Uhm, why write "extremely difficult" for something such easy to make, just because you don't know how?

Use some lerps, invisible objects and you are fine. If you need help, don't try to clickbait people.

Hello!

I am currently working on an online platformer, and many players are giving me feedback about inconsistent dash distances, both for them and for their enemy.

For movement, I just use the integrated Platform behavior and not using any DT at all in that event.

It works like:

On Button pressed:

Set dash to 1

If dash == 1

Simulate pressing right/left

Add 10000 to acceleration and deceleration

Add 200 to speed

Wait 0.1

Subtract 10000 from acceleration and deceleration

Subtract 200 from speed

Do I need to consider adding dt somewhere?

Might it be that acceleration in Construct doesn't consider delta time?

If you don't care about the people cheating, why even bothering then?

It's their decision if they want their fun destroyed, they problably DO have fun cheating. Otherwise they wouldn't do it.

I think you are certainly going into a completely wrong direction. You can't dictate a player that he won't have fun cheating, because he is missing all those "I did it!" moments. He definitely knows that he bypasses those intentionally, so you should not bother about cheaters.

If your game would be either online or have certain important unlockables, cheater might be a bigger problem. But if not, just keep working on the game.

I tried it right now and it's actually quite simple, using Blend mode effects. The capx is attached here.

1. You create a layer for both the text and the color object.

- Set "Transparent" to "yes".

- Set "Blend mode" to "source atop".

- You can now also create other layers e.g. below that layer if you want a background.

2. Create a Sprite-box for the color. (Just wide box that can cover the text's width)

- "Blend mode" of Color-box to "Source in"

3. Create your text.

- "Blend mode" of the text stays "Normal".

4. Both the text and the color-box are now on the same layer. Color-box needs to be ABOVE the text in the

z-order.

I also implemented a fast movement event for the blue bar, so it can it goes to the next line after the first one is finished. The Color-box has the Bullet behavior right now.
