With the TileBG, how can I turn off the repeating texture? Like when you resize it/rotate it, you notice that it repeats the sprite over and over again. Is there a way I can turn that off?

(I'm using it instead of sprite, cause each instance of a tiledbg can have a different texture like the canvas object but canvas doesn't have Z elevation).

So is it ok to do something Every 1 second? Or is it only bad to use small millisecond events?

Don't think the installer works at all. You'll probably have to use a different installer creator software to make one.

V-sync delay makes that solution inadequate. Only way for that method to look good is to use "unlimted" framerate mode, which isn't a good idea I'm imagine.

Would a cursor plugin be hard to make? MMF2 lets you replace the mouse cursor with a picture from a sprite, so it should be possible with Construct (they both use directx).

I know about the mouse behaviour, but its unusable for being a cursor replacement due to the delay from v-sync.

This would be awesome.

Click on the Home button at the top, then click on Project under Bars heading.

What about being able to quickly change the object the event is for?

Like you click on the left side of the event, where it says "sprite2", then a new dialog comes up so you can replate it with "sprite4". Instead of having to go back?

Are you doing it manually? like:

When Right Press -> move 1 horizontally, subtract 1 from move?.

Just using "is moving" won't be enough to tell how many grids the sprite has moved.

The orthogonal perspective is an amazing addition.

For some reason, when I see people use construct they have their events squishy.

Please resize it bigger. It will increase the quality of your life.

Where abouts in the game is your problem? I didn't notice any collision issues.

However, you may find it to be better to use the "on overlapping" condition instead of the "on collision" thing for some events, maybe that might help? I dunno
