2 player top down shooter help

Hi, This is actually my first post to this forum and I'm new to Construct.

I have searched the forum for an answer, but couldn't find any..

I'm making a 2 player top down shooter for my first project.

The controls for each player is going to have 8 directional movement.

The controls for player one, are the directional arrow keys.

The controls for player two, are 'w a s t' on the keyboard layout.

I have fount that using the 8 direction under behavior is working just perfect, but..

My problem is that direction keys controls player two aswell.

So I was going to change that. But.. The only way I saw possible to change the controls for the behavior were under the application properties..

How can I use the 8 direction behavior for both player 1 and 2 with different controls?

I will really appretiate any help with this.

Thanks in advance

Short answer: Construct doesn't have 2 player controls support yet.

Longer answer: You can "Set ignoring input" on the player 2 object, and manually move the object with the 8 Direction behavior's actions. Here's an example:

Move player 1 with arrows. Move player 2 with WASD.

You won't get the full benefit of the turning and angling and such that the 8 Dir behavior normally has without some custom events, though.

Edit:

Also, for some weird reason, it seems player 2 is slightly slower than player 1 even though they should be going the same speed... strange. I guess I'll have to report that as a bug.

Ok, I will try this.

Thanks for the quick answer
