That is really bad solution for several reasons. Do look into lerp (just check the space shooter example project).

brunopalermo - very elegant way of doing a size check with the modulus, I like it. Gotta write it down to remember.

Glad to bring some color into your world

I meant styles - I never use them so don't pay attention to what they are called:

[attachment=0:4h925mrv][/attachment:4h925mrv]

You could try changing these around and see if you get the nice tabs back (the choice shown sure has them).

If you have only two choices then having two variables isn't necessary - just have a Weapon = 1 and do something like Weapon = abs(Weapon -1) on switch. This produces 0 1 0 1 0 1, etc on every activation. Or, simpler in a way - Have it as 1 and do Weapon * -1 on switch. Then compare <0 - one weapon >0 another weapon.

If I'm not mistaken these are the tabs that come with the visual style you have chosen - previously they were always the base one, ignoring the style or something like that, so that was considered a bug and fixed in r193: "Editor should be better at remembering the selected theme's tab style after restarting"

Or perhaps this is a side effect of that fix.

I have had this with Dropbox as well. It's stable on Windows 7, but on windows 8.1 it fairly regularly just hangs when an autosave should happen.

Edit: And, should the sync cycles match up I have gotten tiny unusable files (like 22K instead of 1.9Mb), etc. Thankfully there's lots of backups or I'd be strangling the computer (as a poor stand-in for whatever is causing this). Let me attach one of these beasts, which actually makes C2 crash as well.

Problem Description

I have a clean, artifact-less sprite with a pure red color. Shifting hue with the HLS shader shows a clean, usable result in the editor:

[attachment=1:1zf42kax][/attachment:1zf42kax]

But terrible artifacts at runtime:

[attachment=0:1zf42kax][/attachment:1zf42kax]

Attach a Capx

[attachment=2:1zf42kax][/attachment:1zf42kax]

Description of Capx

Uses the HLS shader to shift HUE of a red sprite by 75% or more.

Steps to Reproduce Bug

Just run the capx. From what I hear other users get that as well.

Observed Result

At runtime terrible artifacts appear.

Expected Result

Clean, usable result, just like the editor.

In general I suspect when an idea goes "Like... ...but annoying" quite few people would enjoy it.

Depends very much on what you are aiming for - if you want 3D, for example, you go for Unity or Unreal or make your own. If you want to make a proper app you code from scratch. If it's 2D games - C2 is a good choice.

Yeah, the group approach is also good because it teaches you good form according to the Manual - you can disable entire sections of the game if they aren't used thus improving performance.

It's not a problem per se - he's just using a newer (beta) version. You can grab the latest here: https://www.scirra.com/construct2/releases
