  • You can change the hotkey..

    In the top toolbar (small one) click the dropdown next to the debug button, select More Commands, then the Customize button down the bottom.

    Unfortunately not everything can be given a hotkey.

  • See if this helps. It's pretty rudimentary but still.. This is based on different objects rather than one object/multiple animations. It's based on the autorunner template.

  • Pretty sure you're not stupid Can you post the capx? We could help you more.

  • Also, search in document for those times you forget which event sheet you need.

    Sounds good.

  • You could have the invisible wolf not as a separate object type but as a normal wolf object, and have an instance boolean variable that tracks if it is an 'invisible' variant. When it gets shot by the observerTower, just toggle the flag (to make it shootable by normal towers) and bump its opacity to 100. If I've understood your needs.

    Another thing (more general) is to have more families than just 'enemies'. e.g. 'shootable' or whatever. You can have objects in more than one family to give you more control. It's 'kind' of like dealing with a class hierarchy that way.. kind of.

  • If you move the 4 lines that are unnecessarily executed in the while loop.. it's identical to mine I don't see the point in passing in the '3' to the function though.

  • Check the tutorials/samples.

  • I could try writing proper code for it via Javascript SDK but I'd like to do it within the Construct 2 if it is possible.

    that sounds pretty over the top You could just have, e.g., a boolean instance variable IsGui or similar, and check for that (negated) in all your pickings.. i.e. your sprites in the UI would have that as True. But it is a pain to have to check for that everywhere. Can't help feeling there's a 3rd party plugin that might do the job but I'm not sure ..

  • Lol

  • Hi Codah,

    Yes, they are named Layout1, Layout2...

    Without a space..?

  • Try Construct 3

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

  • You should navigate to a layout by name, but we can't see those without the capx. What are they called? "Layout 1", "Layout 2"?

    Edit: Make sure you have the space between 'Layout' and the number.

    Suggestions. You don't need the check for CurrentPage in event 6 and 7, and adding System:Once while true to events 2-5 would advisable.

  • Might as well keep adding to this.

    Could we have 'search and replace' of text in the event sheet?

    I'm referring to quoted text, i.e. strings.

    e.g. changing the name of a function is tedious if there are many calls. Although from now on I will follow my own advice and use a constant text variable for each function. But that's just one example.
