If you try to duplicate the main layout (or to add a new layout of your own creation) of this template without changing the related event sheet, the ghost AI movements stop working and the enemy sprites just move to the right before disappearing.

Something doesn't quite add up: why would the enemy sprites AI stop working properly if the event sheet is the same and the layout is either a copy of the original one or a new one with the same variables?

It works fine on my end. Did you assign the right event sheet to your new layout?

Yes, I duplicated the main layout and the first event sheet was automatically assigned to it.

There's a watermark but you still can see how the enemies move on the right.

Ah sorry I meant can you post a video (or just the exact steps) of how you replicate the bug? From the start of opening the original template all the way until it breaks.

Here you can see I just duplicated the original layout, I selected the copy and the event sheet is the same but the enemy sprites stop working properly.

I see what you mean - this is strange! I can replicate it here now following those steps.

It seems to occur when there multiple layouts. If you duplicate the original layout, then delete the original layout, the game works using the duplicated layout.

You should file a bug on the bug tracker:

github.com/Scirra/Construct-bugs
I'm not sure why this is happening, but I'd love to know the answer!

yes I can also reproduce it, interestingly it matter which Layout is the first in the project bar, so if you move the copy to the top, that one works and the initial one doesn't.

I can also replicate it.

Maybe it is some strange artifact in the underlying code.. this project was created 11 years ago.

In version 90, of Constuct2..!!

It would be fitting for C2 bug to haunt us in a game about ghosts!
