    You must follow the Bug Reporting Requirements, as Ashley is constantly stating, or this bug report will not be investigated.

    The requirements state that a minimal .capx is required with steps in order to recreate. Your whole project is actively discouraged from being submitted.

    As it involves exporting, a small recreation should be possible.

    You should also state what version of NW.js you are using.

  • Event sheets do reference other 'Included' Event sheets, but I haven't really found this an issue.

    Imagine you just used one single Event sheet instead. When run, C2 would read each Event (condition -> Action) sequentially. Using multiple Event sheets is just the same thing in my head. When I include an Event sheet, I just visualize that whole block of code pasted into the main Even sheet. Because all the individual Event sheets have specific tasks, there's no overlap, but there is cross-referencing.

    I do come from a programming background, so maybe that helps, as I can usually see in my head how I want something to happen, then I try to code it.

    It's difficult to know what to say to you - this method works for me and many others, but it's possible that it's not for everyone.

    When I first started this Manic Miner remake, I did do it all on one Event sheet, but quickly realized I was getting lost in the code. I took the decision to split the code and use Includes, which helped me greatly.

    Last thought - when it boils down to it, it's best just to do whatever you are comfortable with. Maybe try a few prototyping exercises that do/do not use Includes and see what you prefer.

  • Hi -

    I have an issue where when I open a layout in the editor, it opens and renders fine. As soon as I click anywhere in the layout, the entire window turns completely black. Once it turns black, nothing renders at all, nor can I interact with anything. Running the game works fine... but obviously I can't make any meaningful changes. This is on r216.

    Before I whack the project down and try to winnow it to a postable capx, has anyone seen this before?

    It's showing as 16.6mb memory usage, so I don't think that's it...?

    Thanks,

    -Will

    Is this happening with every project?

    If you opened one of the built-in examples, does it also happen?

    If yes, then most likely is GPU drivers.

    If it is only affecting one of your own projects, then we would need more info, and more than likely a .capx to test.

  • ..how do you order your event sheets so that everything runs smoothly?

    Here is a screenshot of the main Event sheet from a Manic Miner recreation I did:

    Since I'm the one writing the code, there is no difference to the way I think about the way I want it to run. The difference is I've just split the different parts into there own Event sheets, which enables me to have more flexability and freedom to try new things.

    • Post link icon

    Can I just ask if all you guys reporting the ghost processes are using the Steam version?

  • what the title said, Im making a game for ng's pixel day and I only have a free license, can I still upload the game if I dont make money?

    Yes.

    As long as no revenue - which includes ads in your game, which isn't allowed in the free version - is forthcoming then you can upload games made with the free version.

  • i seriously need help with this issue !!!

    You know better than to bump after only an hour. Especially as it;s the exact same question you asked in various ways last October.

    Please have a little patience.

  • Hmm. So the advice about funneling all event sheets into one main event sheet was bad advice? What should I do? I have half a dozen event sheets now, and will have more.

    I wouldn't cosider this a bad practice - it's something I always do.

    I hace separate Event sheets for such things a Globals, Animations, Collisions, Player movement, etc. This allows me to include whatever Event sheet I need and to also implement variations that can be quickly tested without have to rewrite full Event sheets.

  • Hi everyone,

    I am pretty new to creating beat em ups so i decided to purchase Danuyos platformer/beat em up template, I copied the template(because I am trying to learn it) but I am facing a few issues such as enemy characters automatically moving to the right while in the idle animation and once they move past you they will stay on the left side of the screen until you approach them.

    Has anyone come across this problem?

    Please don't multipost the same question, especially when it involves bumping a thread nearly 4 years old.

    Regarding your question - it's almost ipossible to offer any realistic help without you posting better information and preferably a .capx.

    You can bypass the posting restrictions by just adding extra characters in the URL, for instance:

    htt*p://*www.mysite.com/mygame.capx

    Hi i was wondering if anyone knows why enemy characters would automatically move to the left on a beat em up game, the enemy itself is in his idle animation but he moves forward towards the player attacking him when in range but walking past him before turning round but getting stuck at the side of the screen!

    I would post a capx file but the forum is not letting me as I dont have enough rep points.

    Thanks in advance

    Please don't bump a thread that is nearly 4 yearls old with the same question you have already asked in a different thread.

    Have a little patience - users are from many different time zones so a response can take a while.

  • I FIGURED IT OUT!!!

    lines 39-47 were outside of subevents, I was approaching them as subsequent events when they needed to be nestled in there. That turned out to be more straightforward than expected.

    Only just got a chance to get back to check this and glad to hear you've already worked it out

  • You can freely ask whatever you wish. If users think 'you are trying it on', they will usually let the person know

    What we all like to see is a new user make an effort before asking for help, which you obviously have.

    BTW - it sounds like you are creating a version of Spore, which is quite an undertaking for a new user.

    Maybe showing us the Events that do the picking and creating would be helpful. Obviously, a .capx would be the best option, but it's understandable if you don't wish to give your work away.
