  — I must have a memory leak somewhere. What other reasons could be causing such high CPU usage?

  Hey Construct Community,

  My alpha (80 events) had 30%+ CPU Usage, 72% memory usage, and slowly decreased in frames per second to a minimum of 30 fps during a short playtime. I know what the problem was: I was spawning raindrops every 0.01 seconds, but I thought Construct 2 could handle a large amount of objects on screen.

  After changing the value to every 0.1 seconds, the frame rate decrease stopped, but I still have at least a 20% CPU usage and around the same memory usage. Is this normal? What are your projects yielding in regards to the FPS, CPU/Memory usage?

  Very clever. Would this be considered a bug? Should I report it?

  Hey Construct Community,

  I've created a pretty neat enemy dueling AI, but it has one problem. When the player enters the enemy's attack box, the enemy attacks the way it should the first time, but on its next attack it won't stop attacking and "breaks".

  The events are at the very bottom of the event sheet.

  It works, thanks codah! All you did was move the events around in the event sheet?

  Hey Construct Community,

  I'm making a 2D combat system and when I added the events that enabled the player to block with a shield while holding down a key, it disabled my attack which uses a 'key is pressed' event. I have no idea how to fix this.

  I've labeled my events with comments, the Block and Attack are at the bottom of the event sheet.

  I'm trying to create a jetpack as seen in this video:

  I've tried combining the Platformer behavior and the Physics behavior but it creates bugs. Any ideas?

  Thanks.

  Apologies for the noob question,

  But how do I remove the black borders in my game? I changed the window size and the layout size but it still remains.

  Here's a screenshot of my dilemma: http://imgur.com/L15kdLx

  Thanks.

  I was flipping through my latest GameInformer magazine (the #1 video game magazine in the world) and in the reviews section the Construct 2 made game "Our Darker Purpose" was reviewed right next to the new The Last of Us DLC! That is an amazingly impressive feat!

  Here is a link to the review: http://www.gameinformer.com/games/our_d ... eview.aspx

  Being a page away from the game that won over 200 game of the year awards is crazy. Well done Avidly Wild Games!

  I've tried lowering the Gravity and Max Fall Speed values when colliding with a vertical wall, but I can't figure out how to jump again once the player is falling against the wall.

  Using the platform behavior, how would I make a walljump mechanic like in Super Meat Boy?

  Thanks.
