Thanks Ashley, it was my intention to add these new bug reports to the tracker (already added an older one) after some discussion. I'll post them first in tracker from now on and to the forum at the same time. Tonight I'll go and make sure all of these I posted are in the tracker for your convenience.

Thanks, it's the least I can do . Hopefully after I get better at construct I can find additional ways to contribute. But for now I'm focusing on testing things out as I learn Construct and updating the wiki.

Thanks,

Snoop

You can currently toggle events on and off using the button on the ribbon tool bar. It would be nice if toggle event was also available from the pop up menu you get when you right click on an event.

I tried to get the event when my sprite that has only one animation that with the default name ("Default") finished but it does not work.

On the other hand the "Any animation finished" event on the same single default animation sprite does work. I also tried using an animation name other than "Default" and it still failed to trigger the event.

I just found two possible bugs. I'll be reporting them in the bug tracker as separate bugs after confirmation. I also have a simple example CAP file that I will add to the bug reports.

Application End event is not getting triggered when the application is closed (either by clicking the window close button or by using a Application close action). The current Layout end event is also not getting triggered when the Application closes not sure if that is as intended.

The Every X millisecond event is triggering at the start of the layout as well as every X milliseconds. Every time a layout is started or re-started the Every x millisecond event will trigger regardless of time elapsed it will then continue to trigger but only every X milliseconds. I also tested the Every X ticks event in case it had similar behavior but it does not trigger at the start or restart of an application.

I tested all this by having dialog boxes pop up with the name of the event just triggered in an otherwise empty project. I originally ran into the problem in a small demo app I was creating.

Just wanted to suggest adding music loop support similar to the existing loop support for sound effects.

What's the best format for submitting suggestions? Should I post one separate thread per suggestion or should I lump several in one thread if they are not very complicated suggestions?

For example, I also wanted to suggest a Restart current layout action (I know you can just use go to current layout as well). Should that be posted separately?

Thanks,

Snoop

I've created a wiki account and added my two notes to the wiki. I'll take your advice and do my best to contribute content of value as I become more familiar with Construct.

I've added this to the bug tracker the priority is at 5 which was an error. I don't consider this high priority. I'm creating a Sourceforge account for future bug submissions.

thanks,

Snoop

Thanks for the clarification Ashley. I'll make sure to report all bugs in the bug tracker. I should have spent more time looking for it as it was right in front of my face in Construct itself .

I also updated the wiki page under Go to layout with this note:

"If the go to layout is the current layout it is restarted."

Which is what I was attempting to do in my one layout application.

Thanks,

Snoop

According to the wiki:

[quote:2o2xildv]Next Layout

Goes to next layout. If current layout is last, goes to first layout. If current layout is the only layout, reloads layout.

I tried this in the tutorial I've been following and it closes the application when there is only one layout instead of reloading it.

I created a new project added one sprite added the bullet and warp behavior to the sprite. Then added one event, "on spacebar pressed go to next layout." It also closes the application instead of restarting it.

BTW, is there a workaround?

Is this the correct place for reporting bugs?

I'm not sure if this is a bug or if it is working as designed, but I thought I should report it. It's very minor though. The Recent Documents list is showing duplicates so instead of getting the last 4 different projects I've worked with I get the same project four times (which I have worked with in the last 4 consecutive times).

I hope to add to the wiki as I figure things out that aren't already listed in it. I don't know enough yet to add in entire new articles, but I can at least add clarification to little bits here and there. Does it make sense to add things like the following?

On the "Common Properties" page add a note about "Z Order." It's not listed as a property but it is kept track of and available on the Layers tab by selecting list by Z Order. Speaking of this should this be made visible as an uneditable property like Unique ID? Could also explain how this property can be changed by using move the Order pop-up menu and using layers.

On the "DirectSound Object" page add a note about the currently missing looping support for music and list the work arounds suggested on this forum.

I don't want to add things to the wiki that don't belong there. Should I add small clarifications like these to the wiki?

Maybe I should hold of until I'm further along with learning Construct before adding to the wiki? Or is it better to update the wiki as I go along as it seems likely others will run into the same questions as I did?

Thanks,

Snoop

I'm sorry to hear that! Hope your toe starts feeling better soon Ashley!
