Construct 2 needs nested families to help make larger projects a bit easier to design. For example, I have enemies, but each of a different "class" so to speak. There are attributes common to all enemies, but not not the classes. This goes the same for the weapon types (this is a space game, not an RPG, though the concept would still apply).

This is a nice example of where inheritance is very useful. ;)

I'm sorry, but this seems like a bug to me. Switching *back* to a non-layout tab doesn't disable the button either, and if it's the "last layout selected", well, that would be really confusing. ;)

To add: If I'm on a layout for project 1, and right-click and close project 2, it still goes away, even though I'm on project one's layout! Come on, that has to be a bug now. ;)

No it hasn't. There's no command to replace an instance variable; And besides, that is a right click menu specific to event sheets. I'm taking about a feature added to the variable creation window to relocate a variable.

Also, I couldn't find that tutorial you mentioned.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a sprite.

2. Create a family and put the sprite in it, and add a variable (anything).

3. Create sprite in a Function (Func1).

4. Call a second Function (Func2) from Func1 to set the FAMILY variable. In the second function, use the condition to select by UID.

The steps are contrived to produce the bug. There are obvious work arounds, but functions should make things easier, not harder. Besides the bug, I recommend as a feature request to also allow returning the object that was constructed for the calling actions to use, and passing as a parameter as well if possible. There needs to be a better way of "type casting" objects to family types.

Observed result:

Condition fails

Expected result:

Condition selects the family (type-casting the object created in Func1).

Browsers affected:

Chrome: yes

Firefox: yes

Internet Explorer: yes

Operating system & service pack:

Windows 7 x64 SP1

Please do so with instance variables as well. When a project gets a bit big, it's easy to later realize a variable should have been put in a family, but it's everywhere in the sheets - so annoying. ;)

Yes, of course, a simple manual resize will fix it, but that's just annoying. <img src="smileys/smiley26.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

I have an extended second monitor I'm using, and maximizing the window makes it fly out the side of the window. The monitor is on the right side, and when I drag the window over and attempt to maximize it, the right side goes beyond the right edge. <img src="smileys/smiley19.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Thanks.
