*sigh* how lame, ok I dont want to have to do that but its my only choice I guess. thanks

there I posted the cap, once again Im haunted by my inability to make this in construct

yeah with the way im doing this that would definitely make the events more complicated, thanks for the advice though. I havent really played with the layout editor much. Heres my .cap if u want to see what Im talking about. http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/740832/SMSzil.cap

pretty much trying to remake my own version of a sega master system game. Youll notice that you lag while jumping (hold X) and falling. If you delete a bunch of bricks from the lower area you shouldnt lag. Problem is I need to make a huge map to get that good scrolling transition between areas.

Ok so Iw ant to make a huge world map on the same layout much like metroid. problem is,once I get to so many objects the game begins to lag and cause itself to function unintentionally. This has happened to me in 98.9 and in my current version 99.42. I believe because there are so many objects in the game, construct tries to render or do events with them even if they are offscreen. Many of my events have "If Object is onscreen" in them but it doesnt seem to help. Is there any way that we can have objects that are X many pixels away from the screen to not be rendered or scripted at all? In metroid I assume they solved this with their "loading doors" which loaded the next room when entered, which would be nice If construct could do. http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/740832/SMSzil.cap

lol me neither ashley but it would be interesting to see what people could come up with. im not saying you should put compatibility in for construct for 2 mice, that would be a waste.

It would be interesting to have two mouse pointers on one computer and make games utilizing both cursors. Theres a program that allows one to have two pointers but I ahvent tried it since its for XP and I have windows 7. http://cpnmouse.sourceforge.net/ Any ideas?

Mouse and keyboard XD duh, but I've run into another problem, the character cant shoot lasers >.<

Nevermind, solved my own problem. damn Im smart. ok not really but yeah, thanks for the help

Ok I have a problem. I have multiple levels and I want to apply one event sheet to all of them. Sounds easy huh? Just include the event sheet in each layout's events and copy & paste all the same items over right? Nope. Doesnt work. J.J. can walk left and right but cant jump. I also tried the same thing with their global object checkmarked but that makes it worse, you cant do anything!

Heres my cap made in the most recent build 99.42:

Arrow keys= move, crawl, getup

X=jump (its a wierd kind of jumping you gotta hold it down)

C=fire

Im on Windows 7 and I dont use any custom plugins

Don't forget if you have a friend who works at Best Buy or some electronics store he could possibly buy it for dirt cheap, for example this ram I wanted cost 120 dollars and my friend got it for 75!

congratulations, just dont let it overheat like mine, now in order to play games on mine i need to have half of it lay off my desk, or buy a cooling unit.

Construct>Scum

Must spread word of construct's awesomeness!
