  • Problem Description

    Everytime I try to create or add an event theres an error sound and no window pops up.

    Attach a Capx

    This happend to all my projects. I believe the program is the problem.

    Steps to Reproduce Bug

    • Happends right away, either by reopening an existing project or a new one.

    Observed Result

    Click on "Add-event" or double click nor right-click doeans't work. Creating new sheets or edit existing once doesn't change it either. Re-installing only the Personal Version or the Free version or both at the same time didn't work either.

    Expected Result

    A window to pop up where I can choose the event.

    Operating System and Service Pack

    Windows 7 Home Premium with Service Pack 1

    Construct 2 Version ID

    I'm using Release 214 (64-bit/Steam) using the Personal Licence

    Solution

    So I figured the solution and just wanted to leave it here for people with the same problem.

    The story was that I rearange my workplace, meaning I placed my second monitor now left instead on the right side of my notebook. And I used to place the pop up window, every time you open "add-event", on my second monitor.

    And somehow, I believe not just Construct 2, the program remembers the place where it use to open the pop up window. So I couldn't see it at all even though it should be on the same window.

    I think it opens the windows according to the last position it used to open up and not the screen, in my case on the right side.

    Just temporary place your screens in the windows settings back to where it used to be and open up the windows you dont see and drag them to the main screen.

    Have a great day

  • Thanks fldr!

    Those are very detailed informations and also new ones to me. I know of FGL but they demand to much of paperwork to get yourself registered there, that I wouldn't mind now though. Do you or does anybody else here have some deals/experiences in FGL?

    I know of the second guy you are talking about. The numbers are insane, but still I like to believe. I think its a unknown gap of knowledge and skills in marketing that he is by far superior than many of us here.

    There's so few information about this kind of mater on the internet and all very hard to find since not everybody feel like talking about their secrets of success.

    I've spend days programming until I felt asleep at my desk. Do new html5 developers even get any chances out there or is this all a hustle for nothing?

  • True, still I do appreciate every little bit of C2! I just wrote a nice looking game with lots of lots of functions below 300 lines of codes. You can still work around everything, I don't mind polishing some of my coding skills .

    So thank you Ashley and of course Team Scirra for the fast & smooth engine!

  • Apparently I just did my own hitbox detection, sorry for double post!

  • The feature could save alot of time and lines of codes, but it isn't implemented yet right?

    So... does anybody have a another solution?

  • Hi ,

    I've been tring to compare a text variable, kappavar, that for example stored "Kappa" as a string in the "compare two values" event.

    [kappavar == "kappa"]

    Most times it returned false and sometimes it did return true, but not because it was the same string.

    I know this because I listed many of the comparison events in the same group and all of them, with different strings comaprison, returned true!

    Right now I have it working like this:

    [-1 < find(kappavar,"kappa") Is there a better way to compare strings & text variable? Thanks!

  • Yes! Thank you very much! That worked out pretty well.

    I have an example of the function in my twitch game/overlay. If you feeling like testing it just take a look .

    You can write with in the chat with the command "!grumpy <your text>" and it will be sidplayed on the stream.

    I'll make sure to credit you there

    Have a nice holiday!

  • Hi! ,

    So I'm trying to make a speech bubble scrolling a text, but the text size (number of characters) is too big for the textbox.width and so I was thinking about having it substract the string's first character every x second.

    It'll look like its scrolling to the left while actually the string is getting smaller at the front.

    I've been trying with loops, arrays etc. has someone done something like this before?

    Thank you very much for reading!
