  Thank you R0J0hound and XHXIAIEIN for pointing me in the right direction. I'll do some tests.

  XHXIAIEIN you mentioned that it isn't optimized. Did you bring that up because you noticed a significant slowdown, especially compared to pasting frames? I thought shifting uvs would be faster.

  I'm trying to load a local atlas sprite and create animations and frames at runtime. I'm able to load images, and it seems it is also possible to add sprites and frames. But how can I cut the images to add them as frames for the sprite? The solutions I've found below refer to plugins using C2, but can't seem to find any info when using C3, while the rest are unresolved. Is this not possible?

  You can use round, floor, ceil, or int. Maybe do it it every tick?

  Also, I encourage you take a look at the documentation (it's thorough and easy to understand) and use the search function in the forum. Chances are, your question was already asked and there is already a solution. Might be best to avoid posting multiple times about the same/related subject to prevent clutter in the forum and also to help other people who are searching the forum.

  Hope that helps. Cheers!

  Simplest way to fix that is to use bilinear for the sampling. As I said, it's falling on a decimal coordinate. You will get a bit of blurriness from the anti-aliasing. Another way is to round the coordinates to make sure there is no decimal.

  I'm not sure that's possible, but if you're not using physics for the collisions and are merely using a hurt or hitbox, you can use image points, loop through it and draw boxes using those points. You can then use those to check for collisions.

  And you're sure you turned off pixel rounding? Like I said, need more details. Can you send your capx, so we can take a look.

  When I started out, I was actually using pick by UID too, but found that it was easier to just pick objects by a custom instance variable (e.g. name). You can pick by evaluate or comparison. For me, that beats remembering numbers.

  You can also reference instances by picking with IID in an expression:

  Example:

  if (Sprite(0).x > Sprite(1).x)

  -- do something

  Cleaner and shorter, but just keep in mind that it can get tricky since IIDs can change, unlike UIDs.

  reference:

  construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/project-primitives/events/expressions

  You can add a zero-based object index to get expressions from different object instances. For example Sprite(0).X gets the first Sprite instance's X position, and Sprite(1).X gets the second instance's X position. For more information see index IDs (IIDs) in instances. You can also pass another expression for the index. Negative numbers start from the opposite end, so Sprite(-1).X gets the last Sprite's X position.

  I haven't seen the Glokar example, but you can choose what properties to affect when using pin.

  Need more details, and I'm not sure I got your question, but if I had to guess, you have pixel rounding on. If that's the case, you need to make sure that your object doesn't rotate or fall in a decimal coordinate. Otherwise, it will round to the nearest pixel, which can lead to some unexpected results/distortions.

  Or another workaround is to work on a higher resolution and scale up your objects. This way there will be "subpixels" to accomodate non-pixel perfect coordinates and rotations.

  Pick the first instance, save it to a temporary local variable, then pick the second instance and compare it then.

  Hello! I noticed that I can't type in anything in html input fields when I upload the game on scirra arcade. Does anybody know the reasoning behind it, and if it is possible to make it work?

  For example, in my gamehttps://www.construct.net/en/free-online-games/gun-seconds-remix-43952/play, you can type in your name in the top part of the main menu. When on scirra arcade, I can't seem to type/erase anything.

  Oh, it works now! I had the physics world gravity set to the variable gravity, so it messed things up. Thank you! R0J0hound WackyToaster. It also works perfect even when I change the timescale!
