  • Of course you need to consider what you want to be visible if objects overlap as the object on the higher layer will any on lower layers. But I think I read something about keeping images that are rendered similarly on the same layer for optimisation purposes - I'll check my notes later, or you could search for optimisation.

  • hi

  • I'd find that really useful too, as well as a left/right option for managing event indentation because this sometimes ***** with drag and drop.

  • Hi Lazarus,

    If you don't want anybody to ever download it from your website, then you should store it above the htdocs folder on your host. That way you'll have access via ftp, i.e. if it was just for your personal storage or for referencing via your software.

    If you must store it in a folder below htdocs then you could start by making sure visitors can't see a folder listing by creating an index.htm page for the folder. Then you could password protect the folder and/or file using .htpasswd. Plenty of tutorials online for that.

    Hope that helps.

  • Hi truefalcon, hope this is what you're looking for...

    Click on the specific sprite instance that you want to be made transparent.

    Look in the Properties bar, under the top (Object type properties) section and note the number against the UID.

    Then create an event, pick your sprite and click on "Pick instance with UID", then type in the UID number you noted.

    Lastly add your action (check out the Appearance group of actions for your sprite: Set Invisible or Set Opacity)

  • Thanks ramones - I should have seen that!

  • Hi guys. I'm a Construct 2 noob (with a paid licence) but I have carefully read your notes on bug reporting and followed the instructions fully. Thanks for all your great work.

    Problem Description

    I set up a family with three instance variables: 1 Boolean, 1 Number and 1 Text. Then I add an event based on this family and choose Compare instance variable. A window appears titled "Parameters for Family1: Compare instance variable" and the first drop down box lets me choose an instance variable. The options only include the Number and Text variables but NOT the Boolean.

    Attach a Capx

    Simple Capx uploaded containing JUST this problem

    Description of Capx

    Layout 1: Contains one Sprite object which has been added to "Family1"

    Event sheet 1: Contains one event based on comparing instance variables for Family1

    Steps to Reproduce Bug

    • Step 1 Open Capx
    • Step 2 Go to Event sheet 1
    • Step 3 Double click on the (only) event
    • Step 4 Click the first drop down list (Instance variable)
    • Step 5 Notice that the list only contains the Number and Text options, but NOT the Boolean
    • Step 6 On Project bar, click on Family1 and look in the Properties bar to confirm that all three instance variables are listed for the family (i.e. not just for the single object)

    Observed Result

    The Boolean instance variable is not listed as an option

    Expected Result

    I expected to see all three Family1 instance variables listed: Boolean, Number and Text
