Lol, I've been using C2/C3 almost every day for several years, never noticed this checkbox :)

Oh, I didn't know they added this option in C3.

Still, it's not possible to show collision polygons in preview or debug mode.

I believe "unixtime" expression is only available in Construct 3.

In C2 you need to use these addons:

All layers and all objects register touch events, regardless of visibility.

You need to add another condition to your touch events checking if the layer is visible. Another common solution is to move touch events into several event groups, which you can activate/deactivate as needed. For example, if you have a menu on a separate layer, when menu is not visible you deactivate "Menu Controls" group and activate "Player Controls". When you need to display the menu, you activate "Menu Controls" and deactivate "Player Controls".

Yeah, it works pretty well with my old Logitech gamepad.

You should use blend modes. Create a Mask sprite - a black circle on a transparent background, you can make it with soft blurred edges if you want. Put the ceiling tilemap and the mask on a separate layer, set Force Own Texture=On on this layer. Set "Destination out" blend mode on the mask sprite. You can pin the mask sprite to your character.

If you select File-New in Construct, there is an example project demonstrating different blend modes.

It's not possible. You can see collision polygons only in the Animations editor.

I don't understand, so you are controlling both the player and the enemy?? Or is this a temporary thing, just for testing?

Try this one:

It's hard to help you without seeing your code or project file. How do you move the enemies? Are they always moving towards the player?

You can do something like this:
Enemies compare X > (Player.X+50) .... Enemies simulate control Left Enemies compare X < (Player.X-50) .... Enemies simulate control Right

This way enemies will stop within 50px from the player.

Is this a platformer game? Using Solid behavior with moving player and enemies is not a good idea. I would probably do this with events instead, using "is overlapping" and "is overlapping at offset" conditions.

You mean like a decreasing timer/energy bar?

Or you draw the line across the bar and cut-off pieces of it?

You need to provide more information.
