This is what I do when I only have one layout.

Construct 2 is great, but there are room for improvement. Like this, which saves time. Ideally you would have a shortcut key for the feature as well.

Hi.

It would be nice to be able to jump to a function, if you rightclick a call Function event.

So if you have a Call "someFunction" (), and you right click that line you would be able to "jump to function" and construct 2 will then show the function in the right event sheet. ready for you to edit.

Right now I have to use the Search function to find my function code.

Do I have to install a plugin to use the console logs?

You can't toggle a breakpoint on a trigger event..... So If I wan't to see what happens when I click a button.. That is not possible.

Hi.

I have a button, that acts strangely when I click the button.

But I am unable to debug, because you can't place a breakpoint on a triggered event.

That so sucks!

Sorry Love Construct 2, but this is something I hope will be changed in a future update.

Yes families are good if its the same type of sprite object. But I use spritetext, sprites and tiles to make up the score board.

And you can only place the same type of object into a family.

Hi.

I have a group of sprites, spite texts, etc that makes up a scorecard that is shown at game over etc.

Is there an easy way to group these objects, so I can hide or show them without having to write actions that hides or shows the individual objects.

I do not think containers work for this or can you foreach object in container?

HA YES!

BRILLIANT

Hi.

It would be so nice if construct 2 actually showed the instance names of the objects in the event sheets.

If you have 4 different arrays or dictionary, you are shown the same button icon for all 4.

You have to double click the action, so see the name of the instance, which makes event searching hard.

I would love to be able to have the actual instance names shown and be searchable instead of just the icon.

Ok thanks

Hi developers of Construct 2

Why can't I select objects in the Z-Order bar?

If I want to be able to select an instance that is below everything I have to move it to the top before I can select it and edit the property sheet?

It would be much more nice if I could select the instances shown in the Z order bar, align them center them etc.

Hi developers of Construct 2

I would really like better refactoring tools.

This is my scenario.

I have an object with x number of instance variables. At some point in my development, I realize that it would make sense to create an object family and that some of these instance variables should be moved to the family.

First problem is that If I create an instance variable on the family it can not be created with the same name. So I have to find all usages of the original instance variable and change that to the new family instance variable (this is why I would like to see a find / replace feature)

Then I have to delete the object instance variable and rename the family instance variable.

Find and replace in the event sheets, is a pain.

Moving instances and objects around is a pain.

Construct 2 is cool, but sometimes it would be so nice if I could just edit the source code directly
