  • I did. And you have it already (see other bug report). And it doesn't reproduce the problem, hence sending you the error message instead. I can't do any better, I'm afraid, since the problem can't be reproduced on my system.

  • My mistake, again. I tend to skim the preamble, even the emboldened preamble unfortunately.

  • How embarrassing. Sorry to waste your time. I can only guess that I deleted 'every tick' by accident when I added the secondary commands. As you said, it's fine now.

  • Hi I'm Ash aka smallbear.

    I had intended to use Construct to help me prototype a massively complex web app that I don't even understand.

    Along the way I've rediscovered my love of games and my desire to find an accessible way into programming.

    In the past I've tried most of the 3D game creators like Alice and Sandbox but they always overreach themselves and get frustrating very quickly.

    I'm intrigued by the possibilities not only of prototyping but also of storytelling and animation too.

    Don't match the contents of the Free Assets Pack. Unless I'm very much mistaken. The Free pack seems to be a Space Pack, and lacks the sprite-strip; so I can't complete the tutorial.

    Observed result:

    see above and see pic in link showing entire contents (or, folders, at least) of Free Asset Pack.

  • Just answered another of my own questions: it's the Object Expressions Window - which has a display bug and wasn't showing up before - it sort of stutters in and out of existence. Now it's all beginning to make sense, thanks me.

    You're welcome.

  • Thanks for the explanation.

    I've figured it out myself:

    event sheet>mouse>cursor is over 'tiledbackground'>mouse>set cursor to>none.

    It still doesn't explain why mouse object appears in tutorial screenshot and not in my project. Perhaps, like so many other things, it's a version issue.

  • Yes, as per the instructions. And I've got to the point of adding the 'Every Tick, set angle' function.

  • I should mention: I want to hide the mouse cursor. But I also want to see the list of actions/behaviours as per the tutorial.

  • I'm working my way through the Beginner's Guide and a persistent problem is getting to me.

    I cannot Add behaviours to the mouse. When I click the mouse in the layout view, I cannot add behaviours. When I search the manual they list all the behaviours one can add - but no instructions.

    I finally decided to post this problem because now the Beginner's Guide shows the Mouse Object appearing in the Objects panel - which just isn't true.

    I've done all the steps in order, carefully and have received no error messages. The game works and I know I've done it right.

    The manual should state clearly 'how to add behaviours'.

    Clicking on 'Help' doesn't help at all. There are no instructions. Just a list that states the obvious.

    I'm halfway down Page 2.

    I realise that in a few days of reading 'I might' learn why this action is so unintuitive/obstructive, but I've already given it 2 days and it's holding me back from learning now. Please help, it can't be this hard.
