  Ashley Whoops, I accidentally saved the capx when I was messing around with it to see exactly what was causing the bug. If you redownload the capx from the original post, you should see the assertion failure - if not,here it is.

  Ashley it doesn't reproduce on my machine, and the drivers are over 2 years old.

  Something else to think about is the fact that I created the example capx by deleting everything in a larger project - this may be significant.

  Nobody's really building big games for the mobile with C2 due to memory and performance limitations.

  (I may be wrong)

  Kazan to make it hit the target as well, all you have to do is add a family - instead of checking for collision with the 'obstacle', check for collision with the family. Then, just add the obstacle AND the target to that family.

  Whenever you set the player gravity angle, set an instance variable (e.g. 'GravityAngle') instead. then, you just need one event saying:

  every tick: Set player platform gravity angle to Player.GravityAngle

  It's really not that hard to keep track of this with your own instance variable.

  I second the array table idea, that would be fantastic.

  Here's how I usually like to go about lasers. You can play with those values to change the maximum range and precision.

  It's a good idea to change the 'obstacle' object reference into a family reference (e.g. 'LaserBlocking' so you can have multiple objects block the laser, but I wasn't sure if you had the free edition).

  I have no idea why it was over 30mb, that was really weird. I saved it as a project folder, then saved that as a capx, and that fixed it. Very odd.

  ash1221 this is an old thread, and most of the original suggestions are impossible to implement.

  You can open links in the browser with the 'browser' object.

  I'll also be (very very sadly) too far away from London to attend however I think that sounds like a fun idea.

  Link to .capx file (required!):

  dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/41931267/WeirdLoadIssue.capx

  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Run the layout

  2. Press 'S' to save

  3. Press 'L' to load

  Observed result:

  Assertion failure error

  Expected result:

  No assertion failure.

  Note that the error only occurs when the first event is running. It's some weird combination of adjusting it's own value and % by 0 that's the problem.

  Browsers affected:

  Chrome: yes

  Firefox: yes

  Internet Explorer: yes
