I will try it again. I really didn't give it enough time to get used to it, to be fair. :)

I played it for a minute, but I couldn't get a grasp on the controls. It was awkward to me.

I haven't taken the time to officially introduce myself yet, so I suppose I will now.

My name is J.C. Wigriff. If my website's bio is to be believed (a dubious presumption), I am a level 72 writer, guitarist, columnist, gamer, and alchemist, versed in the art of vernacular assaults, acrimony, and with a weakness for Cadbury Creme Eggs. I also excel at run-on sentences. And starting sentences with conjunctions. And sarcasm.

I have been gaming since about 1987, when I got my first NES. I have been daydreaming and fantasizing about making games ever since. I never thought I had the ability though, to be honest. I wasn't terribly proficient at programming due to a severe allergy to anything related to mathematics (I tend to break out in hives and my airway swells shut), and while I was fairly decent at drawing and art related things I never felt I was "good enough" to make anything worth a damn.

Getting old changes things though, and you tend to stop caring what other people think. You start farting in public, you sometimes wear your pajamas to the grocery store, or � in my case � make games in your spare time that other people will inevitably see.

With Construct 2 being my engine of choice, you will probably end up being my guinea pigs. Lucky you. :)

A good rule of thumb is to never reply to any email asking you for any information ever. ;)

—: The game looks amazing! I love the block aesthetics!

Solved!

First, set up your character animations like this:

<img src="http://i42.tinypic.com/zbja1.jpg" border="0" />

0 = right

1 = down-right

2 = down

3 = down-left

4 = left

5 = up-left

6 = up

7 = up-right

You will do this for both idle and running animations, obviously.

Then set up events like this:

<img src="http://i44.tinypic.com/dmv4ea.jpg" border="0" />

The first set controls your key movements. The bottom commands control the animations.

For idle: "idle"&self.a

For running: ceil(8*(1+Player.8Direction.MovingAngle/360)-0.5)%8

                             and

             "run"&self.a

I think I'm going to redo it all from the ground up using the Diablo example, but having key controls instead of point-and-click mouse controls. I don't know if it will work or not, and it will take awhile, so I will have to wait until I get off work tonight to try. I'll post the results.

I have found 3 ways to make the Up-Left (W+A) animation to trigger, but it stays stuck in the first frame. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to get it to play from keyboard triggers.

Here are the movement events as they sit now:

This doesn't work either. I have tried about 10 other ways as well, and they all end up with the first frame of the "UpLeft" animation frozen on the first frame. *shrug*

OP: We will get this worked out eventually. lol

It does this even if "Every Tick" isn't the method used, but I will give it a shot.

**Update: No dice.

The animation doesn't move past the first frame no matter how I do it. *shrug*

That doesn't work either, and "Else" isn't valid when used in that event chain.
