  • When I assign a '-' value to Y, the character dies when it touches the underside of the platform.

    Then add another condition, checking that the character is above the platform. Character.Y<Platform.BBoxTop

    You can also place an invisible sprite with a smaller polygon size inside the platform and use it for collision checks.

  • Use "Overlapping at offset" condition. X:0, Y:-2

    I also suggest changing your events like this:

  • Or change layer interactivity setting.

  • Try setting parallax to 0 in layer properties.

  • When any button is pressed, append it to a string variable. Then check if this string ends with a specific sequence of characters. 

    + Keyboard: On any key pressed
 Set keySequence to keySequence& to Keyboard.StringFromKeyCode(Keyboard.LastKeyCode)


	if right(keySequence, 4)="1234" ... do something

	if right(keySequence, 5)="IDDQD" ... do something else

  • Background1 needs to be above Background2. Or you'll need another copy of Background1 above Background2, on the same layer as the white mask.

    And the green ring needs to be a separate sprite.

  • Array.CurX/CurY expressions only work inside of "Array for each element" loop. You probably need to use X:player.playerX, Y:player.playerY in "Set at XYZ action".

  • how I can make the player's direction value loop from 0 to 3

    You mean after 3 it should become 0 again? You can do this in one expression: 

    Set direction to (direction+1)%4

    or 

    Set direction to (direction=3 ? 0 : (direction+1))

  • Pathfinding behavior only works inside the layout bounds, so you need to make the layout bigger. There are a few other issues as well:

  • No worries! Glad everything is working!

  • No, that's not possible as far as I know.

    The most common solution is to change scaling mode to "Scale outer" and make the UI adjustable (say, using Anchor behavior).

  • My other question here is do I need to create a text object for every separate line? And how do I make it so you can scroll through entries that go off the page?

    Here is a simplified explanation:

    1. Iterate the records in the array. Since they are stored on Y axis, you will need to use a system loop: 

    System for "y" from 0 to Array.Height-1
Array compare value at (2,loopindex)="delivered"

    2. For each chat message create a new Text object. Set its text to Array.at(1,loopindex)

    3. Resize the text object to its content - use Text.TextHeight expression

    4. Place each new text below the previous text.

    5. Attach all texts to a scrollable panel.

    6. Use a mask or blend modes to hide the top and bottom portions of the chat when scrolling.

    This will be difficult to make from scratch without any Construct knowledge. Here are some example projects which may be useful:
