Hi, I am a graphic designer and an animator.

I have been using Construct 2 for the past week or a bit less maybe. Very cool to say the least.

Hopefully will have something to show in the near future! See you around

I think you need to post either a screen with your code or share the capx file, otherwise people don't see where the problem lies.

Set Global Variable: Invincible = 0

After collision with enemy, set Invincible = 1

Wait 3 seconds (or how many second you wish for your player to be invincible)

Set Invincible = 0

If invincible = 1 then do not make dmg to player (you need to get this into the part of the code where player takes dmg)

--or--

If you have the part where: player collides with enemy event, add another event: Invincible =0

So it would be: if player collides with enemy and invincible =0 -----> player takes damage

Or you could use true/false instead of 1/0.

Hi, I have been working in Construct 2 for the past week and its really great. I am intending to buy a personal license in the upcoming month to test out, what Ive done on mobile phones.

I was wondering, if Construct 2 is capable of supporting 20 animated sprites (with a looping animation) at the same time on the screen, when exporting to a Samsung tablet or an Ipad, and still maintain a good FPS rate?

I will get to test this out surely anyway and will report back, just trying to get some opinions and test out the waters.

Now I know that it depends on the phone etc. but I was just curious overall. In the end I will cut down on the amount of sprites if I have to surely.

I have been already reading about exporting options and I am psyched to soon see something I have done, run on my mobile platform

Thanks and cheers.

Solomon - another way is to use a global variable:

On Start of Layout B --> set NextSpawnTime = Time + 5

then, instead of every 5 seconds:

System Compare two values ( Time >= NextSpawnTime ) --> spawn box, and set NextSpawnTime = Time + 5

The only thing to watch out for is if you pause the game (or open a settings menu, or display a message) - you would have to save the remaining wait time:

TimeToSpawn = NextSpawnTime - Time

then when you unpause, set NextSpawnTime = Time + TimeToSpawn

OH WOW! Thanks a lot for your time! Now I have to wrap my head around it

How much simpler would it be to have the ability just to toggle the "Every 5 seconds" condition to either start counting at beginning of game, or start counting at beginning of each layout?

Construct 2 is great don't get me wrong, but it is seemingly simple things like this that just put me off for a bit once in a blue moon.

Anyhow once I get this working by your example I'm sure this logic structure will come in handy in some other part of my game.

Once again thanks for your time

I see... interesting.

Basically, I want a box to spawn every 5 seconds after a layout is loaded.

I have a title screen on 1 layout, during which I don't want anything to happen. I have it set that by clicking on it the player goes to another layout, which upon entering, after every 5 seconds a box is spawned.

Edit: Only thing I cant set up is the part where the spawn timer starts only once the player enters the second layout.

So basically:

_____If Layout B is loaded

________Every 5 seconds spawn box

"Every X seconds" don't work as "per layout". It counts using the game time from the start.

Oh wow... Really? Thats a bummer... any other simple condition to wait until a layout is loaded? Could you please share any other tips on how I can solve this matter?

Thanks!

Solomon

do the layouts share the same event sheet?

there is an event "On Start of Layout"

I had a similar issue that I thought might be some kind of bug, but turned out it was an error in my code. So, I would think there is something you are doing that is causing this - and it is impossible to say what it is without seeing your code.

Hmm interesting... didn't know that layouts can share 1 event sheet. I am going to do some reading on this now.

Sorry what I mean I cant find an "If Start of Layout" event or how to implement it as such.

Thanks for the tips will do some more reading and if I dont manage to solve my problem will post a snippit of my code.

Create a global variable like Can_Sine. Use 0 for false and 1 for true.

Create 2 conditions:

Can_Sine = 1 > Box > Sine Active

Can_Sine = 0 > Box > Sine InActive

Box > On Collision with Object A > disable sine etc...

Box > On Collision with Floor > Set Can_Sine = 0

Thanks! Simple and elegant!

I ended up making sure that the objects arent colliding with object B, only the floor instead, but this will come in handy. Still getting used to the mechanics.

Hi,

I have a Main Title Screen Layout, and once clicked player goes to Layout 02.

At the beginning of Layout 02 I have a condition: "Every 5 seconds" - spawn a box.

Problem is, when I wait in the Main Title Screen Layout 5 seconds or more, and then click to go to Layout 02, the box is spawned already.

So it seems that the timer - the "Every 5 seconds" condition is counting when the player is still in the Main Title Screen Layout

How can this be? Am I doing it wrong? Is there another way to to make the "Every 5 seconds" condition work only after entering a layout?

Thanks for the help.

Edit: I tried to look for a condition: "On entering layout", but in the end couldn't find it.

"Thanks for your example, a lot to learn there" - mainly how not to do it ?

Haha, nah

Lot of nice mechanics going on there, always good to see something new to learn! So once again thanks!

Hi, I am having problems with sine behavior and object colliding. The object is not bouncing off an object upon collision but sliding down it because of the sine behavior.

I thought of an alternative but I'm having problems implementing it in code:

On collision with object A

......If not colliding with floor B

............disable sine

............wait 1 second

............enable sine

......Else

............disable sine

............do not enable sine after 1 second

Basically if the box with sine behavior collides with object A, in order to override the sine behavior I am turning it off for 1 second and then turning it back on.

But I'm having a problem, because when the object falls on the ground I want the sine behavior to stop, which works until the box hits object A then hits the floor straight after. This causes the sine to stop upon hitting object A, but then when it hits the floor it is already stopped, but after 1 second it turns on again.

I'm not sure how to cancel the action of turning it on after 1 second after it hits the floor.

Thanks for you help.

Cheers.
