  It has to do with video memory. And yes you should keep that in mind as much as possible, for everything!

  Scale inner and outer are your best bets for removing letterboxes.

  For your hud - you can dynamically set the position of hud elements using viewport expressions.

  If you have an origin, imagepoint, or placeholder object in the center of the player sprite, you can use that point to check if it is overlapping the ladder sprite. If it is, then at least 50% of your player sprite should be on the ladder.

  The simplest way would be to make the unique player the host. If you join a game, you will be part of the team, if you host the game, you will be solo.

  Use the system layer expressions. For example you can subtract viewportleft from player.x to get the player's position relative to the viewport.

  The first two problems are related - to set the origin frame, you would use the action Block - Set originalframe to Block.AnimationFrame.

  The swiping was more complicated than I expected without Families (I'm assuming you're using the free version of C2), so I've put together an example with comments here (with help from R0J0hound) -

  The next thing to figure out would probably be how to handle looping - I've included a bit for when newcolor is higher than the amount of animation frames you have, then it will loop back by using % (modulo). I didn't add that for when you tap the colors though - so if your color tries to change to a color higher than the number of animation frames you have, it will just get stuck.

  Thanks R0J0, saving relevant information to local variables and repicking worked well.

  With multiple instances of an object, how would I set up conditions to pick two that for example are overlapping (or the same angle), if I didn't have access to families?

  ObjectA is overlapping ObjectA seems to always run, I guess as each instance is always overlapping itself.

  Capx would help troubleshoot. Image path correct? In quotes? Same domain?

  Actually I can begin to envision a MMO along the lines of Realm of the Mad God being done in Construct now with the multiplayer plugin. All the functionality should be there. It would still be a massive undertaking though.

  You need to make a counter. The simplest way to do this would be with an instance variable on your object. It starts at 0. Add a condition so that your "jump" control only works when CounterVariable<4. Whenever you jump, add one to CounterVariable. After you reach 4, you will no longer be able to jump. Then add an event to reset CounterVariable to 0, such as when you land.

  The logic would be to actually have the world/background doing the moving. Create the next section of the background off screen and have it move in view. When the last section of the world leaves the visible screen, destroy it.

  Check out the Vertical Space Shooter Template that comes with Construct, it might give you some ideas. Instead of enemies/bullets spawning and being destroyed, it would be your world/background sprites.
