Maybe try adding 'Trigger Once' to your event that chooses the attack routine? Sounds like it might be repeating the command over and over because there's nothing telling it not to.

Ah, so I should make the players' collision boxes solid, and overlap them with a non-solid box that would be used to trigger the actual collisions and push the players away. That sounds clever...I'm going to experiment with that.

Thanks.

For your collision box, add an additional 1 px collision box at the base of it. If this one overlaps the normal one (someone is standing on top of someone else), it pushes one or both rapidly off to a side until it is no longer overlapping.

If you don't want to use two separate boxes, you can also use is overlapping at offset condition to check below.

Thanks, that article gave me something to think about. I think you've led me to a functional solution for now using overlapping with offset. But I would like you to clarify what you mean by "add an additional 1 px collision box at the base of it". Would that be a single pixel or something at, say a pixel wider than the collision box? Would that be a solid box?

I'm trying to make a game that features one-on-one fighting, and I'd like to make it so the characters can't physically pass through each other, yet don't have the solid behavior (so they can't use each other as platforms), kind of how characters can 'push' each other in Street Fighter and other 2D fighters. I tried making the characters into physics objects, but because the characters are different heights, I initially coded it so that the height of the invisible collision box changes to match the character being used. This resulted in weird behavior with the characters constantly jumping a pixel or two off the floor.

I hope I'm being clear enough. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Wow! Great start!

Thanks a lot! I've done quite a bit of under-the-hood tweaks and I'm about to start developing more characters.

Thanks for your help. I'd love to see your .capx file to see exactly what you did, but I think I get the gist. Maybe I can come up with something similar, match movements with specific UIDs of sprites in the background and line them up with the origin after movement so they stay aligned...

Hello. I made a tabletop board game a while ago that features teams of three battling each other on a grid and it turned out to be rather fun. So I thought it would be cool to try to translate it into a Construct project. I figured out how to get character select working and can make the characters move based on different speed ranges, but I wanted to learn how to get my characters moving the way they do in most turn based strategy games like Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy Tactics, etc. For reference, I wanted my game to have a similar feel to this: youtu.be/n3OVfPf_1d4

I managed to make my characters slide from one spot to another, but what I really want to do is tether the movement to a grid and possibly display an arrow showing their moving direction. Has anyone ever tried to make a game with that kind of movement in Construct? I'd love to see how it's done.

As the title says. I can't make a bug report because nothing happens. When I apply persist to any object, the game refuses to load and I get a black screen forever. When I remove the behavior, my game runs fine. This occurs in multiple projects, with the one thing in common being that they are carried over from Construct 2. The behavior works fine in Construct 2.
