  Hi

  I have a sloped jumpthrough platform which acts as a ramp between two completely flat jumpthrough platforms (see diagram below)and I'd like to make it so that when the player is already standing on a flat platform they can walk past the ramp but can still jump onto it from the bottom and go down it from the top.Is it possible to do this in Construct 2 without needing to create a custom movement?

  Hi

  I?m trying to create a platform game where the player defeats his enemies with a sword or a similar kind of weapon however I?m having trouble figuring out an approach that works, so I just wanted to find out how other people have implemented sword based attacks effectively in their own games?

  Any help would be appreciated

  thanks

  Nice

  However having a separate pair of buttons for moonwalking feels rather awkward and a little redundant, have you tried making the character automatically moonwalk when the player holds down the shoot button and moves in the opposite direction to what they are facing?

  Also out of curiosity how are you creating your tiles because the seams are quite visible.

  I changed Max Speed, Acceleration, and Deceleration all to the same value because I figured that would fix things but it hasn't.

  Hi

  how do I tell the platform behaviour to stop accelerating and decelerating when moving? I would like to create a platform game with the same level of control over stopping and starting as Castlevania and Megaman do.

  any help would be appreciated

  thanks

  I exited all other Internet explorer windows,I closed & reopened the file, I even restarted my computer but I never once thought to click refresh & as it turns out thats all I had to do to fix it.

  Thanks it appears to be working now

  Hi I'm back again

  Sorry to bring up a topic that is by now probably considered old

  I have gone through the beginners tutorial once again & noted the problems that I encountered in order, I have also included a link to the file.

  Before starting I downloaded the latest version of construct 2 & upgraded internet explorer to 9.

  the first time I clicked run layout at the end of the "Tiled background" section of the tutorial Construct ran a earlier project and not the current one.

  By the time I had finished the section on "How to add behaviour" construct decided it would preview the current project however the scrolling skipped periodically as I moved the player around.

  After this absolutely none of the changes I made showed up in the preview when clicking run layout, they were however present in the exported project.

  Here is the file

  Any help would be appreciated

  Is there any chance it could have to do with my browser settings or something like that? I kept getting a messsage about Intranet or something & after I told it not to show again now all I get is a message saying

  "Assertion failure: Plugin ID 'Mouse' is missing. Check the plugin IDs match in edittime and runtime scripts. Note this can also occur when there is an error in a plugin script that prevents the browser from loading the script - check the error console"

  I've just been going through the basic tutorial so I doubt uploading my file would help much.

  Regardless what are some of the alternatives to Drop box that are commonly used here?

  Is it normal for Construct to be some what selective about what events it listens do or what sprites it displays?

  Because sometimes only some of my sprites show up & other times only some of my events work & I can't figure out why

  I think maybe the program just doesn't like me. <img src="smileys/smiley19.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  Because the first time I decided to download it I experienced similar issues & quickly cast it aside since then I've bought a new computer & downloaded the latest version & it still won't co-operate.

  Any ideas why Construct 2 is doing this?
