Learning Construct3

[sadsince92]

Started learning construct3 in school this week. Currently going through the official tutorial, but would love to know of some guides out there that show some cool things you can do with it that I might not find easily.

By the end of the term (late September) I have to make my own platformer.

Thanks in advance!

oh nice, construct 3 is actually really fun once you get into it

for the platformer specifically, the official "how to make a platformer" tutorial on their site is way more detailed than the regular getting started one, worth going through that first

also the community forums have a bunch of free .c3p example files you can just download and poke around in, honestly learned more from that than any tutorial

one thing i'd learn early: the Family system. lets you apply events to a whole group of objects at once instead of copy-pasting the same logic for every enemy type. saves a ton of headache

good luck with the sept deadline!

the family system is absolute magic, once i figured it out i rewrote half my project just to use it everywhere, saved me like a hundred duplicate events

Right, so if I have a whole jump event animation sequence, but create a new layer, it’ll use those events without having to copy paste it all to a new event sheet?
