  • Is it possible with C3? Some plugin?

  • Can you share a video this way too?

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • It already supports c3runtime for some time now.

    Does it really? I thought you still needed to switch to the Construct 2 runtime (in C3) for it to work?

    If this is true then this is a massive game changer for me and they should probably update the tutorial videos to show this.

    Can others confirm this? Thanks

  • Okay thanks. Presumably I would then need to have different button images for different languages etc. Is that the standard practice using Construct or is there a way to somehow use images but with separate (translat-able) text? ..or does the text object use CSS too?

    Apologies for my newb questions.

    Cheers

  • I want to move a CSS Button with text from outside the screen left to the middle of the frame.

    I understand the main ideas here but when I tween my CSS styled buttons into the frame its as if the text (of the button) is not actually attached to the button itself and the button. What is more, the button kind of scales inm from the left.. See the attached video..

    Is this even possible? Should I just be using images instead?

  • In the end I ticked 'Bundle Addons' and UNticked 'Use Worker'.

    I am new to this so I really don't know what exactly either of those do, but it is now working when testing on device via Facebook instant :)

  • I have my app set up and it runs fine when testing via desktop to the facebook link, but when I attempt to run the app through instant game on my device (android) it just sits at 0% loaded. I have tried exporting as minified/non minified but its all the same result.

    Note: I also set up my device as a test device with the device ID but this seemed to have no effect either.

    Hope someone can help

    Thanks!

  • Imagine a rocket with a thruster particle effect travelling up the screen (like a 2d top down shooter). As I move the rocket around the effect should be relative to the rocket , but instead the effect is relative to the screen so I see the effect overlapping the rocket as I move it down the screen.

    In Unity there is a local/world space for particles but I cant find anything in C3.

    Anyone know?

    Thanks

  • I have a Tilemap class. I have two instances of it at runtime. At a point in my game I want to change all the tiles in only one instance of the tilemap. How is that possible? Currently there seems only to be the option to refer to the class of the tilemap when setting the tiles (using set tile).

    Is it possible?

    Thanks

  • When I create a new tilemap in the editor there is 'tile width' and 'tile height' in the properties. But how can I access this value in script? (The width or height of each individual tile.)

    Thanks

  • Thanks for your feedback guys. In the end for my purpose I've just added a couple of lines of code on the creation process to manually move into position before the pinning takes place, but I will look at some of the other things you suggest (especially imagepoints which I never heard about).

    Many Thanks for your solutions, and lets hope this aspect of C3 will improve in the future.

    Personally I think if there was just a checkbox next to each object in a container which said 'Maintain Relative Position' and possibly more claririty on parent child relationships (like Unity) this would do.

    I also think that the 'Pin' behavior should have a 'Automatically Pin on Start Of Layout' checkbox so we didn't require separate actions for this all the time.

    Anyway. I will go cast my vote. Thanks

  • I'm trying to create a simple popup which moves into view when a function is called. (A standard game hint for example)

    The object comprises of a background 'panel' and two pieces of text; a title and the text body for the message.

    The panel is a 'container' which contains the text objects and in my layout I have arranged then with the Title at the top and the text centred etc so it looks nice.

    When I run my function to create the object I pin those text objects to the panel background with an event/action.

    However, when I run the game and create the object, both text objects appear in the center of the panel and the layout is lost. It seems that when creating a new object that is a container (using event:On Created) C3 centers every child of that container and ignores the placement that was originally created for the object in the layout view.

    How can I fix this? This method seems quite over complicated and unreliable.

    Thanks
