  • I'm trying to make a game that would work on PC with mouse and on mobile with touch, so I'm using both plugins. Touch plugin has "Use mouse input=YES", because I want it to handle most touch and left click events in the project.

    But I still need to be able to distinguish between left mouse click and touch - to update the UI, hints etc. What's the best way to do it?

    At the moment I have this:

    But I'm worried it may not work on some devices.

  • ilanfl You need to use dt for opacity too, otherwise the object will disappear/appear almost instantly, especially at high framerates. 

    If Player is moving: 
.. Set TimeElapsed to 0
.. Obj set opacity to self.opacity+dt*100

Else 
.. Add dt to TimeElapsed 

If TimeElapsed>3 
.. Obj set opacity to self.opacity-dt*50

  • I think citron2010 meant to ask if you are making a game or just an image? An image would be easier to create in any graphic editor.

    In Construct you can do this, if you need a clock with 60 segments: 

    Repeat 60 times:
 Create Sprite
 Rotate Sprite (loopindex*6) degrees

  • That may be a coordinate from a different layer. Try using Touch.X(layer) expression.

  • random(100) returns a random number from 0 to 100.

    random(100)<50 condition would mean 50% chance.

    random(100)<20 condition is 20% chance.

    random(100)<1 condition is 1% chance.

    By changing the number you can change the odds.

  • When using "While" loops I always add this condition to prevent infinite loops:

    loopindex<100000

    So even if you create an infinite loop by accident, at least it won't freeze.

  • If the task is not to spawn too close to the player, you can in first condition filter all spawn points by distance, then pick a random one among them:

    System pick Spawn by evaluate distance(Spawn.x, Spawn.y, player.x, player.y)>200

    System pick random Spawn

  • Everything is possible of course. You can pick all objects in the inventory, loop through inventory slots moving each object to a new slot.

  • Can be global, or it can be an instance variable on the button for example.

  • For example: 

    Variable odds=50

On button clicked 

.. If random(100)<Odds : // success
.. Else : // fail

.. Subtract 10 from odds

    Every click will reduce the odds by 10%. Starts at 50%, and after 5 clicks will be zero.

  • You can move multi tile map squares at once but I want each one to count as a "turn."

    Do you want to allow moving multiple tiles at once? Then calculate the distance, divide by tile size and you get the number of turns. Add it to the variable.

  • I have never heard about a Scratch game, and google doesn't know about it either. Did you mean Scrabble by any chance?
