ive used construct classic for ages but haven't been using it to make games or anything for ages. anyway in construct 2 is there a text input plugin or something or some way i can set the text to be the user input.

any help would be appreciated :D

omg thanks so much. i saw that option but i didnt try it youve been a huge help

bump. sorry i just need help asap

im trying to make a sort of engine to make games like hammerfight. the thing with it is i need a line to have a fixed length. the only action for the always event is to set the line width not the height. is there some way i can set the height to stay the same.

there is a sprite attached to each end. one is a cursor that replaces the mouse, the other is a ball (the weapons) which i need to stay within a 200 or so pixel radius of the cursor. i was thinking if the line is fixed to the ball, and the lines length is fixed to about 200 then the ball wouldnt go past that. if oyu dont understand im willing to throw in the .cap file. http://www.mediafire.com/?2n2v50cubaw4fxh

if anyone has any ideas on how to do this OR an alternative way that i am too stupid as to see that would be great.

how the hell do you import the obj file properly i dunno how

does this fix the fact that some moving ojects fall through solid objects or is it just objects that randomly fly off screen?

LOL XD

ok good idea i might try it. it oculd be just a general bug carried over from construct itself.

alright thanks yeah i was using AVG but then i tried norton and it is HORRIBLE. worst antivirus. ill give that Security Essentials a go. thanks for that.

ok i know norton products are not the best, ok lets try the opposite of the best. but anyway does anyone know how to fix this: any game made in construct comes up as a virus and its a pain in the ass to have to turn it off just to test my games and play other peoples. does anyone know how to fix it so that my game doesnt come up as a virus. its so annoying. im guessing its just the way that the games are exported and coded to an .exe that norton finds lines of code that match up with other viruses and known malicious code but i really need help on this. you guys are super smart i know you can help XD

good point. theyre a bit like banelings arent they. well i dunno ive been making multiple .cap files with different concepts etc and im just trying to see which one ill go with. thanks for your feedback though its needed.
