Families, containers, private variables, object pairer, plus a ton of other things, like color filter, collisions, offset, etc.

Also you can have multiple conditions for each event

I guess you could use a mask, and adjust the size of the map.

Then again, if you were to actually zoom the layer, the mask, and map position would get messed up.

You can plot what ever you want when ever you want.

For example you could have a detector sprite as large as the area you want mapped, then have an event say:

object overlaps detector.sprite

minimap plot object

Or you could even use the offset.....

Yeah, but.. if its taking up all the vram before anything else is even drawn,... I'm still screwed.

btw I tried using effects on an object to get the same thing, and well I got the same error, except now the error says its asking for 10+ mb in textures.

Also if I export to exe it runs perfect.

Oh well thanks for the info.

You should try this using the bones behavior.

Yeah as deadeye said. As it is now I can't even run the cap without getting rid of the multiply layer effect.

Also should I post it to the tracker? I mean its obviously related to my crap video card, since no one else has had the error, plus its a version 0.0 shader for crying out loud.

Any word about whats going on with the vram thing?

Its actually starting to be an issue. I can get the cap to run, but I must save, exit Construct, then open it back up. Then Its the same thing all over if I edit anything on the layout.

Edit I know its something to do with layer effects....

Thought I'd start a thread to post common, and not so common error messages.

This way new user's as well as old one's can figure out what going on without having to search the whole forum.

Might stop a lot of useless posts as well....

Ok here goes:

I get this one randomly, not sure exactly why.

Explains itself, not sure why there's an error with 0.00 used?

Any way feel free to post new ones, and explain old ones.

If I load an image for a sprite thats lets say 300 x 400, and I then resize the sprite to 75 x 100 on the layout, will I be saving any memory? Will i save any processing on the gpu, or cpu?
