Nwjs is uses the Chrome framework, so it's like having a browser included with your game.

The lightest method for Windows desktop would be Windows 10 universal apps which you can sideload.

This method exports the game for windows with a folder with a launcher? Like nwjs but without the browser included?

Or just the normal HTML5 export, which has virtually no overhead at all.

Wow this really makes it lighter. But how about a way to make it lighter and keep it a regular folder with a launcher? In a way that people download and play instead of loading from their browsers.

Hello everyone. Thank you for clicking on my post

I have a problem with exportation in construct 2. All my games exported with Nw.js for Windows are heavier than 100 mb! A friend and I are making games every week (we have just started) and every game we made so far, as simple as they are, are heavier than they should be.

One thing that I've noticed is that even the game in its prototype version (without the art and polishing) is heavy, and this way I can't tell what makes it weight like this. If it was something that I added I'd know, but it's definetely something about the engine that I'm missing.

I will be providing a capx file alongside with the exported win64 folder of one of our games. You don't have to check them out if you don't want to, but please give me some tips on making the game lighter and, if you check the game files, what could I possibly be doing to such a simple game be weighting over 100 mb?

Thank you in advance (I will thank you again if you comment, don't worry )

Hello guys!

I'm making a game for Ludum Dare and I'm having trouble!

I have a main object, a Mirror, that has 3 instances on the screen. I want to pin one "collider" object on each one of the mirror instances.

The blue objects are the mirrors, I want the purple objects (the colliders) to pin on each one of them.

This is the code. I've tried lots of ways, but none worked. I tried to pick all instances and attach them, but what happens is that all the purple colliders pin to the first mirror, and the rest of the mirrors have no collider. Don't mind the instance variables, they don't seem to work.

I know that this is very specific, but I really appreciate your reading and I hope you can help me.

Thanks!

I would just use the set player vector.x (- or +) the amount you want to push the player.

I would use 'on collision' so it only triggers once, or the way you have it may work.

Yes, my system actually works. I tried with set player vector x, but it does the same effect, the player is just teleported, he doesn't slide that way. Thanks for the response, I'll start usin the On Collision thingy, I actually didn't know the difference between that and overlapping, but now I know

You can make him "slide" how you want if you move him using something like this:

on collision with enemy -> set X position to lerp(current.x,current.x+10,1-0.2^dt) (or do -10 for the opposite way)

Oh Thank you. I have finished my project already, I have to deliver it on Saturday, but I'll start using this code on my future projects with Construct 2. Thank you very much

Wow, thank you for the hint. That makes a lot of sense.

What action should I use to make the character go backwards? An action that wouldn't just set his position

Hello everybody.

I'm reeeeally new to Construct 2 and I'm producing a platformer like Megaman using free internet stuff.

So, I want to know how do I make the character go back a little when an enemy hits him (just like in Megaman). I managed to do it in a way, but it's not as dynamic as I want.

This is the system I created. When the character (Jogador, I'm brazillian so it's all in portuguese) is overlapping at offset +1 pixel or -1 pixel he moves to opposite sides. But he just moves, he suddenly moves to the side, he doesn't "slide" dynamically to it.

So, to be clear, I would love if someone could help me making a system in which the character, when hitting an enemy, do a little jump to the opposite side and stay in place for some miliseconds. Thank you

This is the capx file. All the variables and objects are in Portuguese and the version is r229
