  • This has been brought up a million times and there has never really been a definitive solution. We desperately need some more options here! Ideally we could do something like...

    +If Instance (with value of x) collides with Instance (with value of y)

    -Pick Instance (with value of x) and do this

    -Pick Instance (with value of y) and do that

    You might be able to pull it off with functions or something but eh...good luck.

  • In CC I would do this by creating a pallete image/object and using the Image Manipulator to pick up the colors of pixels + offsets, then apply them to an object via color replace shader. C2 doesn't have an image manipulator though so you'll have to input the color indexes manually...which probably isn't worth the trouble.

  • Eh it sounds like something that would have to be built into C2. Here is how I handle metroidvanias (overview in the video description)

  • This is a "basic" Metroid: Zero Mission engine I developed as a base for an original title, and to see if a metroidvania could be built in Construct 2 without a custom/external editor, dynamic room loading, culling, 3rd party plugins, etc. Sure can! There is an overview in the video description for those who are interested in doing something similar.

  • If you're going for a metroidvania like SM then you just have to treat individual layouts as rooms and learn how to use the persist behavior & global objects. It's not that hard, really...just not a very good way of going about it. You don't really have a choice with C2 though.

  • This is honestly the best C2 game I've played. Great music, level design, gameplay, well polished. Very impressive for only 3 days. Great job guys

  • None. All I want to see is the improvement and elaboration of existing features. There are so many things that barely pass as finished.

  • This is redonk. Should just be able to store multiple named images in a single TiledBG. Same for tilemaps...

  • I learned it in a MMF tutorial years ago. There are probably more sensible ways of doing it but whatever, it works. The idea is that even though the bullet is moving, say, 5px per tick, collisions are being checked for each pixel it moves.

  • (Pixel perfect or instant-hit bullets)

    +Bullet.count > 0

    +For "" from 0 to 5

    -Move Bullet 60*dt in angle of Bullet

    +On loop ""

    +Bullet collides with solid

    -Destroy bullet

  • Again, I am using sprite objects acting as tiles (animations as tilesets, frames as tiles) as Ashley & Rexrainbow suggested. This was fine at first, but now that we have many tilesets there's A LOT to load, causing preview times to be upwards of 20 seconds.

    My solution was to no longer use sprite objects acting as tiles and instead use the tilemap object (which didn't exist at the time we built most of our levels) but it's impossible to get that working with TMX Importer due to the tilemap object's limitations (one tilemap per tilemap object, etc.).

    So, again, if we could just have the tilemap object support multiple tilemaps, and the ability to place any of those tiles on a single canvas, problem solved! I'm not really sure how Ashley expected 1 tilemap per object to be enough in the first place!
