  • That doesn't work. Like in my original post "It just delays the stacked sound by 1 tick so not only is it just as loud but you also get a quick repeat at the beginning."

    Don't get me wrong but you guys act as if I haven't actually tried these things already when I clearly said so in the first post.

    We understand what is going on based on what you are saying and showing in the image, the thing is, it should work based on the functions you shown, unless somewhere in your coding there is a wait N seconds that delays the event or the function call is looping and the condition is always true on overlapping sound.

    also the function parameter 2 not equal to "tag" has no purpose there as the function you are using has no higher or secondary condition/action that gives it that parameter. Unless you set it in another action somewhere we can't see as the image shown is cropped.

    when i sounded a bit harsh saying remove the functions i meant that one in the 2nd subevent, in case is missing the value requested there.

  • Tried that and many other variations. Doesn't work. Only thing that (sort of) works is this:

    But even then, it requires functions and I sacrifice the tag.

    remove the functions man

    and use only

    audio_plugin is tag "not overlapping" playing A: play audio "not overlapping"

    audio_plugin is tag "not overlapping" playing x inverted A: play audio "newtag"

    also in your picture, the audio playing tag "" is empty...

  • that sounds utterly impossible, you sure you didn't thinked you where placing them on Game area , but actually u where placing them on a 2nd layout without thinking u clicked the wrong layout? it happened to me also so many times. make sure u tap the right layout if you preview with f5 if u arent sure u are on the right layout use f4 that would start the game with the loader/menu/game interface.

    also check the the event-layout and the layout u are supposed to see the enemy or sprite are linked together, if you generating them by events.

  • You can definitely hear -35db. It all depends on the quality of your headphones/speakers and what the volume of the imported sound file is. You can probably hear -50 to -60db with decent headphones, so I would go as far as -90db before considering it silent.

    oh that's new, i remember in C2 around -35 /-45 i couldn't hear nothing, maybe cause i had ****** headphones back then xD but the audio analyser wouldn't pick anything from ~-45 and above either so... weird ... anyway the lerp works with what ever number u want :D i just tested the audio thing in C3 volume can be heard at -100 also, so i guess do for fade in lerp(-infinity,0,dt) and for fade out lerp(0,-infinity,dt) that should fix it for sure ^_^ lmao...

  • as dop2000 said, you can't automatically pick instance of the family but you can give the family a couple of variables, one for the weapon it uses and a second one for the ID of the instance.

    for example if you already have the sprite that carries the weapon place in screen and you don't create another one you can say

    on start of layout for each sprite.withweapon ascending

    sprite.withweapon.setvariable gun to "abs ( round ( random ( 0 , 4 ) ) )"

    blank subevent under start layout

    action wait 0

    subevent

    sprite.withweapon compare self variable gun if equal to 1 lets say

    action

    create gun on sprite.withweapon

    gun set animation to redlaser.

    now when it shoots, you compare which gun the sprite.withweapon has and spawn the bullet/laser based on that.

    so

    condition

    if sprite.withweapon is shooting

    and Pick sprite.withweapon where gun value is 1

    action gun create laser.object at gun image point 0,0

  • It would be great if you could swipe short and fast for a quick scroll which slows down. I tried to set speed/acceleration but it did not work out very well.

    you mean you want a inertia scroll effect here is a old C2 tutorial that can help you out

  • Hello, how can I get the enemies to attack me with a projectile? Thank you in advance for your answers and sorry if I am not clear in my remarks, I speak very poor English and I help myself with a translator.

    https://www.dropbox.com/home?d=1&preview=fred+(18).c3p

    i get this when i try to download your file.

    but u can make enemies attack by having 2 sprites,

    1 sprite for the enemy

    1 sprite for the bullet or projectile

    for the enemy to start shooting we need a condition that will make him shoot and an action to create the bullet which will go towards the player position. We also need the bullet behavior for the projectile to move and untick set angle on the behavior.

    condition can look something like this

    Condition

    system/compare two variables

    distance(enemy.x,enemy.y,player.x,player.y) =< 100

    Action

    enemy.spawnanotherobject. bullet(or what the name of the projectile is)

    under that we put another action for enemy

    Enemy.BulletBehavior.SetAngle to Angle(self.x,self.y,player.x,player.y)

    Enemy.bulletbehavior.setangleofmovement to Angle(self.x,self.y,player.x,player.y)

    Then we need a condition to destroy the bullet and subtract life form player

    Condition

    Projectile on collision with another object "player"

    Action

    Player subtract from variable "life" _ 1

    Projectile Destroy

    now the variable life can be global or local on the player himself.

    if you want a game over on the player life = 0

    we do condition

    Compare variable "life"

    if life =<0

    Action

    Player.destroy

    Reset global variables

    Restart Layout

    kinda that is the logic of things.. now you can alter the reset variables or restart layout the way you want in order to suit your needs.

    Hope it helps you also make sure you look at the community blogs and tutorials there are plenty of tutorials that help you achieve this and more.

  • I downloaded Unity, I am really keen to learn C# and there are good courses on Udemy. I promised myself I would finish a game on here though. I don't want to quit C3 because I really like it, but I think unity could open up job prospects and really help me learn a valuable skill. Any thoughts?

    Well Unity definitely would open job prospects, but i think more important C# would open more job prospects than Unity itself, if you learn C# or C++ combine that with some JS and mysql and u become a sort of a full stack dev which is going to get u in a good spot.

    Having those knowledges even without a certification in the field, will help a bunch.

    My suggestion is do an actual official course that gets you certified in the field you pick, having knowledge of things today without a certification, is equal to zero if you going for a corporate job.

    If you planning for freelance stuff or indie team dev then doesn't matter if you are certified or not.

    Remember is never to late to learn things.

  • > ok but how do i install the plugin on it??

    Is there a plugin out yet for C3?

    i doubt there is... as the qr plugin for C2 is not a official plugin but a community developed one, unless someone takes the task on converting it it won't be available anytime soon.

    u can always go Js mode on it with the browser plugin

    how to Qr code

  • ok but how do i install the plugin on it??

    view/addon manager install new addon

    why u using C3? and not C2- since the plugins and all the system u have are for C2?

  • Hi - Thanks! Did the instruction popup for you? They show what each symbol means and how it relates to which bunny to tap. I'll see what the feedback is, and might make some changes to the hints :)

    i did got the popup, but because i was able to tap and make it disappear it just vanished and i could never get it back, to look at it. maybe add a tutorial info button where it shows the popup again not only the 1st time it runs?

    other than that everything worked well :D

  • welcome to the forums, game looks good, i find it confusing what is the black and white arrow and how they influence the gameplay (as even if i tap the right bunny gets me a X )... but other than that its fun :D keep going at it.
