  • Since the last update the debug preview button seems to have been removed from menu and is now only in the drop down menu. Why did you remove it? It was a extemely useful shortcut, having to go into the drop down menu all the time gets old fast. Please can you put it back?

    is it possible to sort out the expressions dictionary window when system object it selected, the expressions are very far apart for some reason and the info is all squashed up at one end. It doesnt matter how the window is resized, and it makes finding things difficult.

    Also if possible, when selecting an objects variable can it be identified which are values and which strings (perhaps have it in brackets at the end of the variable name in a differnt colour), and also which are family variables, as these can be accessed in the object as well.

  • Have you unchecked the "repeat" box in the objects crouch animation?

  • It's not possible until the SDK is finished.

  • My project is still quite small, it's not being exported and preview is not running. My computer sounds like its doing something and its making the editor lag but the message wont go.

    I've never encountered this before, is it normal? Ashley

    Thanks.

  • Ones that keep getting me lately are instance variables and adding objects to families. I wonder where they've gone then realise i clicked cancel instead because they're on the wrong side.

  • on condition, repeat "multiplyer" times, add "a" to string.

  • Thanks but i don't want to set value by a percentage i want to convert the current value back into its lerp percentage at its current stage.

    Reading the manual again i think i need to use unlerp.

    lerp(current value, 200, 12*dt)

    unlerp(start value, 200, current value)

  • Is there any way to get the lerp percentage complete from 0 to 1?

    example,

    set value to: lerp(current value, 200, 12*dt) can give you value but not lerp percentage.

    so when value is at 100 the lerp would be 0.5 half way, how do i track it current percentage complete, bare in mind the start and end value might be anything.

    Thank you.

  • Construct has 2 x/y values. one for each indiviual layer, changed by scale, and one for the canvas/screen.

    You can use the canvas to layer functions and layer to canvas function to convert the offset. In some cases you need to use one function inside the other.

    The mouse can also access the layer x/y by adding mouse(layer number).x

  • There is no bug, it's a performance issue.

    I read in another thread about recording the profile, so i'll try that instead.

  • I doubt my mac is the issue, its a few years old now but performance is good and the poor performance only happens in this instance. Also i installed Chrome simply to run C3 so there are no plugins or anything.

    The game is 2000 events because its a sim city type game and there is a lot going on. It's not an issue running the game, the issue is the C3 editor itself. It doesnt look like it can handle displaying the events.

    I guess i'll file a bug report but i don't want to upload the source file.

  • Hi, I don't have anything other than a mac, i made the jump to C3 so i no longer have to use C2 in bootcamp. Also isnt this why they made C3 browser based?

  • Hi, I just did as you suggested, shut down the chrome app then restarted my mac. Unfortunatly it's still the same. I just counted and it takes 7 seconds for menus to open and close such as the expression editor.

  • C3 has been ok for my small tests, no problems with the editor, but i imported a large c2 project of 2000 plus events and the editor is almost unusably slow. Scrolling up and down is very sluggish, as is selecting and deselecting events, and opening and closing windows takes several seconds. Resizing events is very difficult which needs to be done with lots of nested subevents as the resize handles dont register until many seconds later.

    I'm now very worried about if C3 can handle a large project.
