  • Checking it every 30 seconds is causing the problem. Remove that from the events and it should work.

    The way you have it set it will always go to Retry level because it will send you there before you ever reach 12 points. Use a different trigger to check your score like on player dead.

    Set a global variable and call it EnemyCreated and one called EnemyKilled

    Each time an enemy is created add 1 to EnemyCreated and when an enemy is killed add 1 to EnemyKilled.

    Every tick check to see if they are equal and if so then all enemies have been killed.

    If you are spawning enemies continually you will need to stop spawning while you check if all enemies are dead.

    i will try it on the ipad pro today and let you know how that goes.

    Hi Harrio! I added a new layout and made the flipper and plunger control pads bigger. Flipper controls go all the way to top and bottom now. Give it a try and tell me what you think please.

    UPDATE: Added a new layout to Magnetron and made the touch controls bigger for us fat finger people. I am still designing layouts and missions for this game if anyone wants to help I will pay for good layouts. PM me.

  • lamar that works only for up down left and right, as I can not have two key released conditions in the same event. Unless I am missing some thing.

    Though I want my character to face the diagonals of the 8 angle movement when set to 45 degree intervals, when they have stopped moving on that angle.

    Did you change the Set Angle to "no" in the sprites behaviors?

    You can use a sub event to check if both keys are released.

    Main event checks if one key released and sub event checks if other key is released.

  • Looks like they got the arcade back online and I updated one of my games after a couple of failed attempts.

  • UPDATE: Added in another car and closed gap in traffic to make it more challenging and increased cash drops so you can accomplish the first mission a little faster.

    Check it out and test your driving skills:

    Forum and website working but arcade games still throwing 404 errors on all games.

  • Hey mods or anyone that knows what is going on with Scirra arcade 404 errors?

    Arcade offline for several hours now.

  • The site obviously wasnt built to take the amount of tears flowing from people who point blank refuse to pay Scirra a few dollars a month for C3

    What's so special about C3 that we can't already do with C2?

  • On player collision with ceiling play squish animation.

    I make my own player death animations all the time.

    Squish would be easy.

    Just copy the top of the animation of the player and drag it down and repeat for several frames until there is nothing left.

  • I thought I was the only one! I just uploaded my first game a few minutes ago, and it can't seem to load! I even tried to check out the other games and I get the same error message.

    Maybe you're right, and it's due to their servers (with the new announcemnt of C3) being worked on. I hope they fix this soon.

    Forum has went offline and on several times as well. I would think the forum mods would let us know what is happening.

  • Hopefully they are working on them and it's not DDOS attacks or someone upset with C3 stuff. Which does bring up the point, if there were server attacks would no one be able to access their game/assets from the cloud service. I suppose they will have built in local storage redundancy. This probably isn't the right area to discuss it in though. Anyways, thanks for the info. I was just about to PM you to say your driving game was down lol.

    All games are down right now.

    If it was DDOS I don't think forum would be working.

    Scirra arcade had been running slow for awhile and throwing errors so I think they are transferring to a new server but sure would have been nice if they had given us a warning or heads up.

  • The last few days the Scirra website has been off line sporadically and now games in arcade throwing a 404 error file not found?

    Hopefully this is a result of Scirra working on servers and just a temporary issue but some kind of update or word from Scirra as to what is happening would be appreciated.

  • I think Scirra is working on their servers. Been offline several times the last few days and now no games in the arcade are showing up. Hopefully it is a short term thing.

  • Yes I remember some similar probs in an earlier release.

    It seems to be connected to using any programs that run using the shared clipboard running at the same time and may be a windows conflict.

    I have had probs with just getting the files to show up in windows 10 and the more they try to improve it the more they screw it up.

  • Thank you very much for your very well done game.

    Right on T Games and glad you enjoyed the game!
