I got this to work but there has to be a better way. I found it my just guessing. Construct was not very intuitive here. It took me 30 minutes of playing. Coding would have taken 30 seconds.

Car On Bounce

Sub-event) Car Is Moving: Car Stop

(Sub-event) Trigger Once: MaxSpeed - Car[Car].MaxSpeed -25

I am new to Construct so I am just getting up to speed, but while making games in Game Maker I used their scripting language in every program.

As I progress I am trying every way to hold off from using Python because it seem to be broken more than working. That said I would not want to get deep into a game only to find that all my efforts are lost due to another Python outage.

One of the big claimed advantages Construct has over Game Maker is the scripting language. I really hope Scirra can get this problem solved. It will make a great programming tool even better!

In my car game every time it hits the wall I deduct from its top speed due to damage.

The problem is that in a tight hair pin turns you can bounce back and forth so much that the car is wrecked. But If I use the stop command the car stays in contact with the wall and continues to take damage until it can not move.

Any ideas how make this work?

I wish you could control, the amount of bounce and dampen it.

That was a huge help toralord

THANK YOU!!!

Great example for high score gammabeam !!!

Can you do one for the display time too please?

I need to time how long it takes for you to complete my game, form start to end. Can someone explain (or give an an example) of a timer. I need help to report in seconds, and then display it the time.

Also is there a high score?

Well layouts were not as obvious as you might think for a new user. They are now. that I am aware of them now.

Thanks for all you help I will be done with my beginner game soon now.

WOW layouts Changed everything! They are like the rooms on GameMaker.
