dop2000 , do you mind if we discuss about this somewhere else? Since many of my messages are still in moderation I find it inefficient to communicate here. I would really love to have your insight on this ;_;

Here's my capx file. I've managed to make it move but are there ways to make it smoother?

Think this might work (using the water effect on a separate layer)

Wait, is there a plugin or a behavior to achieve that moving water effect?

dop2000 Tiled Movement doesn't exist in C2 so unfortunately I can't use it..

The pool area is small so in the finished product I would have it resized into a larger scale so the player can traverse further across the map. And the 3 roses would also get rescaled.

The mouse is only to determine which direction the swimmer is facing (and holding left click to dash and deplete the dash bar which I have not designed yet). Then the player can alternate between S and D to accelerate (sprite will also change into a swimming animation).

You can open this demo in free version of C3. And then you can copy everything over to C2.

Ah yes, I've also just found the editor so I'm gonna check it out now :) also I have 1 pending post detailing my game but it's yet to be approved so I'm sorry for the trouble..

If you need to repeatedly press S/D keys to swim faster, then check out this demo.

Also, do you mind taking a screenshot for the event sheet? Because I can't open the demo using C2 :( and it's strictly needed for me to use C2 only..

Hi there, I'm in my 3rd year of visual design major and this semester I took a game making subject that requires me to create a simple game using Construct 2. But even after my professor's explanation, I just can't seem to stop getting lost at the interface..I'd appreciate any kinds of input because I'm just that dumb at coding and stuff :(

My game is about a female swimmer who's supposed to swim while dodging clusters of sperm cells (I know it's weird, but it's based on a popular topic currently circulating around my country, which is the absurd notion that women can get pregnant by simply swimming in a public pool..)

What I want to know is:

1. How do I control the movement using the mouse input?

2. How do I make the character move forward by repeatedly clicking the S and D keys?

3. Manage the health points behavior (represented by 3 roses, and every time a sperm cluster hits the player, the rose turns monochromatic)

I still have lots of questions, but I guess these 3 will do for now. I'm sorry for asking too much and being too dumb in general :(
