  • Add an instance boolean(false) to the player, when it collides with the verticle wall make it set the instance boolean to true (So it can jump again); next Do keyboard.input.spacebar check to see if the instance boolean is true every time. Also make the ground change the boolean to true so it can jump after it lands.Rozen2014-02-11 22:53:10

    Nice, I like that idea. I will give it a go and see if I can make it work, but a capx would be awesome haha. I understand the theory but my skills in C2 are still dull.

    Thank you!

  • I know there is a tutorial on Rotary type gravity based games but this seems to implement something else.

    I've pasted a link to the video example below. The gravity transition is really smooth, I'd love to utilize something like this in a project.

  • I was just setting up my Clay.io account for leaderboards and I saw that you can add advertisements with payout options.

    Has anyone done this and have the time to share their experience?

    Thank you.

  • Problem Description

    When I right click the sound folder in my project I am able to click import and select the .wav files I want to import. The issue is when I click through the options and start the conversion, the program shows me a full progress bar and then hangs. I let it sit for 5+ minutes and it didn't change. I'm at a loss, I've tried other file types, sizes and upload options with no success.

    Description of Capx

    A new CAPX with no information does the same thing as a project with objects and actions.

  • Try this plugin:

    I'll try that, thank you!

    Do you know if there is a way to do it without a plugin? I've yet to try new plugins but this looks pretty solid if I can't do it with stock C2.

  • I understand all the variable settings to make a virtual pet type app, but I'm stuck on how to have the app check the users local clock/time to compare the amount of time since the last usage. I need this function to not only make the variables like hunger and happiness more realistic but to also allow a "lifespan" type counter.

    I also have no idea how to save on exit.. I imagine I can make a "on browser close>save game" sort of thing happen but I haven't gotten there yet.

    thank you!

    Many thanks to all the collaborators helping to make this a better thread. I will update this regularly to reflect new answers, discoveries, and created resources. As I find time, I'll write out the steps for each resource, rather than just link to the various threads. However, for now it will have to do.

    Thank you!!

    I've been looking for a good list of tutorials to bookmark <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz">

  • Fantastic Idea, I would like to know how to accomplish this too.. I'm trying to wrap my mind around turn based play and would love to see a tutorial.

  • There's a thread for it here:

    I already deleted it for you though, so no need to post there.

    Saved my bacon!

    Thank you

  • I need to either remove the "has violence" click box from my game, or delete it and re-upload it without that option. none of the people I wanted to show my simple idea want to create an account to see my game and I'm kicking myself for clicking that stupid button.. I don't think it really counts as far as violent content goes but I clicked it out of habit..

  • I'm new to this, and I want to learn more so I've signed up for MoPub because it seems the be the clearest path. I was wondering if anyone would be able to answer a few quick questions though.

    Is there a difference in CocoonJS and Crosswalk as far as add support goes?

    How easy is it to add the actual banners? I assume C2 has an option on export for a banner much like the options for HTML5 exports but I've never tried it. Do I just past a code some place?

    Sorry for the newbie questions.

    Thank you.

    Instances variables are what you are looking for, Just create it for your ennemy, and use it instead of a global variable

    Thank you, I was just thinking this was the same sort of thing I will need to use on my "ammo".

    Well, everything is working awesome now but I'm not able to reference the instance variables in text boxes. At least I don't know how anyway. I'm working on a project where I need to visually see the "Health" of the object/enemy. With a global variable I was able to easily reference the value with the "Set Text" action but for whatever reason the instance variables are not able to be called the easy way. How do I make the instance values show up in the text boxes <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" />?
