  • Ya, I agree it has to just be a browser support issue with Chrome because my game works flawlessly with Firefox, IE9, Opera, and Safari. Well maybe not so flawlessly with Firefox but close.

  • I think it happens when you are pressing a direction, and the frame skips, and it 'remembers' that movement state, and keeps walking in that direction.

    I have the same problem on a 4870.

    The way to fix it in-game is quite simple; walk in the direction your character is walking, and it will reset.

    To fix the actual bug? I'm not so sure.

    The same thing is happening to me using Chrome with one of the games I am working on. Your quick fix works. I'm glad to know that my game works correctly for people with good graphic cards.

  • Hello imissu2

    To make the explosion smaller click on, and select your explosion sprite. Then on the left in the properties window were it says size you can change the size of your sprites there.

    To make it fade out, in the properties window select add/edit next to were it says edit behaviors. In the new window click on the add new button. Then in the new window under general select Fade then close window, and go back to properties window, and were it says fade out time you can adjust the speed. 0.5 is a good speed for an explosion.

    Hope this helps

  • Thank you very much R0J0hound for your great solution. I was going about it all wrong. It would have taken me forever to get it rite. Thanks again   <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  • You could try to use the "Move the MovingPlatform object according to a formula" that can be found in your Construct 2 examples folder. I believe it is the Platform 6 example.

  • OK, now I see the problem. In the example above I made a wall taller than the layout size so I couldn't recreate the problem. lol This time I just made a small box in the middle. In my first example I set everything so that the ball would bounce as if it were inside a box like in a breakout game.

    Now the problem is figuring out how to accurately make the ball bounce of a box in the center from all angles. I will play around with it and see if I can figure it out. This will require a different technique in other words "I will have to think outside the box." LOL

    Anyway here is the capx. of the problem:

    Bounce Problem

    If anyone has any ideas your help would be appreciated. This one has me stumped.

  • Hello sqiddster

    Did you remember to give the wall in the middle a solid behavior? Because it is working for me. Here is my example:

    Bouncing ball wall in the middle example

    Maybe I'm misunderstanding your issue. If I am could you post a capx. for me to look at?

  • Hello chrisbrobs

    Here is a quick example I through together for you.

    Platform Animation Example

    Hope this helps.

  • — I just tested it out in Safari 5, IE9, Firefox, Chrome, and Opera. And yes the audio works great in all browsers.

  • Are you using your bullet behavior instead of my Custom Movement behavior? The reason I ask is because Iv been trying to recreate this problem with no luck. Maybe it is just a bug with the Bullet behavior.

  • What kind of problem are you having with the ends of the walls?

  • Hi sqiddster

    The only way I could figure out how to make an object accurately bounce off straight walls was to get rid of the bullet object, and use the CustomMovement object instead. Here is an example I made.

    Bouncing Ball Example

    You will have to play around with the CustomMovement actions if you want to adjust, or change things.

    Hope this helps.

  • Hi milleradam37

    If your knew to making sprites here is a great 3 part tutorial that covers making minimal pixel art, as well as provides some info about using Adobe Photoshop. I think the answers your looking for are explained in detail in part 2.

    Article: Creating Minimal Pixel Art with Photoshop (Part 1)

    Creating Minimal Pixel Art with Photoshop (Part 2)

    Creating Minimal Pixel Art with Photoshop (Part 3)

    If you don't have Photoshop you can get a free trial. Or get Gimp it's free. what can be done in Photoshop can be done in Gimp they have the same tools.

  • Ya when I start to add things to my game the seam breaks in firefox, Opera, and the worst seems to be Chrome. But explorer still works, and Safari seems to be the best for this.

    I was going to make a retro plane shooter/bomber with a never ending scroll similar to the style of the ATARI 2600 Barnstorming game that came out in 1982. Man I loved that game back then. lol

    I think it's just a browser support issue. I guess I will just put this project on hold for now and start something different.

    Thanks for all the help though Kyatric

  • Hi blueFire

    I think you could use the AJAX object in Construct 2 for that. AJAX can be used for interactive communication with an XML file. Here is a tutorial on how to do it with php:

    I don't know if that will help but I'm sure there are some AJAX/XML tutorials out there.
