  Ah of course, many thanks! In any case, I tried it on a friend's machine, and it works fine. <img src="smileys/smiley19.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Sorry for being a timewaster!

  Seconding what Arima says, what's more important is that it 'feels' right, which means keeping the style consistent. Obviously in a 3d game these kinds of issues are more apparent, but for 2d sprites, so long as it flows, there's no problem at all!

  Ah yes, I was trying to attach one, but couldn't find the button to attach it - I tried to add a hyperlink to it instead, but my reputation isn't high enough yet. Am I missing an obvious button for attachments or something like that? Many thanks.

  In fullscreen mode, Awesomium crashes after the same amount of time, every time. Keyboard inputs are still accepted as far as I can tell, but all the screen stops updating. This happens with any project I export as a desktop app, and with every Awesomium exe I make, although ONLY in fullscreen, and always after the same amount of time, approximately 13 seconds.

  That... just might be the best solution of all! So simple I hadn't even considered it. Will give it a go, thankyou! <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

  Hi everybody, you all seem pretty clued up, so maybe you can help me! Relatively new to Construct 2, but the forums have helped me a heck of a lot so far. Here's my problem:

  I have a set of objects that I want to each 'sink' into the ground when they get hit. Now, the view is kind of isometric, so I have to have it so that they get masked or something as they drop below a certain coordinate. Then I was going to destroy them once they disappeared from sight.

  The closest I got was using Tiled Background and just shrinking their height, but then I lost the effect of them tilting or falling over on the way down, which I'm loathe to lose. So then I started reading about masks and blending effects, and by the sound of that, every single building might have to be on a different layer, which would be a little tricky for me. At the moment I've got all the buildings on the same layer, sorted by z-order.

  Basically, the effect I'm going for is like this:

  If anybody knows a way of doing this, I would be very grateful indeed!
