Hey All,

As I'm working on my game, I've decided it's time to insert some Sound Effects and Music soon to get the "VIBE" of my game as I'm working on it, it is very weird when it's all silence.

I was wondering about few things related to Audio in Construct 3:

1 - Can I control the Location of the sound like in many other game engines? if the character is going to the RIGHT of the screen the sounds related to the character will PAN to the RIGHT as I want?

or we don't have this feature?

2 - Built-in Compressor or Limiter:

As more and more Sound Effects overlapping each other at the same time + Music, it's natural that the music will pass the 0db limits to something that may sound unprofessional distorted and also, not recommended in any media.

Do we have a built-in Limiter to STOP all AUDIO output to maximize it to -0.2db for example?

what about a compressor to control the attack and release ratio?

I'm aware it is not a professional music software, as I'm coming from this background but I'm curious about these features and how can I use them to make my game safe and more professional in the Audio department.

I'll probably have more Audio questions later on, as I'm just starting to play with it now for the first time, but for now, I'll be happy to know about these 2 important features and how can I control them from the event sheet or properties?

Thanks ahead and sorry about my bad English.

Thank you — for the example and the link, I will try follow them.

I hope it won't be confusing as I think it is, but I'll have to try as soon as I'll get a chance. :)

Hello All,

As I'm working on my game I will add more items, for start and easy testing I made 3 Items.

When the character pickup the "Randomizer" (sprite) it will choose randomly from 1 to 3 of the items.

The Items built from 1 Sprite, each Animation = Different Item. 3 Animations in total (for now)

This is the current code I'm using (which works perfectly fine):

The Items are supposed to be divided to 3 types, means 3 Sprites:

- Items_Common (which is the current Item with the 3 Animations)

- Items_Rare (I still didn't add it)

- Items_Legendary (same, still didn't add it)

My first approach is to make ALL the items (animations) in 1 Item: Common, Rare, Legendary but it's much easier visually for me to see 3 actual 3 items and import the animations for each instead of one Item with everything.

Now for the Questions:

Based on the code I show on the image above, How can I make the % of what item type will be spawned? for example:

70% Chance = Common, 20% Chance = Rare, 10% Chance = Legendary.

1 - How can I get this Chances to work to my decision based on these 3 different Item types (actual 3 sprites) ?

The next issue: UNLOCK specific "ANIMATION" on specific sprite (Common, Rare, Legendary)

This is probably much more complicated because I didn't make any Saving Data options for the game since I'm not sure which one to use for such thing.

How can I make some Animations LOCKED (no chance to get them) UNTIL the player unlock it?

And what if the player QUIT the game, will the Item stays unlocked or reset to LOCKED again?

I'm sorry for the complicated explanations and my bad English, I hope that you can help me out here with these 2 questions, based on my information.

Thanks ahead for your help, I can't wait to see your advice, suggestions and solutions, the more visual the easier for me to follow and understand since I'm still new to C3.

Thanks everyone!

I tried the different ways suggested here, and I found that the use of Boolean for overlapping was the easiest to use.

I'm still curious why the "FOR EACH" didn't work, and wonder when I will need to use it if not in such case. I didn't find many video tutorials about it and the documents didn't really help me understand because I didn't come from a programing background I don't know much about loops in general but can't wait to start using them in Construct 3.

So thanks once again everyone, this community is amazing! :)

UPDATE:

So after I removed the Function, I re-code the stop/freeze of the enemy, I didn't use "FOR EACH" and it works...

So one issue solved, now every individual enemy collide with the player stops.

But the other issue is still there: if the Player jumps on 2 enemies (normal collision) or 5 enemies, I will lose 2 HP or 5 HP!

What I want: Lose only 1 HP if the player collide with any of this kind of enemy type "GooE" even if they are grouped together.

So there is one solution mentioned with variables, but I wonder about different approach?

can this be solved with the magic of "FOR EACH" ??

here is an example in its most basic form

test

Thank you for the example file!

I don't see why it's not working on my code, maybe because there are more things like animations and stuff I even tried to look if I made any extra conditions that may clash, but nothing else.

Even when I placed the enemies manually on the stage it's affecting all of them instead of each instance separately, but on my code I use System Create which in this test creates 3 enemies called "GooE". maybe that's the problem?

But when I attack them, it works great... it won't reduce damage to all, but to each instance (and I didn't code anything special just reduced the damage) that's why I'm so confused now. :(

In my game I must create / spawn the enemies randomly and not just putting them manually on the stage.

So I'm guessing that's why "FOR EACH" isn't working, and it's not related to the function I did but it's only a guess... I'm still scratching my head while trying to think on a solution for this.

Here are visuals of how it works on my current tests:

When Player Attacks it works perfect: per instance. but when Player collide with the Enemy ALL Instances rracts instead of just the specific enemy:

Also,it cause the 2nd issue which damage twice when collide with 2 enemies instead of just 1:

If anyone have other ideas or suggestions, please share... I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, please have a look above on my other code tests followed to other suggestions.

Thanks ahead!

Thanks for the quick reply!

I lost you now, but I REMOVED the function since you said this is the issue, I got rid of it for testing.

And both issues are still there, even when there are no functions at all.

So... do I make it on the wrong order?

I found out that it's a bit more complex than what I imagine.

When I attack 1 enemy (2 hits = destroy for quick test) it dies, the rest keep moving around = GOOD!

But... when I collide with 1 enemy, all enemies stops, change direction, keep walking (calls a simple function I made).

So I have 2 issues now, and it's good to solve them before I'll add more enemies to the game to understand how to deal with it later, that's where I need your help.

1# = As I posted originally, when the Player jumps to test collision with 2 enemies instead of hit once, both will damage at once = BAD (I need only one enemey to hit). — gave a solution but I'm not sure if it's related to the 2nd Issue so I didn't use it yet.

2# = I just described above (collision with 1 enemy affect ALL enemies).

Are these 2 issues related and can be solved in the same condition, I'm a bit confused.

I did try to use "FOR EACH" which I probably use totally wrong but it sounds like it could help...

Dear dop2000 I bet you can solve this easily, you already helped me and many others so much!

Can you please have a look on this post and share your advice / solution, example or visual image of how it's done will be very helpful.

My wrong use of "FOR EACH" I just tried my luck since I don't know how to use it after reading about it.
