  • 8-direction is mostly used in top-down games. Frankly, I have never seen Platform and 8-direction being used together in one object.

    You can change the maximum Platform speed with events. Set a higher speed when grappling, then reset back to normal walking speed.

  • Why do you use Platform and 8-direction behaviors on the same objects? I don't think they work together well.

    I would suggest moving the character and blocks using Platform actions only.

  • I replied you in PM.

  • Set s to left(s, 2) & "X" & right(s, len(s)-3)

    If you are sure that there is only one occurrence of the character in the string (or if you want to replace all letters "D" with "X"), you can use replace() expression:

    Set s to replace (s, "D", "X")

  • Do you reset continuecheck and countdown timer at the start of the layout/level?

    Try running your game in debug mode (ctrl-F4) and see what's going on with this variable, countdown variable, layer visibility etc.

    If nothing helps, share your capx.

  • First, if you are using "Check item exists", you don't need "Get" and "On item get".

    You can access LocalStorage.ItemValue from the "On item exists" event.

    But this should not cause any issues.

    Most problems with local storage happen when people don't wait for Set Item action to finish before reading the same item from local storage.

    For example - at the end of the level 1 you save some item into local storage and then change layout to level 2.

    On start of level 2 you Get the same item from local storage. If you don't wait for Set action to finish before switching to the next layout, then there is a big chance that the item will be read incorrectly.

    Another common mistake is when people don't wait for the Get action to finish before trying to access this data.

    For example:

    Get item "HighScore"

    Score Set text to HighScoreVar

    Use "Local Storage -> On all gets complete" and "Local Storage -> On all sets complete" and "System-Signal", "System-Wait for signal" to properly organize your flow of events.

  • You are misusing "Trigger once" condition, and this is what probably causing those problems..

    Your event 912 makes little sense, because you are checking a system variable, picking enemies instances and looping through them, and have "Trigger once" as the last condition, all in one event. It's impossible to tell how this will work.

    Here is how I would change it:

    Ctrl_Lock=1
Trigger once
    Enemies Y>10
    Enemies locable=1
    Enemies locked=0
    For each Enemies 
[/code:8m3olk1i]

Notice that I moved all picking conditions (Y>10, lockable=1, locked=0) before the For each loop. This reduces the number of instances that will be processed by the For each loop.

Also I suggest using sub-events, they make the code better structured and easier to understand.

In event 913 you don't really need the For each loop, you can remove it.

Event 914:
[code:8m3olk1i]
Ctrl_Lock=1
    Enemies locked=0
    Enemies strength<25
    For each Enemies 
       lockTarget UIDLink=Enemies.UID -> lockTarget  set frame to 1
[/code:8m3olk1i]

Event 915:
[code:8m3olk1i]Enemies locked=1
Enemies destroyed=1
For each Enemies 
       lockTarget UIDLink=Enemies.UID -> lockTarget  destroyed
[/code:8m3olk1i]

  • This is not how this forum works.. Searching for bugs is your job, and if you don't know how fix them, then you post your questions here and someone will help you.

    Also, the link to your project file is broken. Try posting it without the "https://" part.

  • Ok, go ahead..

  • The first event is correct.

    But I'm pretty sure that the second event won't work if you build several building at the same time.

    System-Trigger Once doesn't work per instance, it is a global condition. Once it's true for any building, this event will not be triggered again when you start construction of another building.

    There are many ways you can fix this - you can convert this event to a function and call it once when the building starts. Or you can rename this instance variable to "Building_Progress" and use different values for it: 0-planning, 1-construction started, 2-in construction, 3- construction finished etc.

  • No worries!

  • Try moving the Origin image point in the sprite to the bottom of the image. Then it should grow up.
