  • You can add images for level 2 as animations to the same sprites. But a better option would be using families. For example, if you have different monster sprites on level 1 and 2, add them all to the same Enemies family. Configure instance variables and behaviors on the family. And use the family in all events.

  • You definitely don't need to duplicate any content. The beauty of Construct is that everything may be reusable - objects, layers, events.

    Two levels in the game can share many resources. For example, layers like background or HUD can be set as Global. This way you only need to create it once on the first layout.

    Add instances of objects, don't clone them! If you have a zombie on level 1 and want to add a zombie on level 2, just drag&drop the same object, don't create Zombie2 sprite.

    Also, set the same event sheet for both layouts. If any events need to be different on level 2 for example, you can add specific conditions, for example "If LevelNumber=2 ....."

  • Try Construct 3

  • You don't need to set them immovable or wait, creating a joint should be instant.

    Check out this demo:

  • There is a desktop app.

    But believe me, it has more problems than the web version. I've been using it for several years, but it became practically unusable lately, so I had to switch back to web.

  • You need to change project ID.

  • Xangetor Please check that you've imported GestureRecognizer.js into Script folder and set "Purpose=Import for events" for this script (on the Properties panel)

  • There is probably some issue with project properties. Maybe the project name contains an invalid character, or some file is missing, or something similar.

    Are you using C3 build service? Can you share your project?

  • It's just a hunch, but try checking that you have all the required icon sizes in Icons folder. Click on each file and make sure that it's set as "App icon". If you are using a loading logo or storyboard splash, add these images too and set their Purpose property correctly.

  • I don't understand - you expect that people will be running your game without closing it for several months?

    You can use Date object, use Date.GetMonth(Date.now) expression to get current month number. For example 0 is January, 1 is February etc.

  • That's how I originally did this. However, like I said, the tilemaps are large and complex, and updated often. Many tiles have custom collision polygons, many tiles have disabled collisions. Maintaining cloned copies of these tilemaps just for collisions will be difficult.

  • Did it actually work? Collision polygons from these tilemaps no longer visible in the layout editor? Did it improve the performance too?

  • You'll have add this block for each tile: 

    		"0": {
			"collisionPoly": {
				"points": [
					0,
					0,
					1,
					0,
					1,
					1,
					0,
					1
				]
			},
			"useCollisionPoly": false
		}

    So if there are 10000 tiles in the tilemap, you have to repeat it 10000 times. I don't think it's a good idea to be honest.

  • Yeah, that's what we were telling you from the beginning. That's why I suggest checking variable values using Browser Log, you would've seen the issue straight away.

  • Sorry, try this one:

    (Overheat / 6) * (max(WeaponLevel,100) - 100) ^(1.5 * ((max(WeaponLevel,100) - 100) / 10) /2)

  • Try this:

    Save TextBox.TextHeight to a variable.

    Temporarily increase textbox height (for example to 1000px) and save TextBox.TextHeight to another variable, then revert textbox to its original height.

    Compare two variables. If their values are the same, then the text fits. If the second value is bigger, it means the text doesn't fit.
