  • BluePhaze is 100% right on all counts and I should have said it too. Always search the tutorials section with words like "monetization" and "banner advertising". I posted what is probably the easiest way to get started. There's a lot of info and always something new. It's always best to research, then engage the issue directly, start trying it, and then start posting questions as you encounter problems. Good advice BluePhaze !

  • I see what you mean. Here's a solution too. For each straight line segment of the image, create an invisible sprite and draw(stretch) them along each line acting as invisible walls. The will be rectangular and only have 4 points. You can create image points if you need to and pin each one in position but, I don't think it will be necessary, you'll have to decide about that based on your specifics in the game. The just set the collisions property to disabled for the main image. Put all of the walls into Family for easy coding On Collision events. Then it works whether the player collides from inside or out.

    Might be a little easier too.

  • Are you using the mouse object and the touch object?

    Is it only happening in the arcade? Or does it also happen when you run it locally?

    If you want, you can PM me address to download and I'll take a look at it.

  • Take a look at this tutorial:

    https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/787/create-your-own-christmas-game

    I think it contains what you need.

  • It's best to use an (sprite) image that has the text and place it where you want it. Then,

    Sprite 1>On overlap > Sprite2 > Sprite2 >set visible

    then make an

    Sprite 1>On overlap > Sprite2 > (X) >Sprite2 > set invisible

    The (X) being inverted

  • Absolutely. There are many 3rd party leaderboards you can use. I suggest trying Clay.IO. Sign up at their website. They have a Plugin for Construct2 and instructions. It's pretty easy to implement.

    There is a tutorial posted here:

  • I realized how I labeled it was confusing. Added an example.

    I stopped other Music because I don't know what your actually using (what conditions) and if it's triggered or calling choose more than once, the value will change but, more the one music can be playing together.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads
  • You said in your post: "I have 5 songs. I play it randomly with choose("S1", "S2", etc.)"

    How are you changing or setting tee conditions now?

  • whether you use one event sheet or more, Global variables effect all layouts no matter what event sheet they are in. If I understand you correctly, create separate variables for different layouts and no it is not every tick.

    Just so you know;

    Using one event sheet, you could divide code into groups and disable and enable those groups based on the layout.

    You also don't have to use a separate event sheet for each layout but, rather use separate event sheets to govern different events.

    I still like to use one event sheet for each layout and put everything into a Master Group on each event sheet and disable those groups on the start of layout of the current layout and enable the Master Group of the current layout.

    You just have to keep the On Start of layout out of the Master Groups of each sheet.

    Hope you can follow that.

  • Create a Global variable with text value called Song then,

    choose("Song1", "Song2", etc.)

    System > Song =1> Audio >Play Music1

    -------------------------> Audio >Stop Music2

    -------------------------> Audio >Stop Music3

    System > Song =2> Audio >Play Music2

    -------------------------> Audio >Stop Music1

    -------------------------> Audio >Stop Music3

    System > Song =2> Audio >Play Music3

    -------------------------> Audio >Stop Music1

    -------------------------> Audio >Stop Music2

    System > Song =1

    On touched P1 > Go to layout X

  • On every tick? I could be wrong but, that sounds like performance issue that would kill your game. Is the number constantly changing or is it an additional number be added? And if so, up to how many numbers?

  • Yes if your using it for the above example that I outlined. It's better to make them invisible. You can keep them Off screen and use set position to move it to X and Y coordinates you want and the back Off screen again.
