Also interested by this and can't find any "set cursor position" action ... Any ideas ?

I think many things have been said about Image Editor, just sharing my feedback about it : many bugs (the only bugs I met in Construct 2)

• when I copy / paste from web / photoshop. Many various glitches appears.
• Reducing big pictures will do a blank fail
• My computer makes a funny noise when Image Editor is open. Only software ever doing that on my strong machine Not a problem though, it may show that Image editor is handling memory in a strange way, I don't know ...
• I think all these littles bugs sometimes combined may cause software to crash. Very rare, but I did lost 1 hour work once or two (did not save often cause my project is big and take time to save). I am now used to use photoshop for the sprites, I don't hope Construct 2 to have such advanced tools, but a crash when resizing something is really problematic, moreover since Construct 2 doesn't save the last "Control+Z" state to recover after a crash. (would be another GREAT feature)

Hi, it's been month and month I'm using Construct and I pretty love it. Web dev by day, artist by night, I pretty enjoy the way ideas are getting in shape SO QUICK with Construct. You can try all this crazy ideas with a few work. And plus it's a reliable tool for big and long term projects. Pretty cool price. Without this little flaws in Image Editor, the software would be beyond perfect to me.

So maybe we should use a posivite global property for persistant objects ? I will try that, thanks

Actually you're right. It doesn't work with persist objects ... That sounds a bit weird that there's absolutely no way to reset such objects.

actually the MIME type was fine.

There was another issue : you have to uncheck "minify script" during export

Solved!

I added the MIME type with an .htaccess

AddType text/xml .scml

AddType text/xml .scon

And tried also to add the MIME type directly in Apache mime.types.

Both are working, because when done, Chrome displays this on top of page :

"This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below."

I think it's fine if the .scml is recognized as a XML file.

However, my spriter animation is still broken (same : invisible sprites, dissassembled parts, no animation) after export on the host (but works fine in Construct 2)

Do you have an idea where it comes from ?

A spriter animations is made of parts, Maybe be your "parts" have a wrong hit box, but I don't think it's a good idea to rely on Spriter animated "parts" hitbox, and I don't you can manage a correct collision system for the player with that many hitboxes moving.

Since the wrapper sprite can't have a hitbox, I immediately prefered to make the whole Spriter animation stick to a single invisible sprite (with function Pin for example) wich is actually the real player controled sprite, then I can define a hitbox like usual. For sure this hitbox won't adapt to each different frame of the Spriter animation, this way you have to keep a "global" hitbox for this character, but is it really a problem ? This way, this is functionning just like usual in Construct 2, Spriter only take care of a visual animation.

Don't you think using the angle property may be more accurate ?

if sprite.angle == 90 then play "walk_right" animation ?

oceldot : yes !

And as shows plikrus picture, it seems that a persist object is a "global" object

Haha, thanks ! Hopefully my last piece of ignorance

Hi guys, just a word to say that I love Construct 2 very much. We are currently working on a big game, using the Spriter plugin to prevent huge sprites to create big loading lag and it's working well.

If I can suggest something, I think the feature I miss the most is a simple replace function for the objects.

It's working very well for variables, and I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be that hard to replace an object by another in all events. I had this problem several times on a 500+ events projet (I suddenly needed a family for the hero sprite, and had to replace all the "hero" object by its family in all events, one by one )

Just my idea

Thanks and keep up the good work

Actually I think you have to use "reset global variables"
