I'm sure this will be super helpful.

I've always wanted to learn how to write/modify plugins for C2, and while i know a bit of javascript, what i really need is a series of video tutorials and someone to walk me through how they are setup etc.

This will be a great tool to get a better understanding of the plugins.

Hi rexrainbow

I'm trying to figure out which of your board plugins would work best for my situation.

Imagine on a grid you can start dragging from a location, and it will highlight that spot. Then only when you drag up/down/left/right to a neighbouring grid space, that one will light up as well (unless its marked as unpassable).

So you end up creating a path, but its not doing any "pathfinding". After you release the mouse button, an object would travel that path starting from where you started dragging.

would a particular board plugin you have created simplify this for me?

thanks

Trying version 3 beta - I run node server.js and adjusting the IP in the event sheet. Then after starting the construct preview, it starts the game but no logs are showing up in the command prompt window.

i tried disabling my firewall and also adding exceptions for port 50000, and 50001 like in the video.

doesnt seem to connect to nodejs

EDIT: ok im dumb. In case anyone else runs across this issue. Make sure you are running the "Start" layout first. duh. i was running the main game one.

I was never able to get the scirra gamepad plugin to work for the amazon fire tv to get gamepad/controller support for it. Were either of you?

It was made in unity, but there's some good info on how they tackled making a complex 2D platformer

I've noticed the latest version of chrome breaks any use of "Tiled Sprite" in game. It still works fine in the latest internet explorer, but not chrome. Anyone else experiencing this?

On whatever

(Erase tile range (Tilemap.PositionToTIleX(Player.X)-1, Tilemap.PositionToTileY(Player.Y)-1, Area 3 x 3

adjust the area values to make a larger square of tiles around the players current position

In regards to your object count part of the question.

You would want to add some sort of checking event each time the user drops a block into the editor.

it would subtract the number of available blocks from the stockpile of that type of block. Then when it reaches zero, make that block type greyed out and unavailable to be picked.

edit: ok after looking back over your original question....

Your screen shot works the way you have it setup, i got confused with there being 2 different Heart shaped sprites with different names in there.

If you want to use the UID method you can, you just need to add the "picking" of the UID in a separate action line in order to target it as the one you want to change its opacity of.

eg: On Sprite X Collision with SpriteY ->

(sub event) SpriteZ.UID = (which ever UID you want to target) -> set opacity to 100

By adding the "spriteZ.UID =" to a new sub event, you are telling which object for construct to find an make actions to.

The more confusing part though is the way you might be going about trying to find an object to change its value of.

Normally you would want to save the UID of the object you collided with , not the UID of a completely different object (SpriteZ).

If sprite Z is just a healhbar or or something, then simply refer to it directly instead.

eg: On Sprite X collision with Sprite Y -> add 1 to hearthbar

You seem to be trying to change opacity of random other objects instead of one specific one.
