  I've sometimes noticed that with normal .wav files too (I don't usually use .ogg), it seems to sometimes randomly play it "muffled" on occasions.

  Did you run the full installer, including the "optional" DirectX updates? (which are badly named because Construct actually requires them)

  I ran the installation, of the things that came with construct - I'll look for those other optinoal DirectX ones though.

  Is it possible to set the Z of the spritefont? It doesn't seem to get the Z from the sprite. Or is this not really possible?

  I can't get construct (or any games) to work on my brother's XP machine, I wonder if it's only because he doesn't have a graphics card.

  you dont have to make awesome graphics for a game to be great. If you can make simple coloured shapes - that would be better than bad graphics. Such as games like Dyson, you don't have to have amazing complicated graphics for it to be good.

  For the 2nd sqaudron it is because your ship's index is too high compared to the image points.

  Say for the ship with an index of 7, your telling it to go to an image point 7 (which doesn't exist) so you just need to go -5 for the greater than 5 index event thing.

  (click for full size)

  or you could go something like

  formation.ImagePointY("pos" & (loopindex-((formation.Value('formationnr')-1)*5)))
  formation.ImagePointX("pos" & (loopindex-((formation.Value('formationnr')-1)*5)))
  [/code:1mtt5ogz]
  
  to save having to do seperate events for each formation.
