So you want to cut out a part of the sprite? Try blend modes. Click File-New in Construct editor and select "Example: Blend Modes"

Don't try to preview it in Dropbox! Simply download the file (to your hard drive, not to your dropbox) and then open it in Construct 3 editor.

What do you mean - you can't download it, or you can't open the file in Construct 3? What is the error message?

Check out this demo I made, it allows to aim with mouse or gamepad:

No, the order of actions is wrong. First, set to player position, then move at angle.

Every time I launch the C3 editor (desktop build) it asks me if I want to update from r130 to r131. Every time I press Yes and it updates to r131. But when I close the editor and open it again, it reverts back to r130.

Is there an easy way to fix it? I don't want to manually re-install C3 every time a new version comes out.

I think your tilemap is on a locked layer. Simply remove the lock from the layer.

I'm guessing the problem is with setting Reticle to mouse position on every tick. You should do it only when mouse is moving.

Also, "reticle" is the aim/target mark, right? Why are you moving it with bullet behavior? Try "Move at angle" action instead:

Reticle position to (player.x, player.y)

Reticle move distance(0,0,Gamepad.Axis(0,2),Gamepad.Axis(0,3))*10 pixels at angle(0,0,Gamepad.Axis(0,2),Gamepad.Axis(0,3))

You don't need to detect when the app is closed. Simply save the time to local storage every minute, or even every 10 seconds if you want more precision. Writing to local storage is fast, just make sure you are not writing and reading from local storage at the same time.

Here is a tutorial:

You can probably do this with CSS:

scirra.com/tutorials/1073/how-to-css-style-buttons-sliderbar-etc
Or make your own text box with text or spritefont object and a sprite:
