    I think highlighting should be optional when the instanced object is selected. Allows only borders to be displayed, no fill color. Because it overwrites some of the colors, I have to stop and deselect when I'm doing something.

    When I click to 'Set keyframe(s)' button, but not at the 'Editing mode', automatically enter the editing mode and set keyframe

  • > -Typewriter effect with word wrapping (that does not move to the next line mid-word)

    FYI This is now built in to both the Text and SpriteFont objects in C3.

    When I was use C3 typewriter, it was too simple to meet my needs. If you can add some functions to him, it will make it more useful.

    Someone posted a suggestion:

    construct3-21h2.ideas.aha.io/ideas/C321H2-I-326

    ---

    - Action. [Pause/resume]

    I want to pause Typewriter when I typing a specific symbol (like .,?!;), wait a few time and resume. But it is currently impossible.

    - Action. [Set playback rate]

    When Typewriter is runing, I can press a key to speed up the typing. instead of directly finishing Typewriter.

    - Condition. [On Typed]

    I can play a sound when typing.

    - Expression. [LastTypewriterChar]

    I can know the last typed character or index.

    Since English is not my native language, there is no way for me to provide too many comments. If any brother can make a more beautiful case, it would be greatly appreciated.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • should be allow to scaled from objects borders, as Photoshop, instead of 8 endpoints, which works great on some large objects. such as backgrounds, sky, textures.

    Because when you have a large object and then zoom the editor view big, you have a hard time finding the endpoints.

  • You can use 'Stylus' Chrome extension chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stylus/clngdbkpkpeebahjckkjfobafhncgmne

    and create this style: 

    .eventSheetView {
 font-family: "Cascadia Mono"
}

    If you want to know more, you can refer to theme.css of c3-theme-sdk: 

    /*
	Note that when specifying colors in CSS variables, the color MUST be specified
	in six-digit hex format (e.g. #FF0000). For any other CSS properties any kind of
	syntax may be used, but CSS variables are read from JavaScript and require a
	specific format to be used. Layout View colors can also use rgba() syntax.
*/

body {
	/* Adjust the window active and inactive caption colors to be green */
	--window-caption-inactive-color: #008000;
	--window-caption-active-color: #00A000;
	
	/* Other CSS variables available:
	
	--window-border-size				Width of resizable window/dialog borders - MUST be in 'px'
	--window-thin-border-size			Width of non-resizable window/dialog borders - MUST be in 'px'
	
	--default-icon-color				Default color of icons in the UI
	--project-item-icon-color			Color of project items, e.g. layout icon, event sheet icon
	--effect-icon-color					Color of the 'fx' icon for effects
	--family-overlay-icon-color			Color of overlay used on family icons
	
	--invert-icon-color					Event sheet invert cross icon color
	
	--default-layer-color				Initial color of a layer
	
	--c3logo-type: light;				Set to 'dark' to enable dark-background Construct 3 logos
	*/
}

.eventSheetView {
	/*
	--event-sheet-background-color		Background color of the event sheet
	*/
}

canvas.layoutView {
	/*
	Note: LayoutView CSS variables can also use rgba() syntax, rather than hex.
	This is important for selection fill colors, which use the alpha component.
	
	--layoutview-border-color			Layout border color
	--layoutview-margin-color			Background color of area outside layout
	--layoutview-margin-edges-color		Color of edge of margin markers

  • In fact, I would call 'Construct Animate' as 'Construct Lite', just like the way Starbucks markets its medium, large and extra-large cups. You know, CA is not aimed at professional game developers, but teachers who only need a small part of C3 for making interactive type videos or applications.Its functions are separated from the C3, but the price is less, and it is more conducive to marketing.That's why CA is not a dedicated plugin, but another product.

    I don't think it distracts from scirra because Construct Animate is mainly being developed by Diego. And Ashley has been focusing on C3 feature. so that he can keep 2 software updates going weekly. For now, updating CA is actually updating C3 Timeline, so it won't have any impact.

  • CA suggestions:

    In the timeline toolbar, displayed current parameter and allowed to edit.

    I don't need to think for a few seconds what the X value is now, where can i edit it ? The eye only needs to focus on 1 place, instead of looking to the left, looking up, and looking at the canvas in the middle. Currently, my eyes have to look at 3 places at the same time.

    Also solved 1 problem, I can edit the value of X just need to check the properties of the timeline. Currently, I have to select the object before I can edit the properties.

    -----

    Off topic, I suddenly thought of a book 'Don't Make Me Think' by Steve Krug. recommended reading. may be helpful for the interactive experience of your design tool
