  • When the internet goes down I just see a big C3 Icon when I try to use contruct. I know my license is supposed to work even when the internet is down.

    I can get the beta to work, so that is something.

  • Give a B for a good story. I once claimed a dog...I mean bug ate my C3 program.

  • Hello;

    In a function if I type foo.uid it is valid if there is any sprite out in the universe named foo. What I really wanted was food.uid. Inside a group it would be nice to have some kind of "strict" type of setting so that I can only access stuff I mention as accessable at the top of the group.

    This would help in writing large projects.

  • Hello;

    I wrote a small RPG that can be played from the web in about 15 minutes. It uses public domain graphics and sound. Here it is:

  • Hello all;

    As long as we are talking about 3D adding to a game -- I hope this 2.5D interlude doesn't detract from continuing to build a very strong 2d only engine. Anybody serious about 3d is going to go elsewhere. You are better off doing your part of the game 2D market extremely well than a little 3d halfway.

    Still, I like to see 2.5D shapes as a minor distraction same as the next fella.

  • Hello;

    I tried the basic save and load on sprites related by hierarchy and when I load

    the child is no longer a child they are independent sprites.

    Is there something extra I need to do for hierarchy to load it?

    thanks

  • Thanks Dop 2000. That worked.

  • Hello;

    I want to put

    h--toggles this message

    s--saves the game

    l--loads the game

    into a text box, but when I hit the enter key after the first line in the editor the text box vanishes.

    thanks

  • pick one with instance 0 and the other with instance 1.

    Otherwise you can't tell them apart. So use pick by instance.

  • I can never get mine to work when the internet is down, and I use it every day. There is supposed to be some kind of grace period so you can work without internet access for a while. But it doesn't work for me.

  • use functions. You can have event sheets which are really just groups of similar functions and work like a library in a normal programming environment. Suppose MonsterOne is a member of the monster family write functions that have the form

    functions.MoveMonster(UID)

    inside function pick monster by UID

    The SOL is completely reset by a function call and all functions are now global so you don't need to worry about including the event. Just name your functions in a logical manner so you can find them

  • hexagonal tile maps

  • You can view any website through the oculus 2 quest. If you publish your Construct 3 to a web site you can view it in VR.

  • Thanks Headbang;

    that is a good idea.
