  • Can you make some kind of timer so that when the player holds down the button, the bullet doesn't fire until after the bullet that is fired from the initial click is shot?

  • It's actually much more involved then that. It is possible to do, but it will take a lot of work and you would have to know exactly what you are doing.

  • It sure sounds like a memory issue to me. Have you tried checking task manager as the game runs? There is probably something in your events that you haven't caught in the debugger yet. It's near impossible to tell without a capx though.

  • I've upldaded a new video featuring the games title screen. Included is a short synopsis of the games story as well as a sneak peak of one of the games magnificent original sound tracks!

  • Problem Description

    The system save and load function work in the C2 preview mode (nw.js) but does not work after exporting to nw.js

    Attach a Capx

    Description of Capx

    Press the space bar to simulate going to the next level, then save and load the game.

    Steps to Reproduce Bug

    Run in nw.js preview mode. Press the space bar a few times to simulate going to the next level. Press save. Close the game, reopen and press load. The game will save and load as expected.

    Export the project to nw.js. Press the space bar a few times to simulate going to the next level. Press save. Close the game, reopen and press load. The game save will not work. (I tested both win32 and win64 versions with the same result.)

    Observed Result

    Game does not save after exporting to nw.js

    Expected Result

    The game should save and load after export the same way it does in the C2 nw.js preview.

    Affected Browsers

    nw.js

  • I noticed that the website is automatically scaling up the image size in my signature which makes it look blurry. Is there a way to get the image to load at the correct (smaller) size? I tried adding BBCode to resize it but it looks as if that feature is disabled on these forums.

  • I have a slideshow that I am displaying. It is made up of 9 sprites about 1200x700 in size. Currently what I'm doing is creating the first sprite which has a fade behavior attached to it. The images don't actually fade, they simply are destroyed after the behaviors wait time ends. When the first sprite is destroyed the second sprite is created and so on. I am wondering if there are any advantages or disadvantages of this method over simply creating one sprite with 9 animation frames and destroy the sprite after the animation is finished playing?

  • Great job man. It looks like you've solved most of the bugs. I really enjoy playing the Simpsons version, probably because it has so many bells and whistles. The ball control is very good now as well.

  • Thank you for the reply. I'll look into it further and see what I come up with. I just can't figure out why the save works perfectly in the C2 preview but doesn't work after export.

  • You're welcome. If you have any issues relating to this, feel free to get in contact with me. I've already worked through most of them myself and I would be happy to help if needed.

  • You're welcome. I'm glad you got it figured out.

  • There are literally dozens of ways to do this. You'll need to experiment and find the way that works the best for you. I've put together a capx of one way for you to hopefully get you started.

    EDIT: I just noticed that you said you wanted an effect animation to change, not the player animation. In that case, you would do it the exact same way as shown in the capx, just add the variable etc to the effect sprite rather then the players. I've updated the above capx with an example.
