  • Why are you setting the door to sollid in the first place? Solid objects are unpassable, period. You will never overlap with them. At least, not if you're using a built-in behavior like Platform or 8 Direction.

    I was confused about that as well. But when I checked his cap I figured that he wanted the door to be part of the level boundary.

    Actually wouldn't it be better Makis to be able to place the door anywhere in the level, so the player can overlap anytime, but only pass through the door with the key? In many platformer games doors are part of the background. So you might want to go for that. But maybe your game concept requires this. After all I don't know.

    Instead of using overlap with the door object i use collision with another object. Even though the door is set to solid (to prevent the player from passing through the door) it still doesn't work. I'm checking for collision and not for overlaping so i guess it doesn't matter that the door is solid!

    You are using collision with another object and not the door itself? But your next sentence kind of sounds like you were still using the door itself just with on collision on not overlap. Again, I'm a little confused there.

    EDIT: Oh I get it... the another object thing lol. Of course it's called like that in Construct itself. My bad. Then I guess you can't be on collision with something solid when you're using platform behavior.

    Anyway, I made small changes to the cap you posted. It works with offset. Remember if the door was to be approached from a different or both directions you need to have an event with different X offset as well.

    Here is the cap

  • I'm actually a little confused but I think I get what you mean.

    So if the player is overlapping the door and has the key, the game will instantly jump to the next layout, right?! Just put an invisible sprite that checks for overlap and the HasKey variable in front of the visible door, which can be solid now of course. That way you can get an overlap.

    Even easier: you could check for overlap at offset.

  • Okay I noticed various things in your cap:

    First of all you have an always event which rounds the X and Y position of the player. I don't really know why it's in there in the first place. I can imagine it would cause quite some problems and I'd really recommend to remove it.

    Then you have the platform movement assigned to the player sprite itself. You might want to use a simple rectangle dummy sprite to have the platform behavior and add the actual player with animations and all on top of that.

    And for animations: you should have a look at tagged animations. Will save you some events. Of course if you have a dummy sprite you will have to add an event which always sets the player sprite animation to the dummy animation.

  • Well I'm afraid I'm not at liberty to share the source of this project.

    I suppose you are fairly new to Construct. Maybe you should make yourself familiar with the program by checking out tutorials, the wiki and doing little games/tryouts yourself. Also look at caps posted here in the Uploads section or elsewhere.

    And if you are having problems achieving anything particular, you can always post in the Help forum. I'll make sure to have a look at it and the folks around here generally offer a great deal of help.

  • This is a good start for a Jump'n'Run game. I like the bright and colorful world (which is waiting to be filled with enemies) and you have a nice waterfall effect in there as well.

    The walking animation still felt too jaggy, seems like it needs more frames to it.

    Another minor thing: the color of the camel seems to be pretty similar to your basic ground color. Personally I'd prefer if it was more like in the title screen, where the camel is brighter and the color tone is more yellowish than redish.

    So are you planning on stuff like jump pads and powerups? Hopefully so. Looking forward to upcoming updates.

  • Create a private value for the player which counts the jumps. Leave this value at default 0. Everytime the player jumps, add 1 to this value. (Jumps)

    Create another value which will be set to Random(5) + 1 on startup. (SoundTime)

    Now if Jumps is equal to Soundtime => play Sound

    If Jumps is equal to 5 => Set Jumps to 0 and Soundtime to Random(5) + 1

    That should do the trick I guess.

  • Omg you did it again. Awesome little game!

    Although I guess I learned nothing after all...

    A minor thing: at the end of Level 4 I was able to fall out of the layout. Maybe it's an intentional mistake.

    And people tend to dislike installers when there's no good reason for it.

    EDIT: I just figured it might most probably be because of the font you are using. So you are excused.

  • Hehe, nice mascots.

    Also have a look at the Construct Corner forums:

  • Low framerates. Sprites never reached their intended position, because they basically warped rather than moving properly. This was fixed by limiting the distance an object can travel in the first place. So if they moved further than they should, they're instantly reset to their intended position.

  • Here it is again:

    It's also a slightly improved version. Especially if you had problems running this on slower machines because the skulls went out of the screen, you should now be able to play this.

  • Well, you could always use a dummy sprite. Like you use it for the player itself.

    Create a sprite of the desired shape and spawn it at a certain image point when the player is attacking. Then destroy it when the animation is over. Now you can check for overlap with this sprite.

    I guess that's kind of what you asked for... I'm hoping.

    If not feel free to go more into detail.
