  • Hiya, you don't download a file to save the game. With local storage you set an item to array.AsJSON when you want to save it and then get the item when you want to load the saved array.

  • I don't think you can get the object name, unless you have an instance variable which is the name of the object, but the question is why would you want that? If you overlap sprite3 it becomes the picked object so technically you could pull the instance variables from it with events and set text to those values.

  • So the location of the touch doesn't matter, it is touch anywhere on screen? You can do this by toggling a boolean.

    On any touch, toggle sprite.boolean (between true and false)

    If boolean = true, every tick simulate control move left

    boolean = false, every tick sim control move right

    Something like that.

  • Add a trigger once condition.

    You can set the animation to loop=yes

  • Ok great :)

  • every x seconds, progress bar set progress to progressbar.progress-1

  • I'm not really getting it, you mean like this?

  • Hello! Image point 0 does refer to the origin which defaults to the centre of an object, however the image point can move if you add new graphics. Open the image editor and look at the imagepoint 0 location, it may have moved below the image (where the fireballs are spawning). You can right-click the origin image point and quick assign it back to the middle.

    The fireballs moving up I believe is an optical illusion because the platformer template comes with layers that have a different parallax. This means that the fireballs are probably spawning on layer 0 which is the background layer and this layer has a slower scroll rate to layer 1 that the player is on. To fix you can set the background layer parallax in the options from 50x50, to 100x100.

    Having the different scroll rates on layers is not helpful for beginners I guess, you can read more about parallax here but in general you can just keep it at 100% : construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/project-primitives/layers

  • You must be resetting global variables or setting it to 0 on start of layout.

  • There are probably many ways to do it. If i was to do it my approach would be to have 5 variables on the space called ID,left,right,up,down and these are numbers. If the 4 directional variables are 0 it means you cannot move in that direction but if they are populated with a number greater than 0 it means you can move to the space that has that ID.

    On the movements events it would be left key pressed checks the left variable of the space you are on, right key pressed checks the right variable of the space you are on etc. So as an example if you are on that starting space which has a variable space.down=2 and the space below it in the picture has an ID of 2, it means on down pressed you can move to 2. If it was space.down=0 then you wouldn't be able to move. And if the starting space has an ID of 1, then the space below it which has an ID of 2 would have a variable space.up=1.

  • These long discussions is what PMs used to be for I suppose. At least you understand the logic enough to see the bugs and kind of know where to fix them so that should be enough to get you going. If you get blocked you will simply have to share the project at that point )
