  • You often ask your questions as if you expect people to be very familiar with your game.. We are not. It's very hard to give you the answer without seeing your code.

    I'm guessing you should add your ships and fighters (and maybe other objects you want to show on the minimap) to one family. Move that ID from the ship sprite to the family level and update all related events.

    See this tutorial:

  • Tom, the thing is - without signatures and any info in profiles people on this forum kind of lost their identity and individuality.. Everybody look the same now (well, apart from the avatars). There is zero information about who everybody are, what they do, what country they are from, what games they make... If you ask me, this is not a good thing.

  • Tom, why do we have fields like "Occupation", "Email address", "About you", if they are not displayed in public profile? Could you make them visible?

  • Just set Unbounded scrolling=Yes in layout properties.

  • Could you explain why do you need to disable Solid for the floor under your character?

  • I don't understand what's going on in your code, and sprite names like "P1" and "G2" don't help..

    Have you seen this tutorial?

    gamedevelopment.tutsplus.com/series/make-a-match-3-game-in-construct-2--gamedev-12721

    It explains in great detail how to make a match 3 game.

  • This happens because the bullet can travel a different number of pixels on each tick.

    You need to change your code like this:

  • First of all, make a backup copy of this folder, just in case.

    Then check if there are any files ending with ".backup" or ".autosave"

    If you find such file, rename it (remove ".backup") and try to open.

    .

    Also, check this folder: C:\Users\YourName\Local Settings\Temp

    Sort by new, see if there are any recent folders with names like "CAP123456". Copy them to a safe place and check if any of them contain your project.

  • Are you sure the problem is in Construct2, and not in your PHP script or server or browser etc.?

    Have you tried requesting the same file directly from the browser address line?

  • You can use distance() expression.

    Something like this:

    Every 0.5s -> NightBlock set opacity to lerp(80, 0, distance(planet.x, planet.y, sun.x, sun.y)/200)

    If the planet is more than 200px away from the sun, opacity will be 0.

    As the planet moves closer, opacity will increase up to 80.

  • The easiest solution would be making a bigger collision box (by the way, the collision polygon in your red line sprite is wrong).

    Or put a bigger invisible sprite for swipe detection.

    Or you can make a more complex system - on touch start remember the coordinates and time, then on every tick as the touch continues, check if new touch coordinates are on the other side of the line. If this happened quite quickly, then you can assume that there was a swipe gesture across the line.

  • Can you post a screenshot of your code?

  • Hey, no problem! I happen to have some free time and I enjoy helping people on this forum, by doing this I feel like I'm learning a lot of new things myself and getting better at game development.

  • 20-60 second delays are quite long, so forget about using "Wait" action.

    Add Timer behavior to one of your objects (background sprite for example) and a variable "callCounter".

    Then you can do something like this: 

    On start of layout
[ul]
	[li]> Sprite start Timer "CallFunction" for random(20, 60)[/li]
[/ul]
Sprite On Timer "CallFunction" 
callCounter<3 
[ul]
	[li]> Add 1 to callCounter[/li]
	[li]> Sprite start Timer "CallFunction" for random(20, 60)[/li]
	[li]> Function call ...[/li]
[/ul]
