It was just unshown.

It's working ok now, thanks to plinkie

The boss just keeps going to the right.

Any ideas?

I could do events for enemy AIs I guess... but I'm best suited to QA, finding bugs but also finding out where they went wrong in C2 as a result. If it gets to a point where you need someone with knowledge of C2 to test the game but also help debug and find the cause in C2 then let me know. The game sounds interesting!

I sent you a PM

— we have a pretty tight schedule because I need to finish this game soon, because another one is starting in August. So all help is welcomed. You could probably do some of the enemy AI's or designs depending on what you do? Maybe even design a part of the map as it's not fully designed yet. QA is also welcomed.

Hi,

We have a team of 8 working on a metroidvania game. Specifically I'm looking for another member who knows Construct 2 besides me as the art and music side are well handled. If you're interested email me at joubqa@gmail.com.

The game is mostly done but we still need to finish the map, a couple mechanics and create a few more enemies.

Here is the current feature list of the game engine:

We would be making the game without pay for now. If we feel like it could become something of commercial quality we can start thinking about release and profit sharing.

Thanks for the replies guys! I've been traveling but I can try this tomorrow.

edit: I tried this but the boss is just stuck in place in the dash animation... (I set it at speed 5, loop Yes, count 3, repeat to 0, ping pong No. It has 2 frames)

edit: actually the boss immediately dashes to the right (and then gets stuck there on an obstacle). I have no idea

I'm trying to make a boss that moves around left and right and every once in a while dashes at the player. also the back would be the only weak spot.

this is what I have now and it's just not working very well... he stays in the dash animation (it's set to not looping and repeat once, 2 frames, speed 5). he doesn't always face the right direction either. no idea how to do the weak spot yet. And I guess I should so something where it checks if it's X is bigger or smaller than Player.X and then charge toward the player?

So something like this: https://youtu.be/0bKBnyDcipU?t=232

I'm also thinking having the boss crash into walls and rocks droppping from the ceiling then but I'm trying to get this basic behavior down first

JouBqa Yeah that's one downside to having the rooms right next to each other and on the same layout. "Is not on-screen" is probably killing the player in the beginning because it doesn't exist on the first tick - it has to be created at the position of the Player_Spawn object first. So to use that you would have to check if it exists first.

I just can't get the "is not on-screen" to work. player just dies when starting the game. I tried checking if player mask, base or spawn are on Player layer first. I tried giving player mask a "created" boolean and setting it in eMain and checking if it's true in ePlayer before killing.

and the Player_Base Y > RoomZone.BBoxBottom thing is not good because you can't jump to a room below

> Why is GameRooms layout size 10,10? I want to have bullets destroy when they leave the layout (so the player can also shoot 3 bullets at a time) so 10, 10 wont do as they would destroy instantly. Should I just change the layout size to the size of game map?

> edit: Destroying Projectile when its not on-screen instead of when it's not on layout worked for the bullet limit

> he layout is 10,10 because I have "Unbounded Scrolling" enabled, making the layout size irrelevant. You will have to check if objects are off-screen instead of outside the layout like you said, though.

Kind of having a problem with this. I want the player to die when he falls into a hole. But can't use "outside layout" because of this and "is not on-screen" kills the player instantly when the game starts...?

EDIT: Player_Base Y > RoomZone.BBoxBottom seems to work. Though the death explosion animation doesnt work right then
