  • Yep, that's what I was thinking of.

    Thanks.

  • yep, that works well, thanks dop2000.

    Wondering if I should have a separate family for static objects that can just compile z order on created in one go, rather than having a line for each object type which could get messy, then sort them in the draw order family?

  • Hey guys

    I'm trying to come up with a simple method to handle draw order in an isometric/skewed top-down project as I've never tried this in C2 (done it in GMS and GM2).

    I kind of have it working, but it's not playing nicely, working on only a single instance. So I'm thinking, is there a simple way to test this against individual instances? I was hoping there would be a command like instance.tree.y that would take each one and test them separately, but I can't get it to work.

    I've looked for documentation online and there's nothing really for how to do this in C2/3 that I could find.

    Anyway, a push in the right direction would be good.

    Cheers

  • Will do, cheers.

  • Basically, when my school ordered Construct2, the SEO signed up and paid using her cc (cc in her name but tied to school's budget), not thinking that I should probably be the one holding the account details as I run the program and am responsible for the rollout. Add to this the problem that she is no longer the SEO, this is causing a bit of a problem.

    Originally planned to cancel that sub once it finishes (September) and create a new education account in my name. Unfortunately, doing that means we have to pay more due to July's pay increase... which I only just noticed :/

    I was wondering if it's possible to transfer an education license from one account to another? Considering the school stays the same, I'm hoping it's doable.

    Cheers

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • So as long as I don't cancel my sub I should be fine?

    Sounds great!

    I actually tried out GM2 this year with my class and the whole login process was a complete nightmare. Turned me off teaching GML completely.

  • I have a textbox outputting text, however, I'd like the user to be able to click the mouse over the text and select it, then copy it to clipboard and paste into a text document.

    It seems that text objects are completely uninteractable by the user, and there's no action that copies a string to the clipboard that I can see (that would have let me work around this issue).

    Any help appreciated.

    Cheers

  • Heya,

    I felt like spending some $ so went a bought a bunch of asset bundles on the Scirra store and, rather than getting a single code for each bundle, I have about 100 separate codes. This is getting painful having to redeem each code individually, which is made worse by the delay that happens when I click redeem on each link as the site seems to hang for 10-20 seconds each time.

    Would be nice if in future these bundles get released as single codes.

    While I'm at it, if anyone has any ideas for speeding up the process, I'd love to hear it. I'm giving up for now.

  • I need 26 licenses which is about $1600au per year. I'm now at the point that I need to decide whether to continue with Construct or to completely move to GMS2 which is about $990au per year for the same amount of licenses.

    It's a shame, but at the end I can't justify that cost every 12 months for a program that gets used for a 10 week block. I'd be surprised if many schools would spend that much.

    I honestly don't know what they were thinking increasing the sub price for schools by 4 times the amount of C2.

  • If anyone's having this issue in the future, all it needed was:

    system > for each SPRITE: ARRAY set value ((SPRITE.x / 32) , (SPRITE.Y / 32)) to SPRITE.UID

    Seems to work,

  • LukeW Are you working on projects with your students that exceed the free edition's limits?

    yep.

  • Unity is an awesome tool, but it has a really steep learning curve.

    I teach game design to kids (age 12-16) and C2 is our first stop in the development process as it's elegant and has a gentle learning curve. Unity is our final destination, and a decent portion of the students don't make it there (which is fine as they can make their projects in C2 as it's all about differentiated learning).

    Would not want the two linked.
