Or maybe I'll try making my own behavior that checks the polygon in sprites..

Do you know where that data is kept?

R0J0hound , ah yea I suppose I could do it that way. I was hoping for something simpler since the objects already have verts to create the shapes. There's no way to access that without editing the plugin or writing my own. I was looking through the runtime and it was a bit confusing, and don't feel like messing with it..

The sprite already has ability to get x,y of the imagepoints, so I could create imagepoints at every corner and cycle through them checking the distances to find the nearest one, but it gets difficult to manage if objects have different numbers of imagepoints and imagepoints that shouldn't be checked- just thought I'd ask in-case there was something I was overlooking.

Maybe I'll look at the runtime again and see if I can make sense of it.

Is there a way to find the nearest corner of an object? I know there is the nearest point on object event, but that can return points that are between corners. I need a way to get the position of nearest corner/vertex.

If I change my windows theme to windows vista basic, then it is visible. When I use windows aero theme, it is invisible. Strange though, since it worked in the past with that theme.

Found a bug (edit: okay nevermind it isn't a bug):

http://www.filedropper.com/hittinglinebug

The sprites falling should all turn green, but only one does (because it overlaps the corner??).

I want to query first hitting line for all the falling objects to know when another object is beneath them. Seems as if this doesn't work as expected.

edit: on further analysis, it appears that it only triggers when the line is entering the object. It doesn't trigger if the line begins within the object.

Is there a way to check if a point resides within an object? , then I could use that along with the line check.

edit2: okay I found a way to solve it. I used two more short lines pointing down at the corners.

this seem to be more of a gfx card issue what graphics card do you have and is it up-to-date with drivers

It was working before. Why would it stop working if it was a graphics card issue?

Did you try 'Prefs/Reset Dialogs'?

yes, I said above that I tried that.

actually, I can interact with it like a family window.. but it is invisible so I can't see what I'm clicking.. I was able to accidentally select and put something into a family and hit okay button..

Seems like it is invisible..!?

How do I make it visible

When I add family, it seems like there is an invisible window in top left of screen, because if I move my mouse around I can see cursor change to resize handles. I'm able to resize the invisible window, but can't interact with it in any other way..

It seems to unfreeze if I hit Esc key.. I tried resetting the dialog/bars and restarted, but it still does the same thing.

I tried reinstalling construct2 and it still doesn't work.

It was working the other day, and I haven't added any plugins or behaviors.. Not sure why it suddenly stopped working.

Problem Description

EDIT: Seems as if the family window is invisible.. see posts below.
