  • Add two variables CellX, CellY. 

    On every tick
If CellX not equal Tilemap.SnapX(Mouse.x)
OR CellY not equal Tilemap.SnapY(Mouse.Y) 
	-> Set CellX to Tilemap.SnapX(Mouse.x)
	-> Set CellY to Tilemap.SnapY(Mouse.y)
	-> ... other actions

  • Use Debug Mode (Ctrl-F4, Ctrl-F5) to see what's causing performance loss. You can see how much memory images are using, how many collision checks are made every tick etc. Profile tab shows which event groups are most CPU-intensive.

    For example, on my laptop "Level Building" group was using 17% CPU. After I changed event 35 from running on every tick to On Start of Layout, it dropped to 0%!

    .

    Also, search this forum and tutorials for performance tips, there have been several posts with lots of useful info.

  • It depends on what you are trying to do. If you want to make an effect of something smashing into pieces, you can add a sprite with say 20 frames, representing different pieces. And then create 10 instances of this sprite with random frames.

  • felipenune Use Array.AsJSON expression.

  • Yes they are. On page 48

    May I add that Construct is a really poor choice for this task. I suggest doing this in MS Access or Excel or something similar.

  • You can't invert collision polygon. Use invisible solid sprites or tiledbackgrounds to build a border around your island. Or a tilemap with solid behavior.

  • You can use lerp and unlerp functions. For example:

    Set bullet scale to lerp(1, 0.5, distance(bullet.x, bullet.y, player.x, player.y)/600)

    At 300px from the player bullet scale will be 0.75, at 600px the scale will be 0.5

    .

    Or another example with unlerp and based on Y coordinate:

    Set bullet scale to unlerp(-100, 500, bullet.y)

    As the bullet is traveling from y=500 to y=-100, its scale change from 1 to 0.

    .

    Or simply use Sine/Tween behavior to change bullet size over time.

  • You can write multiple JSON strings to a file, separated with newline (or any other custom character or tag).

    Then parse them with tokenat(), for example tokenat(filecontent, 2, newline) is the line number 3.

    Or you can read them in a loop: 

    Repeat tokencount(filecontent, newline)-1
	Create sprite
	Sprite load from JSON tokenat(filecontent, loopindex, newline)
