But if you are wanting to call on the name of an animation, you need to make sure it returns the actual text name so that text can be applied when we use the Set Animation To action command later. If you stored Animation into an array cell and call on it later, it's going to return whatever value Animation has in it. The former is a string and the latter is a variable. When you reference the name of the animation, it's by way of a text label, and C2 will recognize the difference between "Animation" and Animation. In the value field for each cell, make sure you include quotation marks (""). So an array with 3 cells would have indices of 0, 1, and 2. The following pop up.er, pops up.Īrrays have cells, compartments for storing data, and are each labeled with an index number. Because we only have a one-dimensional array, select Set at X. Select IdleAnimationSelect (or whatever you named your Array. Because 60 ticks is roughly one second, I set the range up to approximately 5 seconds (300 ticks / 60 ticks per second = 5 seconds).Ģ.
Random(,) returns a number from valueA upto but not including valueB. So a random number of 3.2484857 would return a value of 3 due to the influence of int( ). The int(random(1,301)) takes only the inter value of whatever random number - including the decimal value - that is generated. Select System, set value of IdleTick to int(random(1,301)). We basically declared it near the beginning of this tutorial, so you're already set!įor each click of Add Action (per Event condition(s) as noted in the image above):ġ.
This is because the Array already exists as an object, just waiting to be used.to lonely. Notice that we didn't declare the Array like we did the IdleTick variable. The name implies that the Array will be used as a reference to some animations I've created that will play during the character idle period. In my game, I've already created an Array named IdleAnimationSelect, but of course you can name it whatever works for you. Right-click in the Objects pane (usually oriented on the right-side of the C2 editor). but don't be afraid to ask for help if you get totally lost.

This tutorial will make some assumptions that you know how to navigate through the basics of C2. But that's okay we're just going to declare a few things to start. While the animations you'll use in your game will be selected randomly, the instructions you have to give C2 must be quite specific. Keep in mind that I'm using the beta release 115, and there might also be some minor differences to icon images or labels by the time you read this tutorial.or perhaps not! This is to help accommodate the beginners.
In some pictures I'll be referencing things that show the final result even as I walk you through the steps to help you see what the result ought to be. I want to make sure everyone is on par as we move on. As you'll see, I'm working on a platform-oriented game, but you can tweek the Event conditions to suit your purposes since the highlight will be on the use of the Array to call a random animation into motion. What we're going to be doing here is setting up a kind of countdown (count up?) to play a random animation while your character is standing idle. But for those looking to use Arrays, we continue.) (I admit that Weishaupt's example may be much easier to implement than mine. Weishaupt has a similar tutorial for a random call to animations using the random( ), tokenat( ), and tokencount( ) instructions. If you're not familiar with Arrays, you can get oriented with them via the Construct 2 manual, or this beginners' tutorial by ramones. And that's what my tutorial and everyone else's are here for - to help you succeed and have fun! I can assure you that the joy of success is looming close by if you just keep trying. Actually, that success is what allows me to write this tutorial in the first place. I'm writing this tutorial after having recently figured out a solution to one of my own programming dilemmas.one that took me two whole days to figure out (and it's really a simple thing in hindsight). I hope this helps you find solutions to your bewilderment or alternatives to make your games work even better! Or both! Hello! First, thank you for taking the time to check out my very first tutorial! I'm very grateful.
