  • It does quite a lot of stuff for a free product.

  • I'm also learning javascript during this to keep me motivated lol. Probably a bit too much, but why not!

  • Ah I see, no problem.

    I just had a brief look at the manual and it looks like the information is mostly here: https://www.scirra.com/manual/183/memory-usage

  • Yes that's correct. I believe each object loads into memory on a layout but once you leave that layout it is unloaded from memory, therefore you only need to load the relevant objects for that layout at any time.

    Loading all the game assets in your game on an initial layout won't work as they won't be there on the new layout. When you leave the layout you don't have to worry about any other objects being left behind unloaded, it is done automatically I think.

    The fact that there is a noticeable FPS drop on an object being created but not for future instances of that object seems like a problem with the object.

    You could try: leaving the enemy object on the layout view; when it is preloaded on moving to the layout during the game, does the FPS spike occur? Or is it just when the enemy is created/spawned?

  • Which saving to memory process are you referring to ?

  • zatyka

    true, I should stop being lazy and just buy it.

    Theme announced in 7 hours woo!

  • There isn't a decimal point on number pads is there? So you should be fine in the end environment.

  • Here it comes. I wonder if it's possible to produce a game with the trial version of C2 hmm.

  • aw just 3 billion dollars

  • Hi delusan

    You can make use of the 'Set Animation' action.

    Firstly you'll need to create the damage animation. If you double click the sprite in the main area of C2 you'll see a list of animations pop up. You can right-click here and create an animation called Damage and then drop the relevant image(s) in. This could be one or many frames.

    Then on the event sheet, wherever the logic is for taking damage, choose the action 'Set Animation' and choose the 'Damage' animation you created.

    You'll also need to create some logic for when the player is NOT taking damage, to set the animation back to the original image.

    is it because you just trigger it once and if the player and enemy are still colliding there's nothing to retrigger it? this can be solved easily by creating some debug to check what the values of isHit and isHitCooldown are doing when the player and the enemy collide. If you want me to fix it can you cut the project down to less than 100 events, thanks.
