  • You could also check out the channel 'Construct Mastery' for tutorials and tips on C3. It's really helpful for beginners and advanced users alike.

    anupkumar Do you have a link? I searched for "Construct Mastery", but couldn't find it.

  • lionz is correct. Families are awesome.

    Really easy to learn and use and they will save you so much programming time.

    Here is a link to them in the manual: construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/project-primitives/objects/families

  • how can i make the character jump on the platform from below instead of hitting his head on the platform. i need him to jump from the bottom up on the platforms passing through them.

    I believe, you need to add the jump-thru behavior to the platform.

  • Is there a way to add a linebreak?

    Can't seem to find the simple code for this.

    It's not BBCode, but I find that newline works for me. This example below generates 3 lines of text.

    "Robots: " & Robots & newline & "Robots Destroyed: " & RobotsDestroyed & newline & "Robots Escaped: " & RobotsEscaped

  • Bart Alluyn has lots of C3 lessons if you scroll down the list:

    This looks great - especially his game "Runes of Aereal".

    I just subscribed and added the game to my wishlist.

  • In Spanish: youtube.com/@IxelGames

    I should have paid more attention in my high school Spanish class. :)

  • I've been working with C3 for a few months now and I love it!

    The online community here is awesome. But, what I really love are some of the amazing YouTube channels that are dedicated to Construct 3 content. I'm learning so much from them.

    My three favorites so far are (in no particular order):

    - Game Design with Reilly: youtube.com/@gamedesignwithreilly

    - Xanderwood Game Dev: youtube.com/@XanderwoodGameDev

    - Shane Lee: youtube.com/@Shane-Lee

    If anyone has any other recommendations, I would love to check them out.

  • Here's a way to do it. The meat of it is to take a line and divide a polygon into two. Then you can utilize a mesh distort to apply a polygon to a sprite. The more complex part was to eliminate bad edge cases.

    When you right click on the sprite it divides it in two then divides one of the halves in two as well. There are probably other strategies to break things up.

    This was really cool! Fun to play with and look at your code.

  • Does construct 3 take standard BBCode?

    I wasn't aware of that.

    Thanks

    I'm pretty new to Construct 3, but I've been learning fast.

    I played with BBCode in my text today and it was easy to use and worked great.

    Here is a link to the manual with all the BBCode it recognizes: construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/plugin-reference/text

    Best of luck with it.

  • I just played with BBCode for the first time.

    What a great feature, easy to use, and make text pop a little more.

  • Try Construct 3

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

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • I tried your game and I think you're off to a good start.

    I like the "vine" mechanic.

    I was surprised when I "died" on the second level and had to go all the way back to the start.

    I hope you keep working on it. Best of luck with it.

  • > Just one curious question: When you first spawn "RobotsHealth" there is a toggle option for "Create hierarchy". I didn't click it, because I see you didn't click it, but what does it do?

    You can prepare the entire hierarchy (in the editor), say, a robot + two arms + two legs + head + health text. Then in runtime when you create this robot and tick "create hierarchy", it will be created with all those parts!

    That is very cool!

    I've only been working in C3 for a few months now, I'm having a great time and constantly learning new tricks.
