I never used Tiled software myself. Does it have an option to save or export the map in one of these formats - TMX, XML, JSON?

In Construct 3 first you need to import tileset image into the TileMap object, adjust tile size. If you were able to get TMX file from Tiled, you can try to load it in the Tilemap toolbar. If successful, this should load your entire map.

.

If you don't have TMX file, it still may be possible to import the map. Please share whatever files you got from Tiled and I'll see what can be done.

First, I suggest making just one loop and check all buttons inside of it.

.

You need to link players with their gamepads. You can add an instance variable GamepadNo to the player sprite. When a button is pressed on gamepad #1, pick a player with GamepadNo=1 and control it.

.

Or you can do this with an array, for example X-index of the array is the player number, and the value is gamepad number. So for 4 players your array may look like this:
x=0: 3 x=1: 0 x=2: 2 x=3: 1

You fill this array at the start of the game, when you ask each player to press a button on their gamepads. Then in the game when a button is pressed on gamepad with index 1, you know that it belongs to player #3.

Gamepad index is zero-based, so if you only have one player, the loop should run from 0 to 0. For two players from 0 to 1, and so on.

Running this loop on every tick should not have any noticeable impact on performance.

You can loop through all gamepads in a loop:
For "n" from 0 to (NumberOfPlayers-1) Gamepad loopindex Button A is down...

I think it's Array.At(Array.IndexOf(105),3)

But I'm not sure if IndexOf works correctly with 2D arrays.

I can recommend CSV addon, it's very handy for accessing data from tables. For example in your case you could use CSV.At("DIALOGUE", "105")

Now I don't understand you.. Do you mean you copied the entire big map as an image and imported this image into the TileMap object?

If this is the case, it's a pretty bad solution, for many reasons..

Kiwi Story template in C3 is pretty good. There is no shooting, but you can learn a lot about creating a platformer game from it.

Also, you should be able to open Construct 2 tutorials and demos, unless they are using some addons which were not ported for C3.

It does work, but the origin image point in Red sprite is not in the center.

I also suggest adding "On drop" event with the same action.

Simple answer - make one snapshot, paste it on a Drawing Canvas, scroll to the next portion of the layout, make another snapshot, paste, scroll, snapshot, paste, scroll.. until you've covered the entire layout.

Here is a demo (you will need C2 with Paster addon):

Can Tiled software export TMX or JSON file? I don't know if it will compatible with C3, but you can try:

Also, see this post:

If RedSprite has image point in the middle, you can do this:

RedSprite set y to min(self.y, BlackBox.BboxBottom-RedSprite.height/2)

You can put this action into "Is dragging" and "On drop" events, or do this on every tick.
