  • prealpha of an editor I'm working on for character creation for c1 and c2:

  • post the cap file, or a screenshot of your event sheet and a paste of your python

    it could be any number of problems.

    here's some questions which would be helpful in troubleshooting if you decide not post it

    what is 'File "gmdat" does not exist' , and what does it have to do with what follows

    is the function that makes the message box appear made with events then?, and the function object? is it called from events

    is it python that calls it?

    make sure your python is in events, if you don't want it to run every tick, one time things like defining python functions, etc should be done in start of layout.

    The function object and python functions of course let you run them once, or any time they are called. There is another error somewhere.

    before we figure out why python won't respond to the [1] text object, lets try to get rid of the nonstop creation of text objects.

  • hey ash, I still think it'd make a huge difference, psychologically, that you called the first complete version 2.0, and set benchmarks for what you would call 3.0, 4.0 etc. Make them legitimate goals, but don't have set time limits. it's not like photoshop is a totally different program each time they increment.

    It would be the exact same business model, except it could be phrased much more attractively:

    When you purchase Construct 2, you get two years of free upgrades, so you're future proofed if Construct 3 rolls around during that time, you won't have to repurchase. Even better : new features of Construct 3, such as Android Export and iPhone export, and Directx11 and Stereoscopic 3d support for the windows runtime, will be released as they are completed, so you don't have to wait for a future release date to start using them. Any updates you have received in this way during those 2 years you get to keep, even if you don't purchase the next version.

  • post the cap

  • pixelperfect pacman in lbp2

  • the images aren't showing up for me. maybe dropbox is temporarily down?

  • if you want to set or alter each variable:

    loop from 0 to the number of variables you have

    when setting a variable or adding/subtracting from it, right click where you select the name of the variable and click "use expression", and type 'loopindex' (without the quotes)

    I can't think of a way off the top of my head to use the values

    like

    sprite(loopindex) or anything like that won't work

    maybe with python there's a way

  • For example. You could synchronize the X and Y velocities of a platform and physics behavior, and then modify the platform movement to not be able to directly affect player movement, but do it through the physics object. But that's just me talking....

    *Example 2: someone wanted a platform game where some platform characters would ghost through certain platforms and others wouldn't.

    I've submitted code to the svn that makes these two things possible

    if it gets into the next version, physics will take nonphysics movement into account in a stable, predictable way,

    and platform movement will have an option to ignore certain object types temporarily or permanently, on a per platform movement object basis.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • I think I may have a fix.

    I've tested it a bit, but one or two extra testers won't hurt

    if this works for you guys I'll submit it to the svn

  • nope, just gotta figure it out when you first come to it. narrow it down to the exact cause before your game gets too big or then you have bugs everywhere.

  • Its not the animations ,i toned them down all the way and still i get the dreaded memory id block error which CS chucks at me.And the collisions switches off randomly and the games goes out without any notice.And when the character respawns it loses its collisions or freezes up.this after i toned down all those frames.Some events wont even play on the next layout even though it worked perfectly on the previous layout.

    Well at least it runs at 60fps and not at 15 fps anymore lol.

    you should post these types of problems at help/tech support. there may be people who have had some of the same problems in the past, or can help you troubleshoot them. Also posting bug reports is a good way to get individual bugs fixed, once you can confirm it's a bug and narrow down what causes it to happen. there are still bugs being fixed in every new version. This is the bugfix todo list.

  • you look different today gullanian...did you get a haircut?
