  Link to .capx file (required!):

  http://

  Steps to reproduce:

  1. load .caproj

  2. press ctrl->S or save icon

  3. wait patiently for nothing to happen

  Observed result:

  tries to save to an non-existing .capx file, I see it creating a back-up file with extention file.capx.backup1 but I had only saved it as filename.caproj.

  Expected result:

  save my file, instead lost 2 hours worth of work.

  Hi,

  usually when developing using functions I can do this:

  function setItems(item = "Can"){

  echo item;

  }

  In Construct 2 is it possible to have that control of function parameters where I can use them as an action like a object e.g.

  |system| on start of layout| function shoot(item = "can")|

  |On function shoot| param(0)|move Y(200)|

  any way to do this thanks or a way to use this

  hello,

  I am trying to implement shooting a target with a slingshot object in sight like DOOM with a gun and shooting target at a target range.

  what I am stuck on is creating the motion of bullet trying to create artificial intelligence of throwing/shooting something forward and targeting close and far away targets.

  If I am able to use layers or layouts to show up in the space behind and have their objects detect collision of bullet and move around

  I would like to make the game available for any format or device

  thanks

  quick idea

  What about setting text variable ie:

  Global variable: spawn_order = "blue,red,grey,white"

  and then using TokenAt you could separate and specify which one will spawn first, second, third...

  What a great idea for an alternative to Arrays.. complicate things why don't you?.

  //* CAUTION CODE AHEAD */

  if I

  store spawn_order = "blue,red,grey,white"

  inPlay = | spawn_order(TokenAt(random(0,4))|

  foreach spaw_order | == inPLay|

  call function | loadInplay(inPLay)

  function loadInPlay(inPlay)

  if inPLay == red|

  use |system createObject( red)

  this is just a rough idea, no screenshots as yet just thinking off the top of my head

  /* END OF CODE */

  would this get a random colour?

  Thanks for your reply,

  I have become more familiar with both the manual and developing with construct 2, amazingly fast worth the money.

  I did read about the JavaScript SDK and see that I am at complete control with including other JavaScript librarys.

  what do you suggest for a good tutorial breakdown on how an already made plugin or behavior was made?

  Hello,

  I am new to Construct 2 and love it's simplicity, it reminds me of using Alice 2 back in the day.

  I was wondering whether there is anything stopping me including say three.js javascript library into a pluging using the SDK

  What I really need to know is can I just script three.js in the runtime.js file if it is included??

  Your thoughts please
