  They would add Dogecoin, but I hear it's pretty ruff.

  I think shutting down, or being bought out are less likely with the subscription model.

  If it's profitable that is, and at this point that probably just comes down to management.

  You certainly don't see a subscription business being bought out, and then shut down.

  That's like chopping the head off of the golden goose.

  Nah, just wish them the best of health, and worry about getting your crap done.

  I don't know. You have a lot of for each's in there, and that random() value in the timer is not a good idea either.

  "For each" has no place in any of it.

  Its objectA has los to objectB, do stuff

  Or this variable = some value

  The triggers set together in the same condition as the for each are redundant, and actually slow down the system, as you are forcing them to be checked each tick, when the idea behind triggered conditions is to not have to check each tick.

  Events run every tick, so the "every tick" condition is pretty much pointless.

  Use the line of sight behavior.

  Maybe never use every tick, ever again.

  And never ever use for each every tick.

  I didn't know you could get a variable like that.

  Then again I'm not even sure Im using the right variable.

  Thanks for the info guys.

  The basic idea is add stuff till it stops working.

  That's when you know the limit.

  Thats why its good to develop on a slow machine.

  What's the best method for getting the return value from a .js script placed on the index.html?

  If it doesn't work when you do it, then I'd say probably not.

  It's not supported due to lag times, cross domain issues etc.

  Many of the plugs have the ability to load textures via url however.

  I would check out whatever your host offers, since it's a good bet it works there.

  I don't consider Websockets fast enough for action type games regularly, but if you don't want the peer to peer from the Construct multiplayer, then it should get pretty close.
