Super cheesy message but I just wanted to say thanks for adding this feature. I got into game dev six months ago through Construct 3 and while I wanted to learn programming to expand my knowledge, I didn't want to abandon this engine because I love the ease of use and insane work ethic of the team behind it. I was in this rock and hard place position of wanting to learn "real" programming, but not wanting to abandon the six months of work I'd put into my game so far. So I found myself not really putting a ton of effort into getting more into programming.

JavaScript in C3 solves everything. Now I can learn scripting in a real programming language, and am motivated to learn cuz I can apply what I learn to the project I'm already working out without having to learn a new engine and start over.

So yeah, thanks for targeting guys specifically like me who started as art people and wanted to cross over to the other side to programming, and building a fantastic bridge to help get us there.

Hard to say just on that description. Have you tried checking the collision shape on the character?

I could try taking a look at the project file

Hard to say without seeing your project. Does each new sprite have something like a Platform or Physics behavior that will let it interact with solids?

The way someone suggested here to me to get around this is to add a Family with everything you want to pause, then set that Family's local time scale to zero on pause.

This way the whole game itself doesn't freeze, so things like input and timers outside the Family can still run and control the conditions of the pause.

Awesome 👍

I've wanted to try and experiment with making my characters long scarf dynamic, so that it flows and follows the player's movement. Conceptually, I was thinking perhaps somehow generating a path as the player moves, then have a sprite or a series of sprites follow that path.

If not, maybe something with physics?

I dunno, I'm not really sure where to begin with something like this, so I haven't actually built anything yet. I'm open to suggestion if anyone has done something like this before or has ideas.

Are you using states? Speaking as someone who started off just dumping all my character controls into a single event sheet, I can tell you from learning the hard way that not segmenting your player controls into states will blow up in your face eventually xD

For the crouching attack itself, I'd suggest using Is key down (down arrow), then as a sub event, on key pressed (whatever the attack button is), trigger the animation.

Without putting crouch controls into it's own state though, you'll have to add a Is key not down (down arrow) condition to your standing attack, otherwise you'll have conflicts.
