SpriteFont just maps keys to a grid position in the PNG file. Just add some extra characters that you won't use and edit those characters in the PNG to change the graphic to something else (left-arrow...). Since you are mapping keyboard-keys, presumably you are mapping capital letters, so you could use lowercase letters to map to your special keys.

But to display the letter I use 'Keyboard.StringFromKeyCode(key)', and they keycode of the bound key will not correspond with the 'Left arrow', for example. Am I right?

Hi,

I am working in the key binding menu and I use a custom sprite font to display the actual bound keys. My question is:

Is there a way to put keys like 'left arrow', 'right arrow', 'space bar' etc in the character set?

ok, got it, without changing the layer. Thanks man

I don't know how to use it.

What I do first? Move the object to the new layer and then repositionate it?

Hi,

I have some objects created in the UI layer (no parallax), and I want to move them to another layer preserving the "relative " position. I mean, i nthe UI layer one object can be at 100, 100 (UI layer) but in the real world is 1024, 345. How do I convert the UI position to world position to positionate that objects correctly when I move them to a new layer.

Thanks.

Finally I did it with an array.

A bidimensional array in which I save in the 0 index the room UID and the subsquent index the IID of the enemy spawners when I kill the enemy that belongs to that spawner.

So if I go back to that room, and the IID of the spawner is in the array, it does not spawn anything

Hi guys,

I have a problem, and maybe u can help me. I have a room generation system in which I assign a layout to a room. Same layout can be assigned to many rooms. At the start of each layout, I spawn the enemies through spawners placed in the layout. So now, what I want to do is to not spawn the enemies I have killed, and spawn the enemies that were not killed. I can do this with the persist behaviour, but I as I said, I use the same layout for different rooms, so the enemies from the room 1 are not the same than the room 5.

If someone knows a workaround for this, I would appreciate it, thank you.

and there is a way to show a capx without showing it to all the forum???

Problem Description

When I export the game, it does not work, and also if I go back to Construct and use the preview mode, it also does not work and an error appears

Attach a Capx

I can't because it is a professional project, so I don't know how to handle this part

Description of Capx

____ Concise description of what this CapX does ____

Steps to Reproduce Bug

• Everything works fine, the preview mode in all browsers works fine, everything cool
• Export the game to NW.js, it exports it right
• Open Win64 version and the screen stands black
• Go back to Cosntruct to the First layout
• Open the layout in preview mode
• The error appears

Observed Result

This error appears:

Expected Result

I expect the game works fine

Affected Browsers

• Chrome:YES
• FireFox: YES
• Internet Explorer: YES

Operating System and Service Pack

windows 10 Pro 64 bits

Construct 2 Version ID

r239 64 bits

Edit:

Seems to be something relative to container objects that are already placed in the layout. I dont know more. What I did is create a new layout empty, and from there load the must "first" layout of the game. It is just a workaround, not a solution.

Yeah, thank you very much

TiledBackground

ok, but now I can only change its size from up to down, no matter where the hotspot is. If I want to make the sprite larger from bottom to top the image is also displaced

Hello, I want to make custom progress bars, with custom shapes, so one can overlap each other and whatever. The thing I want to do is to show a percent of an sprite. Not change its width or height, that distorts the sprite. I want a way to render a percentage of a sprite. I do not know if there is any way to do it with construct behaviours and functions, or there is a plugin or something.

Hope you can help me, thanks in advance
