My last time on the forums was maybe 3 or 4 years ago BEFORE construct was even at version 1! I had ideas for a metroid stye platform game but unfortunately Personal issues, both financial and family related, kept me away from my computer and the idea's I had seemed to had been put on hold indefinitely. These days things have been a lot better for myself and my creative side has been itching again so I decided to come back here and check out construct once more and WOW! have things changed! version 2! Anyways,I just wanted to say hello to you folks out there and here's to my return and I hope I get to meet some of you guys and maybe work together in the future!

Thanks! I misunderstood the part where I had to create a actual group for the events.

http://files.getdropbox.com/u/1515365/m ... actice.cap

can someone look at that and tell me whats going on? double jumping isnt working for me. (supposed to double jump only AFTER you get the item)

Im trying to double jump after getting an item but the character is double jumping even without getting the item. I did exactly what was done in platform tutorial but its not working correctly. I cant figure it out.... How can I send my .cap file so maybe one of you guys can take a look at it?

You guys are mind readers! I came on about to ask the very same exact question!

Your right he does, but I think i missed it cuz like I dummy I was using 0.99 and DUH the tutorial doesnt work right with that version. I'll look it over one more time...thanks.

I looked around and couldnt find a way to double jump properly. I tried to figure it out on my own and geez you shouldve seen the mess I made. can someone give me step by step instructions on this?

And on a side note I feel I have to apologize to everyone because I've been asking so many questions in such a short amount of time. I really dont want anyone to hold my hand thru this project Im working on but as I have almost no experience in this sorta thing I feel like I have no choice. Yea, I know this is THE place to ask questions but I still feel a bit guilty for asking so many....

OMG thats awesome!!! Thank you so much! But um....do you think you can explain to me what exactly is going on in the events and how can I go about speeding up how fast the cube slides down the wall?

*update!*

Nevermind, I think I understand whats goin on in the events. BUT I did notice that the cube slides down the wall regardless if your holding the direction or not. for example, if I jump right towards the wall if I left go of right it still slides down. Is there a way to make it slide ONLY if your holding the direction of the wall? Hope I make sense. Thanks!

Hey guys, Im currently using the stable version of construct, 0.98.9 and tho Im enjoying its stability I often need help since Im still a beginner so I download others .cap to see what they did and how they did it but alot of times I cant run it because it requires the newer, unstable version of construct. Now should I switch to the newer one since it seems many people are using it or should I stick with what Im using?

I have no idea how to set up a wall slide! can someone help me please??

Thats a great idea! I have a few things I wanted to try. I have a shooting platform game in mind and 2 of the main weapons I know I want to use will be similar to the lancer and hammer burst in Gears of War 2. Last nite I created a simple square pacman looking player thing (now name "Dude") who can walk and jump and shoots bullets. I made the shooting function kinda like the hammer burst where if you hold left click it shoots normally but if you clicked and double clicked really fast you could shoot faster. I even changed the accuracy a lil bit so it didnt shoot perfectly straight when left click is held and if you rapidly tap click it would be even less accurate (recoil? lol). These may be very easy things to do for some people but since yesterday is officially day one of construct for me I thought it was very satisfying to see something I thought of actually in motion. Rite now Im just using simple shapes to test out my ideas and when I figure out how to do all of them I'll get to work on creating sprites to put everything together. I cant wait to have an actual game that i created on screen!

YOUUUUUUUUU!
