Whoops, guess I was out of the loop.

Modularity would be great, though I'd like to see search get an overhaul. Search multiple sheets? Highlight instances? Regex searching? Yes please...

For awhile I wanted one, but I finally realized there weren't any games on it that I was interested in playing. I did love my PSP though...in fact I played it a few days ago (I've got a great music tracker for it called Rhythm).

Guess I missed the news. Enjoy your holidays

I literally had to shelve a game back a few months ago because I was having this same issue, and couldn't find a way around it.

Mind, there are some hacky approaches that kinda/sorta work, but for my game -- a puzzle/shooter -- these approaches simply weren't reliable enough. I posted an example of one in this thread:

Any possibility of this finding it's way onto your Everest-sized todo list.

So...it's been a long time since the last construct update -- almost 4 weeks . In the past, those big delays often preceed some exciting new features.

What do you think is coming up?

alextro:

The object in question (laser beam) as a collision polygon, but the object it is being tested against (a circular shield) doesn't. However, since there is only 1 shield, I could add a polygon. Actually, yours is a pretty good idea. Thanks

newt:

My first thought, but I found that else doesn't work that way: it won't invert a pick list.

Actually, there is a thread around from a couple of years ago where Ashley was discussing whether or not to have else invert SOL's in the context of a pick condition. However, he decided against it.

If objects are slow moving, try moving them less often.

If they are moving faster, try adding motion blur to prevent jerky movement at less than per-tick intervals (for very fast objects, this can even help with every-tick movement quality).

Reducing the number of objects always works; again, if we are talking bullets here, try making clusters of projectiles (say a triangle of 3 bullets) to maintain density while dramatically reducing your object count.

How do I do this? Already thought of running an inverted pick condition, but that approach doubles the overhead. Is there any way to just invert the pick list?

I'd be interested in taking a look at your capx. I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to squeeze extra performance out of construct, as I have a couple back burner projects that are quite intense and busy. The practice might be good.

Jayjay and Colludium's solutions are the best, depending on what you want to accomplish. Still, it's a shame that we can't have an option to right-click and replace a sound...

Thanks for testing it Ashley. I'm using the iGPU (HD4000) that comes with my processor (3570k). This is very common so...yeah, I'm a bit baffled.

Anyway, I've never had trouble with display glitches in-game, so I'll just work around it for now.

Still haven't figured this out. Tried it on an old xp machine and everything seems to work fine. On 7, I've updated my graphics drivers and re-installed c2, but no change.

Could someone on windows 7 test the capx? Wouldn't take but two seconds...I would like to know if this is something on my end or what.
