Hello everybody,

I'm sorry but I don't speak English very well, I 'll try to explain my problem.

I'm doing a flappy bird game. I try to make my bird fly (go up), but when I press the spacebar, he goes up, but the more he goes down the more it's difficult to go up.

When I begin, the bird is in the middle of the windows and when I press the spacebar, he goes up. But when he goes down, it's more and more difficult to make him go up.

The behavior is platform, the gravity is 500 and the event is "when the spacebar is pressed, set platform vector y to bird.y -700".

I don't know what's wrong because I follow the step in the tutorials.

Could you help me?

thanks

Olivier

See if this will help...

Hmm... I think I know what's wrong. Is your layout margins width and height set to something really small? If so that's the problem. Say your layout size is 960x480 you gotta make sure you're margins are something like width 200 and height 200 that will give you work space around your layout to place objects and stuff like that. If that doesn't fix it... I suggest just start a new blank layout and set it up in the sizes I mentioned just to see if it works. Also if that doesn't work just start up on of the sample games that looks about the size you need and delete everything you don't need.

wenn i try to creat a game on construct 2 a BIG WHITE BLOCK apears in the screen what i do? the white block takes half of the screen (construct 2) pls help!

can you take a pic of your screen with your phone and then upload the pic someplace like imgur. Then you can copy the image link and post it here so we can see what's going on. So Take a pic of your events and also a pic of the screen problem.

angry birds clone? LOL that's just a guess based on the pic. If you are making something like that or just looking to do the aim part of it... I seen videos on YouTube for this.

Hello,

I'm making a game in construct 2 and I want to know how i can make sure that I can resume my game from the created 'pause menu'.

I already made a pause menu, but if I want to go back to the game, the game won't save it.

So how can I make sure that I can continue my game?

As said above you'll need local storage and maybe even dictionary to save items. This will also save the room location you're in if you set it up correctly. It's a lot of work so look up tutorials on these two things. You should find some info in the search section. just type how to save game or how to save items... stuff like that. You will see post from others asking the same question you are and that should get you lots of info.

Hello, I'm brand new to Construct 2 and just recently finished following the tutorial, through which I had no issues.

My plan was to create designs and sprites of my own, and then follow the tutorial with them instead, however whenever I try to use the background tile I created, it creates a much larger canvas space around the edges of the image. How can I fix this? The original image size I was using was 800x600, and I narrowed it down to 400x300 in case it was a size issue. I have changed the size of the layout screen to the same dimensions as the image both times, and it still leaves all that extra white space between the tiles and I don't know why. I compared all of the layout and layer and object settings to that of the tutorial, and everything is the same.

I have tried resizing the image in the editor, but it is as if the white space is part of the original image, which it is not. The original file is cropped to the edges with no white space.

Here is a screen shot of the issue: https://imgur.com/WXD8R3S

I hate that when you try to fix pics and it doesn't work lol that happens. I think it's because the original layout the pic was made in 800x600 will stay that way. You made it in paint brush huh? if so... far as i know it will always come out that way if you resize it in construct 2. You need to make the original layout size to 400x300 I'm not sure what image maker will let you resize the image in construct 2 without going back to your image maker program because you can resize images without that stupid white frame popping up. the sprite images have to be made a certain way or in a certain software image maker. hopefully someone here has more info on what to use when making sprites, backgrounds and so on. As I write this I might find out what my game artist uses to make backgrounds and sprites because I have no problem with resize.

Hello,

It depends how your enemy is set up initially. If I were to try to do a similar air combo effect in Construct I would give my enemies the "Platform" behavior. Then when you hit the enemy I would modify their Y vector parameter to move them in an upwards direction. Once they are in the air you could keep re-applying the Y vector movement every time they are hit in the air.

You could also modify their max fall speed to make it more floaty when they are being hit. Though be sure to reset the fall speed once the air combo is over and you want them to fall to the ground at normal speed. And you would probably want to vary the amount of Y vector motion depending on the size of the enemy.

It would take a lot of tweaking to get just right, unfortunately there is no quick and easy way to do air combo's buttery smooth like in Marvel vs Capcom. There could possibly be a plugin for it or something in the Scirra store you could buy, but I have never searched for one.

Yeah i was thinking of something like that but i was gonna have it so any time enemy gets hit they jump and then set the jump to something small so they don't fly up too high and also change the animation of the jump to damage lol but your idea might work better so thanks for the tips! i'll see how it all works out.

Oooohhhhh nice artwork

Any chance we can get our hands on a playable demo?

haha I didn't even know the pics came out so big -_- lol and thanks! wish I could say I did it <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing"> my artist is hella good! As for demo... i'm working on that. You guys can follow the facebook page for all updates and demo release <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink">

Ok so I been messing around with trying to pull of air combos like in this video. Hitting the enemy while still in the air and they stay until the combo is finished or until you stop attacking. I did things like on collision with another object move enemy in so and so direction or set gravity to whatever for like 5 seconds but it's not really smooth or cool looking lol does anyone have other ideas I could try? I wanna do like in this video... shooting or sword swings. When enemy is shot they kinda lift up off the ground or hit with like a sword launch attack they fly up in the air ready to be beat down haha. Basically look at this video and you'll see the cool air combo stuff, thanks guys!

Here's an update for you guys on my Metroidvania project. This time you have here images of my levels coming together very nicely if I do say so myself.

Hello!

I start to do a new game where each locations has own layout in the project. The player can leave location when he enters into an exit point object (for example: portal, door, etc.). Then I change the layout by the action command "go to layout by name" and so on. The player can went back in this location again from another location.

In this situation I need to store data and I have no idea yet about true way of data save (locations, quests progress, NPC status, etc).

I guess I need to store some data by LocalStorage and another data by "Load/Save" method for save or load whole state. Anyway, I have no idea what will be a good true way for that. Perhaps, I must to save each location into separate save slot by "Save" method and keep another data as current location id variable in LocalStorage.

Maybe another way. Anyway, if I'll be save data by "Save" method after the player leave a location and "Load" again on a new location -- the data will be load from the last save.

In short I need your help - how to do all of this correctly!

Thanks and sorry, guys - an English isn't my native language.

Man saving stuff is pretty crazy lol to put it simple... one way to do it is by yes LocalStorage and also using Dictionary. A few of them actually... if you have items that you can get multiple of, then you want to make a Dictionary for each item. For the rooms/different areas... you want to somehow set up each area/room by UID... Wish i could go more in detail or share a capx but don't have the time since i'm really busy with my project and no capx i can share. I would just look up stuff on LocalStorage, Dictionary and maybe something like save and or pick by UID... hope this helps and good luck!!!

NEW VIDEO UPDATE! ENJOY!
