  • I have created a bullet that is outside of my layout so that I can dynamically create it when necessary. When the bullet's lifetime expires, it explodes, creating a small particle effect.

    Everything works great, except that when my game first starts, the one bullet that resides on my layout that isn't created still runs through it's events and explodes, giving me a particle effect that starts off the screen.

    How can I prevent these objects from running their behaviors?

  • I am a web developer just learning how to use Construct 2. One thing I am exploring right now is dealing with XML data.I am working with this NFL game data just as something that's already generated. As you can see, it only uses nodes and attributes, there is no text values for the nodes.

    (EDIT - it seems it won't let me post the URL to the XML feed -

    nfl DOT com/liveupdate/scorestrip/ss.xml

    )

    Now I would like to be able to load one of the <g> nodes based on attribute.

    It seems based on some sparse info I have found, that I should be able to use:

    MyXML.StringValue("/ss/gms/g[@eid=' & SOME_ID & ']/node()")[/code:223tt4c6]
    
    However, this does not give me anything. How can I just get a node value based on an attribute?
