  I think you have to download the platform SDK separately for the express editions.

  You could try the Win32 SDK which is also included. I think I need to do a new SDK release soon though, there have been many SDK changes.

  What happens with this kind of bug is something goes wrong in Construct and every time you hit save it's generating a corrupt file. I'll take a look at the caps you sent and see if I can find anything wrong...

  That's not a bug. You need to use the Set Path action before any of the Current Path expressions can return anything. I've closed the bug. Still - can't see any problems with the Path object, anybody else having issues?

  So wait, I thought this message only ever came up when you were opening a .cap file - you already had your .cap open, you weren't doing anything, then that popped up? Were you in the Layout editor?

  Nice, that's a pretty convincing fake bumpmapping effect, well done!

  Construct has no native support for downloading new levels like that, but you can code your own. If you make your own level editor and your game can load levels from files, you can always put your own level files on the internet. But 'Download to file' can be used for absolutely anything. It'll just grab a file off the internet and save it to disk. Up to you what you do with that!

  Insert the File object and use its 'File exists' condition.

  The .cap just got corrupted. I really badly want to fix all these errors, can you remember what you did just before the error appeared? Can you send your .cap to me as well?

  Path seems to be working fine for me, I can obtain any of the system directories just fine. What's not working?

  Here's a really simple one using sin.

  For the record, 'Every' can never trigger more often than once a tick. So Every 10ms can run at most every tick - if not, then less often. If you want to run something every tick, use Always, not a small value with Every.

  It would be nice to have some options that could change the angle of the particles too!

  I don't think DirectX supports changing the angle of particles. To do this, you'd need to create your own particle system using sprites - which would probably be a fair bit slower.
