If you post a link to a sample CAPX file we may be able to help a bit quicker...i,

I can't post link URL's yet(not enough Reputation points)...

I've tried to get the required 500 Reputation points but it's impossible!

Sorry...

<font size="5">How Do I Stop A Bullet Sprite From Rotating?</font>

Hi,

I am making an Asteroids remake with "Construct 2".

I've setup the Asteroid sprites as bullets.

When the player's laser bullet hits an asteroid it goes in the opposite direction.

The problem is the Asteroid sprite's rotation also changes and I do not want this.

How would I stop a bullet sprite's rotation from changing when it changes movement direction?

Thanks!

Hi,

I go by the hackerer name: "JeZ+Lee" and am an Autistic Savant.

I've been making video games for over 15 years now.

I am fluent in C++ and HTML5/JS.

I've built a C++ and HTML5/JS 2D video game engines before.

I've purchased and used for a few months "GameMaker: Studio"

I've recently purchased "Costruct 2" and think it is better than "GM:S".

I plan to make several video games with "Construct 2".

Thanks!

They would be immensely helpful and it's been asked. I have no idea why it hasn't been added yet, unless for some reason Ashley thinks the current commands are enough or it would be difficult to add the new ones. It would make things a TON easier for a lot of normal tasks.i,

Microsoft Publisher has similar commands:

• Bring to front
• Bring forward
• Send to back
• Send backwards

I don't understand why SCIRRA does not include

bring forward/send backward commands in the IDE?

How Do I Quickly Get Reputation Points?

Hi,

I am new to the forums and "Construct 2".

I tried to post a demo of my "Construct 2" project,

but was told that I need 500 Reputation points to post a URL?

What is the quickest method to gain more Reputation points?

Thanks!

Here are screenshots of my "Construct 2" project:

For now you might notice those say "move to bottom", "move to layer", and "move to top".

Move to bottom, and move to top mean place on top or bottom of their respective layers, not some other layer.i,

Understand...

I think these new commands would be very helpful if they were added.

<font size="5">Please Add: Send Forward/Send Backward Commands...</font>

Hi,

I've been using "Construct 2" for a few days now.

I have a suggestion for the IDE:

Currently there is only

"Send To Bottom Layer"/"Send To Top Layer"

Z Order commands in the IDE.

I think it would be helpful to add:

"Send Backward"/"Send Forward" Z Order commands.

Hopefully you can add this to the next update, thanks!

In lieu of font outlines you could display the text twice, one in black, and over the top of it in white, moved the black text down 2 pixels and left 2 pixels to create a faux shadow?i,

I tried adding a second text with black color

and positioned it with an x,y offset of 1 or 2.

Just does not look good in my eyes as the developer.

I've got 15+ years C++ programming experience.

(I also hand built an HTML5/JS 2D game engine before)

How hard would it be to write a JS script to be read by "Construct 2"

to draw a white text with a black outline in JS script??

Let me know!

You are spawning them on top of each other. Check create object action in system menu, probably more suited for what you are doing.i,

That works, but all 3 large asteroids have the same x,y start position?

How can I randomize the x,y start positions of the 3 large asteroids,

while keeping them at the edges of the game screen away from player?

Thanks!

<font size="5">Spawn 3 Times Only Spawns 1 ?</font>

Hi,

I am trying to spawn 3 large asteroids for my game project now.

You can see code below - problem is only 1 large asteroid is spawned?
