  • I right click on the "add Action" on an event line to pull up the list of options list like, insert above, insert below, add another action etc etc.

    It could well be the cause as i've been adding a lot of comments to my code this way, come to think of it.

    Don't know what you've guys done but its become very unstable now.

  • You could have a variable with the colour value in it, change the variable at runtime, then set the text box colour based on the variable, that way you will always know what it was.

  • Haven't had a crash with construct in a long time, but the latest beta is crashing for me consistently.

  • It still appears under special offers in user accounts.

    if it was purchased before February 22nd 2018.

  • Look into lerp.

  • Maybe show a larger image of the game, so we have some context, rather than just very large dark pixels.

  • Try Construct 3

  • On sprite clicked

    - sub event - pick all sprites - set opacity to 100.

    - sub event - set opacity 60.

    On the sprite clicked event the clicked on instance is picked.

    The first sub event with the pick all sprites condition picks all instances and sets the opacity.

    The second sub event below it is still picked from the on sprite clicked event, so that sprite only gets changed to 60.

  • Another sloppier option is to have a sprite named items. Then create an instance string variable in it called item_name.

    Copy the sprite 5 times to create 5 instances. Write a different item name in each instance.

    Then do, pick a random item_name instance. Set ItemName to item_name. Destroy object.

  • You could have more than one tilemap stacked on top of each other, each one would be a different tile state, like normal, cracked etc, but only make that specific tile visible when needed, make its other states in the stack invisible.

    Or else use one tilemap for the normal state, then when it gets cracked make that tile invisible and create a sprite for that tile in its place, that way only damaged tiles are sprites?

  • Yes, i've done this before.

    Essentially you need to split the map up into small segments that are larger than the screen, then reposition the segments as the player moves between them.

    Example, imagine your character walks from left to right. You would have 3 segments to the map, 1, 2 and 3.

    The character starts on segment 2, when the player reaches segment 3, segment 1 repositions after 3, so the map now looks like, 2,3,1. etc. When he crosses to 1, segment 2 repositions, so 3,2,1 etc.

    It gets a bit more complicated with all 4 directions, but the concept is the same.

    Also all objects need to be pinned to a segment when it repositions, or else simply position objects on a segment based on that segments relative x,y position.

  • Some times i'm sad because when i've spend a long time overcoming a problem, or found a really elegant way of coding something, i know no one will ever get to see it but me, or when they play the game appreciate what it took to make it work.
