Hello Scirra/Construct Community!!!

It seems that I have far gone this part of the introduction phase of proper community etiquette... My apologizes to all... With that said;

My name is Jay Reid... I'm an artist by genetics I just(seems to run in the family), and I'm a self taught musician... I'm been playing video games ever since I got a "PONG" entertainment system in the mid 80's... Hence, the attraction to C2. I'm now an aspiring game developer, using my natural talents along with a keen eye for design to produce my first game... Programming languages seem very cryptic and complex, but Scirra's Event system (built from JavaScript SDK) makes it easier to comprehend complex syntax... In a word, relieved I found this awesome HTML editor. Well hoping to have my first game up and running asap people... Sorry I took so long to write this :)

SMH.... Happy now??? LMAO!!! You "internet types" are a "trip" <img src="smileys/smiley13.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

I certainly am. If you want to troll and clown around find somewhere else to do it.   <img src="smileys/smiley21.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

..... And may I ask: what are you doing by replying to this post? Aren't you the one who is "trolling"??? I made my point...

OH..... I see... Hence setting container in the first place... Got it! Thank you sir, appreciate the reply :)

Well I seem to have remedied the Score duplicating it self by re-arranging some for the code... I think I'm good on that aspect, but the player sprite has a "copy" attached in the browser when the layout restarts... I have the hero box re-pinned to the player sprite(both objects have been "respawned" by the system Create event) so I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this problem... Hoping for a little help or insight on this... Thank you.

I respect your "opinion" in the assessment of this post, but I'm not "upset" at all... Get a life and stop "trolling" dude... I stand by my post in it's original intention... I merely made a request for a "tutorial"... That's all. I didn't "ask anyone to make a game for me, or do anything of the sort"... There are a few tutorials on this site that cater to novice C2 users... With that said, any designer or programmer with a good grasp on what truly make a good(insert genre)game will understand that explaining every aspect of a function or feature would benefit most beginners... I can't stand when people have the attitude of "... well, if it's too hard for you, maybe you shouldn't be doing this..." towards someone who is trying to achieve a goal... 98% of people facing adversity of this nature will just quit and call it day... So yeah, something like this will "upset" me... Some random post or "troll" doesn't upset me... I get it, it's the nature of posting on public threads, on the internet... As for paying for a tutorial, I have no problems with that at all... I totally see your point that a lot of these individuals have more important things to do with free time. I get it. Was just making a request as stated in my original post(maybe you should read it). Anyway, You seem as if you like "assuming" as well... I guess I already "know" what type of person you are...

Ok I'm running into another issue... Things seem to working, but as I'm moving left in the game, my player sprite "has a duplicate" attached to it... So it looks as if I have "two" player sprites just overlapping one another... I'm not sure how I can fix this; also the score "doubles" on the layout reset... I think I can fix this with events so I'll try some combinations I thought of recently..

.... "Well I feel like a genius... lol!" I had the Player Box and Player Sprite on the WRONG LAYER LOL!!! Thanks for the reply dude...

BACLog

..... Yeah ease up off the "internet bully" routine buddy... I made a comment referring to the scope of the project... Not "asking" you to "make a game" for me... So calm down, breath, and step down off the proverbial "soap box" if you would so kindly, sir... I never once asked, in this post, for (...wait for it)@BACLog said: "Look, no one is going to make the game for you, neither will they create a tutorial to cater to you." Did I ask you that? No.... I don't think I did. So now that portion is squared away; BACLog also said: "you come off as very self entitled and I for one feel no need to help you any further." Honestly, I think you had a "bad day" today or something of the sort... Honestly, I could care less if you didn't "post another mega man capx" in "my honor" LMFAO! I don't understand "internet bullies"... You have NO CLUE what my intentions are, nor what my motivation is yet you make "assumptions"... You should try asking questions before you go assuming "Oh this guy just wants a free ride" and then go all Dennis Miller "rant" crazy on the forum... Again, thanks for the reply to my original post, but I rather not hear from you in the future "lad"...

I just had a thought: If I reset the Global variables, I run into another issue... I don't want my "Player Score" "Player Lives" GV(s) being affected by the reset... There has to be a way to perform this task without resetting the GV(s), or resetting the layout and still subtract from "Player Lives" => respawn player sprite+player box with health full...

Sorry it took so long to reply; Had to work today... And yes sir, I did try the respawn player sprite with pin and still had "weird" results... I may have had the actions in the wrong places; not sure so I will give that another try...

LittleStain

I did not try that... I will give that a go as well... Appreciate the replies guys!
