If it´s really just about not having weird internet people in your chatroom you should be able to use wss://multiplayer.scirra.com without issue though. You just need to make sure to change the GAME_NAME and INSTANCE_NAME variables (and possibly also the room name) in the example to something else.

I think the comparison doesn´t work the way you did it. But either way I just remembered there is actually a "Pick nearest/furthest" action so no need to use distance :V That should do the trick without any hassle! Could have thought of that earlier. You can just do "Pick nearest goodboy" and use enemy.X enemy.Y as position.

There´s this (it´s the official signaling server sold by scirra)

scirra.com/store/game-making-tools/multiplayer-signalling-server-161
And you maybe want to check this

construct.net/en/tutorials/multiplayer-tutorial-concepts-579/page-2
An alternative could be google firebase. This is not the same thing as a signalling server but it has functionality that allows to make a chat. Specifically with the realtime database. It can´t be used to make a realtime multiplayer game though (at least I´m pretty certain it can´t)

firebase.google.com/docs/database
It´s important to know though that none of the options are free or easy to do. I haven´t used a signaling server before, I just assume it to be not easy to setup properly. Firebase is doable but you probably want to know a bunch of javascript if you want to use it.

Hard to say without seeing the events. You probably need to evaluate who is closer using the distance expression. construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/system-reference/system-expressions

The smaller value is closer and then set that as objective. I´d advice against doing this every tick, doing this every 0.3 seconds or so is probably enough.

Yeah that´s pretty much what I hoped to avoid but it´s the best solution so far. I actually don´t even need to blend a continuous animation, it´s more a change of a state. Basically my objects can have several different states and when the state changes it should not just pop into the other state instantly.

Hey, just wondering if anyone got a plugin or easy solution for frame blending? I don´t need anything fancy, just instead of instantly switching from frame 1 to 2, blend over with opacity over a set time. I know it´s doable with events obviously, but it requires creating extra temporary Sprites on top with fade behavior and I feel like it could lead to a bunch of annoyances in the long run. Or I could create the animation as a sprite Animation and just have this play but that also feels a bit meh, especially if I end up changing the sprite and having to redo that animation.

Maybe I´m overlooking some easier solution? Or maybe someone has the sudden urge to write a behavior? :D

Cheers

This is one event, you have to use two events for this. Your event means:

If Lennon.X is bigger than Mouse.X AND smaller than Mouse.X --> Set Lennon Mirrored THEN set him Not mirrored.

You can set up a for-loop and within the loop loopindex will give you an incrementing number.

Loops are system conditions and loopindex is a system expression

I´m glad to see people have time to write several lengthy posts complaining about how things work and coming up with alternatives instead of just posting a bugreport that probably takes a whopping 5 minutes and actually helps solving the problem.

Just imagine you release your game and someone just says "Level 2 doesn´t work, here´s a screenshot of me wedged into a wall" and when you ask him for more info on how he did it he starts complaining about how he is basically your bugfinding slave and starts a revolution.

It might still be too fast for the jumpthrough platform since it´s not a full solid. There is just a tiny "line" on top of the jumpthrough that determines landing on it or not.

I suppose that´s one of those cases where the movement causes the cubes to "skip" over detecting the collision within a single tick. Like very quick objects that can phase through solids.

I do think this should be corrected since moving platforms aren´t exactly some rare edge case, it´s one of the most basic platforming staples.

Yeah I have that sometimes and it eventually fixes itself. No idea how it happens.
