  • Even so, you're really using the wrong tool for the job. If the game didn't look ugly, the code would.

  • Not first-person shooters, no. Construct only really supports 2D gameplay - you can use 3D boxes to make the graphics 3D - but the gameplay, movement, collisions etc still remain based in a 2D world.

  • Ah, I hadn't realised that wasn't working, it definitely should... I'll see what I can do for the next build.

  • Yeah, leave a tracker item so I remember to get back to it.

  • It depends. How do you move the sword? Is it a built in movement or custom events? If custom events, you could add the number of pixels covered to a private variable, and when this exceeds a value (eg. 100 pixels) stop the movement of the sword.

  • That's odd... it works if you move it to the top left of the layout. Post it to the tracker and I'll try get round to it before the next build.

  • It should, but I don't think it does.

  • How exactly could you do all this if you can't use expressions?

    Actually, family expressions are fully implemented. However, they do not appear in the object panel in the parameters dialog, which is a legitimate complaint. In the mean time, the expression 'Family.X' will work as you'd expect (for a Family of Sprites). You just have to type it yourself!

  • User "_/\./\_" has been deleted for being an additional account of TheInstance, and TheInstance has been issued with a warning. If this thread does not continue solely for the purposes of pursuing the animations bug, it will be locked.

  • TheInstance, Rich has written parts of Construct. I don't think he deserves that attitude - I'm guessing he knows the most about the topic at hand. He is right that you should not set animations in an Always event - you should set an animation once, then it will continue to play from that moment.

  • I can't see any problem if you use the standard text object, but that's an awful lot of fancy DirectX technology to do some really basic stuff!
