  I’m pretty new to Construct 3, and I’m currently working on a 2 player racing game inspired by elements of Subway Surfers and Mario Kart. The game is top down and the track only moves in a straight line, similar to Subway Surfers.

  The main issue I’m having is keeping both players on screen. Right now, players can go off screen very easily. I tried making a separate sprite act as a camera boundary that pins to a player when touched, but the solution feels really clunky and doesn’t work well.

  What I’d like to achieve is something similar to how the camera works in the FC/FIFA games, where the camera smoothly zooms out when players move too far apart so both stay visible on screen.

  Does anyone have advice on how to approach this in Construct? Maybe a better camera system, dynamic zoom setup, or another solution that would work better for this type of game? Any help would be appreciated.

  Set up an Array and put each line of dialogue into a separate cell in order. Then make a variable called DialogueIndex starting at 0. Set your Text object to show the array value at that index. After that, make an event for left mouse click that adds 1 to DialogueIndex and then updates the Text object to the next array cell, so each click just moves the text down the list like a visual novel.

  Hope this is what your looking for and helps!
