Adventure Scroller Part 5 Construct 2 Video Lecture | Construct Tutorial: Become a Game Maker - Game Development

Oh
hey guys for 20 sure here and take we're
going to be working on our next part of
our grotto side-scrolling video game
this one we're going to be actually
building level which is kind like the
easy part and then we're going to go
straight into the actual enemy AI so
we're going to put our player in there
and then our enemy AI is going to
actually react to him being there so
many you know so close to him and what
they're going to do there so this is
going to be a quick episode to show you
or so show some of you who don't know
how to do this tile based stuff and you
know level creation and all that stuff
and then move on very quickly to the
actual AI so that's what the main goal
is for this so right now i'm going to
enter the new object and what we're
going to do is we're going to insert a
tile map we're going to place it and
then we're going to place tiles so
that's what we're going to do we're
going to exit and we're it's going to be
this whole entire screen so we're going
to do a pretty big size level and then i
want to edit right here on properties
the width and the tile height to be I
want to try eight by eight but that may
be a wee bit small that's actually what
I want there we go so what right now I'm
actually going to zoom in so I can see
what exactly I'm doing I'm gonna do
about three different uh um
like tears or levels so we cannot have a
pretty decent amount of stuff going on
inside of this game or maybe too i think
i'll just do too so we can make it kind
of simple so i'm going to actually just
edit this and actually what we can do is
for tingle scroll bar so i can just
literally plaster a whole bunch of this
stuff so this is like oh you just want
to plaster the stuff that you selected
so it's going to just repeat it a
bazillion times so there we go and then
what I'm going to do is I'm going to do
it again
there we go
ok and now what I want to do is actually
I want to insert a background to this
because it's an underground level we are
going straight on the ground sure I
don't want to add a sprite I want to
insert a tiled background so we're going
to open up that and
go to our files
and then
pick that one out what I want to do is I
oops when you select rml stool so we can
do some moving and editing is actually
edit this so we're going to send this
the bottom of layer so it's right
underneath with bomb i make it a little
bit bigger so i can edit it later there
we go and i'll actually want to erase
some of this so i can create like
elevators that go up and down and then i
will create some boxes
these boxes will be on the side
and again what we can do is hits a
selecting tool and just select all of
that
make it kind of decorative
add some character to it some different
layers
and then a ceiling
so add a ceiling there and then we want
to add a ceiling down here
there you go
okay so we basically made our game or a
level let's see
so add in some plant textures
when I can't what I'm going to do is I'm
actually going to put those in the
background so I'm going to insert new
object or what we can actually do is
take this background and clone it so
there we go we cloned it
there you go top background for i'm
going to dragged it to here and put on
our tool I'm sets background light on
background I need time up there we go
we're going to clone that so we're going
to take our tile map and we're going to
move it over here but I want to put it
below this one so
let that one there we go we're going to
make sure that this one always stays on
top so moves you order the top move this
one you order down to the bottom and
then move our background background to
the bottom so when we edit this guy like
real quick I'm going to put some stuff
on it like these plants again we need to
edit it to make sure that our painting
tool knows that we want a certain height
and then paint some plants on to it
ok so we move leave I'm going to pinch
some more
but we won't set this to be solid we'll
just set it as a you know a non
collision tile
so be some decorative but it won't be
like oh you know we'll have a collision
with it so we're going to get out on my
may have done it to the wrong one
and do that we on 50
here we go we went five
no just put it on the same level there
we go and now cancer join so the
painting
so when I move it back
you know so well actually what we should
do is just move this to the top anyways
in the top
and then do our editing right on top of
that
and again it kind of depends on what you
actually want to do and how you actually
want to layer it I was like I was kind
of like hoping to do a couple of
different layers and add in some
different sprites for another sprite
sheet but I think we can just do it deal
with this
okay so we've got that and again if we
want to check it out we can just move it
and there we go we've got our sprites
there so I'm going to move it back we
want to get in real close we have our
grass voila and again we can actually
get make sure it actually looks a little
bit nicer we can actually put it
straight on top
it takes more of the actual stone make
sure it actually looks like it is
something nice again this is all for the
tutorial beso and if I were actually
spend like a couple hours actually doing
this it would look a whole lot better if
I would probably take some bottom rock
and slap together
or you use a smaller tile with in height
okay so we have our level right now now
I want to just decorate it add some
rocks so we can defend ourselves or hide
or whatever so again we are using the
a week out the original top map so what
we want to do is select that and
actually remove it and then what we
actually want to do is edit the original
one by putting some random rocks are not
rocks but a stone blocks and this is
what will sit at solid objects so
everything on this on this one
everything that you see right here we're
going to set a solid it will put this
would be kind of like to show you know
is some basic in any AI so basically
i'll with the enemy AI was going to do
it's going to walk backwards and
forwards and it's gonna say okay from
imma reach this point at this point i'm
going to turn around and keep walking
but once they see the enemy i'm going to
stop and face him and then shoot my
blaster or shoot my fireball or whatever
i'm also planning to do that we're going
to cover one whole episode and then i'm
going to do a flying enemy is going to
do the same thing but it's going to
target him directly and literally just
goes fly straight toward them attack
them fly off and then fly back so we're
going to have some basic enemy so
nothing you know to perk up to super
complex but something that we can add to
later if we want to take that and
advance it to the enemy part 2 or you
know enemy to point out so i want to go
back to the mouse button and then
overlay my stuff so there we go and what
we're going to do is set all of this as
behaviors added and we want to add
solid so that's going to be up here
we're going to set that as solid we're
not going to set this top layer brothers
you have a soft layer as solid because
that's this like decoration and if I did
want to spend a whole bunch of time it
would look a lot better so what we can
do is drop in our enemy and our enemy
our character Cara play our character
and we can just drop them in right there
and he's already set to the top and if
we hit play
and he's already set to there we go that
already works
now we need to do some a bit of editing
but other than that we're actually
pretty much done I'm going to add in
some torches and then some maybe some we
could see like some some of the sky or
not sky but you know starry background
but all you would do if you actually
wanted to go beyond this is okay so we
have platform bound to layout but we
also want scroll to
so we hit play and now we can actually
jump down go down to the next level and
face the enemies down there so in the so
we have our basic level so it's not
nothing pretty but you know it works and
i'm going to build a actually what we
could do right now is so i'm going to
take this block this block and i am
going to edit it
that one um
see I need to import a sprite intro to
sprite paste it
is it there actually I need to actually
open up the actual sprite itself so i'm
going to do that real quick and then
edit it
and I'll build a quick little elevator
so all I want to do is zoom in and then
we want to select the item that we
actually want to use
yes there we go we got it I'm going to
sit I'm going to delete everything else
paste everything make sure that we only
have this block and then I'm going to
recenter it
we're going to send out there and I need
a zoom in so I can make this little
bigger
now what I also want to do is set this
as solid but i also want to set this as
a are just objects of this SI any sign
or whatever however you want to
pronounce it and we want to set it as
vertical magnitude with such as a
hundred and period it's going to be 40
we can test that out real quick so if we
go over here it's going to go out so
it's going to go down really really slow
so actually want to cut that have 220
run layout
and the reason why he's not doing the
animation ok so 100 is not going to be
enough is because he's controlled by I'm
UI controls which I haven't set out yet
but I could literally uh like we get as
i can because these buttons are already
pre-programmed i can just drag them drop
them so is 20 magnitude I need to be
probably 400 so we're going to run
layout again
so 400 is a bit much so let's drop it
down to i'm going to say 202 set up and
then probably increase the speed again
this is a lot of debugging and testing
to make sure that it does work ok so
that actually goes down only that far
let's see how far it goes up
alright so that works and then yeah and
it only goes down
that actually works really well so and
it actually isn't too fast so that's
going to work out all that you probably
need to do left is add layer a layer on
top so this layer on top there we go so
you that's this layer on top right now
is going to be parallax 0 comma 0 and we
actually want to drop everything onto
that layer so we click it we want it we
want to select over here in the commons
the layer 0 so we're going to zoom out
there's the right button so I actually
want to increase it because I was doing
some and retesting and it wasn't big
enough and then what I want to do is
actually went to then select left jump
button increase that
and then what I want to do is get the
jump button increase it and what I'm
going to actually do is probably
replaces but i am going to actually make
them a opaque so kind of invisible so
i'm going to select all of them oh okay
opacity i'm going to set it down to 50
so we can see them actually i'm going to
select them all and again and do it down
to 30 sounds a little bit better oh I'm
some in the wrong area so I need to
select them over here
and probably slice and down again
a test that out so we have
I guess because the code I don't have
the code in the system yet we're going
to go to that layers this is five so I
need to go to a previous level that has
so we're going to go to even cheat for
and this has everything so I'm going to
copy it move it to even shoot five paste
it there and then when we play it again
voila we can now move but we do have you
know some writing issues but we can fix
that out on the neverland next let APIs
owed and we can shoot so we're going to
actually add the ability to shoot in the
next episode and then enemy AI and you
killing them in health and everything
like that because there's only going to
be like two enemies so it's literally
not going to be that it's not going to
be too complicated we can get everything
down in like under 30 minutes but
hopefully you guys enjoyed this episode
if you did remember hit the like and
subscribe button try to construct two
out it is actually a really nice game if
I can do this this quickly and copy code
and paste it drag already created items
and have it work already then it is
actually really it's a really good 2d
game engine that you can export to
android/ios just a whole bunch of
platforms so like the video subscribe to
the construct to side or wherever you
see this and enjoy building new games
please comment down below if you would
like to see other particular videos out
or a specific video on a problem that
you're issuing and you guys all have an
awesome day I'll see you guys later
