And a second one

upd: my bad, you dont need "Every tick" condition in a second picture.

Hello!

Something like this?

Or even this to make it look a little better:)

Hope that helps <img src="smileys/smiley2.gif" border="0" align="middle">

Hey — !

You can do it using a container, saves a ton of code)

Here is the .capx

And here is a manual on Containers

(bump)Exercise 2. A little "Breakthrough" in Tower Targeting :D

Hey!)

Here, you forgot to set position of the object to mouse.position + offset)

PM'd you.

Aww, my bad. Fixed it :)

Hey hey!

part12studios , I think i have some good news! :D

It might be messy and needs optimisation, but.. Here, catch the capx!

Hope that helps!:) I'll be glad to answer any questions. <img src="smileys/smiley9.gif" border="0" align="middle">

Hello! Yup, "bullet -> on bounced" condition would be pretty nice. <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle">

I've tried to emulate it, here is the capx. Not a perfect solution, but hope that might help <img src="smileys/smiley9.gif" border="0" align="middle">

/Edit: Might replace obj.Angle with obj.Bullet.AngleOfMotion for a closer emulation

Hi there! Just wanted to say I have the very same problem in my project.

I'm totally gonne note you once I manage to make that work!:)

Bumpeh, posted a second exercise! :)

Burvey, Thanks alot! :) It was all about making an easy and pretty straightforward game. But.. as a hardcore gamer myself.. i could not leave it without a little "easter egg". Did you happen to find it?:P

Greetings, Scirra people!:)

It's been a while, like a year or something.. Nice to be back:)

// Btw, glad to see tons of new pretty features in C2, great job C2 team! :D

Shortly about myself: I'm still a novice Construct user, still have some massive game ideas,

and still have way too much to learn to make a dream of creating-a-nice-big-game come true.

But this time I have just enough time to learn >:D Also, now i have a friend of mine interested in C2 and, so..

I hope we'll gonna motivate each other :P

It all started (and ended) with this wierd thing. Lots of ideas, but way over my capabilities.

Now it's stuck at a Prototype state until i'm good enough to finish it off.

Now speaking about this topic. This is gonna be a "bloggish-like" theme, where we post our training projects, studies and so on.

I'm totally sharing .capx and answering any questions. And I'd greatly appreciate all your feedback/advices and especially criticism ^_^

I'm always up for cooperation, team learning, volunteery work, well, that kind of stuff. Makes learning a bit more fun ;)

Oki doki, let's start?

26.11.2013 Exercise 1.

<font size="2">This "game" came out of nothing, while I was explaining the very basics of C2 to my friend :)

Then i've just finished it as i wanted. No indeep knowledge involved.

Well, not too bad to start with, a bit of experience is still better than nothing.</font>

Now say Hello to Flabby Joe. The Mood Killer Jelly.

Use Arrow keys to move, Spacebar to shoot and, you know.. try just to have fun :)

Reach level 6 to win.

It may seem too easy at first. Well, did that on purpose. Gets a bit harder over time. *hint hint*

A big flask to the left represents your Ink level. Once it's empty- your game is over.

No worries, just wait 5 sec and it will start again. Ink decreases over time, when you shoot and when you let a Smiley run away.

Posting capx : Messy capx.

<font size="2">//Updated both game and capx **</font>

4.12.2013 Exercise 2.

<font size="2">Tower Defence exercise. This one is all about making an OK mechanics/prototype, not a full playable game:) (might do it later)</font>

Here is a demo: TowerDefence study.

Main things to do:

[done] -Enemy movement along a path

[done] -Tower management ( building, selecting, upgrading )

[DONE] -Towers shooting mechanism

     ( aiming a proper enemy, damaging it, splash/slowing/poisoning etc.)

• Waves. Spawning enemies in a pre-defined order.
• Lesser things like money gain, win/lose conditions, simple menu and so on.

You can do is build/upgrade towers and spawn enemies manually pressing 1-5 keys.

Press [M] to get some extra money, [Shift + M] to set money to 0.

Click the tower to select it, [Esc] or right-click to cancel building/upgrading mode.

Double-click "Sell" button to sell a tower.

<font size="2">09.12.13 update</font>

At last! I've moved from deadpoint with Independent tower targeting/shooting/parsing stats an so on! :D

Battle system still needs tweaking, but that's more like balance stuff, working on formulaes rather than coding.. so, not a big deal :D

Making it work exactly how you mean it to do after a series of failures.. feels great! <img src="smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" align="middle">

Here is what i've tried to do : Event Based Turrets. That was an attempt to imitate turret behavior via events. Might be a good solution if it works properly..

but it does not:(

While you have one type of tower- everything is fine. But just when you add unique stats on towers.. it breaks.

Something is wrong with picking objects, and I didn't manage to find all the mistakes, so..

I've decided to play around a default turret behavior. And scored. Works nice and smooth :) Capx Independent Turrets

So, I consider first 3 points of my plan done:) And that is like 2/3 of the whole exercise:D

To-do list: Implementation of waves/levels, scoring system, menu, minor UI updates and final balancing!) Won't take long, i hope, most of the critical issues are fixed:D

17.12.2013 Exercise 3.

<font size="2">Alllright, just can't focus on one thing, here's a small RPG-ish thing</font>

Arrow keys to move, [Space] to interact :P

Nevermind it, it's terribly raw)

RPG exc
