Actually the 200 and 100 are linear and angular acceleration, not speeds.

For angular deceleration:

+ MouseKeyboard: [negated] Key Left arrow is down
+ MouseKeyboard: [negated] Key Right arrow is down
-> Sprite: Subtract 2*'AngularVelocity'*TimeDelta from 'AngularVelocity'
[/code:3q26kvpc]
2 is the deceleration amount .

On a side note the physics behavior is way better suited for this type of movement, as it takes very little to set up.

For that type of movement only addition and subtraction of vectors are needed. No need for dot or cross product although those are easily implementable.

Here's an example for you viewing pleasure:

Must sleep so here's the example (might explain later):

Enjoy.

I'm using the conditional operator.

It's in this format:

condition ? ifTrue : ifFalse[/code:24ozcys7]
It checks the condition, if it's true then the expression uses ifTrue value, and if it's false the ifFalse value is used.  So in my example if "global('triggercount')=1" is true 0 is used, and if it's false 1 is used.

Use the timer behavior.

Here's an example to illustrate:

It's a bug with the RTS behavior. The "arrived at waypoint" is always being triggered twice for each waypoint. So with you events two 'Sprite2' objects are being destroyed when a waypoint is reached. A solution would to only destroy 'Sprite2' every other time "arrived at waypoint" is triggered.

Here is your example with a workaround implemented:

It seems that this condition:

+ Sprite: arrived at a waypoint[/code:3i8ucuqg]
is always triggered twice, so it look like it's an issue with the RTS plugin.

What a fun project, I would have loved to do such a project in collage.

[quote:399dntbv]...open source is not terribly useful when the libraries required to compile and hence fix some of the many many bugs, are not open source.
While you can't compile the Construct's IDE from the source (unless you have the PROF-UIS library), you can compile the runtime and all the plugins as long as you have Visual Studio. You can even compile with Visual Studio Express, you just need to get a hold of the MFC/ATL libraries.

Cool example lucid. There is a lot of potential for using python to create reusable bits of code.

Here's a barebones example of using python to make your own platform behavior:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5426011/examples/pybehavior.cap

And here's a more complicated example:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5426011/examples/pyramid.cap

Although there is no need to understand how it works to use it.

You'll have to make a method for writing text one letter at a time that is TimeDelta independent. When the timescale is zero, timeDelta is zero and the timer does not increase. You can use ticks though. There is a tick pretty much every frame, and by default construct runs at 60 fps. So you can make something happen every tick or every 16 milliseconds (1000 / 60).

Here is an example:

It works for me when using the physics behavior. What other objects/Behaviors are you using? Also if you post a cap that will make it easier to figure out the reason for the crash.
