  • I mean in the image editor, when you set the hotspot the image is moved so the hotspot is always centered. I find it annoying, and I wish there were a toggle for it so you could center on the hotspot or center the image itself (like it used to be).

    Same here

  • First off, before you start assigning arbitrary values to the software, you should compare Construct to the other engines out there. Based on development, usability, functionality, and everything else that matters, you will find a big difference, especially compared to those that you have to pay for.

    You might ask yourself why is it that this free software has developed so quickly in such a short time, and the answer is, it's not free.

    Yes my friends, the truth of the matter is nothing of any value is free. In order to get what you want out of it, you must contribute time, and effort, and if you feel that you cant, or don't want to contribute back to the community, then by all means feel free to download the software, and figure it out yourself.

    Different kind of free guys, free as in freedom.

  • Grr alright fixed. Try the link again.

  • hehe, cool, its like surfing lazers.

  • Yeah there are about 10 different ways to do everything.

    If you wanted to allow for rotation of the orbiter using a behavior, you could add a blank sprite, give it the rotation behavior, then place the hotspot on one end, and an imagepoint on the other. Then set the orbiting sprite's position to the blank's imagepoint, and set the blank to stay with the main sprite.

    You could also change the radius on the fly by changing the dimensions of the blank.

  • Hmm lets celebrate the birthday boy's day with some fireworks.

  • Have a good one!

  • You could use the rotate behavior. Simply add the behavior to the sprite you want to rotate, then set its hotspot to the distance you want it to rotate. You can then add an always event to set its position to what you want it to rotate.

  • Ha yeah that is a little nicer.

    If you want a true "beam" then you could always check out the Laser Whip made by Lucid. I think it may have an effect like what you are really looking for, though not so sure on how hard it would be to implement... I haven't checked out the cap admittedly.

    Yeah that would work if you put a sine movement on the middle part, then add another like that one that starts the opposite direction.

  • Yeah, I don't think mine even qualifies.

    I think it would have been a nice theme if we had made it for a week instead of an hour.

  • Little better, but that sound effect needs a bit of volume reduction on the end.

    Its making my teeth rattle.
