  • I made this in my game, but I think I over-complicated it a bit.

    Here's the code for it:

    And here is a video of it working:

    It's kinda hard to explain what's going on, but if you need any help just ask. I'm sure there must be an easier way though.

    Also I just noticed I left it out of the screen, but "lastDoorType" is just there to see which direction the player must be facing when he comes out.

    Oh, and those "doorX" and "doorY" variables are there to check where the player must be standing when he enters a screen. Every screen has to have a "On start of layout: set player.x to doorX and player.y to doorY".

  • If you uninstall the personal Construct. Then install the free Construct, opt for beta on the Free, restart, it will update the Free to the latest one. Then if you install the Personal Construct it will load as the latest beta version :P

    It's just a workaround, but will do for the moment.

    Thanks, tried it here and it worked!

  • I'd advise you to finish this on Construct Classic, then moving on to a new project on Construct 2.

    I've done this. It just doesn't offer me any beta updates after selecting from the dropdown menu. I've uninstalled construct and downloaed it again from Steam, and it still will install v 114.

    Any other suggestions?

    I got it to work by downloading the latest version from here:

    scirra.com/construct2/releases

    And installing it on Construct's Steam folder ("c:/program files/steam/steamapps/your name/common/construct 2" or something like that).

    Actually I installed it on a regular folder, then selected everything and copy/pasted onto it's Steam folder, and it worked. Not sure if it's advisable though. I'm pretty sure this is a bug with Steam, since they're new with apps and such.

  • The version on Steam is the latest. But it's the latest stable version, as in, the most reliable one. The newer ones are beta versions, and they aren't as reliable.

    You can download both from Steam, just right-click Construct 2, go to properties and select the "beta" tab, and change the option.

    It doesn't work for me because of some bug.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Really weird, I don't have Avast. I use Win8 and Windows Defender, since it comes with it.

    But anyway, I tried that and it seems like it worked (I'm not getting the error anymore), but I still can't download the latest beta from Steam.

    Do I just have to change the option and wait? Or maybe it'll only work when the next beta comes out?

    Thanks Ashley!

  • You can use Node-Webkit, it runs better and you can export to Mac and Linux with it, but I think it's only available in the beta releases (running 117 here).

  • Probably it's because the first two lines are running at the same time, so AJAX haven't got the time to request the file yet.

    Instead of using "on start of layout" try using "on AJAX finished" or something like this, I'm sure it had an option like that.

  • Not sure where I should post this, but...

    I've been getting this error when trying to opt-in in the beta 117, since it was the version I was using before.

    If I click "ok", Construct 2 opens, but it's still version 114. <img src="smileys/smiley18.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

    I tried re-installing everything, checking the integrity cache, etc, but nothing works. If I opt-out of the beta, I still get the error, unless I reinstall it completely.

    Another weird thing is that when I download it, it says the size is 300+ MB, but it actually is just 98MB.

    It works normally if I don't opt in the beta, though.

  • You could use the bullet behavior on a text object that shows the score, but I think it would look ugly. Maybe you should look into sprite fonts.

    scirra.com/forum/plugin-spritefont-28th-august-2012_topic45876_page1.html

    edit: OR, if you're just going to show "+3" or something like that, you wouldn't need sprite font, I guess.

  • These are pretty funny! I really should record mine too.

  • Wow, that's a really bad "tutorial". It isn't even commented.

    Anyway;

    1. Construct 2 can't create objects if there's no instance of them anywhere on the project, that's why he probably put them out of the layout. Putting them there doesn't affect performance or anything, it just helps to make the layout more "clean".

    2. About the door you've mentioned, it took me a while but I found the code. If you go to the right of your screen, click on the "project" tab, and open the event sheets directory, there are two event sheets.

    <img src="http://i.imgur.com/4srvMw0.png" border="0" />

    He basically creates a black square, makes it the size of the layout, starts fading it, and when it's done it sets Link's position to the room.

    This is a really really REALLY bad tutorial to learn from, so please avoid it. The programming on how you move Link around is really... different.

    Cheers!
