Dop2000 I don't know why that didn't work. That was kinda how I was thinking. Thank you.

Clickfusion thank you so much! It works perfect!

Hello,

I would like for my character to jump upon landing or very shortly after landing if the human player pushes and holds down the jump key but not releasing and having to press again. Can you help please? I have tried disable platform on landing and simulate control of jump if up arrow key is pressed down but cannot get it that way or even with system wait after landing and up arrow pressed down.

I would really appreciate it,

Jeremy

Is there an updated version of the typewriter effect? When I download it from the link and try to open it, it doesn't work.

I would like to give you some ideas. Can you specify game genre and also which platform it will be played on?

These are really great suggestions! Thank you very much.

Great suggestions TL22! I will keep these in mind.

Is anyone planning to design their own sound for their game? If so, what are you using or wanting to use?

I found some music makers and programs like GuitarTux, or synthesizers, beat makers, but still not satisfied. Please let me know what you think. Creating a soundtrack for a game would be awesome!

Thanks PixelMonkey. Z seems really hard if your firing fast, and if jumping with w. I was totally excited when I found out 360 and ps3 controllers work on PC. I think the keyboard would be great for complex computer games, but not so much for platformers. I heard Super Meat Boy is ridiculous on keyboard.

Thanks Blight. Great idea, I will test this out first then find out if I construct supports 360 or ps3 controller or something. Does anyone know about using game controllers on construct?

Thanks for the advice! Keeping it simple is best, especially that it is my first game.

I posted the comment during work so I wasn't able to do a lot of searching and now I did find that you can use a xbox, ps3 controller for PC games...not sure how that works with construct however I still don't know what keys most games use. I know about WASD for moving but don't like the idea of that in combination with mouse. How about ctrl to fire? Is that used often?

I think back to my Super Mario days and love how you can walk, run, jump, fire, and duck/slide all with a D-pad and a and b button. This seems so hard for keyboard, why? What am I missing?

Hey,

I'm currently planning for my pre-planning phase for a platform game and I need help with assigning controls with the keyboard.

so far I have thought for the player:

run left= left arrow, also a key

run right= right arrow, also d key

jump=spacebar

duck/slide =down arrow, also s key

block =up, also w key

Not sure about throw/shoot

not sure about action button

Im really not sure if block and jump should be as listed.

Ive played a few games on pc mostly for construct and I want what generally works for Mario, Megaman, castlevyania, Braid, or super meatboy.

Thank you Ashley! I can't believe I couldn't find it, it was hiding behind the image editor.
