  • If nothing picked in condition every instance will be executed in action related to them. What kind of condition you want to filter an instance?

    I want an event to pick instances that are on a visible layer.

    For example, i'm using these conditions for the time being:

    - For Each Instance

    - Layer Instance.LayerName is visible

    This works very poorly as i would like to follow with another event using Else, and i would like not to use for each when not really necessary.

    It would be great to be able to test if a layer is visible directly in an expression, is that possible?

    I mean directly picking instances as an expression, something like: pick objects if object.layer = visible (i made this up ofc).

  • Try Construct 3

    For some unknown reason Construct doesn't have such boolean conditions.

    You can make a function which checks if a layer is visible, and use it in "Pick by evaluate" expression.

    Why i didn't think about it? Thank you!
