That's only level 1, the rest won't be evenly spaced and there will be other things that come flying at the sprite. I need it to add one to score each time the sprite goes by the platform. Next, the score will need to add 1 after to goes by a falling anvil. So it needs to add 1 to score when whatever it gets passed something.

I know there is away, I've seen it happen before, I just can't figure out how.

dop2000,

Oh! I thought of that, but I put it in On start of layout, thinking it needed to see it right away.

That makes much more sense. Thank you!

dop2000,

Thank you for the reply.

I've been going over the demo you made and I'm confused (not surprising lol)

The demo holds the level unless it's closed, then when it reopens it starts at level 1 again.

I think that on the intro layout I need some kind of logic in system > go to layout, but not sure what to put so it starts at the last level. Unless it needs something on the game layout like when game opens check max level and start there.

Any hints?

Thanks again.

Von Perkele,

Thank you for the reply. First thing I'm doing today is rereading clamp. Thank you. I'd forgotten about that one.

I started rethinking this last night.

Would it be better to do something like when the score reaches 100 > do whatever cool reward thing, then local storage saves the data and sets the level to +1?

I do that with games where I have many layouts and event sheets, but I think it can be done when using just one layout and one event sheet. Not exactly sure how, that's today's project (after I reread manual on clamp).

Then use the clamp idea that you gave me to do this:

level 1: just avoiding small girder. Level 2: just avoiding longer girders. Level 3: the same as level 2, but faster. Level 4: slowed down again, avoiding the longer girders, but with swinging blades.

..... and so on with each level adding something new, going faster or slower.

I tried using: if local storage has saved the level as level = 3, action: run the larger girders at the faster speed, but that doesn't always work. I'm going to go read up on clamp, I think that will work better than just the level = 3 do this thing.

Please, if you have any addition thoughts, please let me know.

Thank you so much for all your help.

Thank you all so much. We need more of this - different ways to do the same thing.

I've spent hours, far more than 5 minutes, playing with this program. I try every example I find online. This doesn't come easy for everyone. I look at these options, try to put them together and they don't work as described. Tile movement works great until you add drag and drop. Solid doesn't mean solid and the manual isn't helpful - I've read it. We need more examples (challenges) like these so everyone can learn, not just people who learn from manuals.

rafaeltrigo,

What am I doing wrong? It almost works, but skips.

I change the name of the background in your template so I could just copy and paste it into my game. I changed the size (which is always what trips me up)

Your screen is: 1920 x 1080 And image is: 1920 x 2160

Mine screen is: 432 x 768 And image is: 432 x 1536

So changed the Set Y to ... to about 15 different things, but no matter what I do, it still skips.

I know it's in the size. Math hates me.

Thanks for your reply.

I'm making something like swing copter. The player goes up. Click and the player goes right, click again and it goes left. I followed this demo: construct.net/en/tutorials/swing-copters-from-ground-1325

I'm thinking the level would be determined by the highest score, maybe?

And no level map, just keep moving forward.

Does that sound right?

I'm not positive how to keep the new challenges for the next level to keep from spawning on the previous levels. I've tried global variables = X when highScore variable = Y before in other games, but it didn't work so well.

I'll start looking for high score demos.

Thanks again.
