Wow, thank you for taking the time to put this together. I can see how what I was doing wrong with my functions. I was calling Global variables instead of parameters.

Again, thank you so much. I'm going to sit down in a bit and try to figure out what you did here.

Thank You,

Stephen

Hey hey,

I made a tree and I have placed a few copies of them around my platformer. I now want to use that same tree and add an effect to it and put it in the background. My problem is, when I add the effect it applies it to all the trees in my project. Is there a way around this? Or should I just import another copy of the tree?

Thank You,

Stephen

Hey you,

Just want to see what you all think about these trees. I think number 1 is repeatable and doesn't stand out as much. Which could be good for a platform style game.

Tree 2 on the other hand is really alive and bright. Who doesn't love eye-candy?

Tree 3 is sort of in between.

What do you think I should use and why? Thanks!

Well, almost the end of the day now. Can anyone else give me some advice on how to handle this?

Even if you just have turn based attacks with the ability to select a target and use skills...

Any example capx's I could dissect?

Thank you,

Stephen

Hey everyone,

I was just playing around in Illustrator and I made this fun/summer field background thing, lol. Not sure what to call it. Anyways, someone might find it useful.

Free for all.

I give up for now. I don't understand functions or anything really, lol.

Here is the latest build I was working on.

.capx

Nimtrix This is what I think needs to happen...

Check which player can attack

Check which spell/skill user selected

Check which enemy the user selected

Wait for attack button pressed

On attack button pressed, jump to selected enemy

Cast previously selected spell/skill

Calculate damage

Return player to starting position

End players turn

Calculate which player goes next

(I was thinking of using a timer for each enemy/player)

So someone with a lower attack-time could attack sooner then someone else with a higher attack-time.

So, you wouldn't see its switch up like, Enemy/Player/Enemy/Player

Instead you would see something like, Enemy/Enemy/Player/Player/Player/Enemy/Player

Here's an example of what I am thinking of doing. Notice the wait time in the bottom right hand side of the screen for each character.

Nimtrix Okay, I have posted it to my Dropbox. Hopefully this link works for you.

Simply put, I wanna know if I should start using functions for this part of my game? This turn based fighting is the most complex thing I have made, thus far.

Hey you,

I am making an RPG game, where all the fighting is "instanced". Like Final Fantasy fighting. Under certain conditions I want the current player to jump out, attack and jump back to its starting position.

I have got this part down pat. But, looking at all the other variables I am going to need to calculate and so on, the way I am doing it now just seems wrong.

I am used to Functions in C++. I know there are Functions available in Construct 2. Do they run the same way as C++? Can I pass variables between them?

Here is a screen of the code I am using right now. Should I continue using this format or switch to Functions? Got any tips/advice?

Tested and works. Thank you Nimtrix

Hey you,

I am trying to spawn an animation in front of the player. A slash animation to be precise. But the only locations I can use are imagepoints that are already set on the player.

Is there a way to spawn the slash at imagepoint 1 + 40 pixels, or something like that?

Thank You,

Stephen
