  I actually do think it has uses. The main point is that the loader layout specifically is loaded and displayed as quick as possible, while the first layout of the game keeps loading in the background. And you can customize the look of the loader layout, artificially delay actually loading into the game etc.

  Wouldn't sound preloading be the possible cause if there's a lot of sounds.

  Try unchecking the preloading, and if you need you could manually load them in the loader layout.

  Unless it's something construct-specific you probably have better luck asking on the newgrounds forum or their Discord. See bottom of the page here newgrounds.io/help

  Setting a global variable should be relatively easy to do. I'd assume the newgrounds API probably returns it along with some other values. Probably a JSON object.

  Your code should look something like this (I did not look at how this actually works, I'm mostly guessing here)

  var newgrounds = [login call];
  runtime.globalVars.yourvariable = newgrounds.username;

  Just as a rough idea of pseudocode

  if (player.enterdoor("id") && enemy.isfollowing) enemy.gotodoor("id") If(enemy.gotodoor("id") && enemy.collisionwithdoor("id")) enemy.gothroughdoor("id")

  Just in case you ever want to use lerp in your game, it uses a slightly different formula with deltatime.

  I'd highly appreciate this so I don't end up on my picker layout for the 9467th time on accident. No votes left, sry.

  Though in a sense the blame is on me for not using the super simple keyboard shortcuts.

  It's more likely that you just add an additional 13 errors on top once you put it into an apk.

  Export debug apks frequently and from the beginning to verify that what you are doing actually works on the device as an app.

  Works fine here. Gives me something like this if I try it.

  + System: On start of layout -> System: Set layer 0 angle to 0 degrees

  construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/scripting/guides/subclassing-instances

  I have a subclass. Can I somehow get data into the constructor like so?

  

  I'm creating it with

  runtime.objects.projectile.createInstance("main",playerObj.x,playerObj.y, true)

  I am still often consulting the documentation and I noticed that scrolling is broken in a very annoying way.

  watch.screencastify.com/v/L8b4uLe6XwhcArWeG0oI

  If I wanna select a plugin on the left side that's off-screen I have to scroll through the entire page to get there.

  Haha I've seen that before. It's a benign issue tho.
