i simply dont get it!

I followed the eamples, and my scene crashes each time I try to switch from one camera to the other.

I love the eamples! I just wish I could get it to work.

Im running the latest construct

Hi constructors... I'm thinking of creating a something requiring "camera zoom". I'm hoping construct can do this... But also I'm hoping it can be done in such a way that different layers can have different zoom rates... Giving the 2d animation depth effect,

can this be done? If so, how? Can it be user controlled (press a key and camera zooms and pans to a point defined in coding). Thanx in advance!

Thanx heaps everyone!

I havnt done too much with any of these thingsbut sounds very doable. Am I right in assuming you can have multiple animation sets in bones, then "trigger" them as required?

Thanx again!

Hey everyone, I have been piecing together ideas for a holiday construct project. Here is one piece I need to be sure of before committing 100%... I'm dreaming a small character design studio where the user can edit base parts of a sprite (pixelart).eg: taking the head and customising it by adding new bits to it...

Then, the altered characters are saved then the parts are assigned to pre-animated bones (pre animated using invisible objects). I guess it would be similar to a "drawn to life" concept... Onlythe characters will be controllable pixel puppets for manipulation... Not a platform game.

I'm guessing it may be complex... However, I noticed an "image editing" icon and am hoping it may be possible.

Any help, advice or guidence is greatly appreciated!

Especially in the area of image editing and saving within an app/game.

Thanx in advance!

Hey there,

Are there any tutorials out there on Construct specific pixel art? Im not after a "how to draw and anmate (im an ex-disney artist)...Im after a tutorial on how to break up a generated sprite sheet...create frames within a sprite that can be looped, triggered and called upon as needed.

Thanx in advance.

thanx, I just stumbled onto cam studio. looks good!

Hey there, Im wanting to capture video files of whats going on in my creations. Can construct do this, has someone created a plug-in to allow construct to do this...or do I need a 3rd party program/app? If so, what do you recomend?

Im seeking a plug-in that will enable realtime audio (via mic) to be recognised as an action and trigger events based on the volume of the audio.

Has this already been done? Is there anyone out there that could create such a plugin?

Thanx

Hi, I jut noticed the "text to speak" icon and began thinking.

But before I think way too hard and get kind of excited, I thought I should find out a few things...

By using this "text to speach" thing...will you hear a text file being read?

Can you extract the text file from storage on the computer whilst program is running?

Also...does Construct have recognition of live audio? eg: a mic plugged into the computer...when audio is heard, and action can be triggered?

Thanx in advance.

wooooops, sorry. my bad.

I know this may be an obvious question, but its kind of hard to explain what Im thinking.

I just got an idea out of nowhere for a potential project.

I was thinking a side veiw battle between a character and physics effected objects...not to mention a beastly boss.

The way I see it is each level containing a beast/boss that needs to be destroyed by creating carnage of pillars, bricks and rocks....the main character would jump, then detinate the desired blasts to topple objects in the hope of crushing the beast.

I imagine this game would not only be against the beast (who is also pushing the enviroment over) but against yourself...as one false move could result in self squishiness.

Has anyone tried anything like this before?

Any tips or pointers before I begin to flesh it out?

It may not go any further...but i kinda got excited and wanted to see if there are such projects already underway.

Thanx man!
