Hello,

I have a fake 3D game vertically scrolling. There are two ways in which a player can move (run and fly - powerup). All my obstacles have a solid behavior. When the player is running it does not pass through any of it. However, when the player is flying I disable all the collisions and put the player on the top of the layer so that it gives a feeling that it is flying. There is a flying timer which when runs out the player falls (enable all the collisions). What is happening is if the player falls on any of the obstacles, it gets stuck due to the solid behavior. How can I handle this?

This helps. However it does happen sometimes that the instances are created in one particular area and other area remains empty. Is there a way this can be tackled?

What is the best way to randomly create non-overlapping objects?

When I write a create object action:

Create object X on layer 0 at (int(random(100, 1720)), int(random(100, 880)))

This creates object randomly on the layout. Let's say I have to create 10 instances of the same object randomly, the above event creates multiple instances overlapping with each other. What is the best way to tackle this?

I tried to check with "is overlapping" condition after creating the instance, destroying if overlapping and then again randomly creating it. But this takes time to settle all 10 instances.

Hello,

Is there a way we can loop through the objects in the family (and subsequently create it) when none of the objects in the family are created yet?

Following example has 2 different way to create random object: dropbox.com/s/1ng5la2xx3yjyvr/summon_random.capx

Thank you for sharing this. However, I am unable to open it. Can you please take a snap and share?

It could be better to make one object with different animations instead of 10 objects. You can use the Is playing condition if you want each of them to have different events and actions. If you do this you can set the animation to str(round(random(1,10))).

For Each Placeholder -> Spawn another object (fruit)

Also, do you want to use pin to just set position or is there another reason?

What happens when I have multiple instances of the same fruit? How can I uniquely identify them to trigger events or actions?

I am using pin because I am trying out a vertical scrolling game. If the fruits are pinned to the placeholder, they will move along with it.

does it work if you take physics out of the equation?

Physics is required in my case. It is working even with physics. It is switching from jumping to climbing and vice-versa, however, sometimes that switch is not smooth as the player tries to cling on the stairs when I press the up key. Please note jumping and climbing both happens with up arrow.

Is there a way in which I can save the state (especially local and global variable, object properties) while moving from one layout to another?

I have a master layout to perform a few activities. Based on the activities, there are different games launched (as a new layout) from this master layout. After playing those games, I return to the master layout. This is where I want to ensure that the activities I performed before is retained.

I have imported mp3 audio files into my project. While launching the project via Construct, it works fine. However, when I host the exported package, it runs into the following error:

[Construct 3] Failed to load audio 'media/myaudio.webm': DOMException: Unable to decode audio data.

Any idea what could be causing this?

Laptop / Chrome. haven't tested it on other devices.
