Easy Platform Movement in Construct

We added some 'noob' options to platform movement so people can easily get a game with platform movement set up. Once people start adding more than the usual 4 animations, you're better off using events to control which animations switch to which.

With the addition of the custom collision mask, I added an option to make it super easy to copy the same mask for every single frame in an animation. Wether this will replace the method of having a separate sprite for the 'manbox' or 'hitbox' is for you to decide....

Also, I'm joking about the remaking braid...braid is a very complicated game and the time dynamics are quite simply amazing! If you've never heard of braid google it! Or go to:

http://braid-game.com/

and watch the video! This game is excellent and genre defying! I'd highly recommend it!

Incase anyone thinks i've 'stolen' the braid graphics, they were available in this briefcase...

I think it shows how awesome the developers of that game are that they are giving away the maximium resolution graphics on their own site!

So go play Braid!

And when you've finished it or you're brain has orgasmed from the art or the complexity of the story line go to http://www.scirra.com and check out Construct!

Hello. I know this was made a while ago, but I'm still interested in sprite animation and would like to do more. I'm trying to use Construct to make a character switch to another function as it is already doing another; e.g.; go from running fast to flying. But I'm not exactly sure how that works. If you could help me a bit, I'd really appreciate it.
