Hi.

In this topic I'd like to write my methods of solving a particular problem and discuss with you how it could be made more easily and properly.

The first task:

We need to make that if we press ''Space'' sprite moves up to 64 pixels, and then if we press ''Space'' again it returns to the original position (moves down to 64 pixels) and so all the time.

I made it by 3 methods:

1st method.

2nd method.

These two methods work but not properly � when I run the application and press ''Space'' the first time nothing happens. But if I press it again � sprite moves and events begin to work .

Question: why it doesn't work the first time?

~~~

3d method.

This method works fine.

Question: is there any way to accomplish the task easier ?

Thank you very much guys! <img src="http://i987.photobucket.com/albums/ae352/constructgame/ev.gif">

P.S. Dear Administration, please remove 2 messages in Russian (Post ?35809 and Post? 35810), because this is flood (message of user Antonio_moder and my response to it). <img src="http://i987.photobucket.com/albums/ae352/constructgame/gb.gif">

Thanks!

Information about the user interface is in the registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Construct (lots of programs use the company name but we used the product name just to be different). You can then right click this and select 'export'. I think that creates a bat file or something which when you run it will copy the settings back over.

Use at your own risk

I don't know why it would reset... do you know anything in particular that causes it to reset?

I have not noticed any regularity. Probably program crash causes it to reset..

Oops, maybe not. It looks like that info is in the registry.

Exactly!

May be do you know how to copy the settings from the registry and in the case of resetting to paste them back?

But why does it reset if I don't install a new version?

And how to save the settings?

Are they resetting after you close or after a new install?

Always different.. But after a new install exactly.

Hi.

Please tell how to save the setting of the program interface? Very often the interface settings reset to the default state and I have to configure it again a long time. <img src="http://i987.photobucket.com/albums/ae352/constructgame/fn.gif">

Default interface:

My settings:

How can I save the settings to restore it after reset?

And why the settings often reset? <img src="http://i987.photobucket.com/albums/ae352/constructgame/JD.gif">

I think your best bet is to slice it up kind of like Soldjaboy's Tonks.

How is it made in the Soldjaboy's Tonks?

Hi.

Probably many of you know the old game Elasto Mania. There was a level editor in this game, which could create with lines incredibly huge monolithic (seamless) terrains for the ride a motorcycle.

I would like to know how to create large seamless terrains with the ability to texture it? (like Tile Background)

<img src="http://i45.tinypic.com/2937j2f.jpg">

I didn't find the object in Construct which could create terrain with the lines and could fill it with texture.

Please, suggest how to make this?

P.S. I've tried the Canvas object, but to create a large terrain (e.g. 7000x2500) it requires a large image (7000x2500), that leads to complete slowing of the program and decrease FPS.
