This is a single chapter from the "Construct Starter Kit Collection". It is the Student Workbook for its Workshop.
  • I want to be able to have something start firing bullets once the game starts, but not before the player presses start. The "Wait for signal" event wont make a looping timer wait, so I'm not sure how to do it.

  • You can activate and disable event groups. Put the events that are responsible for firing in a group, and have it disabled by default. When the player presses start, enable that group.

  • You could run add "Add object to Target" when the button is clicked otherwise. But the option above would work too. I like disabling and starting groups... it's a good way to not check everything all the time

    Hmm, I did this, but it still didint work. Am I supposed to put the events in the group in a specific order?

    I think his suggestion was to have it start as a disabled group and then activate it when you click the start button.

    My idea was to just add the action directly to the "Turret"
