Another question, when it shoots, it plays the shoot animation for only a split second, how do i get it to play the anim for longer after the shot is fired?

1:There's a check box in preferences that says center view on me.

2:Try the condition "Every x ticks" set to 250ms, than add your mouse & keyboard condition V is down by right clicking and choosing add new condition.

Have you tried the Ghost shooter, or Platform school tut's yet?

yea, i used the platform tut for this, and i couldnt get his scroll to x event to work

thanx for the tips thoug

im doing a direct x game with construct and im coding logically, but for some reason construct hates me

im making a platform based game, and when i try to get the screen to scroll with my platform character it... doesnt

i have a event that says Always (every tick) : System: Scroll to X Player.X

player being my platformed sprite

also im trying to get it so that the player only shoots 1 bullet every quarter second, but i cant figure out how to do it

i tryed making a private variable on player, and when V is down and the variables Count is 0 it fires a bullet

and set the value of count to 0.25

and then i have another event where if count i equal to or greater then 0.25 it subtracts 1*timedelta from the varialbe count.

everytime i try to get my project to run it gives me a termination error, i even followed a tutorial to the teeth, but every time i try to run it, it gives me the same red termination error and just poops out

Help Please :O
