Hi all,

I want to create a Function that can be applied to different objects whenever it is called.

For instance, in pseudo code, here's something simple I can't seem to accomplish with Construct 2. First I would create a Condition->Action to call a Function using a specific object as a parameter:

On Mouse Clicked Object

\--> call Function "MyResizingFunction" (Mouse.clickedobject.UID)

The Function would be something on the lines of:

On [MyResizingFunction]

|--> System.PickObjectByUID(Param0)

\--> PickedObject.setsize = PickedObject.size*2

---------------

So, I hope I explained it simply enough. Basically I want to click on any random object (Sprite) and have that object double size each time it is clicked on.

I was excited about the possibility of using Functions, but after trying some stuff, I can't really say I get the point, if I can't apply Functions to different objects (Sprites).

Please share any thoughts on this.

Thank you very much!!

Hi,

I noticed you guys are currently fiddling with the Image Editor. And that is really awesome.

I have a small suggestion, please let us use keys (up/down/left/right) to move collision polygon points with a pixel-by-pixel precision? Similar to what is already available when editing / moving the Origin and Image Points.

Thanks!!

Very interesting, great trying out variations on the fly.

Yes it does make sense, I guess the angle is based on current speed vector or something like that?

If that is the case, maybe you could set a "ghost" angle based on an always-on zero angle fake speed vector?

Hi,

I created a maze-like setup while Rings with Bullet behaviour are supposed to run around randomly.

To handle the collisions with Walls, whenever a Ring collides with a Wall object, I ask it to set Bullet Speed to 0, then back a pixel (so it is not colliding with Wall anymore), then add a value to its current Bullet.AngleOfMotion. This added angle is a random of +90, -90, 180.

Then I set the Bullet Speed back to normal speed.

What I believe to be a bug is: If I leave things in the order described above, the Rings only go left and right and left and right whenever colliding with walls.

If I invert the order of the Bullet Behaviour actions, it works properly. I mean, it works properly if, after setting Speed to 0 and snapping the Ring back a pixel further from the wall, I set the Bullet Speed to normal speed and THEN ask the Bullet Angle to be added a random angle.

Then, the Rings correctly choose random angles and go up/down/left/right randomly when colliding with Walls.

Pode, here are the links for both the exported project, and the CAPX:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/17328032/Temp/index.html
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/17328032/Temp/iFrame_plus_larger_image.capx

As I said, if I upload and run the exported project online, the image gets 100% size, no downscaling. Unfortunately I need the downscaling.. and it does behave as desired in Preview mode.

Thank you for your very nice work!!

Hi Pode (or anyone else),

I am trying to use your iFrame plugin, but can't quite make it work right. I have a couple of problems. Please help?

1- I have a game that is sized 470x600

2- Inside it, I created a 460x306 iFrame

3- On the iFrame's properties I set:

URL: saferplace.org/img/fotos01/01.jpg

Style: game.css

(I put the game.css file in the same folder as index.html)

I need the iFrame to display the URL image downsized so it fits.

I can't resize the original image manually, as I plan on having the iFrame display different sized images, some bigger than the iFrame, some smaller. The smaller ones should not upscale but remain their original size.

When I run the game in preview mode, the example image properly downsizes. Also, smaller images behave correctly (no upscaling). But if I run the game from a web server, the image is undesirably scaled 100% original size and I get scroll bars.

So my first problem is: how to make the big images downscale to fit (and keep aspect) when running the game online.

The game.css I created reads:

iframe img{width:100%; height:auto; max-width:460px; max-height:306px; margin:0 auto; text-align:center;}

iframe {border:0; border:none; overflow:hidden;}

But I think the iFrame is not using the CSS at all.

So my second problem is, how to properly utilize the CSS?

You can check the test version here:

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you very much

nihakue ramones Ashley SOLVED!! <img src="smileys/smiley4.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

I finally found out what my problem was (and possibly nihakue's).

My Windows audio speakers were set as 5.1.

I could only listen to a couple of channels through my headphones. I thought Windows would down-mix the 5.1 channels to stereo, but it won't.

Funny thing is, I could watch youtube videos, listen to Winamp MP3s, even play some games and never noticed a problem.

My guess is these programs downmix 5.1 to stereo themselves.

I played my Skeletor in Space game and nihakue's example .capx and sound worked on all browsers tested: Iron, Chrome, Firefox, IE9.

NOTE that another problem was indeed the MIME types on my server as pointed out by ramones; only the game hosted on Dropbox works properly.

A couple of important observations though:

Firefox performance took a serious hit on Skeletor in Space, I get a lot of slowdowns/speedups now that audio works.
In IE9, game was silent for a few seconds but then audio played properly. I guess this is caused by preloading a lot of audio, as stated on the Construct 2 manual.

Now that I finally solved a mystery, can I get a discount on a license pls?

gamekill I'm sure your problem is got to do with mime types. Your server isn't setup for ogg files.

No, it's something else.

I just checked again at home, and all sound effects + background ambiance play fine on my Chrome browser. I cleared the cache and forced the entire game to re-download. Audio is perfect.

At work earlier today I tried the same thing, Win7 also, newest Chrome also. No sound, only ambiance.

I also asked my brother to try the game out at his workplace (he uses a Mac) and he got no audio whatsoever (I didn't ask the browser but still).

This is puzzling..

I beat the game! Hooray. My score 83700 ^^. Not very high but still I'm proud of it. Cool game. Very original. I mean, I don't know where you get the idea of doing a skeleton as the player character but really congrats man. I love that kind of games with a great originality. Good job!

Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it!!

Comments like these really mean a lot to me.

Keep me motivated I guess!
