  • This looks like a bug, and not a very difficult one to fix. I'll look into it.

    For this kind of things the best is to open an issue in our issue tracker. https://github.com/Scirra/Construct-3-bugs/issues

    Follow the template to fill out a bug report and you should be good to go. In this case you have everything needed for a good report. A description, reproduction steps, what is happening and what you expect to happen. An example project is not needed to show the issue and there is no crash, so those parts of the template can be skipped.

  • psychoanima I did see this post about a month ago :P

    I implemented scaling animations in the next beta, so you should be able to try that out soon.

    I will implement the second suggestion as well as it sounds sensible, but I have a question. You say you changed the step to 0.04 seconds to achieve 25 fps animations, were you using Step Animation Mode as well?

    I ask because if you don't and the Animation mode is left at default, the step value is not applied at runtime. Or did you just set the step to help with the preview while editing?

  • I was about to suggest changing the origin myself, I think that is the best way to achieve that, anything else seems awkward.

  • I put together this simple example using the pin behaviour. You can drag the blue sprite to see that the green one follows it maintaining the relative positioning.

  • Expect to see something addressing this issue in the next beta.

  • I am not quite sure what is going on, but it is definitely a bug.

    I have a feeling the problem is that the timeline animation doesn't work well with the sprite animation constantly making changes to the width and height of the instance. It seems to work better if all the animation frames are of the same size, but even if you do that, it is still not perfect.

    In short, I don't think you are doing anything wrong, this needs to be fixed.

  • Do you have a test project showing the problem? Or the project you are working on if you don't mind sharing it.

  • If you plan on having multiple instances of the same timeline, you need to remember that the only way of doing so is by using the Set Instance action before playing a timeline.

    If you don't, the timeline will always affect the instance(s) that were used in the editor to create it.

    There is an example project in the start page, showing how to use the Set Instance action.

  • Abwuds

    That is correct.

    If you just play a timeline, Construct assumes you want to play the timeline that was created in the editor. This means it will only work with the specific instance that was used in the editor to create the animation.

    When you use Set Instance what you are doing is replace the instance/s used in the editor, with something else, that means the animation can be used elsewhere.

    It's a rather important action, maybe it should be highlighted.

  • You could create a function that used the Javascript Date object, and with that get the day of the week. It is also possible to do the calculation to extract the day from the current unix time using Construct's unixtime expression, but I think it is much easier to use the Date object.

    Bellow is an example project showing a function that returns the current day of the week. Notice that the day is returned as a number between 0 and 6. So the results are like this:

    • Sunday = 0
    • Monday = 1
    • Tuesday = 2
    • Wednesday = 3
    • Thrusday = 4
    • Friday = 5
    • Saturday = 6

    If you are interested in what else you can do with the Date object, you can check the full documentation from Mozilla here.

  • Por favor postea en ingles, es mas facil obtener ayuda de esa forma, el resto de los usuarios lo hacen y muchos de ellos tampoco hablan ingles. Si no hablas/escribis ingles, te podes ayudar con Google Translate, no es perfecto, pero funciona bastante bien para hacerse entender. Podes postear tu mensaje original y una traduccion debajo.

    En cuanto a tu problema, lo mejor es postear lo que tenes hasta el momento, tu proyecto o una captura de pantalla con los eventos que no funcionan como queres. De esa forma es mucho mas facil obtener ayuda.

    This is an english forum, we appreciate if all our users post in english. If you can't speak english, try using Google translate, it is not perfect but works pretty well. You can post your original message and a translation below.

    As for your problem, the best is to post what you got now, your project or a screenshot showing the events that are not working as you would like them to.

    To anyone reading this that might want to help, he wants to make something like Megaman's charge shot.

  • Under the hood a Tween is a Timeline, as in they use the same code. The Tween behaviour was a nice by-product of developing the Timeline feature. At the time of it's development, a lot of users had been requesting a built in Tween behaviour for Construct for a while, the Timeline feature was not quite ready yet, but it was good enough to re-purpose it's internals, and thus the Tween Behaviour came to be :P

    If you think about it, there is only one thing which is unique to Tweens, and that is the Value Tween. You could do something similar by animating an instance variable in a Timeline, it's just not as obvious. Maybe in the future Timelines will support using a value property track, it is not high priority though.

    To sum it up, Tweens are limited Timelines, anything you can do with a Tween can be done with a Timeline. They offer less functionality, but in exchange are easier to use. Sometimes you just want to get something done quickly, and a tween will get the job done most of the time. If you find that tween's are not quite making the cut though, then you might want to try Timelines.
