dsarchy thanks alot! That's actually what I had in mind, though my initial test gave me some weird problems.

I solved this issue with another test on Construct Classic, as I am more familiar with it. For anyone that is interested, I have upload the cap file here.

Note: Done Using Construct Classic. Can't open with Construct2.

Animation Ease In/Out

Try putting a "Else" condition on your second condition. I managed to get it to work. Hope this helps.

Hi guys,

I am trying to make a animation blending system where the legs of the robot I am animating will stop at a specific frames (14 and 29) where both the feets are touching the ground.

I have set it up so that if the animation is playing, as long as the animation frame is not 14 or 29, a loop will loop through the animationframe and play the animation until it stops at 14/29.

When the robot walks again then, it will continue from the previous frame (again 14 or 29).

For some reason however it seems like I am facing an issue with the blending. The frame will stop at the nearest frame, but it will just stop abruptly instead of easing in.

I hope I am making some sense?

If anyone is willing, here's the Capx for you to dissect the errors I made.

Thanks alot for your time and I appreciate any insight for this.

Edit:

I have uploaded into Arcade for those who want to test.

Thanks for the suggestion, scidave! I hope you can work on this again sometime in the near future, it's truly a brilliant plugin. I tried Podsixnet could not get it to work at all no matter how I want to.

I will looking into the Pixel People source as you've suggested :D

Keep up the good work. Can't work for the new version :D

Hi guys, just a bump for help on this matter.

I also noticed that someone is developing a network plugin for C2. Seems like a good choice to migrate, as it seems Scidave is busy lately.

C2 Multiplayer

I am still new to this, but after studying some of the great examples provided here, it seems that a separate event sheet would make things easier to import later, especially for bigger games. Like you can have a very complex animation blending system for the main character and if you have put it into one big event sheet, it will get messy. If it had been separated, all you got to do is import it in the layout.

Make's creating new 'level' much easier too. Just do import all the event sheets that you need and start playing with the level's design.

This is just based on my limited knowledge. Perhaps someone more experienced could provide more light on this.

Hi there guys,

I am currently learning to make a side scrolling multiplayer shooter with Construct, and I found the great plugin by scidave

I was making progress with it, and managed to replicate it and make a chat program on local and also a test with two players controlling a cube each (nothing fun yet).

The first version I made was to avoid the way scidave coded as I want to leave the code as future friendly as possible (the game will have 2 players, but looking to support up to 6 players).

The first versions basically have two Avatars both with 8 direction behavior and depending on the pNumber assigned by the server, pNumber1 will control the redbox and ignore bluebox's control, and vice versa with pNumber2. It works fine and all, but I noticed that even on local testing, there's a slight lag on both players.

The next version was done by a friend where he follow's scidave example, and surprisingly his version played much smoother. The only problem with this version is the that players, regardless of pNumber1 or pNumber2, will always be the redCube while the 'enemy' will always be blueCube. I hope this is not too confusing.

My question is that which method is better? I really liked scidave's method, for it seems to make the lag disappear almost entirely. Is there any other alternative that will be better to code for a multiplayer action game?

Here's the two cap files for both versions, in case you guys would like to see the mess I made :D. I appreciate any help or insight on this.

Version1

Scidave style

Cheers!

Edit

Sorry, I noticed I made an error on the link for the first one. It's fixed now.

Briefly gave the UI.exe a run and so far everything seems very stable. Did not crash in the brief moment I played with it. The only thing that seems to happen is after there's a new UI, left clicking will keep creating the same options in the UI, I guess that's normal?

Looking forward to the update!

Hey Lucid, is the commercial version found at brashmonkey.com compatiable with this plugin for Construct Classic.

Hi guys, my name's Tommy.I am a 3D artist by trade but I wanted to learn to make games, and I found Construct! So....yeah still learning. <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

I am facing the same issue as Firelight.I could get the cap working by following your instruction, but editing the animation is difficult. So far I could successfully crash the editor everytime by trying to slide the timeline bar.

Creating a new project does makes the editor better, but if I tried to pull the timeline again after a while, it crashes.

Otherwise, a fantastic tool!
