Hi again,

One other Question;

When adding the Mouse or Keyboard object, in the bar at the top a small bar appears

as a countdown that says something along the way of "Will be Applied to whole Project"

or something and counts down and then the bar disappears.

What exactly is it talking about?

Does anyone know?

Many thanks.

Hi all, I'm having a problem with something, in the tutorial where

its says the monsters are to stay on screen, however when I put the info in it seems the

objects continue to move off the page even though they are pointing in different directions and

none seem to stay on the layout.

I do not know if this is intended but needed to ask. Towards bottom of page:

Making monsters a little smarter

Tutorial beginners-guide-to-construct-2/page-5

Right now the monsters just wander off the layout to the right. Let's make them a bit more interesting. First of all, let's start them at a random angle.

This works it seems

Condition: System -> On start of Layout

Action: Monster -> Set angle -> random(360)

Event 4 of the tutorial.

They will still wander off forever when they leave the layout, never to be seen again. Let's keep them inside. What we'll do is point them back at the player when they leave the layout. This does two things: they always stay within the layout, and if the player stands still, monsters come right for them!

(This is where I'm thinking there is a problem cause the monsters do not stay in layout)

Condition: Monster -> Is outside layout

Action: Monster -> Set angle toward position -> For X, Player.X - for Y, Player.Y.

Run the game. If you hang around for a while, you'll notice the monsters stay around the layout too, and they're going in all kinds of directions. It's hardly AI, but it'll do!

Other than adding some functionality to the keyboard for Player movement, the file up to this point should be

just like the tutorial on the website.

Basic questions I know and thanks for the input.

Finally have the time to work on this stuff.

Thanks

Thank you Geo for this reply, I really appreciate it.

And thank you to everyone else as well.

I will begin looking into all that you suggested and since I'm at the beginning stages, I will be bothering you all a lot

on this forum. I apologize in advance.

Hi to the Construct community.

I would like to know if using my skills as a former 3d animator, creating say

lightning effects and particle effects from Lightwave and using said Lightwave

for creating my objects and my own effects for use in Construct is possible?

I was a 3D Character animator, so I would also like to create characters for my own games,

can I do this with Construct? meaning create the character animations and

import them like in a .PNG animation?

I also use Flash and many of the adobe products, how would they be useful for

my work in Construct?

I guess I'm asking what exactly what are my limitations when creating some of the

graphics and effects i want to?

I'm new to creating games and truly, there are so many ways to turn to get started and

I do not know really where to start.

Would anyone be able to suggest a good starting point or how you would proceed?

A learning path.

Right now I'm doing the beginners tutorials.

Many thanks

Thank you, I will.

However, I must wait till I get version r185.

I have version r184 and it says your file was

done in or saved in r185 or newer.

And it looks like r184 is whats available on the web site

to DL atm.

Thank you all for your help I deleted the Original tutorials and started fresh and Discovered I had to have done something but what I do not know, I got it fixed though!

I have run into a problem with the beginner tutorial where you add the Bullet to shoot from player

in the Event Sheet.

For some reason, the player not only fires the bullet but also the explosion and the

the enemy ships as well, I have not been able to correct it no matter what I try.

Can anyone help here because to this point Ive done exactly what the tutorial says with some

minor corrections to layout size.

Many thanks and SCIRRA, I like this software of yours.
