  • Thank you Joskin, the UID idea is something I hadn't considered and sounds useful! I'll have to try that.

    However it isn't really a replacement for the ability to piece objects together at design time in a prefab/template style. The ability to nest objects at design time to create composite objects is a very powerful feature that would benefit many Construct 2 users, but I have no idea how difficult it would be to implement on the dev side. It is probably quite a bit of work.

    Still, if I can't find a way to do it soon, I'll head over to the general discussion and request it as a feature. Can't hurt to ask, right?

  • What I'm looking for is the ability to group objects like sprites and text under a single parent - to create a Unity-style prefab or Flash-style movieclip that retains the relative positions of the objects it contains. Ideally the parent would then treat these child objects as properties and expose them to event scripting. Is there any way to pin objects together at design time this way? The closest things I've found are the pin behavior and the container property, but neither of those does quite what I need.

    I scoured the forums and examples for awhile now looking for the answer, but based on what I could find this concept doesn't (yet) exist in Construct 2. Hopefully I'm wrong though - thanks!
