Math!? Oh boy... There goes that idea. Every single time I look at the tutorials with ANY math I just skip it... I'm a bit of a dummy.

O well... if anybody figures out an alternative EASY way to create the same effect, please do let me know... Hmm.... I know... what if I create an animated .gif of the bottle falling over..and then after the animated gif finishes its animation, then the gravity kicks in and it actually falls down? That might work... of course, I suck with animated .gifs but you get the idea.

Anybody have any better ideas that requires ZERO math for a novice like me? Many thanks.

I'm make a game where you throw the ball directly in front of you... so the ball gets smaller and smaller as it goes into the distance.

Then.. the ball will hit an object in the distance and knock the object over. However, I'm trying to figure out how to get the object to fall down by getting hit in the front.. basically, I want the bottle to not just fall over to the side/gravity, but would like it to be hit in the front and then fall backwards (hopefully I'm explaining it properly).

By way of example.. if the ball hit the bottle from front, the bottle would fall backwards where you might basically see the bottom of the bottom as the top of the bottle falls backwards.

Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Nesteris: Thank you GREATLY for your reply. Yes... you are right!! I wasn't entirely sure precisely what you meant so I imported the sound as BOTH an "ogg" AND a "wav" file into Construct 2. Even though that seemed like an overkill, I did that.

And you know what.. I just tried the game in Internet Explorer and NOW it plays all the sounds perfectly. Thank you GREATLY.

I know this is an old thread... but you know what.. I'm having the same problem... The sound works fine in Firefox.. and it also works fine on tablets using android, but I do NOT hear any sound when I use "internet explorer." Here is the link to my game:

Let me know if you hear sound using Firefox and/or Internet Explorer. I'm stumped.

I'm attaching my capx file... I'd say I'm about 75% there.. This car definitely has very bouncy shocks... but I still haven't figured it out entirely... I want the car to be able to spin around... but I had to select "prevent rotation" for the front and back shocks -- which is clearly WRONG.. but it was the only way I could get it to work -- kind of.

If somebody could take a look at this and see if they could make the car work properly, that would be great. You'll see how I got the front/back shocks to work.. but I KNOW I did something wrong.. I THINK I have to 'pin' it or something.. but I'm stumped at this point.

Hmm.. I really don't mean to be difficult, but I really do not want to start incorporating even more stuff/behaviors/plugins into Construct 2. I'm already a novice and overwhelmed.. adding more stuff to the program will only confuse me further.

Based on the above tutorial with the motorcycle, I know there is a way to add shocks to a vehicle.. I just haven't figure out how yet... My quest continues.

I THINK what I do is I make the "shock" have elasticity in the behavior... <-- This works good. But I CANNOT figure out EXACTLY how to connect the shock to the back tire and a specific part of the back of the vehicle without things getting goofed up when the vehicle starts flipping over/etc.

I basically need to connect the top part of the shock using a specific "image point" to a specific "image point" on the back of the vehicle.. and the bottom part of the shock using a specific "image point" to the back wheel using an "image point" but I can't seem to figure out how to do it with the "physics revolute joint." I also tried "pinning" the shock (which has elasticity) to the specific parts of the vehicle but it gets all screwed up... I'm stumped.

Wow! Wow! Wow!!

Thank you soooooooooooo much for taking the time to create that example. It is ENORMOUSLY appreciated.

At first, when I looked at it, I STILL could not figure out how you got the character to randomly go in the opposite direction for no particular reason (via the bullet object)... but then I FINALLY realized you used a NEGATIVE speed to make it go backwards. I never would have thought of that!

Thank you again very very much.

Well.. I still haven't figure out why some people evidently cannot see the game on Amazon...

Nonetheless.. I just made another game and put it on Amazon. It is called "Park The Van". And once again, my dad's samsung galaxy 10.1 tablet CANNOT play the game.

If somebody has this tablet, could you please let me know if you can play it on your tablet.. And if cannot play it on that tablet, any ideas how to fix it? That Samsung tablet is one of the better tablets (in my humble opinion -- far better than the piece of crap I have).... so if it can't run on that device, I wonder how many other devices it can't run on.

Oh.. here is the directly link to the "Park The Van" game I made on Amazon:

I'd really like to have the vehicle have suspension... so it looks more realistic... Plus.. I'd like to learn how to use the software better... Unfortunately, I still have NOT figured out how to do it...

I did find the following video showing a motorcycle in Construct 2 with GREAT shocks/etc. Here is the link:

It also provides a link to the capx file that I download. I downloaded the Capx. Here is the link that is provided in the Youtube description. That link is:

oh.... Here is the tutorial link:

https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/240/ph ... ike/page-1

Unfortunately, because I"m a novice, I STILL cannot figure out how to apply this impressive technique used in the above motorcycle sample and apply it to a simple car.... Hence, I now KNOW the answer is here, but I just can't figure out how to do it.. the motorcycle has toooooo many parts and confused the heck out of me.. but if somebody could apply this motorcycle technique and apply it to a car for me, that would be greatly appreciated.

NOPE.. I'm still confused.. I looked very closely at the above tutorial which added 2 'sines' to it.. and i see that it put in 'random' numbers in the sine behavior.. but if you watch the pattern, it really is NOT random... it repeats the same pattern over and over... Plus... It doesn't make sense why I woulid need TWO (2) signs if I tell the first sign to use RANDOM anyway... so I'm REALLY confused now.

Hence.. I'm still confused.. if anybody could show me EXACTLY how to make a RANDOM character go back and forth, please do show me. Thanks greatly in advance.

I fiddled with the "sine-Horizontal" but I couldn't figure out how to make it RANDOM. I do NOT want it to always go from the left to the right and back forth... it needs to be random like in the video. Hence, I'm stumped. I'm sure that I use the random command some how but I haven't figured out exactly how. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad">

Wait! I just found this tutorial:

https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/190/random-movement

I THINK I understand it a little better now... I'll give it a try when I get home.. thanks for the info on Sine.. I didn't realize it apparently has a random feature included. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

Hi...

I'm trying to make the old school game where a character would randomly move left/right on the screen -- and then gradually increase its speed as time passes. I'm basically looking to make a game very much like the old atari 2600 game Kaboom (screenshot attached).

Oh... here is a short video I found on Youtube just incase you don't remember the game:

I am trying to make the character you see at the top of the screen dropping bombs -- he is randomly moving left/right and moves faster over time.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to figure out how to make the character move randomly left/right on the screen.... If somebody could let me know the EXACT command to do it, it would be be greatly appreciated.

PS: Basically.. the character moves only left and right on the screen.. It randomly moves from one end of the screen to the other... and then the character gradually increases his speed over time...

Thanks in advance. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">
