  • Hi there!

    How are you today?

    I've been using Construct from Scirra for a while now just for my own fun and exploration. Bought a license to support the guys and their great work. Now I'm working on actually releasing a game!

    The only problem is when I export to Windows Phone 8, the game works great on my two test Windows 8.1 Phones (Flagship Lumia 930 with 2GB RAM and Low-End Lumia 635 with 512MB RAM) but are a bit jaggy.

    Although If I export the game to a Windows 8.1 Universal app, on the Lumia 930 verything is perfect and beautiful but on the low-end phone it crashes as soon as I press the Go button to open the actual game Layout.

    Loading -> Menu Layout -> Actual Game Layout

    If I try the browser it does the exact same thing. Am I stuck using the WP8 app or there's a way to fix what's happening with the low-end phone with the WP8.1 app (and the browser).

    Thanks all and have a great day

  • The forum has online sorry about the delay! I just really wanted to thank you! I didn't have to use the TImer behaviour and just use my own general dt timer for the whole game and even keep my "Every x" seconds. Thanks so much!!

  • Ahhhh! Thanks a lot Sargas, that does make a lot more sense now! So I should just create a Text Object with a Timer and use that to control my stuff. Since I have multiple different timers, should I use a different one for every "Every x" and "Time =" events? What's the performance impact if that's not too much to ask?

  • Thanks for your quick reply! Actually I'm having this problem. My spawners are set at Time >= 4 sec then every 3 seconds spawn. The problem is that when I restart the layout for a new game it does not wait and they immediately start spawning things!

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

  • Hi guys, I know this is an older post, but it is my exact problem and I don't really understand the solution. I get the idea of the Timer behavior or using a delta timer Global Variable, but I don't just don't get how to implement it. The Timer behavior is related to an object and right now it is the System spwning my objects so I don't quite get that part. As for my own Timer, where/how do I actually make the repeatable counter.

    My problem is that right now the System is creating the objects for me and from what I under the object itself needs to create... itself?

    Thanks!

  • Wow! Thank you so much! I'm used to Javascript, but this visual approach is still new to me.

    You should have a Donate button as a respect for your help.

    Thank you so much for your time!

  • Hello everyone!

    First time on the forum and I'm getting into Construct and making games for the first time. I've been through the tutorial and it seems pretty easy to do some very simple things.

    I have a target in the middle and I want an object to be created at a random position outside of the game frame and directly go towards the middle (Craft.X and Craft.Y in my case).

    I just can't get the "Create at random position outside of frame and angle to" part.

    My game is 1080x1920 for my tests. My idea was to do a Random -300 to 0 and 1080 to 1380 for X and Random -300 to 0 and 1920 to 2220 for Y.... but I just can't get it done.

    Thanks everyone and have a great day!
