  • How much oversize are you? Is it possible to optimize down to be within size?

  • Hi brenadafff! Try this tutorial

  • Have you considered NOT using a different layout, but instead just using the visibility of the layers in a single layout? The visual effect would be the the same as a new layout and all of your objects would already be in the right positions.

  • I once had a project with hundreds of files that needed renaming in multiple folders. In the end I used a batch file to process the lot for me. Took a few seconds to run, but didn't make any mistakes. Unfortunately I don't have the batch file anymore but you might find something online that'll do the job for you. Obviously you only want to run the batch file on a backup set of files or else it could go badly wrong!

  • Aah! I didn't notice this was CC.

  • Ok. Well using the Construct 2 interface is certainly very different from that kind of programming but some of the underlying the principles are the same. Personally I'm more familiar with working in notepad++ to code (mostly php and mysql scripts nowadays), so the constraints of the Construct 2 interface was the biggest hurdle I had to overcome.

  • Hi winkr7. It looks like you're using a global variable (overlap) which will keep a running total of all of your overlaps.

    I'd suggest you try using an instance variable instead so that the counter will give you an indication of how many overlaps each XSquare has. Then you can do a condition based on this being equal to exactly 1.

    Hope that helps.

  • Hi gumshoe! I can't see your "for instance" but I had a similar problem that drove me nuts for a while - it just might be the same thing that's affecting you...

    Double click the object that you want to be clickable.

    When the "Edit image" window opens up, look down the left hand side and click on the bottom icon "Set collision polygon"

    Look at your image in the editor and make sure it is fully covered.

    If not, you can right-click for some automatic options or else drag and drop the little red squares.

    Hope that helps.

  • Hi Zoltar!

    Just grab the xpos and ypos while you're in layout 1 and store them in global variables.

    Then go to layout 2 and get those variables and use them to position your object there.

  • Construct 2 does make automatic backups. You'll find the files on your system - they have the same filename but instead of the capx extension they have something similar to indicate the file is an automatic backup.

    I would find the latest one of those and rename it to a completely new filename, including changing the extension back to capx. Then open that file in Construct 2 to see how much of your changes were saved at that point.

  • Hi Hasan999. Yes, you can store your ratings in your own database (e.g. mysql hosted elsewhere online) and make an AJAX call from the Construct 2 game to post the user's rating into your database.

  • Hey Ashesh, before I found the disable function I used this approach which might be useful for you before Ashley gets back:

    Modify the condition in some VERY obvious way so you can easily put it back later e.g....

    Replace condition variable="" with variable="######"

    If you've a bunch of these you can easily spot them or do a search for ######

  • I like it.

  • Thanks justifun, I was wondering how best to do that too.

  • Have you tried using the time system expression?
