This is limited by the framerate. It draws every frame so if you move really fast, it will leave gaps since the cursor moved so far within a single frame. You can interpolate the drawing between the old and new positions.

smoothingSteps is how many inbetween steps it will draw between the old and new position. I recommend setting it as low as you possibly can while still getting nice lines.

Absolutely do use the manual. Sometimes certain APIs are not (yet) available, which is a bit of a bummer, and you have to make your own functions for certain things.

let tilemap = runtime.objects.Tilemap.getFirstPickedInstance();
let mouse = runtime.mouse.getMousePosition();

let tile = positionToTile(tilemap, mouse[0], mouse[1]);

tilemap.setTileAt(tile.x, tile.y, 0);

	function positionToTile(tilemap,x,y) {
	let gridX = tilemap.tileWidth;
	let gridY = tilemap.tileHeight;
	
	let resultX = Math.floor((x - tilemap.x)/gridX);
	let resultY = Math.floor((y - tilemap.y)/gridY);
	
	if (resultX < 0 || resultY < 0 || resultX > tilemap.width/gridX || resultY > tilemap.height/gridY) {
		return "outside Tilemap";
	} else {
		return {"x": resultX, "y": resultY};
	}
	
}

I'm pretty sure it simply means that any objects that were picked in the event that called the function, will also be picked in the function, and you don't have to pick them again. As in the two random objects I pick in the event, will be picked inside the function, which was not possible this easy previously. The function is still only called once.

This would have destroyed ALL enemies and set the animation of ALL sprites, but with copy picked it will only do it for the picked instances.

That I cannot reproduce. After switching the worker mode on it works as crisp as it gets with the debugger open, which is in my case 144 fps with no hiccups.

I'll put it in the tracker.

The browser plugin has an "Is online" condition which is probably your best bet. construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/plugin-reference/browser

Rather than saying that the app requires an online connection and refusing access just because you can't load an ad, I recommend using the space otherwise if you can. For example, if you have multiple games on the store and the user has no online connection, put a custom (offline) banner ad there linking to one of your other games. This can also be a fallback if an ad fails to load for any other reason.

Not 100% sure what you are going for but Wordpress has plugins where people can pay for membership access. So you could have it all on one site with a membership area.

There are custom eases and an ease editor. It's not a formula tho, but isn't that still doing what you mean? oosyrag

Heh, yeah that's it. Worker on fixes it. I had worker set to auto and I assume it ended up off because I use a few scripts, but I don't use DOM stuff so I can safely turn it on.

Maybe this helps, here's a performance recording from Chrome. As long as the Debugger is on System there's a "Layout" task that takes very long that basically vanishes when switching to another view.
