  I might have answered my own question.

  If you have anything to add, let me know.

  What are your thoughts to add options in the debugger to emulator a slower pc? Chromium browsers apparently have an option to throttle the CPU and memory usage.(https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8521683/is-there-a-way-to-throttle-javascript-performance-to-simulate-a-slow-client) And someone mentioned to go to windows power options and set it very low.

  Would it be wise or useful to have this option also in the Construct debugger? Or is that unwanted extra work for Scirra and an unnecessary duplicated feature?

  Do you have any other ideas, than to turn on an older PC, to test my game quickly how it runs on older/slower PC's?

  In the tutorial-image below there is a scroll to-action.

  How is it possible that the left screen is following player 1 and the right screen is following player 2, while the action only scrolls to player2?

  Question 2: what should I change if I want the players to walk endlessly out of the layout left and right? (it seems now it is built on the condition player player.x > 0 and everyone stays inside the layout)

  What about this?

  When Dop2000 comes along, Dop2000 will offer a clean solution.

  What would be an example of when you rather use a function and when you would use a custom action?

  (I have read the manual.

  construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/project-primitives/events/custom-actions)

  From the manual:

  "Set stepping iterations. Set the number of velocity iterations and position iterations used in the physics engine. The default is 8 and 3 respectively. Lower values run faster but are less accurate, and higher values can reduce performance but provide a more realistic simulation."

  Would you please describe me examples of when you used this option "set stepping iterations"?

  Examples are easier for me to understand it.

  Thank you in advance.

  You can try rough troubleshooting:

  - in the event change the position of the player to another x and y. (will the player move if it's somewhere else?)

  - check in debug if you can move the x or y when the player is stuck

  - are there events that control movement of player? Disable all, except walking

  - does the player have variables that control movement? Check these in debug when it's stuck.

  Did you try this article first?

  construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/plugin-reference/multiplayer

  I think this will answer your question. (and check tutorial 4, or first start with tutorial 3 for the foundation)

  If an image as 9patch object has a color and you decrease the opacity, is it normal to see squares in the edges?

  I am afraid to do false bug reporting, so asking here first.

  Thank you.

  If I do the following, the condition is not met.

  And I do not understand why.

  How do I turn the gamepad-analog stick on y-axis >0 into a triggered event, so that it only alters the variable once if true.

  In the main menu I want to change a variable value (menu selection) by using the analog stick on a gamepad.

  Problem right now: when analog stick is down or up, the variable does not get triggered once, but every tick.

  The problem I have is that the analoge stick condition depends on if the y-orientation is in a certain value. This results in a on/off condition for multiple ticks.

  I do not have this problem with keyboard as input, because I can select "on pressed", which is a triggered condition.

  What is a good simple practise to implement my own on trigger mechanism?

  Should I make a local "trigger" variable that switches on if the analog stick moves up or down? (the trigger will then prevent the condition to run several ticks)

  My player sprite has physics + platform behaviour.

  When it jumps, the revolute joint with another object lags behind.

  Is that a known issue if you combine those 2 behaviours?
