Why can't construct support scheduling events and actions? Example I add a system action "Move to end of scheduling" and the actions proceeding it do not fire until all other events and actions have completed for the current frame.

Look for WINAACENC in task manager and force quit. I just saved my ass two hours worth of work because I forgot to save - and the auto save feature sucks ass.

Well.. I've been working on a weapon "upgrade" system. So I have a ton of variables... Pistol_Capacity, Pistol_Damage, Pistol_Speed, Pistol_RealoadTime... Then I have Shotgun_Capacity, etc... SMG_Capacity, etc, Rifle, Grenade Launcher, blah blah blah. I create an event sheet for upgrading all of the pistol attributes. Six jillion lines of code later Im done. Now I copy it. I have to go through each line - selecting each variable - and scrolling through the hundreds of variables to replace pistol_[...] with shotgun_[...]. Now if I could highlight the events, right click and select something like "replace variable" - Have one input box to select the variables present in the highlighted events - select the one I want to replace (say... pistol_damage) - and a second input box i can put in "shotgun_damage" - and presto. Do it for each variable and BAM saved myself an hour.

It's just like replacing sprite. You make a set of events for "enemy1". You duplicate it, replace enemy1 with enemy2. Change a few things - health, movement, etc. It's a lot quicker then manually replacing each reference to enemy1 through out the events. Same as what I'm getting at with variables. Maybe there is a better method (for me at the moment) - using functions and parameters - and referencing parameters to variables? I don't know. Even then, when a single entity is making use of a bunch of variables (and when those variables are only used by this single entity/sprite) and you duplicate that entity and want it to make use of duplicates of the first entities variables I gotta go through and manually change every single variable for entity 2.

In the event sheet I use replace object quite a lot. I think it would speed up workflow if you could select a group of events and replace all references to a variable to another variable. This would save having to go scrolling through a pull down over and over. I have lots of variables and it's getting pretty brutal.

I switched to cocoon.io and I have the same issue. What if this a problem on googles end? Has anybody ever experienced this problem in general? Submitting a score to google leaderboards and not being able to update it with a higher score.

I managed to implement leader boards and achievements into my game. The achievements are working fine but I've found that the leader board scores are not updating. I reach a higher score then before, but it's only showing my original submission. I tried refreshing the leaderboard manually but it did nothing. I'm not sure what's going on and I was wondering if anybody else has encountered the same problem? Perhaps I am missing a step. At the end of the level, it simply submits a new score, waits a second, then displays the leaderboard. I've checked the leader board ID's and know it's the new score being submitted. But yay... nay.

When I load up my game, all the events and what not in the event sheet are all expanded. Is there a hot key or something to collapse everything instead of scrolling through hundreds upon hundreds of lines?

Are the events in the loop actually cycling or is the engine duplicating the function with each having a progressing loopindex value - running at the same time - making counting cycles with a local variable pointless.

Can any of you see a bust in logic in this? I can't seem to figure out why this wont work...

I can't seem to figure out how to pull a value from an array at a 2D position, like variable = (value x-3/y-5)

hahaha wow I suck

I think I might have the wrong idea of how loops work, as well as local variables. I wish the debug panel could should array values in a grid or something..

Can't be much more specific then the subject line lol. I'm trying to detect 3 or more matching values in an array grid, vertically and horizontally... then flagging the value of the x/y in the grid with -1 or something, so the entity corresponding to that point on the array can destroy itself, add points, and reset the position on the array/grid back to empty. If that makes sense... my brain hurts.
