I had the same problem a while ago and here you can find the solution, hope this helps.

volkiller730 Thanks, but I know how to do it like that and other ways, but it was much easier when you where able to enable all layer collisions in one single event. Especialy when you are adding more stuff in the game later on as what was planned

Is there a way to disable/enable all collisions for a certain layer that is set invisible/visible?

Saves a lot of work when you have your game and main menu's in the same layout but can't find a way to do it like that and was wondering if it's possible. If not then it should be a nice new future for C2.

Thanks in advance.

Internally, Construct never actually stores an "AngleOfMotion" value. Whenever the behavior or user needs the value, it recomputes the value via the arctangent based on the current vx/vy, these being the horizontal and vertical velocity values. This means that when you set speed to 0, vx and vy also get zeroed out and the angle now returns 0.

If vx and vy were instead inferred from angle and speed (aka: vx = cos(angle) * speed, vy = sin(angle) * speed) then this issue wouldn't occur.

I'd recommend taking a look at using the system time scale (setting it to zero) to create a pause for the game instead of manually managing all the objects.

Thanks for the explanation, its more clear for me now but I can't use the pause with timescale now, I need only a part of the game to set at pause, but I figured it already out with the power of families.

I have the same problem when I was adding pause in the game and in my opinion its a bug because I set the speed at 0 and not the angle of motion.

Disable/enable bullet won't help me in my case so we have to store the angle of motion in a variable for 10.000+ objects

Animation Frame RANDOM BUG in Editor 195

____ A concise description of your problem here ____

Several times a weird bug that there appears duplicate frames in some of the animations just out of nowhere and one time in a other capx it was mirroring 1 out of the 15 frames while it was not flipped by me and every time when I place that tile it was in mirror (with 6 animations the same frame number did it (they where 6 tile sets from my level editor)), I had to delete it and reload the tile set and after that everything went back to normal without doing any other changes in code or whatever.

I had a bug (sometimes frame nr 2 did not got a collision randomly ) in my game and have searching for hours in my code and nothing wrong, so I open the image editor and check the frames and again there are 2 duplicate frames, deleted it and game works fine (the weird thing is that the duplicated frames was a copy of frame 2 and was set at frame nr 7 and have no clue how they came there at all)

Attach a Capx

____ Upload a Capx to this post ____

don't know how to reproduce it and cant send a full game, I try to explain,

Steps to Reproduce Bug

1- import frames from tile strip 2- move frames, delete frames load new frames etc. in a time period of few weeks when game progress 3- everything is fine, write code for several days. 4- get weird bugs 5- check your animation frame sets and when your lucky you see duplicates, when your not lucky its one or more of the frames that can spoil your collisions etc. but they look just as if there is nothing wrong with your animation at all. To solve it, delete all frames from animation to be 100% save or delete just the ones you know its them.

have win7 64 bit, but the 195 release runs very smooth, ie, chrome and node-webkit so I'm very happy.

IE 11 is "jerking/lagging" the same as chrome.

Thanks ramones it works like a charm, you made my day

Why don't you program the level editor to save as an array and when saving just save that array as JSON? Set key to arrayName.AsJSON would do that and guarantee everything is right...

that's what I did but won't work like that.

You can have your level editor export the data in the correct format like this:

[attachment=0:ih73yfp5][/attachment:ih73yfp5]

Still I'd just use project files unless you've tested it and it's noticeably slower.

Thanks I'm going to test it right away

Right, the editor expects you to enter a string so you have to put it in quotation marks and you have to escape any quotation marks inside the json string with double quotation marks.

Eg.

{"c2array":true,"size":[30,8,4],"data":[]}

will work when loaded from a file but if you want to paste into an event you have to change it to:

"{""c2array"":true,""size"":[30,8,4],""data"":[]}"

Thanks again, at least I know now how it all works and hope that it can and going to be changed in a future release.

I want that the level editor save in the right format so I can copy and pasta the txt file direct in the dictionary key without to edit the file because when I get a typo in there its mesh up the whole system.
