  • Why do you use 1 px between tiles, to get white lines? Wouldn't it be better to have zero as spacing?

  • I know how it can be with searching. You just have to use better search words (try to think of similar words with same meaning).. Search within search in forum is good!

    And if you fails with search, you can post at the help forum... I have gotten so many awesome people helping me with things. If you start the post with being humble (not pretending to know everything) and courteous it helps much. It is worth to add some social grease. If you pretend to know it all then people are annoyed, you know? Just suggestions.

    Yes I do have many thins I would like to improve or add on Construct2, both inside the coding features and the editor itself. Many many things. (latest better control of the events as now I have passed 200 lines on one page.. print out, adding different colors, comment within actions, save snippets etc...) But Ashley is one person dong this work and he have chosen to do so, but then consider this: he's doing updates so frequent.. It is fun to have a software where the creators are reading the forum and not being like "on other planet" as is the case with many software.

    So again, if you fail to do something or can't find info on something it is not best idea to do post in harsh way, you know, you have to examine first, then ask questions at help forum, and then if you come to conclusion it is not possible, then you might add request, or maybe request for plugin.

  • Edit again, I compared again with one enemy, with the same "map" as the many enemies and it appeared that the logic was a little lacking. I added another option and now it seem to work. Save for the cpu eating.

  • blackhornet Thank you!!!

    It definitely made this to work a little better.

    Hmm. It is kind of working. Yes enemies are moving on their own, but now the movement is a little more irregular than if it was a single one. hmm. Sometimes it won't even move.

    Ah well, back to stare at movements, noting down what's problematic.

    EDIT: It is so random. It also feels a little "choppy". hmm. I wonder if it breaks the Else. Or if the "second" object is sent in the events processing before the "first" one is finished. hm.

    EDIT again..

    Ok not "little choppy" but "Much choppy". It really stops the game for a while occassionally. I wish I could add breakpoints to within loops for debugging!

  • I have finally gotten the enemy movements down pat, that got some sleeping on the code for my part, I think I even dreamed on how to solve it.

    When there's only one instance of it, it works well! Following the edge of other tiles.

    But when I added a few more enemies in same level, suddenly the other enemies are just imitating the first instance, doing exact same movements as that one. When I want them all to do their own moves independently.

    Maybe I should add some kind of loop to my events?

    Or maybe I am missing something? Obvious, probably.

    Thank you for all kind of help, now off to make some food.

  • Do you mean social forums in general or are there a specific forum named that?

  • I want to find the princess but I can't even figure out the first clue. "right here"! I tried to click on all the right words in the page, "here" (partial words) and I also looked for "invisible" text.. hmm. I am always so bad at these things

    EDIT: I found the first clue! Actually a clue to that clue is elsewhere.. Hahaa!

  • I would like to be able to add a topic to favorite (that is, not on my browser, but as part of this website) just like you can favorite tutorials.

    If it is possible at all?

    oh, could also maybe add grade too so if a topic is worthwhile to read people can put five star?

    Just ideas.

  • hollowthreat, thank you for another suggestion!

  • Ah that's why it never worked for me when I tried Ejecta 1 month ago following some semi cryptic tutorial.

    Might give it a try again!

  • Looking at your version, you changed from Move to Set Position, I see. That's better.

    I might actually want more smooth moving but that's for future, when I have gotten the base nice. Smooth moving and smaller "window". No you do not have to help me with that one, I like to try things myself first.

    Thank you again,

    Fimbul

  • And thank you, Fimbul (and for your more in depth solution/explanation too so it will help other people too if needed.)

    I am so thankful of the help of this excellent forum.

    "proper" bug or not, I am happy that this got solved with your help, at least found the actual error. I almost considered making a *very ugly* solution of only for column 1 up, but no need for that now.
