  • No that's not the case, it's a 2D engine.

    This reminds me of the petition we had recently to stop Trump from entering the UK

    Already got a tattoo of 'C2 til I die' across my chest.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • What about the custom plugins and behaviors in C3?

    Interesting, start a thread about it? Hopefully it just comes under the 'you can easily import your C2 project into C3' thing though.

  • $1,000,000, which includes a postcard with a personalised message from Scirra staff.

    I simply can't justify $100 annually on something I won't use all time.

    That's just a personal thing for you then. If you are using it more than once a year then you will find that the $100/year becomes more reasonable.

  • Argh the clickbait title. Yeah I don't see a problem, I think even C2 is worth an annual subscription, I would still pay if it was annual. It's powerful software and allows you to create a game hassle-free, always worth it.

    This is too vague. A game can take 5+ years especially for someone that's not a full time game creator.

    If for some reason C2 support is discontinued, at least you know it'll import ok into C3 so nothing is really lost and you can continue working on your game.

  • sounds interesting but the link doesn't work.

  • Mr. Gyro

  • Yeah add both the behaviours but set 8-direction to use default controls:No. This is just one example of getting blocked by solids.

  • No you said pushed so I used pushed What I mean is don't just trigger it once because it will moveTo the x,y at the time it was pressed, you can use every tick to constantly moveTo the object position. If you want it to constantly moveTo the object after a button press you can toggle a variable, if pressed=yes then moveTo object.

  • Yes I've encountered this before. You'll need to put a touch to play screen or something similar in before that intro movie. From ze manual :

    Mobile limitations

    Safari on iOS and Chrome for Android share a limitation in playing music. While sound effects can be played at any time, music is only allowed to start playing when the user touches the screen. This is a limitation in the browsers themselves. As a result, if you play music on the start of layout, you may find in these browsers it does not actually start until the next touch.

    Safari on iOS has a further limitation that no audio can play at all until the first touch. In other words, audio starts off muted and the first touch unmutes audio playback.

    Usually you do not need to handle this in your events. If you try to play sound or music on 'start of layout', the audio object will automatically queue it up for playback the next time the user touches the screen. However you should be aware of this when designing your game. If the first touch changes layout or stops the music, then the music may never be heard. You may want to start playback then encourage the user to touch the screen with a 'Play' icon or something similar.

  • System save will save the current state of the game, like it's a screenshot, so will jump back to the exact point where it was saved. If you're talking about loading background data then look at local storage, there's the manual and plenty of tutorials about.

  • Rather than trigger it once on the button push just moveTo the object constantly so it updates the right location. Or you can use pathfinding to make your way to the object.
