I basically want to trick the system into thinking a key has been pressed when it hasn't. It's meant for an easy to event, multiple control system engine. I've found a work-around, it's long winded, but seems to work. I'd rather just be able to manually tell the system that a key has been pressed without needing that key to be pressed physically

I've tried using the keycode and extra expressions plugins but haven't been able to get anything to work, is there really no way to do this?

Try having something like...

If Player.Animation = "Punch" Then

If Player.Collision with Enemy.Collision = "True" Then

Enemy.Hp = Enemy.Hp - Player.Attack

Enemy.Animation = "Damage"

End If

End If

sorry for my crappy suedo-code, I'm a terrible programmer but I can't think of how else to simply explain it lol

it's really just the ability to tell the system a keyboard key has been pressed without the user actually needing to press the key

Is there anyway to have an object being touched simulate a keyboard key being pressed/down. I'm not using behaviours for this at all. There must be someway to have something like...

If object.InTouch = True Then

KeyboardKey.Down = True

End If

Is there anyway to accomplish this without behaviours through purely the event sheet?

It's the graphical representation that I'm looking to emulate for than anything, and I'm imagining a system of doing it that is very convoluted, so are there any ideas for a simple way of achieving this look?

Rad Racer was a third person Racing game on the original NES, here's a YouTube video that shows the kind of gameplay I'm interested in mimicking.

This is more just a brainstorm post, but I'm wondering, how might everyone go about making a Rad Racer clone, any thoughts? I have a rough idea but it seems needlessly complicated and convoluted, so please forgive my crowd sourcing here lol

Sorry if this is posted on the wrong place, but I'm seriously curious about what sort of Online Multiplayer capabilities Construct 2 has, if any.

I'd like to make a browser application that allows people logged into the website to have an in-game avatar that can run around and will also show other people's avatars and what they're doing when they are logged in.

The only interactivity I desire between players is basic chat stuff. Initially just dialogue balloons above the character that speaks. Is this possible using Construct 2 alone (along with any plugins that may exist)?
