  • purplemonkey I did, and have an idea of how to go about fixing it. I'm sorry I haven't gotten around to it yet, things have just been really busy. I'll likely have a little extra time in a couple weeks, so I'll try to take a look then.

    I was wondering who that friend request was from. We'll work something out.

  • Shadowblitz16 I have no current plans to add new features. I've just been too busy since the last version was released, and I would prefer to rewrite the whole plugin when and if I do anything with it.

    le Canapin, this was a feature in the CC version of the plugin, but I never got around to bringing over, and as stated above I currently have no development plans.

  • It sounds like the object's origin is off center. Try placing the origin in the center if it isn't already.

  • From the top post of the corresponding forum thread:

    [quote:gepnngpn]Unrar the file into your "Construct 2\Effects"

    After putting the effect into the Effects folder, it should be available in Construct from the effects list.

  • Two options I can think of off the top of my head:

    1. Create a parser to do it. Algorithms to do this are pretty common.

    2. Use the ExecJS() expression in the browser object. e.g. ExecJS("4 + 2 * 3") returns 10. This can open you up to security problems, though, so be careful.

  • Conditional expression(under operators).

    object.X > player.X ? 1 : -1[/code:1i8lf16y]
  • This is a pretty complex subject, and there's a lot of advice that could be given. Being a software engineer by trade, I can give a few tips. Abstraction is your friend, as is the separation of logical systems. Smart use of things like families and generalized functions aid the former, while the use of separate event sheets/groups are good for the latter. The key is to not let a single system get too complicated. If a system -- such as an inventory, for example -- begins to get too complicated, you should step back and see if it can be broken up into multiple connected systems instead of one monolithic one.

    Remember: complex is better than complicated.

  • A quick forum search would be a good place to start looking for an answer. For anything else, you'll have to be more specific.

  • I looked at the tutorial, and it should be fairly simple to adapt to LocalStorage. If you look at the manual entry for LocalStorage, they suggest using a dictionary -- where you can also set/get values with keys -- to create a system similar to WebStorage. That manual entry also gives basic instructions on how to use LocalStorage, so I definitely suggest checking it out.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

  • WebStorage has been deprecated in favor of LocalStorage and can no longer be added to new projects. All new projects should use the LocalStorage plugin.

  • Add your conditions to a single event, then right click that event and click "Make 'Or' block".

  • There's no need to explicitly mark as solved. However, if you really want to, you can always prefix something like "[SOLVED]" to the beginning of the topic title by editing the first post.
