Hi

I think we really need a "customize controls" thing. I don?t know if it should be a plugin, a tutorial, or what, but not all keyboards are arranged equal, and a player should be able to customize his/her interface easily.

This kind of key binding should be so hard to do (for the gamemaker). And hardcoding a key to a motion should?t be the standard way to write Construct 2 games.

I would like to be able to have a virtual left button, a virtual right, etc, and be able to bind them to the arrow key, the gamepad directions, a screen button, the l-mouse when it meets certain conditions, or whatever the user chooses. i think it would make games mores accessible, and coding more simple.

Hi

I�m wondering if there�s a way to import a Layout into another Layout.

Basically, I�m trying to do a random generated level. My approach is to build the parts of the level as smaller layouts, and then arrange them together in the layout the player will play.

Thanks

thanks. gonna try it.

BTW, what does "

Hi

I�m having problems playing the moving animation, because I can�t detect accurately when the enemy object is moving.

I do this:

<img src="http://s24.postimg.org/438kwllxx/Screenshot_32.png" border="0" />

s24.postimg.org/438kwllxx/Screenshot_32.png

but what I get is that sometimes the object plays the walk animation, without moving. i�m guessing it�s when the object is moving along the path, but moving very, very slowly.

But when the object is moving along path, the 8way behavior don't register movement.

Is there a way to know absolutely if an object is moving regardless of which behavior is making the movement?

or the speed?

how do I use parenting?

Hi

I?m scratching my head with this one, as it shroud be very easy, yet I can?t find anything on the tutorials or forums.

I use a red box as an enemy, and I have plenty. Yet I want the box to be invisible, and attach an animated spite to it (using the Pin behavior).

So, I do:

EnemuBox On Create -> EnemyBox Spawn EnemySprite

                   -> EnemySprite Pin to EnemyBox

                   -> EnemySprite Set Position to Enemy Box

EnemyBox is Moving    -> EnemySprite Set Animation to "WalkingAnimation"

The thing is that all my enemies are acting like choreographed dancers. When one plays the wlakingAnimation, all do. And I can?t figure a simple way to encapsulate the Box and the sprite animation.

Thanks

Every tick

for each ZOrder (sort by Y ascending)

.. ZOrder move to bottom of layer

This can (and should) be optimized a bit if there are lots of objects.

Thanks. This did the trick. So far is really slow (it hangs), but I?m gonna tweak it for a while and see why is that, and how can I fix it.

Well, I�m trying to do this. In one moment of the game, the enemy is a few pixels higher than the player. In another, the enemy is a few pixels below. But in both cases they overlap a bit.

If the z order is not correct, the illusion that one is behind the other is broken.

Hi

I'm doing an isometric game, and am having trouble with z order. Basically what I need is for the z order to be determined by the y position on screen, so that objects overlap correctly.

In essence:

Every tick, every object get a z-order equal to its Y coordinate (since y increases downwards).

Any idea how to implement something like this?

Thanks

Hi

I�m experimenting with the pathfinder behavior, and have found it can cripple the CPU. I�m doing an RTS, and as soon as the unit number gets slightly high (around 20) the frame-rate drops to it's knees.

My guess is I'm not using it efficiently, but I have not found examples of tutorials on how to use it well; how to use it so that it doesn't melt the CPU.

Any thoughts?

But would?t this mean that I have to have a family with ALL the solid objects in the game? and could I then use the family feature to create another family with the monsters, but not the walls?

Thanks

Thought about the OR chain, and found it very complicated. On a large project could become unmanageable really fast. The families, i think have the same problem.

It?s odd because it has a flag to bounce off solids, so it clearly can react to every solid in the game.

BTW, I added a 8-way behavior to the bullet, and there?s something interesting there.
