  • Hi, we are about to launch Summer Camps using Construct. We have a bunch of computers and we want to make it so the students essentially have NO access to anything outside of Construct. Since we are required to give Construct access to the internet once a week to keep the license intact, we do need to have Construct connected. I've read that this can be done with Firewalls but since Construct runs in a browser, I imagine there might be some nuance that I haven't figured out yet. Has anybody tried this or have any advice about how to do this? Thanks!

  • Hi, I've been fighting with tilemaps for a while and I'm having trouble getting used to it after moving from a different game engine. I kinda understand works in theory, but I find myself constantly clicking the wrong thing and unable to get into an intuitive creative workflow. Please share your tips, and let me know if I have something completely wrong.

    When tilemaps are on different layers and I want to switch from one to the other, Is this how you’re supposed to do it?:

    1. Make sure any layer with a tilemap above the layer I want to work on is locked so I don’t click on the wrong tilemap object in step 3

    2. Click the layer I want to work on

    3. Click the tilemap object in the layout

    4. Click the drawing tool

    5. Click the tile I want to draw

    6. Draw tiles

    Am I missing something or is this the intended workflow? So many clicks.

    More questions:

    - When I drag a tilemap from the Project bar into the layout, it copies the tiles I’ve drawn from another instance of that tilemap, then I have to erase all those tiles. Why doesn’t it give me a blank instance of that tilemap to start from scratch? Is this normal?

    - Can I lock a tilemap’s position ONLY so I don’t accidentally drag the entire environment around when I misclick a smaller object?

    - Is it helpful to work with multiple overlapping tilemaps on the same layer? I thought trying that might save a few clicks but I can’t even select the tilemaps without locking tilemaps that are higher in the Z order, so essentially the same issue as before.

    Thank you SO much for any advice.
