Common mistake by new users is that they need to understand that all Events are run in one tick, one after another.

So in your case, you test for a condition, change a variable, which makes the following condition valid, which resets the variable back again.

Try using either sub Events or an 'Else' Condition.

Can you give me an example?

Hi,

I've come across old pages for instructions on how to make an event log, but unfortunately the links are no longer active. Does anyone have this tutorial?

Learning how to make this would be amazing, as i'm creating a sci-fi strategy game where every player action needs to be shown in a text-log.

Thanks.

Hi,

I'm trying to code the following:

I have an 'show info' button at the top of the screen. When a player clicks on this it will make the text items with helpful information 'visible'. The button text then will display 'hide info' and when the player presses it, information will become 'invisible'. I can only get the first part to work, making things 'visible'. Is there something wrong with my events?

My events are as follows:

Button 1: On clicked

& Button1 is instance variable=0 >>>>>> text item: Set visible

& set Button1 instance variable=1

Button 1: On clicked

& Button1 is instance variable=1 >>>>>> text item: Set invisible

& set Button1 instance variable=0

If button1 instance variable=0 >>>>>>>Button 1: set text "show info"

If button1 instance variable=1 >>>>>>>Buton 1: set text "hide info"

it only works for the first part, whenever I try and enable the second part to 'hide info' nothing works.

Hi,

I've just purchased the paid personal version of construct 3.

I've created a simple listbox with 3 items, and set up events so that on selecting each item a text object will show the value of the item selected (values are stored as global variables for each item).

Unfortunately, the events are not working as expected - I've just created the same event in my demo version of Construct 2 and it works perfectly....i'm not sure what the problem is.

Is construct 3 coded differently?

It's really confusing.

Thanks.

Ok so i'm working on my new project in construct 3 after buying the personal licence.

Does anyone know if my purchase includes the free bundle of assets like sounds/sprites etc that the construct 2 package comes with?

I kind of assumed it did and completely forgot to check :/

Getting some sci-fi sounds / techy stuff for my game was one of the main reasons for buying it.

Thanks!

So I went with the c3 option Wish me luck!

Thank you very much for this detailed description

If I buy C3 will I be able to load the demo game I made in C2 and continue working on it, or will I have to start from scratch?

Ok - so I just noticed that there's the option of purchasing Construct 3. I've never actually looked at this software, I've always just used Construct 2.

What's the difference? I see that Construct 3 supports multiplayer online gameplay (something I'd like to explore in the future), so would this be better?

Thanks for any help.

Hi guys,

I'm thinking of buying the Personal Licence today, as I think construct 2 is a fantastic software for newbies like me, and I've enjoyed using it a lot on the demo version over the past couple of months.

Does anyone know if any discounts are available anywhere? Just checking, before I pay the full price.

Thanks.

Hi,

I would like to make a space-mmo that provides gameplay such as mining, space travel, exploration and combat. I would like 70-90% of the game to be text-based, so players would be reading numbers for feedback on their progress. There could be minimal graphics in 2d boxes to help enhance the virtual experience.

I'm a very creative person, and find it very easy to just come up with heaps of content, names, stories - you name it, I can write it. I'd need a dedicated programmer to work with on this project over a long-period. I have no coding knowledge, but I'm happy to be a scrub if necessary for the boring but straightforward coding tasks.

Ofcourse profits would be 50/50.

Let me know if you're interested.

Kindest

Obi

You can definitely do this with CSV plugin:

There are demo projects to help you get started.
