I've always wanted to make a generator like this. So much fun.

Anyway, to attempt this, you need to have a really solid knowledge of what an array is. This tutorial is excellent:

Thanks, it is the tutorial I use to create the code in the above message. Unfortunately, there is a small problem with the 0,0 of my array.

I am unable to make it random. It's like if the line 4 in my code is overiding line 3.

Any help ?

Maybe if you could take a look at the code.

Cheers

Are the 2 codes conflicting ?

Alright, I manage to get something together.

Now my problem is in my code haha.

Here is the .capx : https://dl.dropbox.com/u/89646560/Walker.capx

It seems like my first tile is always selecting the 2nd frame of the sprite. It's like it is skipping para 3 in the code, and go directly to 4.

I want to solve this issue before creating the rest of the code.

Anyone have an idea to get me out of this ? lol

Thanks a bunch in advance !

Awesome thanks a bunch it works !!!

Why can't I find the place to change the version from R98 to R95.... I tried opening my .capx file with a text editor... a lot of symbols but no r98 :(

Hello everyone !

My name is Michael and I learned about Construct 2 through a friend.

Right now I am trying to reproduce a GTA 2-style game. With a randomly generated map..... running into a lot of problems haha.

Cheers !

Aridale,

I understand what you mean. My problem is I have a hard time putting my ideas in code because I am lacking the knowledge.

I think I was looking for a bit of code to get me started or give me a place to begin building from.

Thanks for the fast response.

Good day everyone,

I have read some tutorials on the website and some forum post. Unfortunately, I am teaching myself on most of the stuff.

I have an idea, but can't seem to find to proper to do it. I am still trying to wrap my head around the Array...

I want to do a game that on start it would generate a first random sprite (grass tile or on of the many street tiles).

Each of those would have a condition of what can be next to it.

ie: To create one street section I have 2 tiles of 128px each. So each side of the street is a tile.

I want to tell the array that is it has the right side (frame #) in XY it needs the left side next to it (frame #).

What I want to know:

1- How do I tell the array to choose a random sprite frame in XY

2- How to had conditions to that, so the map actually looks like a city.

3- I just need to be hint on what direction to take to make this happen.

Here is an example of the game. I placed the sprites manually (use WASD to move, hold Shift to sprint):

Here are the sprites I want to use (the street is 12 wide):

Hopefully you guys can point me in the right direction. All help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers !

Awesome thank you Ashley. Pixel rounding fixed it!

Good day all,

I just bought my license and creating my first game.

I was playing with sprites to create my roads and for some reason when I move they seem to not be aligned anymore.

You can clearly see in the white stripe in the street the small green line from the background. When I move my character back towards the edges of the screen it seems to correct itself.

Any fix ?

Thank you,

-Mike
