In the sounds folder i have the following structure:

Sounds/player_1/[all the sound files]

Sounds/player_2/[all the sound files]

When the user selects the character they want to play with i set a global variable to either 1 or 2

How do i then in my event sheet play the sounds for that specific selection.

For example:

at game over, if the character selected is player_1...i want to play the sounds located at Sounds/player_1/gameover.wav

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Im just going to jump in here as its related:

So at the moment i have a family object called "player" in wich i have 2 sprite objects "player_1" and "player_2"

"player_1" inside the family has an instance variable - selected_player = 1

"player_2" inside the family has an instance variable - selected_player = 2

The family itself doesnt have an instance variable set - as i dont know if the individual object from the family needs to have the instace varibale or the family itself.

I also have a global variable called selected_player = 0

When you select player1 from the character selection layout i set that variable to 1 or 2 based on the selection.

At the start of the game layout i create the player object and place it at specific coordinates.

So the question is, how do i get player_1 or player_2 to appear based on that global variable.

Hope it makes sense.

At the moment they show up randomly.

Thank you so much!

You can use "Create object named…" and then call System > Pick last created object from Family

Not sure that answers my question.

oosyrag - Amazing explanation. Thank you so much.

Can you tell me a bit more on how i do this:

"Then you can use the family - compare instance variable = global variable, it will pick the chosen object."

Thank you!

im also interested in this as i recently switched to families and i have problems understanding how it all works.

I have a character selection layout from which you select the game character you want to play with.

before i added both characters (sprite objects) in the "player" family, i used to have separate event sheets and layouts for each, and in each event sheet i had all the events on that sprite object (jumping, shooting...etc)

What i want now si that once i select the character i want to play with between the two, to only have to apply all the events and actions i had before on the individual object to be applied on the selected family object.

How is that possible.

I created a global variable called player which is 0 initially and when you select a character it either gets the value 1 or 2.

And then i want a specific object from the family to be used when the family is referenced in all the evenst and actions.

I have a character running in the game and i want to trigger some sounds while he is running at random times, taking into account this is an endless running game.

Can someone help?

Thank you.

Maybe some sort of shield around the character? Can anyone help with some examples?

Hi guys,

Alex here again :)

I have a game character as a sprite with multiple animations within (animation for running, jumping...etc - each with 6-9 frames).

While running through the game, i collect some object that give the character invincibility. This works fine.

I want the character to get a glowing border around it while invincible, but i want to do this without having to change the frames in the animations (so without adding new animations) as i want a really nice glow. I know it will probably have to use opengl...or maybe not....not sure.

Ive gone through the list of effects and cannot find anything that creates a border around the character and makes it glow.

Can you guys help me with some tips on how to do that? maybe a combination if effects? or maybe an add-on?

Thank you.

You cannot wait before requesting fullscreen. It only works when used immediately in a user input event with no waiting.

Indeed that was the issue :) You cannot use system wait before requesting full screen.

Thank you Ashley

Hi guys,

I really need some help here.

I have the following:

However the full screen request never happens on any mobile browser. Tested on Chrome, Firefox and Safari - all latest versions.

It works on desktop browsers.

Any idea how do i get the game to run on full screen? Also is there any way i can turn the canvas to landscape?

The game will not be in an app, but on a website, thought i clarify that.

The game settings are:

Thank you so much,
