  • This is a game I've been working for some time.

    It's a 16 bit adventure platformer.

  • Hello! I'm newish to construct, but this is what I would do: have an object that is centered to your viewport spawn them on the start of the layout. That way you have their position the same every layout. I don't know if this is your issue but I hope it helps!

  • Guinea Pig Parkour is a great example.

  • Thanks So much —! It works Great!

  • Okay, I'll give it a try! Thanks!

  • Hello,

    I am making a platformer with some boxes that I want to have destroyed if the player is doing a special move while falling. It seems really simple but I'm having trouble for some reason getting it to work. I have a solid box and a collision sprite positioned on top of the box. I am also using instance variables to check if the box can be destroyed:

    Player: on collision with Box Collision Sprite and Box collision sprite variable is 0, player is falling, and player animation down attack is playing, add 1 to box collision sprite variable.

    In another event:

    Box collision sprite variable equals 1, Box set animation 2. Animation 2 is of the box is exploding.

    In another event: Box on animation 2 finished set solid disabled and destroy the Box and the Box collision sprite.

    Comparing Y doesn't seem to do anything as well. When I preview the project the code works in a way, the animation plays but all of the boxes get destroyed when I just do the attack on one box. What am I doing wrong, or is this a bug? Thanks!

  • I just found the same problem with a box sprite with a solid behavior added to it. It's really frustrating. Is there some way to simulate a solid behavior?

  • Update! The codes work wonderful!!! Thank you for your help!! :D

  • Hello lionz, I will try the codes and post a reply when I finish them. Thank you for all of your help! :D

  • So I rewrote the codes and the turning right animation works fine, but the turning left animation won't even trigger. The sprite just freezes up when you're facing left. But if you press right while facing left, the turning right animation plays fine. I'm new to construct so I'm probably missing a ton of stuff, so if anyone has a c3p file of how to do this, it would save a lot of time and frustration. My new codes are as such:

    On left arrow pressed and sprite is NOT mirrored, and Turning right is NOT playing, then set animation Turning left then set mirrored. The same codes for turning right with the mirror changed and the animation set to turning right. In another event, Is turning left animation is playing OR turning right is playing, then start ignoring player input. Then in another event, on turning right or turning left finished, stop ignoring player input and set animation idle. The set moving animation will only trigger if animation turning is not playing as well.

  • Hello lionz Thank you for the reply! So the codes I have now are as follows:

    On left arrow pressed, set animation to "Turningleft" then set mirrored. Then in another event: On right arrow pressed, set animation "TurningRight" Then set not mirrored. In another event, On TurningLeft animation finished, set animation "idle". The same codes then for the "TurningRight" animation. Then I have: Platform on moved, if animation Left and animation right are NOT playing, Set animation "Running".

    It's still not working and is only triggering when I am pressing an the left or right arrow when the "start ignoring platform user input" code is running. (I have a fade on the start of my layout that deactivates the player input while it's running) And even then it's still all wonky. This is so confusing because it seems weird to have two "left" and "right" animations when the system is set to mirror on the keys pressed.

  • Hellolionz! Well the turning animation would be very quick, Like Wario from Wario land 3, or like Clara Mae from Night in the woods. I just would like my sprite to seem more real rather then always just going from left to right without any sort of "middle" animation to make the transition smoother.

  • Hello, I was wondering if somebody could help me code a turning animation. I can't find a simple step by step tutorial on how to do it. I have turning, walking, and idle animation and the codes: on right arrow pressed set not mirrored and on left arrow pressed set mirrored. I am guessing that I will need a string variable that tells left from right.
