[quote:29r4e99r]Is it worth posting in the bug tracker now that development has been passed on? Has the tracker been passed on too?
It is just as worth it as it was before. Bug trackers are invaluable to any Construct developer to identify and fix bugs.

No there isn't a expression for that. You can name your animations "1","2","3",... if you want to access them by number.

It has been discussed before, the save\load buttons in the script editor are not fully implemented at the moment.

For behaviors like platform and 8direction you can set "ignoring input". For MouseKeybord there is no action for disabling it.

But if you add MouseKeyboard to a container with another object that can be destroyed, then the Mousekeyboard can be destroyed, effectively disabling it. To re-enable just create a new MouseKeyboard, but be sure to only make one.

A better solution would be to use a global variable comparison with all your keyboard events:

ex:

+ System: Is global variable 'MouseKeyboardaActive' Equal to 1

+ MouseKeyboard: On key Enter pressed

Looking at it again it doesn't seem to use up as much vram as I originally thought.

You can keep the vram usage low by making the canvas smaller scale.

For a layout with a size of 2560x1920 and a canvas 1/8th (320x240) the size of the layout ~6 mb vram is used in this example.

What if I haven't used families yet?

I was talking about caps that are having issues with families. If you haven't used families yet then you should have no issues using them now. You can fix broken caps made in previous versions manually by removing the families completely then re-adding them.

Here is a solution that may be of interest.

Did you check "Force own texture" in the fov layer?

I updated the example with a grayed fog of war. I used a canvas 1/4 the size of the layout, for large layouts this method is inefficient because it will require a large amount of video memory.

For other ideas:

It wouldn't be easier because you would have to implement saving and loading of cap files on top of doing the same thing that would be done in Construct itself.

That being said, if one was to make a library to save and load caps it would be easier for such a program to exist and easier for more people to be able to make it.

This game was made without the 3d object, only sprites with displacement maps.

Have you tried the erase effect?

The "Your Creations" section has many examples that can be considered "advanced". What exactly are you looking for?
