To simplify yourself use "Timers" instead as they use already dt internally.

> On Timer "Increase Speed": 
------------ad 1 to "Paddlespeed"
------------Start Timer "Paddlespeed" for 1.5 sec 

I've been looking into timers, but I'm not sure it would fix what I'm after. Question, in that code; does it add 1 to "Paddlespeed" every 1.5 secs? Or, would I end up with 1 and a half?

Howdy y'all, so I'm trying to figure out something that I can't quite get to work. I have a variable I'm calling "PaddleSpeed" and its supposed to hold a whole number.

I've been experimenting with the DT, trying to get said number but its not quite working.

I tried:

1: Everytick -> add to "Paddlespeed" -->round((dt+1)/2)

2: Everytick -> add to "Paddlespeed" -->floor((dt+1)/2)

however, when I check these, it always says 0. I'm assuming because the setup in both cases never breaks over one.

What my goal is, to add "1" to "Paddlespeed" ever, say second and a half or two seconds. I've avoided the "Every X Seconds" command because if I remember right, using "DT" is more accurate or stable. Also, pausing the game will affect anything running of "DT" (if I remember right.)

any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Construct 2 manual is still available online here.

I must be going nuts or maybe it's been a while. Wasn't there another one, that was way more comprehensive and listed every, for example, expression in construct 2? Also broke it down with a explanation for those expressions?

So, i know construct 2 has lost support, but I still like it. I'm curious if there's a way to access the manual or documentation you would normally see when you click the blue text inside the engine. For example, when dealing with expressions, there was some blue text that says "Help on Expressions". Every time I click it now, it takes me to the site to get construct 3 and the online manual has been watered down; Why? no clue.

Any help would be great.

Hello and good day,

I'm working on an AI for an enemy in the vain of old school beat-em ups. Examples "TMNT Turtles in Time" or "Streets of Rage". The first thing I wanted to see about getting right was if the enemy was either roaming, curious, or actively hunting the player. For this, I came up with two solutions and was curious what would be the best move to take.

The first was giving the enemies two "line of sight" behaviors. Then checking one after the other. A "stop light" type of mechanic that worked out rather nicely.

At each stage, it simply escalates from green, to yellow, to red.

The second was one where I compare the distance between the the hero and the "nme" or just Enemy. Marking a certain distance to switch the "nme" from state to state. Again, escalating as needed.

What I'm curious and hope to hear everyone's opinion on is what would be best to go with? I ask because I plan to have several enemies (NME) on the field that will hunt the player. So is it better to forgo the LOS and go for the second style? Would using so many LOS bog down the game?

Just a curious question. Also, if this inspires anyone for anything please by all means use it. Let me know if it does.

Not including Construct 3 (Obviously not a cheap solution if you already own C2)

the easyest solution right now is to use build.phonegap.com phonegap's still working online cloud builder.

The most stable and powersul way however is to have Cordova CLI. Its complicated for initial startup, but after some time, as you adjust, will be fastest.

Here is guide for local Cordova CLI building construct.net/en/tutorials/build-android-apk-easily-1369

But for beginning I reccomend using build.phonegap

I will try to give the CORDOVA CLI method a try, looks complicated but nothing ventured nothing gained.

I did try using phonegap but it didn't work. Most of the tutorials I found online didn't explain much and I'm not sure what I did wrong.

Better to move onto Construct 3, it builds it for you. I think I previously used phonegap and it generated apk from the exported cordova files. Saying you had no success or it didn't work doesn't really help us.

I unfortunately can't make the move to C3, can't afford it. Not sure what else I can say, I tried the above methods I mentioned and they didn't work. I know that's vague and I do apologize for that but just not sure what or how I can ask.

at the end of the day I'm just looking for a set of steps or guide on exporting from C2 to an APK that android can use.

Forgive me if the question has been answered but after some time, the answers I find are either out of date or not working. I would like to test my game out and unfortunately, everywhere I turn I can't seem to find a concrete answer on how to export my game. I've signed everything as needed following dozens of tutorials but nothing yields any results.

I've tried phonegap to no success.

Android Studio didn't work ether.

The closest I ever got was using something called "HTML5 APK Builder" at "mrchay.com"

The game makes it in, I install it, run it and suddenly flashes white and then crashes I think, I'm not sure.

If anyone knows of a simple way to just get the job done I would really appreciate the help.

So, forgive me for asking but I could not quite find the right answer after searching the forums and the manual.

So, this is what I'm trying to do.

I'm spawning a bunch of squares that move upwards. When they collide, they are destroyed and do a set of things.

• Award Points
• Spawn another Sprite
• Trigger the "Flash" for said sprite
• Increase Combo Meter

My problem lies first with the fact that the sprite flash and destruction for the new sprite affect all incoming instances.

Secondly, I've pinned another sprite to this square. Every time a square is spawned, the second sprite or "Skin" is spawned accordingly. What I aiming to do, like the situation with the flash is when a specific block is destroyed, the "skin" that is pinned to it, is also destroyed.

Instead,however, when one block is destroyed, all of the instances of the skin are destroyed. This is not true of the initial block that collided.

I hope i was able to explain myself alright. Thank you for taking the time to look and as well for any reply.
