  • Yes the pathfinding uses the full layout, you can regenerate obstacle map to a small section but this is still kind of CPU intensive sometimes. Take a look at the 'extreme pathfinding' section here to make sure you are not making any of these mistakes. construct.net/en/blogs/construct-official-blog-1/common-mis-used-events-and-gotchas-822

  • This is just going to be a lot of guessing where it's gone wrong. Do you have set text event for both layouts or only the menu layout? Are both layouts linked to the same event sheet? Check in debug mode if the variable is correct but the text is showing 0.

  • Do you mean its set to 0 initially or you set it with events?

    Does it change correctly when you select a character then change to 0 in the new layout?

  • You can do this with a global variable for char. You can create your player object and set animations based on selected character with variables. Say char=1, 2 or 3. If you have different attacks you limit it by char=1, you do elf attacks, char=2 you do knight attacks etc.

  • For dmg above a unit you can put the txt object in a container with the enemy so when you spawn enemy it has a txt object with it that you can pin above it.

  • Good luck with this, looks great! I love the cactus enemy he's cool.

  • Yeah that's fine, for this instead of pushing at the back as described above you push to the front. When you push to the front, the old data moves down and becomes 1,0 and 1,1 and the new data becomes 0,0 and 0,1. Does that help?

  • Hi, did you purchase Construct 2 or are using the free version? You must purchase it and follow those steps : Once purchased, click the Download media bundle link in the About dialog to get the extra assets bundle

  • Hiya, I think it's because the reference instance it uses is in the 02 Mercy Please layout. I seem to recall it picks the level 0 so first in the list of layouts on the side 02 Mercy Please is the first layout. If you select all instances of block in 02 Mercy Please and disable Set Angle then it works, it's using the instances in there to set the angle to the angle of motion. Also to note you do have a mix of set angle enabled/disabled in the World layout however it's not referencing these for creating that block, setting these to Set Angle off still produces the issue because it's using a block instance somewhere in 02 layout.

  • load the enemy into memory at start of layout, either create event or have it in the layout then destroy it, that should stop a stutter on creation. If it's not this then it could just be lag when generating obstacle map across 16kx16k layout.

  • Yeah you should continue with this idea, seems interesting like a puzzle game I guess with quirky characters.

  • I will move to C3 eventually, I just love C2 for making little prototypes. When I actually finish a game I will likely buy C3 and import it at that point. :)
