  Hi to all. I tried searching the forum and tutorials, but could not find a definite, up-to date answer on this question:

  What are the monetizing options for a Windows Phone 8.1 game for C2 developers?

  As far as ads are concerned:

  • pubCenter is out: it can only be used on Windows 8.1 and not Windows Phone 8.1, since Microsoft has no SDK (yet?) for the HTML5/JS project type C2 exports
  • AdMob: is out as well, since the C2 GUI dialog when inserting a new object states that the AdMob object is only for Intel XDK.

  I couldn't find any other ad providers that can be used.

  Therefore, the only solution for Windows Phone 8.1 developers is to charge for their game and probably use the platform's "Trial mode" to "lure" users to their game?

  Are the thoughts correct or have I missed something?

  Thanks - you are absolutely right. I thought that the function object referred to each individual function, but it's on a different level of abstraction.

  This also applies to all layouts - you add one function object and then use it to call functions from all event sheets.

  Thanks again.

  Hi all - this is my first post here, as I recently started checking out Construct 2. It takes some getting used to, as everything new, and for some platforms HTML 5 support is not mature yet, but overall it's a very pleasant experience.

  In the first game I'm trying to make, I have added a function to control the spawning of new enemies and it worked as intended. Later on, I tried to add another function to handle pausing... but I cannot find the function object in the "Insert new object" dialog any more. It's very strange.

  Initially, I thought that it happened because had somehow messed up my installation, but if I create a new project from scratch, I can add a new function just fine.

  I also thought that it may be a limit to the Free edition, but I didn't find any such mention in the C2 versions comparison table.

  I didn't find any mention of such a problem in the forum, so, here I am, posting my first question.

  Any ideas on why this happens?

  Regards,
