Thanks, I'll give it a go.

Hi

I am really struggling with events. I am trying to write one where it checks whether one of the player 1's counters is currently overlapping another player 1 counter, or a player 2 counter, or has been dropped back on the same spot as when it started. I was wondering whether someone could answer:

1. If the condition in the event says "Player 1" (for example) - is that the instance that has been selected by the player or is it some general sprite? For example, I have an event where "player 1 is overlapping player 2".

2. If I want to compare an instance variable on a counter with the UID of a sprite on the background, how can I find the sprite over which the player 1 instance is hovering?

Hope this makes sense and any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Hi

I'm Matthew from Norfolk and am currently writing my first two games in Construct 2. I've some experience in programming but this is going to be a good challenge! Thanks to everyone who has helped me so far!

Excellent, thanks!

Hi

I'm used to coding in C# and for my latest game, I want to check whether the player has won or not after each turn. Normally I would consider creating a method to do this (and which could be called from a number of places) but I'm not sure how this might be implemented within Construct 2? I know how to create simple events but they seem a bit too simple - or I'm probably missing something - on how to check that three counters are lined up (for example)?

Thanks for any help.

Thanks very much! I've managed to get the counters to now drop into place.

Are there any pick nearest/touch examples at all?

Thanks for the help - it's very useful. I've tried that but the sprites either don't snap or end up on top of each other at one place (snapped). I think I may need to specify a particular cell somehow.

Hi

I have a sprite for my board game and 9 positions that it can go on top of. I am using drag and drop but am struggling to drop the piece on one of the 9 defined cells rather than a gap in between. I would like the piece to be snapped to the nearest cell that it can go on when dropped - should I be using pick nearest in some way?

Any help gratefully received!

Thanks

Matt

Thanks, I'm just wondering at the moment whether to make my "spots" (where the counters land) to be instances or a family and how to reference them all within events - such as movement.

Thanks that's great - I'll test it out tonight.

Hi

I used the duplicate sprite feature (holding ctrl to copy more) - are they instances or sprites?

Thanks
