive.

    Anyone else experienced this? on any other devices/platform?

    Is the Construct 2 touch bugged on windows phone? I tried other games made in C2 (mortar melon, last of the survivors) on the windows phone and they seem to have similar problem on my device.

  • PixelPower it's done for mobile/tablets so you have to try on a device with touch.

  • Fervir It's basically a cloud server that handles all the multiplayer stuff. There's no host or peer like the regular multiplayer. You connect and send data like movement, rotation, position, whatever through the cloud server to all other users in the same room. The user can create their own private rooms on demand, or join random rooms. I think each room can handle up to 16 players at the same time. That's basics of it.

  • I can suggest you try out the Photon Cloud plugin. Very easy to set up and get working. I'm using it for my game and it's great.

  • If you're not much for drawing, try using 3d software. It's a very different way of working but very fun and flexible as well. You can render all your 3d assets as speites and use in the game. Here's a screenshot of what I'm working on to give u an idea.

    I can suggest blender if you want to try a free 3D software.

  • Try Construct 3

Most of the time i work with C2 lying down in the sofa, on the bed, sitting on my balcony, or when I'm out and about, LOL. I know, not very traditional, but i don't like sitting at a desk. Everything works perfectly and have a great workflow, only annoying thing is that I need a 3rd party software just to be able to right-click in C2.

    It is actually a common issue across the board (other stylus') with multiple programs. I wish C2 fixed it, but yeah I get you.

    I still don't know how you use C2 with no keyboard. I used a Surface Pro with C2, exact same usage, laying down on my belly lol

    C2 is super easy with no keyboard, as you get suggestions of objects expressions and anything as you type. If you noticed when you are entering something in a field in the Event Sheet, there's a small transparent window close by, where you can pick objects with expressions, so you don't really have to type anything. And if you do, the screen keyboard is good enough. Everything is just a few clicks away, so that's why I like working with a stylus in C2.

    I don't know if they had stylus in mind when they designed C2, but it's genious. Only flaw is the right click thingy.

    Cool! is this using the Q3D plugin or is it sprites?

  • Is it possible to blend between animations? For example? if i have a running cycle and a walking cycle? can you blend between these?

  • KENYONB This is the software I have to use to get right clicking to work with stylus. Adds an option for hover-right-cklick with the stylus button. It doesn't work for touch though, but enables it for stylus at least. I only use it for that purpose and only when working with Construct 2 but it does the trick.

    This software adds a small little area on screen that can be used as a trackpad with mouse left and right click. Very customizable if you want to add your own buttons or shortcuts as well, so you can use this to simulate right click in Construct 2 when using touch.

  • Would firebase be any good for storing all kind of player data, not only highscores? I was thinking everything from shots fired, deaths, kills, missions completed, etc etc? Even for tracking ingame Achievments?

  • Bumping this issue, as it would help my workflow when I'm on the go and remove the need to use a 3rd party software just for right clicking with a stylus in Construct 2.

  • Ashley Tried the new build. Works great! Thanks a lot for that! If you have time maybe you could take a look at this issue as well. It's related to working with Construct 2 on touch/stylus capable devices. https://www.scirra.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=151&t=169057&p=1017345&hilit=touch#p1017345

    Construct doesn't register Tap&Hold as right click. (common use for right click when using touch). Works either for touch or with a stylus.
