Yeah it does. I was actually going to create a separate post for that very question you just asked, so thanks for being insightful. I did a platformer tutorial by Ashley, and he showed how to use a playerbox so that the platformer behavior does not interfere with the animation. I tired doing this but I'm sure it's more complex than I presumed.

I just want to know how I can make everything run smoothly whilst including animations on the player.

If you could help me out that'd be great. Thanks again!

I have 4 gigs of RAM, 64-bit OS, with a 2.40 GHz Processor. My graphics card however is quite old. It's about 4 years old. So the capx does not slightly jerk a little ever so often?

I'm trying to create an infinite runner game, and the template scirra provides is great BUT it does not run smoothly.

Especially when I import my runner animations.

How can I make the game run much more smoothly?

Here it is, the temporary player is sad right because things are not working out too well for him.. lol

Okay, so why does the template lag ever so often?

What I want is for the game to run smoothly, right now it's close but it isn't running as smooth as it should be. Esp when I apply an animation to my player, everything just gets really glitched out.

So I'm trying to create an infinite runner game. This is my first serious project, and I really want to do a great job on it.

My problem is: The Auto-Runner template starts you off great, but one problem I am encountering is that the player is very jerky, and keeps on being pulled back by what seems to be friction. It does not make much sense to me as I am a relatively new Construct 2 user but I'm sure many of you know what I'm talking about.

So to sum things up, how can I effectively have my player run smoothly without looking like it's lagging or being held back by the platform.

All help is appreciated, thank you!

Mancini thanks for the support, I believe they left it out purposefully, because they rather you sell your applications, and want you to pretty much strive to make a good enough game that can be sold. Also, Scirra wants us to upgrade to a business license when we make our first 5,000.. I dunno if they are able to know how much you make some how =/ pretty sure they don't but I'm just speculating. It's more weird than anything that it was left out.. Should be seamless.

Thanks guys, I tried both methods but the problem I'm running into is that, my collisions event for when my sprite dies is:

Sprite | Is overlapping TILEDFLOOR | Sytem | Go to layout "Start"

Sprite | Is overlapping Top Object | System | Go to layout "Start"

Sprite | Is overlapping Bottom Object | System | Go to layout "Start"

Sprite | Is outside layout | System | Go to "Start"

Now these are all individual events. But when I try to put, use an action under the first event to play a sound and wait couple seconds (using time scale) before seeing the game over overlay screen.. it just.. doesn't work :/

How can I have game over, a play again button and high scores, pop up as soon as the player dies. I want when my sprite hits an object an animation for the sprite is played then game over, play again, and high scores pop up.

use an online resizer or photoshop to manually resize the animation. That's the only way I see out of this.

still not working (N)

Okay, well I know Admob is Google's official advertising company now, so I'll choose that, plus I already have couple dollars on there. Same thing leadbolt though >.< Construct is great, but it really needs a solid way of making money through advertisements. But yeah thanks everyone
