I created an example using 2 custom movement behaviors to work consistently with step-checking and only prevents the half-step it triggers on.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73774002/custstep_test.capx

Perhaps the easiest way is to add "Stop Horizontal Step" and "Stop Vertical Step" as actions to stop half of the step while "Stop Step" stops the entire step when it is called.

Only thing I can think of is that he wants the webkit export able to patch the game, but since it's a solid container file there is no way to edit it through the game itself

For example, if someone were to make a largescale game(MMO of some sort) with C2 and wanted to have a native client but also patch and hotfix without redistributing the entire package each time.

It should technically be possible to use the offlinecache technology to have it check for a new version compared to the contained exported version, and then use the node-webkit cache location to store and read the updated files (Storing a log of what files were updated somewhere to read on startup).

Although I don't know if node-webkit has that capability.

Granted as Ashley said, a webpage would be better suited to keeping people up to date.

New bug in R131 from bugfix of scirra.com/forum/topic68112.html

Link to .capx file (required!):

dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73774002/custstep_bug.capx

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start preview, go left, get stuck in wall

2. Go back to editor, change step mode to Horizontal then Vertical

3. Start preview, go left, do not get stuck in wall.

Observed result:

The block steps into the wall and then gets stuck.

This means that it checks for the first axis' step first then the second axis, even if there was no movement in the first axis. This stops movement along the second axis even if there is no on-step trigger for it.

Expected result:

The block steps into the wall and does not get stuck no matter the stepping mode.

Operating system & service pack: Win7 x64

Construct 2 version:r131

Shuriken> On collision with bat

Destroy bat

Destroy Shuriken

Bat > On destroyed

Spawn another object

This way, when the shuriken hits, it destroys both, and then whenever a bat is destroyed it spawns an object.

An increasing variable is the best way to do it.

Make a Global Variable LayoutTime

On start of layout:

Set LayoutTime to 0

Every Tick

Add 1*dt to LayoutTime (It will tick up at a rate of 1 per second)

Link to .capx file (required!):

dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73774002/vertstep_bug.capx

Steps to reproduce:

1. Load CapX, look at code, Preview

-Code says the player should be destroyed upon vertical step if it's overlapping the wall.

2. Move around in preview

-Go over the blue wall

3. Go back into the CapX, change it from Vertical Step to Horizontal Step, preview again.

4. Move around in preview and go over the blue wall.

5. No matter the stepping mode (Vert then Horz // Horz then Vert)

Observed result:

Vertical Stepping trigger doesn't trigger, thus doesn't destroy the greybox.

Horizontal Stepping Trigger triggers both horizontally and when moving purely Vertically.

Expected result:

Greybox triggers Vert Step and is destroyed.

Operating system & service pack: Win 7 x64

Construct 2 version:r130

----

Unsure if it's part of the bug, but I've noticed that when trying to move along walls (when it blocks on trigger) that depending on the stepping mode the moving box slides on the axis of the first step

On Horz Step trigger (Horz because it's the only one that works)

Overlapping Wall

Stop Stepping(Go Back 1 Step)

If the input has it going both Vert and Horz at the same time, Vert then Horz has it slide up and down vertically along a vertical wall, but along a horizontal wall it catches. The opposite happens with Horz then Vert as it slides along the horizontal wall but catches on the vertical one.

Hopefully once Vert Step trigger works it can make the object slide along the wall both directions at once.

Check if

Right mouse button is down

Cursor is over object BLOCK

Destroy BLOCK

This way, if the right mouse button is down and the mouse is over the object, it destroys/deletes it.

Well the arcade does have an example game section for examples

I'd try to see if you can launch the EXE from the steamapps/common/Construct2 folder. If you can launch that (it'll be in free mode) then it's definitely an issue with Steam initializing something. If it doesn't open, then it's an issue with the download from Steam.

If it's a problem with Steam initializing, uninstall C2 from Steam (all versions), then reinstall Steam. (Easiest thing to do is remove everything but Steam.exe and SteamApps folder. I recommend backing up all those files to a copied folder before doing so *excluding the SteamApps folder as it's all your games*)

If you still have problems after that contact Steam support.

Well I understand that. Hopefully you can get it worked out so it doesn't seem so limiting.

Hopefully you can hear back from those guys soon. If not I suggest screwing around with it some more.

Also wouldn't it be better as a Plugin instead of a behavior? Maybe you could have both, with the Plugin being the backend stuff and the behavior tracking the data of the objects you want the player to manipulate.
