I couldn't understand much but if i understood correctly all you need is instead of using

System >every tick use

System > every X seconds and set X to 1

Hey guys,

I'm making a game similar to "Space Blaster" demo where an enemy fires a sprite towards the players X,Y co-ordinates. The only difference i am not firing a spherical object but a sort of laser, thus when it flies towards the user its angle is always different which doesn't make it realistic. I need it to spawn with the correct angle facing the user where ever he is and fly at him.

I tried changing the angle and all but no luck, i think its a math problem were i'm hopeless.

Here is a sample .capx file explaining better the problem

Thanks PixelAmp that's exactly what i needed, i thought that by creating a variable inside the ghost object would be enough; didn't know i needed a global variable for this.

Thanks for your help

Hey guys im Nathanael

just got construct 2 and it looks great. Popped by to say hello to all. Im a student studying programming and was always interested in game development

I still need to learn a lot of stuff but i'm sure i'll make a nice game soon.

Well i guess that's about it.

Should have sent you an email

both options are great for me, so choose which option is easiest for you.

i would like to have a sprite (lets call it 'monster') spawn every 30 seconds but not letting the same sprite spawn again until it is destroyed. Now monster has a Boolean which is set to true.

In the event sheet i create the monster every 30 seconds and check if the Boolean is true. once it spawns i set the variable to false but the only problem is another monster is still created.

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks, found my answer

I have an object and with every tick i make it move forward by 1 pixel. Once it reaches a certain point i would like to make it move back by 1 pixel and again forward. How would i do this?

Thanks problem solved

Im still very new to construct and would like to know how to change the default shift key (jump) to space bar?
