  so how so you pick an object if this isnt the way to do it? Theres a few posts that mention this, but none that really cover a technique and explain it.

  as an aside...

  I think 'click selected object' action only tests whether a click is within a square. It dosent seem to have any understanding of what object is being clicked on (should be the topmost one), only that mouse.x and mouse.y are within some defined area.

  I have a 'game field' sprite object that is in the background layer.

  I also have a 'cat' sprite object placed within the 'game field' area.

  When I click the 'game field' I want a new instance of 'cat' created at the point of click. (I got that working)

  If I click a 'cat' instance, I want that instance deleted.

  As it it, when I click a cat object, it just adds another cat on top of the previous cat object.

  Link to .capx file (required!):

  not on public server yet (havent gotten that far). edit : and it seems I dont have permission to post URLs anyway.

  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create event sheet (Ill call it ES1). THis will get included in ES2 and ES3.

  2. Create another event sheet and attach it to layout 1 (Ill call it ES2 and L1)

  3. Make L1 a few screens tall.

  4. In L1 make a sprite, call it 'target'. Place it at the bottom (so its y value is like > 1000)

  5. Create another event sheet and attach it to layout 2 (Ill call it ES3 and L2)

  6. Make L2 a few screens tall, then In L2 add an instance of target. Place it at the top.

  7. In ES1 create event System -> On start of layout -> scroll to target (THIS IS WHAT APPEARS NOT TO WORK)

  8. add an event (like just a click) to ES2 that causes ES3 to load, and to ES3 to cause ES2 to load.

  9. Include ES1 in both ES2 and ES3. Now when either ES2 or ES3 loads, it *should* scroll to target.

  Observed result:

  You dont scroll to the target when switching between ES2 and ES3.

  Expected result:

  Scrolling to the target when switching between ES2 and ES3.

  Browsers affected:

  Chrome: yes

  Firefox: ?

  Internet Explorer: ?

  Operating system & service pack: Windows 7 everythings up to date (stable versions).

  Construct 2 version: How to tell? I downloaded it last week so probably the latest.

      

  Of course I could just be badly mistaken in the nuance of how layouts, loading on start of layout, or something else works.
