Try using the particles object with the One-shot option checked

Oh okay.

I was using that syntax for the first time =/

I seem unable to enter any global variables but the first one in the System Compare condition.

It validates and accepts, but then in the event sheet they look and work like I had input the first global var.

I made a complex calculation and now it's full of the same variable over and over

O_O where's that option?

I'd keep the properties bar, as I find it useful to read values that I need to use while I write events.

However, not being able to pick objects makes it pretty useful, so I'd like that.

The object bar is now taking up space and duplicating the function of the objects folder in the project panel, as they're usually both visible (but you can't drag objects out of the project panel!)

So:

-remove object panel.

-allow properties to be shown for an object clicked in the project bar, even while editing properties.

-allow objects to be created by dragging out of the project bar into the design area.

whee! more design space!

Also: the ribbon might not be portable, but I don't think IDE portability is a goal anway, just runtime. The former would be a TON of work.

How good is Siren: Blood Curse?

I've played the first, but it's very unforgiving... so much that I got bored with it.

I know it's slow and you're supposed to replay a bunch but I just couldn't go past one stage where there were snipers everywhere.

i Am J, an oldschool platformer with linear levels and a worldmap (style SMB3 )

The thing with this game is that certain NPCs and events interact with the character throughout the levels, and quests can go between levels as well. There's a shop system and three levels are already fully fledged. As I know myself, though, I'd probably drop that in a couple of days due to loss of interest. Chiptune OST and graphics are mine, too.

They're 1024x768 pics so I suppose I'll just hotlink them D:

Heavily influenced by Clash at Demonhead ;p

Looking sharp! are you using huge graphics or crispify? or both?

This is an update to the scanlines effect I uploaded a long time ago. Mods are welcome to delete the older thread, as this one supercedes it.

This effect produces dark, smooth "scanlines". You just input the number of lines the screen will have and the width (as a coverage percent) and the intensity. Optionally you may provide an offset, so you can have the scanlines oscillate or glide or whatever. This is done as a percentage, so 0% and 100% look the same.

Example:

+ System: Always (every tick)

-> Sprite: Scanlines : Set Offset to int(Timer/5)%100

This will have the scanlines move up. It's speed will depend on the amount of scanlines you have chosen.

I've been reading about this technique but I can't figure out how it works.

I have one simple question: is it feasible to use non-square collision bases?

Anyhoo, I updated the cap with a soft shadow (blurs and fades the higher you go up, looks nice) and tweaked controls to go with modern times XD (up is up, diagonal is diagonal).

Done in .9994

Some countries may not download from this host. Sorry bout that, can't fix it myself. Overzealous protection from spambots in those blocks is responsible.

I gave it a try once and I couldn't figure it out.

Basically the algorithms go pixel by pixel, while pixel shaders go texel by texel. Particularly in Construct (never tried writing shaders for anything else) they go in screen space, not object space as the algorithm goes.

So I have no idea how to even go about it.

Hi. Is there any chance this can be fixed?

I'd like to use it for a game that zooms around a lot and this 'bind to layout' thing kind of breaks everything. Also, cameras seem jittery for some reason.

Might go with events instead, which would suck because this plugin has all I want.

I read "Massive Black" and "$9.99" and I was like O_O
