    Is there a way to animate an icon?

  • Hi everyone is there a way with BBCode or some other way to insert a sprite/emoji/graphic into a text string?

    For example, I have a speech bubble with a global text string that advances to the next paragraph using ...More^ and the next function command.

    I'd like to have instead of ... have a small arrow like an emoji pointing to the word more.

    Even better being able to insert a sprite would be amazing. This way if I reference pressing a button I could include the graphic of that button in the text.

    Finally I did see a dialog speech bubble once that had asked a question at the end of the text string that prompted a Yes No or clickable button. Branching off into a conversation.

    For example the character asks:

    Hi would you like to A or B

    Then a button for A and another for B would appear inside the speech bubble.

    Depending on which button was pressed either it would branch into another text and possibly another branch or when the other button was pressed a goto layout happened.

    Like the character saying something like 'Do you want to go to the cave with me?' then that would trigger going to the cave layout and events.

  • Perfect thanks!

  • Hi everyone. I've tried several ways to do this but can't get it right.

    I have buttons (Sprites) that when touched I want to just scale it down slightly to indicate it was pressed then revert back to its original size.

    When I try to set size or scale the button/sprite shifts position instead of staying centered and just getting slightly smaller.

    For some reason buttons/sprites shift.

  • Thanks.

    This is such a great forum and community.

    Everyone helping each other.

    I look forward to paying if forward.

  • Does construct 3 take standard BBCode?

    I wasn't aware of that.

    Thanks

  • How would I activate that in another global string?

  • THANK YOU!

    I really appreciate all your help.

    You're awesome!

  • Hi everyone.

    In a Variable String is there a way to have a line break and change text color?

  • Nevermind I found it.

    Crazy I'll post a question then stumble after looking for an hour on the answer.

    For those like me that did not know. Use insert new object and scroll to browser.

  • I want to add a button that when touched will open my website.

    I've searched this forum but can't find anything about this.

    Thanks

  • I figured it out. For those that need to do this there is an option when you set frame. Type random.

  • Hi everyone, is there a way to stop an animation on a random frame or advance it one frame when a button is clicked?

    I have a fortune cookie animation where the first two frames it opens and frames 3 to 16 are the actual fortunes.

    I'd like to have a button that when clicked shows the first two frames then one of the random fortunes.

    I could make the first two frames (The cookie cracking open) a separate sprite then turn it off and show one of the fortunes But I still need to randomize or advance through the 14 frames of different fortunes.

  • I've been monkeying with your file and trying to get it to work with multiple buttons.

    The objective is the have a 'feelings' level where kids can tap on a 'feelings' button and get some tips on how to deal with those feelings via a speech bubble.

    I uploaded everything in case you wanted to take a look at my particular files.

  • Wow! Thank you so much. You've been so helpful.

    I really appreciate it.

    I'll incorporate it when I get home after work.
