  • thanks Laura_D - yeah this is what I figured...

    wasn't Iconclasts ported? or is what you are streaming there NWjs?

  • are you just talking about running it in preview?

    there are a number of things that could be causing a start-up jank. Are all your objects in the layout on startup or are you creating object at runtime that are not present in that particular layout?

  • I remember there being some issues (years ago) with streaming construct games (on Twitch or YT). The creator of The Next Penelope mentioned on numerous occasions (a while back) how using dt and behaviors (that all use dt) really hurt the frame rate and how games were not really streamable.

    Is this a thing of the past? I don't know of any released C3 games that are streamed so it's been hard to check. If so, what fixed it? C3? faster GPUs? both?

  • okay the first one I looked at was "Force player to press a button on keyboard.", opened it, looked at the event sheet, then I saw today was April 1st......

  • wow, I don't know how I ever missed this thread, but knowing how active you are on these forums it doesn't surprise me. This is a gold mine of value!

    Thanks for all of this, you genuinely add a great deal to this community!

  • can anyone confirm that in Chrome r241, make a comment, then right-click to change background color of the comment, use color picker, select a color, then mouse wheel no longer works.

    workaround: go to another chrome tab and the mouse wheel starts working again, then back in construct it will resume working.

    if this happens to anyone else I can file a bug report. otherwise it's probably just something on my end.

  • cloning is making an entirely different object.

    so you can make triggers for object A or object B

    sometimes when you have very similar objects you could instead only make 1 object type and then differentiate by an instance variable.

    I'm not sure the rule of thumb for when you really want to make a different object type so similar, but after you use construct for a while, you will just know.

  • Try Construct 3

  • Ashley sorry, I meant to say in my transition from r234.4 to r240. I skipped all the betas in between (before r240) so it was fairly obvious to see the time difference when I hadn't added anything to the project. I was just wondering if others were experiencing the same thing. It could be as simple as other Chrome processes taking up system resources, I have a fairly old computer (2014).

  • R0J0hound wow this is great thanks, yeah the actual application of what I am trying to doesn't have that center one directly in the center.

    here is dop2000's version I modified it slightly. It sometimes skips a point.

    next I will try it your way to see if that off center one gives it a problem. I will also try to upload a video of what I am trying to so it makes more sense.

  • since updating to r240 beta I've notice considerable lag when going to a layout I have not been on for some time. I have a decently large project file.

    10-20 seconds before the sprites load (in the editor) and down the bottom left it says:

    Rendering Sprite Sheets....(has a count)

    Creating Textures....(has a count)

    Has something changed recently that would effect this? It's mildly annoying, but it wasn't doing this before and the size of my layouts/objects hasn't changed that much.

  • R0J0hound

    Then it utilizes “for each ordered” to sort them by distance. It would be the same as “pick closest” but it also adds a fraction of the perpendicular distance so it prefers the dots closer to the direction pressed as opposed to just one of them when they are all the same distance away.

    this bit is clever!

    what am I doing wrong here? it only stays on the middle one

  • dop2000 thanks! and it even works with moving the circles/image points around a bit. although sometimes it skips too far, but cone and range can be adjusted.

    R0J0hound oh this looks super clever! I need to try this out! thanks!

  • dop2000 oh nice LOS is another good idea to try... although when you are at the center dot and hit LEFT you will go to the nearest which might not be the one at 3 o'clock.

    One of these ideas should help me. Thanks guys!

  • newt sure.. that's a cool way to do it! I could probably figure a way to add it to a trigger and leave the highlight selection in the place you selected after you let go.

  • got it working a little better, but it sometimes doesn't feel quite right.

    or try it here:

    and let me know what you think (SPACE BAR will pause the spinning)
