You could gradually subtract from the y velocity of the platform behavior.

You can try timing how long the animation takes to run and see if it's exact. Say you have 3000 frames with a animation speed of 60. If it's exact it should take 50 seconds.

If it is not exact you could set the animation speed to 0 and manually calculate which frame to use with events.

start of layout:

-> play music

time <= 50

-> set animation frame to int(time*60)

The zip object is causing the crash. Either remove it or make it global. If you use it you need to use it's conditions to see if it's ready.

For example this will crash:
+ System: Start of layout -> ZIP: Open archive "data.zip" -> Text: Set text to ZIP.Files

This won't

+ System: Start of layout -> ZIP: Open archive "data.zip" + ZIP: Archive opened -> Text: Set text to ZIP.Files + System: End of layout -> ZIP: Close archive

Make the objects global in your first layout and that should do it.

Can't you move the camera with a behavior that doesn't respond to solid objects. Or perhaps you could do the camera motion with just events.

Here's an idea on how to do the magnet repulsion and attraction:

While you can create by name, you can't pick by name. A workaround is to have a private variable "init" which is by default 0. It indicates if the object was loaded completely.

There is no grouping done here. Right now you're just spawning different objects on one object type. You could pair the spawned object with the spawner by storing the UID of one in a private variable of the other.

Give me a more complete description of what you want to do and I can give you a more specific answer.

Instead of spawning "enemy" just spawn the objects you want at those spots.

* Add another private variable to spw2 and call it "toSpawn" then change it to the name of the object you want to spawn.

* Edit the spawn action and right click "object" and select "use expression".

* Then input Spw2.Value('toSpawn')

You can set the default sampling in the project properties. You can override the sampling per layer in the layer properties.

You could use a black sprite that covers the screen and change it's opacity. For a smooth transition you could try using the sine behavior or the lerp expression.

Construct 2 uses polygon collisions, the approach you're trying would require per pixel collision which Construct 2 doesn't have.

You can either:

A. Break the image up into tiles.

or B. Add invisible boxes over the image for the collisions.
