But the enemy sprite doesn't mirror, it constantly faces the same direction. (To make the sprite mirror on direction change was the reason I wanted to test if the sprite changes direction)

Hi all,

I'd like to know if there is a way I can check if an object with the platformer behavior changes its direction. Note that this object is not controlled by the arrow keys, it's an enemy, so detecting a direction change would not work by checking for arrow key presses.

Thanks.

Alright, sorry about reporting a false bug, and thanks for the help.

So add the loop as a sub event under a trigger? Also the execute JavaScript was just used as a test event that could easily be seen.

Problem Description

Repeat event does not loop the set number of times, it repeats infinitely.

Description of Capx

Repeat event is called to repeat 4 times and alert 'run' each time

Steps to Reproduce Bug

• Click run layout after opening capx

Observed Result

'run' is alerted infinitley.

Expected Result

'run' would alert four times.

Affected Browsers

• Chrome: YES
• FireFox: YES
• Internet Explorer: YES

Operating System and Service Pack

Windows 8.1 (no service pack), also tested on Windows 7, SP1 with same result.

Thank you thegrind, that has fixed my problem.

Problem Description

I cannot set a layer to be invisible using the event under System, 'Set Layer Visible'

Attach a Capx

https://mega.nz/#!KwFCVBbK!eG4-jSqftOCbPPdozpd0Rr9ROkDgI980zSJr1LxJ_d4

Description of Capx

There are two text objects, one per layer. Layer 1 is by default invisible. When the key V is pressed, if layer 1 is visible, it will become invisible, or if layer 1 is invisible, it will become visible.

Steps to Reproduce Bug

• Step 1: Preview Layout
• Step 2: Press V
• Step 3: Press V again

Observed Result

Upon pressing V the first time, Layer 1 becomes visible, as expected. Upon pressing again, nothing happens.

Expected Result

On the second key press of V, I would expect Layer 1 to become invisible.

Affected Browsers

• Chrome: YES
• FireFox: YES
• Internet Explorer: YES

Operating System and Service Pack

Windows 7, Service Pack 1

Construct 2 Version ID

r216 (64-bit)

Note that on debugging this I found that Layer 1's property 'Visible' is set to false, upon pressing V it is set to 1, and after that it does not change.

Thank you and Aphrodite very much! If I post the game, I'll mention you both in the credits =)

I added the code from your capx into my project, but although it worked in your capx it didn't seem to change anything in mine. I have uploaded the capx at dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/132034306/game.capx (Note: I cannot upload it directly, the size (3 MB) exceeds the max size (2 MB)).

I would use the timer behavior I think, to make it trigger a condition after a certain time, to do this.

Thank you, — This brings up two problems though:

1) The timer is exactly the same for every one of my enemy's instances. I want them to each jump at random times.

2) For some reason, my enemy's refuse to jump when I call Simulate platform pressing jump.

Here is my code:
