  • You can't do that in construct, since it runs with html5/javascript and it would be a security violation to let stuff that runs on a webpage simulate keystrokes as if the user pressed it.

    To do it you'd have to use something much lower level that has access to the winapi, and even then simulating a keystroke in another program is kind of hacky.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

  • [quote:2sz57ylx]So how do you do it then?

    You could add 1 to Play_time instead of 0.1 and whenever you want to look at the value divide by 10.

    Someone made a plugin here:

    But I don't know if it has the level of features you're looking for.

  • I was referencing event numbers in the last capx you posted. To fix it, add a "pick all spite" condition above the "for destroy" loop in the same block.

    Before that fix or even phimaka's function solution, the loop did run, only it wouldn't destroy any other sprites other than the rightmost one because it was the only one that was picked before the "destroy" loop.

  • Does the microsoft browser work?

    Besides addons you'll have to look in your browser's settings to see if javascript is disabled. By default it wouldn't be disabled, so presumably your friend disabled it, or some antivirus/security software he uses disabled it.

    As an example for chrome I found it under settings->advanced settings->context settings...

    In the javascript section there are settings to disable it completely or block or allow certain sites.

  • It's not a bug it's the way picking works.

    Event 4 picks only the sprite overlapping the Scan object, so in the sub event 7 you'll only be checking for an overlap with that sprite. If you want to check for overlaps with all the sprites then functions work since what's picked isn't passed to the function. Another idea would be to use the "pick all" condition.

  • You could use a regex search i suppose. Find in C2 uses a regex.

    You could also use the javascript "indexOf" to do it. It's case sensitive.

    global text variable="Aa"

    start of layout

    Text: set text to Browser.execJS("'"&variable&"'.indexOf('a')")

    Hey that sounds pretty cool.

    megatronx

    I guess he could by generating it on the fly with webauido, but from the sounds of it he's using something else to program directly with a dsp chip on the soundcard.

    For everything except paste the coordinates to draw at are relative to a unrotated canvas.

    To have the point be the right spot you could use this equation to rotate around the canvas' center by the canvas' angle:

  • If you mean properties for your plugin you can specify the type as integer or float:

    Otherwise all numbers in javascript are double.

  • I can't open your link. Put spaces in the url or put it in 

     tags.

Usually typical random is too noisy to be smooth.  Using perlin noise is one option to have smooth noise.  Another is to generate the noise at a lower resolution and interpolate to a higher resolution.

Squidster's go faster uses the second idea.

For the first you could look here:

It uses the noisejs plugin

  • Presumably you can access and change the collision polygon at runtime with the sdk. Yann's "polygon" plugin changes the collision polygon as I recall. You could reference that for an example.
