On destroyed and layout change

Link to .capx file (required!):

dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5426011/bug/bug_creation_from_destructor.capx

Steps to reproduce:

1. Add a sprite and add an "on destroyed" event.

2. In that event have another object get created.

3. Then make an event to change or restart the layout.

Observed result:

When the layout changes the object created in the "on destroyed" event still exists.

Expected result:

I would expect no objects to survive a layout change unless they were global.

Browsers affected:

Chrome: untested

Firefox: yes

Internet Explorer: untested

Operating system & service pack: Vista sp2

Construct 2 version: 149

I glazed over the observed result. This is an issue with Construct 2.

I forgot to search for existing bugs and was informed about this existing one:

I think given my comment from the linked bug report, this should not be fixed otherwise we will create another infinite-loop bug. Based on that, closing as won't fix.

Cool deal, I should have searched before posting. I may end up using this eventually anyway. It's an interesting way to make an object on the next layout without making the object global.

I would perhaps avoid relying on this kind of behavior - it's a sort of edge case thing that might change in future.
