Which bone animation tool are you using? Spriter Pro allows you to import the animation to construct - this way you don't need each frame as an image, you just need your base image and construct will do the bone movements like Spriter Pro would do.

1920x1080 is like the whole screen. Are you doing full screen scenes? Just animate individual obects in your tool and compose them to a scene in construct, that way is much more efficient. Otherwise you will have redundant image data in you game (like the same huge background image saved in every one of the 70 frames of an animation).

You could save the status of an object in an array (it's like a table) and export this array as a JSON string to local storage. Next time you start the game, you can check for existing ones in local storage and offer the option to "load" these, acting like a savegame.

Hi folks,

I'm trying to read a JSON-File into an array on an HTML5-export. Works fine on the home computer, doesn't work on the server. The file is imported into the project, but I also tried the URL-import with the file on the server (including reading-rights for all users for that file). The rest of the project works fine.

Could there be a reason on the server side? Does AJAX require any special services? Javascripts in general work fine (like pathfinding). Any ideas?

Yep, you could use hitboxes. You can make image points in your enemy sprite and attach the hitboxes to these points. Use a every x seconds (like 0.2 or something, you don't need to refresh this every tick/60 times a second - 5 or 10 times a second is enough) condition to update position and scale of the hitboxes. If you enemy has several animation, you would have to set the points for every image in the animation and update the condition with the framerate of said animation.

Or you could do it like a boss and use a bone animator like spriter pro, which would allow you to build and animate your enemy in body parts. If you import this spriter animation with the construct plugin, you can click on each body part without additional hitboxes.

So I did miss something :) Works great now, thanks a lot dop2000!

Of course, the "Regenerate Pathfinding Obstacle Map"-Event. Thanks a lot!

Hi,

I would love to know if there is a way to set just a certain color or colors in a sprite to transparent. Since the Replace Color effect can change e.g. something red in a sprite to yellow, I wonder if it could make certain parts of a sprite transparent. If yes, how? Or is there another way (besides doing a sprite animation) or effect to achieve this?

Hi there,

I was wondering if it is possible to prevent (full or partly) transparent tiles in a tilemap to "erase" formerly placed tiles from the same tilemap on the same layer?

Reason: I'm working on an isometric tilemap. The backround tiles are rhombus(diamond)-shaped and if I want to place them seamlessly, they erase parts of the formerly placed tiles next to them.

Yes, I could place two identical tilemaps where one is shiftet 50% of its tile size to the side. Thst would work, but it would be a hassle to switch between them.

Many thanks!
