  • Ok, I guess he changed it.

    I seem to recall someone reporting it as a bug at some point.

  • I think round goes up.

    Maybe try choose(0,1)

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • You can fade a layer if you set it to not transparent, and use something like lerp to set its opacity.

    Too bad we can't use behaviors on layers.

    Also I'm pretty sure LaurenceBedford's avatar is gonna get him in some trouble.

  • rex_spline behavior does not move with constant speed in my last testing, I had not fixed that issue yet.

    I don't really expect an interpolated movement to have a constant speed, so I really don't consider it an issue.

    It's like distance. It's pretty much impossible to estimate the exact length of a spline.

    Just so long as I can get close.

  • Your spline behavior is a must have imo rexrainbow

  • Just did an export for a job.

    This was one of the objects setup to use frames as instances:

    I added the background to show the size.

  • As I said anything you learn belongs to you to use how you like, within reason, meaning there is a point where all you are doing is spitting out the same code verbatim.

    For example, if you mimic every core event, and create the same gameplay with only the graphics changed, then it could be argued that it is nothing more than a reskin.

    Basically, memorisation does not constitute learning. Then again, it's not that hard to change a mechanic to make it quite different from the original.

    I would wager that you could simply ask here on the forum, and get many suggestions on how to make it more unique.

    The licence also covers selling derivatives in the Scirra store, as it's basically reselling a template.

    Not only is that bad for the original creator, it also tugs against the terms of one commercial product.

    I would add that just making additional features like a leaderboard, or share buttons are not a change to to gameplay.

  • I think templates are set up to discourage continuous reskinning, and flipping.

    Anything you learn from a template can't be thought of as being part of a license agreement.

    Copy, and pasting events would probably not be considered as being something learned.

  • Haven't you heard? Construct 4 will export to Amazon Dash button only.

    It's the future.

  • Yes. What I've shown is probably the simplest method. You would just need to save the length of the original countdown(15 minutes) to local storage.

    Other methods might include the timer behavior using the save slot feature.

  • I think a 15 minute countdown would be:

    (15*60)-((unixtimestamp-mytimer)*0.001)

    Here's a nice plug for time formatting to keep you from getting floored to death:
