    Not the file, just the image..

    The size in the game effects the drawing, not the (image-)memory it occupies..

    I am beginning to think I don't really understand the optimization guide of Ashley now. So performance is only based on what is seen on the screen. Thanks i'll keep that in mind. But why do we need to turn off the Collisions outside the screen view according to some guides ? And why do we need to maintain object count if we can just scatter many objects that will not be seen together in the screen view?

    > Wow! Great Thanks, Just another question. Does making your tiledbackground larger lowers the performance? Which is better? to resize my imagefile(the image of the tile) so that it can maintain 2560px or just leave the tiledbackground size to 3960px?

    >

    Your image is 615x194..

    That is the image size in memory..

    So the (Ingame sprite or tiledbackground) size or instance count doesn't lower performance (cpu or ram) is that what you mean only the ImageFile?

  • It will work if you set the width of your background to 3690px

    To get the background to be at least the width of your project, it needs to be 3x615px(it's original image size)..

    To make this code work, it has to be twice as wide, so 3690px

    Wow! Great Thanks, Just another question. Does making your tiledbackground larger lowers the performance? Which is better? to resize my imagefile(the image of the tile) so that it can maintain 2560px or just leave the tiledbackground size to 3960px?

  • Could you share your capx to clarify your question?

    For the above event to work, the image doen't have to be the same width as the layout..

    It has to be at least as wide as the layout and repeated two times, because it only moves half it's width every time..

    Here is the .capx file XD Hope you find the problem and do explain.

    Yeah that's true, but I already tried resizing the background by x2 or changing Self.Width / 2 with /1.909 or something that'll fit the size of the image and still something wrong..

    I'll post the .capx in just a minute..

  • Like in the Autorunner Template, there is the event :

    Condition:

    X <= - Self.Width / 2

    Action:

    Set X : Self.X + Self.Width / 2

    But this only apply to images with the same width of their layout. Can anyone give an event for images not equal to the width of their layout? Thanks in advance XD

  • I'm on the layout, and whenever I try to move something around, it often snaps back to it's original position, and sometimes it goes into different layers. This happens with many projects that I work on.

    How do I simply just move something around? I mean anything, on the layout.

    Yeah cs2curious is right, It might be an external conflict causing Construct 2 to malfunction. Before you do anything else. First, disable / Uninstall all your plugins. Second, check your events if there is something wrong. Lastly, if nothing works then you need to uninstall and update or reinstall your Construct 2.

  • I have a working version, Player 2 can be pushed by Player 1 :

    > I think you didn't get what I mean. I want player1 to push player2 above like a carried object without the use of any platform object but your example used a platform object to push it up and also required pin and 8 movement behavior which made it more complicated. But thanks for trying though XD.

  • I am sorry OnyOxis & LeuNoeleeste for not being precise but I cannot use physics for that because it will cause more problems and it wont work with this type of game and performance is also at risk.

    My point is that I want to make a simple event that if the Player2 (w/ Platform and solid behavior) is on top of Player1 (w/ Platform and solid behavior) then the Player 2 will be pushed up when Player 1 jumps.

    I want to make that event without the use of Pin behaviors, Custom Movement and Simulate controls for it will make things complicated. In other words, I am looking for an event that maybe I missed that can make this happen noncomplicatedly. Thanks

  • How do I jump in platformer(with solid) when there is another platformer (with solid) above ?

    I have a Player with platformer behavior with solid behavior too and it can't jump with another Player with solid and platformer behavior above it? Does anyone have any ways to make a platformer-player jump and bring another platformer-player above with it?

  • So, I have 2 sprites with lot of instances on layout (total of 120) and all of them are solids with collision enabled. Since this uses a lot of CPU to check collisions, I was wondering is there a way to disable collisions on instances that are off screen. I've tried something like "Sprite is (not)on screen -> collision disabled" but this diables collisions on all instances, both on screen and off screen.

    Any ideas?

    " Sprite is (not) on screen -> collision disabled " should have worked! and it only includes sprites not on screen.. There might be some events that conflicts with it or maybe you did not include this event below.

    If Sprite is on screen then

    --> Set collision enabled

  • I think actually newt might be on to something. Overheating graphics card, not enough memory or the likes are most probably the culrpit.

    Remember AERO is needed under Windows to prevent screen tearing but it also consumes about 1 GB of RAM.

    I do not think it is the case now. As I stated above..

  • Try going to File>Preferences>Misc and uncheck "Cache icons in editor for better performance". That's the typical culprit for this because it bumps up against (and through) Windows' object limit. This only really happens on projects with a lot of objects in it because of all the different-sized icons and such loaded for it. It'll make editing events and such a touch slower depending on how big your game is, but rock-solid stable.

    Yeah! I believe that could be a cause of icons interchanging. Great Thanks C-7

  • That would be due to OS, and hardware rather than C2.

    You could try stopping some other resources that are also using ram, as its most likely the culprit.

    I don't think so that my PC is the cause for it barely heats up even though it's a fanless ultrabook, I have enough ram in my pc. And it happened in two of my Computer.

    Task Manager Overall Usage:

    Ram Consumption : 10 to 20 %

    CPU Consumption 3 to 25 %

    ----------------------------------------------

    But it is nothing serious actually cause it happens only when you use it for a very long time and frequently using redo, undo, copy, paste and heavy import of objects and heavy event making. But I still reported it for some people may get confused that their events doesn't work suddenly and object images (especially similar images or duplicated-edited images) interchanges.
