  • When you edit or cut and paste code is when this suggestion would be handy.

  • Here is an example:

    <img src="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/108499873/temp/Capture1.PNG" border="0" />

    If a user hit tab, it would look like this:

    <img src="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/108499873/temp/Capture2.PNG" border="0" />

    If a user hit shift + tab:

    <img src="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/108499873/temp/Capture3.PNG" border="0" />

  • I don't understand this suggestion.

    Could you give an example of use that could explain it ?

    Otherwise are you aware of sub-events, groups and how events work ?

    Shortcuts are for convenience.

  • It would be nice if the tab key indented the selected events and shift + tab un-indented selected events.

  • I agree.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

  • It would be great to add the possibility of attachments to forum posts.

    Currently dropbox is used by alot of people which is resulting in dead links (I guess cause people clean up there dropbox and remove the files).

  • If you sit down to write you code with a pen and paper, I find the best method is to work with 'states'.

    This is because C2 runs events every tick you need to know what state the program is in at any one time. It just simplifies the workflow.

    I create global static variables with each possible state and a global variable containing the current state. I also use states for individual objects.

    So instead of activating/deactivating groups use states in my opinion.

    Otherwise all the comments above sound good.

  • It would be nice to be able to manipulate bits in an integer.

    Cheers.

  • My error. One of my families required a For each.

    Families is a great feature, but it can get a bit confusing sometimes with the pick lists :)

  • Kyatric, loving the pathfinder behaviour.

    1 problem:

    I've placed this behaviour in a family and running 2 sprites from this family simultaneously.

    It doesn't work for me. If I run each sprite individually, its good. However together, its mayhem (?).

    Any thoughts on this (maybe its my code). Thanks.

  • Thanks Kyatrix for your response.

    By non-trivial, I'm referring to more complex application with C2.

  • Hi,

    My feature request is for enumerated types.

    Firstly, I'm really enjoying using Construct 2. It has a great design and is fun.

    For non-trivial programs, the event sheet gets pretty confusing. From what I've seen, the standard approach for implementing a workflow is to disable/enable groups of events.

    My preference (to disabling/enabling groups) is currently to create a number which represents a state in the event sheet. I personally find this a better way to understand/write non-trivial code.

    Therefore it would be great to have enumerated types, so I can label the states in the event sheet and make it more readable.
