    Wow mods are really slow on this one. Middle of the day too.

  • If not your events, it might actually be your keyboard. Try certain key combinations and then press up to test.

  • Pretty sure Ashley is working on editor spritesheeting for C3 so that will drastically improve preview times. Until then, however...

  • mudmask Would love to but it doesn't seem possible at the moment. WiiU is the only console C2 can export to and from what little I've heard it's extremely limited. We'll see how things are by the time C3 is out.

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • I use both equally so..hm. I typically have eMain which includes ePlayer, eEnemies, eCollectibles, eHUD, eSaveData, eGlobal, and so on...and inside those sheets I have groups to further organize things like specific player abilities, certain enemy AI, components of the HUD, types of save data, etc.

    Everything is compartmentalized and very easy to find this way. Only drawback is function references, for example, can be difficult because they span multiple sheets. Solid naming conventions and the search function help there though.

    I don't think there's any difference in using one or the other...ultimately everything is put onto a single 'sheet', no? If you're really worried about it Collodium's method is good practice. Could be a pain to manage some things though.

  • Glad to hear the game isn't canceled. There haven't been any updates in like a year! ***** it has to be remade for, like, the 4th time though.

    Also...yet another project that jumps far from CC/C2 when things start getting serious :T

  • Ashley recently said it's still a very long way off. Also there's A LOT of competition right now so it wouldn't be wise to reveal too much about it so early in development.

  • I think DK more or less uses "path tracing" for this - constantly writing player coordinates and such into an array and setting the cpu player to them with a delay.

    Kinda like this

  • "My project can end up going down the tubes."

    Always keep backups. C2 gives you more than enough options.

    Besides, you can always roll back to earlier versions by modifying the build version in the .caproj.

  • I don't think layers affect anything; it's what you put in them. No it's not a bug; the bottom-most layer has transparency disabled by default.

  • Y'know everyone's rambling about native exporters but do they have any idea what they're asking?

    A native Windows export would be great, sure, but it's 2015, man. You think that's going to cut it? Hell no.

    There's Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, PS4, PS Vita, XBone, WiiU, 3DS, and Browsers... And those are just the big platforms of today. What's going to be out there 5 years from now? Many of these platforms might even be obsolete by the time Scirra finished making exporters for them!

    Better yet, take a look at Unity's native exporters

    BLAM

    Most game engines couldn't compete with that if they wanted! Scirra included. So they stick with HTML5...and you can't say C2 isn't the best HTML5 game engine out there.
