Can't really do that in the editor...as long as you are dealing with the same object, you can do this during runtime by fetching the properties of an object with expression Obj.Misc.AsJSON, then loading that data into another instance with the action Obj.Misc.SetFromJSON.

For even more fun, make your object a container and throw in a dictionary or array...

helena made a good suggestion. Here it is as a capx:

Well, it doesn't look like that functionality is exposed in the Node-Webkit plugin, though it does exist. It could be Ashley choose not to expose it for security reasons (you don't want to make a mistake with that kind of command).

Removing empty directories is straightforward, it calls the following function from node's file system API: fs.rmdir(path, callback)

Removing dirs with files in them requires a couple extra steps.

tl;dr: you would have to modify the node-webkit plugin to accomplish this, or convince Ashley to expose that part of the API.

Well, that's sort of good news (though, it sort of isn't ). I've been wary of third party plugins for that very reason, though some are mighty tempting.

If you figure out what plugin is causing the problem, please let us know...

Well, here's something awesome I came across a couple days ago:

The Thief and the Cobbler is pretty weak on plot, but the animation is mind-boggling considering it was done in the pre-computer era. The best version available is the so-called 'The Recobbled Cut Mark 4', which is probably the most elaborate fan edit ever...though, fair warning, it's legality is dubious. If you do watch it, don't watch on youtube...the quality is horrendous. It's pretty easy to find with a little google-fu. Wikipedia has some info here:

Interesting side note: Many characters in Thief have some shockingly close analogues in 'Aladdin'...so much so that the bastardized versions of Thief released in the early 90's ('Arabian Knight' and 'The Princess and the Cobbler') were widely panned as blatant ripoff's of Disney's genie-powered classic.

Main post updated. If you're already on r190, just download the correct node-webkit files by themselves, rather than re-installing r184 to get them. See main post for full details.

I feel ya I've had the same kind of baffling issues with other programs...it's incredibly frustrating, especially when you hit a brick wall and there's no one else having the same problem. Seems to occur with laptops more than desktops.

OT, do you run an SSD in your laptop? I switched my OS over from HDD about a year ago, the difference was/still is mind-boggling. Back during the HDD days C2 could be mighty slow sometimes...

Strange...my current project is up to ~850 events, but I haven't had any stability issues. In fact, I don't think I can ever remember C2 crashing or hanging on me (unlike CC). Did this just start with r190?

The only difference I can think of is I'm on Win 7. Also, I tend to stop/start a lot, so I'll make a handful of changes, test, save, close the editor, and bring it back up. I don't tend to use 'undo' a lot either, unless I have to.

I don't have steam, so I can't give specific feedback there. It does seem like, out of the few people who've had issues with the C2 editor, many have been using the steam edition. I think some of the blame comes down on steam itself; their services are great, but I've never been fond of their software.

Glad it's working for you. However, it should work after minification. I had an issue with this before, but I thought I'd fixed it.

Here's a slightly more recent version of mouse lock. I've exported w/ minification using this version before, it seems to work.

Sorry, but I cannot reproduce on my end.

What version of C2 are you running? What version of windows? Is this error only on export? Have you tried exporting without minification?

My understanding is running javascript directly is very risky, especially if you are handling any user input. See here:
