If object > Is on-Screen(inverted) > do the thing

As for memory usage:

Off-screen objects are not still rendered. Construct 2 does not issue draw calls for objects that do not appear in the window, and the GPU is also smart enough to know not to render any content that appears outside the window - even when a single image is only partially on-screen.

The layout size also does not have any direct effect; larger layouts do not use more memory or require more processing, unless you use more objects.

Thank you so much for this answer.

I have this massive layout (6500 x 4500)

Filled with objects that move and so on, is there a way to pause these objects if its not in the visible window size?

I guess take take memory even if their not visible?

Or is it possible to maybe decrease the layout size (Currently its rectangular, but the space I use is shaped like a pistol? |- <--- Like that.

Is it possible to remove layout that you don't use?

Sound always plays at full volume (0db). You can only decrease it: -5, -150,...

oh I see, Guess I gotta make it higher in a external software then?

Cheers mate

I tried to flip around, using 0.2/0,2 dB / 1dB / 2dB / 5dB but sounds / music is always the same.

Does this function do anything or is there a other way for me to controll volume?

Still no change even if I increase a lot.

are you using different layers with parallax less than 100?

if so, you need to especify which layer you are touching when comparing touch. You do that by adding ("layername") to the touch coordinate. E.g. --> Touch.X("Layer1")

For your other question:

Every tick --> Simulate pressing right

When you stand still --> set player max speed = whatever speed you want

When you move right + trigger once while true --> set player max speed = Player.8Direction.Speed * 1.2

When you move left + trigger once while true --> set player max speed = Player.8Direction.Speed * 0.8

You cant change the multipliers to get higher speed variations

Skipping the movement plates for now but got the touchpad to work!

I am currently bumping my post, thank you

Solved:

If anyone else have this problem aswell in future and searching and finding this.

I used

"System -> On start of layout (This is on the first layout, menu) -> Audio -> Preload "your music"

So right now, I have a menu with music and a Level select with music. (2 different tunes!)

They both have different event sheets.

This is how it looks on the menu

This works 100%, everytime I open the menu, I get the sound, both to play and it stops when I go to the next layout it's totally quiet, if I refresh the layout nothing happens. BUT. If I go in Construct 2 and start the layout from there, I get the sound (So it skips the menu layout).

This is how it looks in the level select layout.

How come this don't work when I switch layouts from Menu to Level select ?

Do I need to use the same event sheet for this task?

-----------------------------------------

Gonna add some extra info here as I just found out.

I get it to work if I use the SAME song (Like "menu" "menu")

this is pretty wierd

-----------------------------------------

Another edit:

Seems like it knows there is a song there, but it dosent load it or something?

-----------------------------------------

Another one (I feel like Dj Khaled)

If I would play "Level" in start menu it works in "Level Select" aswell

So aslong as I use the same music in different layouts, it works, But I cannot use 2 different?

-----------------------------------------

Another one.

I now imported a third .ogg (different)

If I use the new music in menu, the sound changes in level select.

but if I use the original it does not.

Are you sure the text is above the other in the Z order?

Share your .capx and we can look and see what's wrong.

left and right movement?

I followed this guide as a experiment.

https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/1075/m ... y-touchpad

I tried to make this instead so it will still be a touchpad (joystick--), as I don't want buttons.

So this is what I thought it would look like but it does not work for me at all, what am I doing wrong?

I want it to be like "If the touchpad gets pressed on left side, then Hero move left"

Same with right side.

------------------------------

Also since I have this thread, I have a other question.

Is there a way to implent "movement floor", I actually don't know the word for it.

Its where the floor moves to right side so this happens.

If you stand still -> Your character moves to the right You move to right -> You get boosted movement speed You move to left (against the floor) -> You get lowered movement speed

Try giving the block the Jumpthru behavior instead of Solid.

I dont want to be able to jump from beneath, its just like a standard floor, but in the air (Lets say like multiple ways to walk?) (Different paths?)

If I take platformer, and add a floating solid block in the air,

if I walk towards it in the air, my character gets 'stuck' there.

I can jump another time if I want, I think the game thinks I am standing on the ground?

The block is just a regular 20x20 size and its NOT tilted (totally flat in the air)
