  • You can do this with Chipmunk physics, but I don't know if this addon has been ported for C3.

    With standard Physics behavior you can probably use an invisible sprite with several frames, each with a different collision polygon. Add physics behavior and change frames when necessary. Pin your main sprite to it.

  • -160 is the same as 200 degrees.

    angle() expression returns negative values for angles between 180 and 360.

  • Try "For each" loop. 

    System: For each Buttons
 Mouse is over Buttons -> Buttons Set animation "On"
 Else -> Buttons Set animation "off"

    to insert images, upload an image, then use "img" tag: 

    [img=5432]

  • Try this:

    Turret set angle to clamp(angle(Turret.x, Turret.y, Touch.x, Touch.y), -160, -20)

  • Why don't you use gravity? With gravity it will look much more natural.

    This can also be done with Bullet behavior, it also has gravity setting.

    You can slow down or stop the ball when it collides with the floor. For example:

    Ball on collision with Floor -> Ball set Bullet speed to (Ball.Bullet.Speed/2)

  • You can make all these objects global, then when player selects a group of objects, destroy all other objects and change layout. Remaining objects will be transferred to the new layout.

    Alternatively, you need to save the list of selected objects in an array/dictionary and then re-create them in the new layout from the saved data.

    Read about families and containers, they may make the job much easier.

  • Save your table in CSV format, then use one of the online tools to convert it to JSON. Here is the first result from google.

    Then you'll need to manually modify JSON for Construct format. Here are a few examples:

    {"c2dictionary":true,"data":{"a":409,"b":473,"h":643,"f":313,"l":394}}

    {"c2array":true,"size":[4,1,1],"data":[[[73]],[[55]],[[76]],[[40]]]}

    .

    Note, that if you are going to load JSON directly from a string, you'll have to double all quotation marks: 

    MyArray load from JSON string "{""c2array"":true,""size"":[4,1,1],""data"":[[[73]],[[55]],[[76]],[[40]]]}"

  • There are a couple of plugins that you can probably use:

    construct.net/forum/extending-construct-2/work-in-progress-addons-30/plugin-jcw-trace-raycast-112436

    construct.net/forum/extending-construct-2/addons-29/behavior-rex-light-78888

    But I would stick to Bullet. If you make the collision polygon shape close to circle, it should bounce off corners pretty well. Add a rough, low-fps animation to it and you'll get what you want.

  • Your mistake is that you think X is the horizontal axis, but in 2D arrays it's vertical. So rows are X or Width, and columns are Y or Height.

    You need to update your code like this:

    Note that XValue should start with -1

  • You can save the ID and UID of the first door in local variables, then pick all doors, and then pick a door with same ID and a different UID. Something like this: 

    Player on collision with Door
 variable doorID=0
 variable sourceDoorUID=0
 
 -> Set doorID to Door.ID
 -> Set sourceDoorUID to Door.UID

 System Pick all Door

 Door compare variable ID=doorID
 Door pick by unique ID NOT equal to sourceDoorUID
 ----> Player set position to Door

  • You can set animation frame for each instance in the layout editor (on the left panel). No code is required.

    If you need to change frames during runtime, you can identify each instance by IID/UID as Maverick1912 suggested. Or add some instance variable, for example "Type". Then you can use an event like 

    System For each Sprite 
 Sprite.Type=1 -> set animation frame to 5
 Sprite.Type=2 -> set animation frame to 10

  • Your JSON data is intended for an array, so you need to load it into an array.

    Dictionary JSON should look like this:

    {"c2dictionary":true,"data":{"a":123,"b":456,"c":789}}
