[quote:15zk0ssg]In my game, I use the OID of sprites a lot. However, Construct has for, some reason, given two sprites the same OID. Is this normal?
It is normal, OID is unique for each object type, so two instances of the same type will have the same OID.

[quote:15zk0ssg]Is there a way to influence Construct so that OIDs will be at least different from each other each time?
You want to use UID, it is unique for each object, so no two objects will ever have the same UID.

Instead of using global variables use a hash table.

Ex:

Tochicool, it seems that although you have enough vram to edit caps you don't have enough to edit and run the caps at the same time. What you can do is export the cap to an exe, close construct and run the exported exe. I'm fairly sure that would work, at least you can run examples that way. I'd recommend getting a video card with more vram though, since it's a really slow workflow to have to keep closing construct to run the cap.

One way to have the pieces stick is to group them with a private variable. The only tricky part is setting the private variables so that the objects are in a clump.

I uploaded a working example here:

Here's how with correct syntax:

if System.globalvar('action') == "Build":
   System.SetGlobalVar('menunum') = 2
if System.globalvar('action') == "Gather":
   System.SetGlobalVar('menunum') = 3
if System.globalvar('action') == "House":
   System.Create("Sprite", 0, System.mousex, System.mousey)[/code:1howd1bs]

[quote:1fsu1utj]I'm actually talking about editing the controls in real time. Like a a in-game Control/Key configuration.
Other than using lucid's Costom Controls Plugin here's one way to do it:

Event #16 under Combat\Weapons\Falcon:

+ psidea: Value 'name' Equal to "Falcon"
-> psidea: Set animation to "Falcon"
-> psidea: Set 'recoil' to 4
-> psidea: Set 'reloadtime' to 17
-> psidea: Set 'mmag' to 12
[/code:3jm2zgxo]
The event is always true so the animation is always getting set to "Falcon" overriding any animation changes.  Removing the action "-> psidea: Set animation to "Falcon"" will fix it.

To eliminate the smearing use the "clear terrain" action before you redraw.
