Hey dude, did you figure this out, and is there any way of uploading it? Im new to making games and im trying to do the same thing but found nothing in the way of tutorials. Any help you can offer would be gratefully received.

Did you manage to do this? Im looking to make a grid based platform game, similar to abes odyssey, were the player steps over a square in the grid, or if you hold down the direction key they key on running but are always aligned to a grid. Any tips would be great!

Here's an example of how i would like my player to move on a single key press to move left or right, but when running, continuously take steps over the grid at a much faster rate,. 8bitwarrior.com/GridBasedMovement

I have started on something, just don't have a drop box yet to share it. I'm struggling to find any tutorials that will further my character movement to what i already have, such as grabbing ledges etc. There are some posts about this on here for the ledge grabbing and I'm having a play around with it. It would be nice to start from the simple bits first. The way my game will hopefully turn out is similar to the abes odyssey game, but abes movements seem to snap to a grid, this helps when lining up jumps etc. If i can achieve that kind of functionality, half the battle is won for me. Each step needs to be (1 square) on the screen, if that makes sense. So how do i get my characters movements to stick to a grid? so for instance, if i touch the right arrow key, the player moves one step, which would be one square. If i hold it down, the player runs over each successive square. Like i say, im new to all this, i have played around with construct and game maker, but i can never seem to find a way to get past the basic movements.

Hi guys, im completley new to construct 2, im trying to create a game were the player has the ability to walk, run, jump, crouch, roll and tiptoe.

If i could give an example of my players functionality, i would like him to have the same controls as abes odyssey.

I would like to achieve the following.

right and left arrows = walk

up arrow = jump

down arrow (pressed once) = crouch and stay crouched

Up arrow (from crouched position)= stand back up again

left and right arrows when crouched = roll/crawl (to get through tunnels or dodge bullets etc)

I am very new to construct, but if i can get this step finished then i will be very happy and start overcoming some of the games play-ability (enemies, puzzles etc)

I am a quick learner, but if you choose to help me then it would be good if you could present your information in a simple manner.

I do have all the animations ready. Just need some form of event setup.

Also, if anyone wants to throw anything in about snapping my players movements to a grid, that would be ace.

I dont want my player to be able to move around whilst in the air, I would like my player to be able to grab onto ledges and pull up.

Basically, if i could copy the player functionality of abes odyssey that would be a great start for me.

Cheers guys.
