I'm trying to get a player character from 1 layout to the next. When I try to adjust the position of the player to the correct entry-point of the layout, he spontaneously teleports to somewhere out of the screen. It's all very frustrating, and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Please help

Why not add Malbolge and Brainf*ck to the list as well? Should be just as possible.

what you want would take a complete rewrite of Construct, and make the development time greater than that of Duke Nukem Forever.

My first attempt at pixel art, so be gentle.

I have a little issue with the 'objects' bar (the one that sits in between the layout editor and the 'Properties' bar).

When I right-click in the objects-bar, and select the menu-option 'show object tree', the object bar becomes gray, and no longer responds to any mouse clicks.

Is it me, or is it an issue with Construct?

so...I heard a rumor in the chatz about 99.4 maybe this weekend?

That would be awesome. Can the developers confirm this rumor?

I tinkered a bit with it and came to the following conclusions:

It's not the layout that's getting resized, just the objects in the layout that have some effect applied to them. I added a sprite object to layout 2, and pushing buttons had no effect on it. If the it was the layout that was changing size, it would affect the sprite too.

I think there's an issue with using effects on objects in a layout that is inside a layout object.

For the record, I used version 99.2

I just downloaded the latest version of Construct (99.2), and I noticed, that when the object bar is closed, there is no button that I can find that turns it back on. The buttons for everything else are present, but the object bar is, once closed, can not be reopened.

Am I missing something?

Now I'm getting 400-600 FPS. But I think it looks a lot better now. Especially on the fence I got from google images.

Can you guys tell me your FPS.

I'm getting 66 fps when the sun is completely blocked, and above 500 when not blocked at all.

You can speed up the first situation up to 6 times by replacing 'wall' with 'bloomraycaster' in events 7 and 8.

your new example seems to lack rays surface area, theres pretty much on or off, and nothing inbetween. thats where most of the cpu drain in our example comes from, the in betweens

Actually, the ray-thingies come out depending on the settings of the light-object. If you make the shadow-filter a lighter colour, then you get less rays. If you make it darker, your sun will shine less brightly, but you will get more rays.

I've been tinkering with this thing some more. This now comes with bigger rays, brighter bloom, etc.

It also changes colour depending on the position on screen for something of a sunrise effect.

I can't get that to work. I've worked around it by changing the colour of the layer the light is on, and that does the trick.

Right now there is no function to change the shadow filter of a light object. I'd like to see one, please.

You mean like this?

I guess my computer is a little bit more powerful than yours.

Your example ran at speeds between 70 and 120 FPS.

My changes have upped this to speeds between 350 and 650 FPS.

My bloomers go from the outside to the inside. This makes the bloom effect a little smoother.

Also, I added a check to see if a bloomer is likely to be stuck in a wall, so that the loop can be skipped altogether for that bloomer. This can save huge amounts of time. For instance, of your light-object is behind the hill, it will save 180*42 overlap checks per frame.

I changed the loop to a while loop for greater control over when it will stop looping. I noticed an issue with the while-loop, though. It doesn't work with normal overlap conditions. You need to use the advanced overlap check (in the system object).
