  • Ahh right, that'll be okay actually. It might be easier when I have multiple stuff I need to hide/show

  • Hold on... toggling visibility doesn't apply to the other container objects, so this works differently to how I expected. I still have to toggle visibility on all objects separately?

    I've got a container with text and bounding box, and I'm toggling visibility with a keypress, but I still have to toggle visibility on each objects independently, even though they're in a container?

  • I just read up about containers. I actually think that's a much neater solution than pinning, and will experiment with that. Thanks

  • Ahh thanks EncryptedCow, so toggling visibility is the wrong way of looking at it, I should be moving the box on/off screen!

  • Awesome thanks, I hadn't noticed that property tucked in there. This'll make my life much easier!

  • Hi guys, I'm still working through my very first project and need some advice. I've got a dialog box which needs to be shown/hidden on a key press, and this dialog box includes a textbox. Obviously I could use separate events to hide show the dialog and the textbox separately, but I wondered if there's a way to group several objects into one object, so I can show/hide them with just one expression?

    Thanks!

  • Hi guys, is there a better best-practice for having multiple layouts with one controlling event sheet? I can't find a tutorial.

    Like sqiddster I want to have multiple layouts/levels, but don't want to have a separate event sheet for each, in case I need to make changes to the logic!

  • Also if you ever make a movie out of this, you should use this as your movie tagline:

    "Ship is full of Bullets. Use them to Defeat the Enemies."

  • Hi, I downloaded your game today on my Samsung Galaxy S2 phone, and it looked different to the web version on your blog. On the main screen the image did not stretch full width, and there was a black bar on the right . Also if I select "freefly" from the menu, I cannot select level 1, it's grayed out.

    When I played the game there was a vertical red line on the left. I wondered maybe if you hadn't tried it on all screen sizes?

    Also when I start the game, a bullet always seems to appear from the right and hit me!

  • Hi guys, I'm very new to Construct 2, and want to chart some of my development and show my WIP on a blog somewhere. I've seen people post WIP here on the forums (this seems like an excellent community btw!), but I wondered where the best place was for putting WIP, whilst also documenting my progress? I don't want to spam the forums, but I do want to write down my development - for my own benefit because I have a poor memory, and for the benefit of anyone else who might be interested in following along.

    Would a blog be a good idea?

  • Oh hello.... I installed Construct 2 (free) last week, and have been going through the tutorials. I'm really amazed at how simple it is, but also seems (so far at least) to be able to do some very advanced stuff, things that would take me a long time in JavaScript.

    So yeah, I'll hopefully be using it to create some HTML5 games. I love everything I've seen about Construct 2 so far!
