  • Well, I figured it out! And I feel a mite foolish.

    I neglected to actually place the darn playerbox into my layout. I don't know how I skipped that, I'll happily blame the fact that I'm unused to needing a second object in place to move stuff though.

    Dumb mistake- now to figure out why my dude's feet hover off the ground on creation.

    Thanks for your help!

    Here you go! Named after a genre of music I recently discovered.

  • I'm not even sure how to send over a work file, I got a copy downloaded- but don't see a way to attach a file, only images and HTML.

  • I will try and do that, sure.

    I'm not sure what the previous poster meant by making the behavior default- as far as I can tell, I can't even adjust parameters when the behavior is on my invisible rectangle.

  • I appreciate your response, and I DO have platform behaviors also on the invisible box as well.

  • Indeed I do, because if I turn that off- then nothing works at all. I have platformer and other behaviors set to the Sprite because even when they're on just the player-box, it acts like nothing happens.

    Is there something I'm missing about how those two operate? I'm not used to needing another object to handle things.

  • Hi folks,

    I've liked what I can see in Construct so far, but I'm becoming quite frustrated with the lack of updated tutorials and my inability to make things function the way they supposedly should.

    I've looked through multiple examples for how to simply make a character animate when Platform Move is activated, but for the life of me I cannot make this happen. I've got my sprites all imported, my collisions are great, my code is in there- but no matter what I do I cannot get my character to even walk anywhere.

    I got it to work exactly once, by placing the movement steps/animation into each key direction- but that just made the animation play constantly, despite a separate event telling it to stop that when movement ceased.

    So here I am, asking for help and feeling like an absolute idiot.
