  • I like the style, the music choice is awesome. I really love how the track kicks in once you first interact with the crate. You can tell that you have a creative mind for this. If I may,

    I need you to put all of your focus in hitboxes and origin points. Those are keeping your games from being playable.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Appears to be happening on Chrome and Chrome Canary when you add Construct 3 to you task bar/install is as a web app.

  • Not sure if this one needs screenshots. Ctrl+F and search anything in the project, when clicking "Go To" it no longer functions.

  • Excellent explanation and breakdown RadioMars.

  • Considering you didn't mention cropping to size after using the eraser tool I'm not sure you have a complete understanding of what I'm suggesting.

    The scaling might mask the issue because the outline tool has too much noise on the low end blurring the artifact, and the high resolution is sharp enough where the artifact is too thin.

    But it is an artifact, nonetheless whether you know how or where to look is on you.

  • Buddy you need to go to the image editor and make sure every frame of the image is cropped completely. You have blank space around one of your sprites with transparent pixels. You need to manually erase those then crop the images.

    If you have even the faintest transparent glow of a pixel the outline will draw around that.

    I see this all of the time when I'm editing graphics and try using drop shadow something before I cleaned up all of the pixels around it.

  • So when you have the image dissappear, start with (ctrl+z) to have the image pop back up, use the selection tool (S) to copy the entire image (ctrl+c) go to the frames in the animation window, right click and duplicate image. The new duplicated frame won't be affected by the error. If the new duplicated frame is also invisible just (ctrl+v) and there's your backup. This is the workaround I've been using any time this happens so I don't lose all the work.

  • Bump to expand the question Ashley is it possible to access these sort of gamepad features with the way C2 is now through updates? Or is that one of the things you guys were working on with C3?

    Specifically with NW.js

    Ideally I'd want my NW.js export for 32/64bit on Steam to have vibration functionality at the very least. Also, I know it's a longshot, but possibly ability to detect Xinput or Ps4 controller and access the new controller's features.

    Sorry to bother you/bump an older thread, I did some searching to see if this was addressed before.

  • You are using the nickname-plugin, which I don't use, so I'm sorry I can't help..

    Useful post...

  • When adding a gamepad event, the first value entry is the numbered controller the action pertains too. I would look into Windows and how the Xinput system works for joysticks and gamepads.

    In terms of code there's a variety of ways to go about it from there, using a loopindex, families, or my approach has been just finishing the controls for one user, copying and pasting ALL the events and just going from there. The later is more time consuming and seems like a less intelligent way to go about it, however if you keep your subgroups well-organized it can be the most stable, and fairly intuitive.

  • I wasn't exactly asking how to use the software, I am pretty decent with software in general, just lacking experience on how to proceed.

    The thing you said about hand drawing before confused me.

    My bad, my process usually is,

    -I will look at other people's pixel art for reference.

    -Once I have an idea of what to go for draw it with a pencil on graphing paper (1x1 square block paper used in schools for Architecture graphs/tables and geometric patterns) You can probably get it at a bigger grocery outlet, if not an Office Supply store for sure.

    -Then put that above my keyboard then zoom way in on Greenfish and just re-draw what I have on paper. I separate the parts I want to animate into layers, and just copy the object along a sprite sheet and then make the variations.

    But again, we are all Game Developers, I'd check out

  • megatronx, I might try a hold to toggle type of thing with weapon selection, but I think mouse support will be the direction I go.

    Anyway, here's a test build of my game. The keyboard controls are very messed up, so if you have a gamepad, it's for the best.

    I really like where you're going with all that, keep us posted on that project pimp!
