  If the same project works in old C3 version and doesn't in new, you should report this:

  just record a new video every 30 seconds

  What do you do if you started recording a new video 5 seconds ago, and now need to replay the last 30?

  The part I didn't understand is: mid(list,random(len(list)),1)

  In my case the list of variables will be something like this: acd

  So to extract a random variable name (one letter) from that string I'm using mid() expression, which extracts one character at random(len(list)) position.

  In your case I suggest a different approach. You can build a list of variables separated by space or comma:

  apples pears oranges

  Having space as a separator is easier because you can use trim(list) to remove any extra leading/ending spaces. Then extract one variable name using tokenat/tokencount:

  Set list to trim(list)

  Browser Log tokenat(list, random(tokencount(list, " "), " ")

  See the documentation if you need help with any of these expressions:

  I believe even when the game resolution matches screen resolution, snapshot resolution is still re-calculated from the pixel scale ratio. So this is a rounding error.

  Have you tried enabling fixed resolution in canvas properties?

  I like to use this to toggle a variable between 0/1

  Set b to (b=0)

  If b was 0, it will become 1. If it was 1, it will become 0.

  Must be a conflict with 8direction behavior - it tries to turn the sprite even if you set it to look at mouse position.

  Disable "Set angle" in behavior properties.

  This is very easy to do with hierarchies and templates.

  Create all your hierarchies on a separate "Assets" layout. Select multiple objects, right-click the parent sprite and choose "Hierarchy - Add selection to this instance".

  Then in properties on the parent object set it as a template and give it a template name.

  Now when you create the parent object, you can specify which template to create it from, and if you tick "Hierarchy" textbox, it will be created with all its children objects.

  In your case you can use an invisible sprite as parent.

  Not necessarily, you can simply use fixed values in your Tweens. For example:

  Cursor is over Btn : Tween size to (64,22)

  Cursor is not over Btn : Tween size to (60,20)

  I meant Btn, not Button, the name of your button sprite.

  Select event #6 and press X - this will create "Else" event, which basically means 'player is not moving'. There you can set "Stand" animation.

  You can add "Player is moving" event. Create sub-events (press B) and move your events 6-9 as sub-events there.

  Player is moving
  ....(sub-events)
  ....Player is between angles
  ....Player is between angles
  ....Player is between angles
  ....Player is between angles
  Else 
  .... Skin set animation to "Idle"

  There is nothing the application can do about this.

  Ashley Then why is there a "GPU Preference" setting, what does it do?

  Instruct players to manually change their system settings to use the discrete GPU

  I tried that on my gaming laptop, and NWJS game still immediately reverted to iGPU. I couldn't get it to run on dGPU at all.
