  • Hi Ashley

    Basically, I've read some posts on the forum claiming that the reduplication wasn't happening when cloning objects. The posts said that you were left with duplicates of the same image. After reading the article, I was a little bit confused whether I was understanding it right.

    After doing the export as newt suggested, I've looked inside the image folder, and it looks like it I understood the article correctly. De-duplication occurs on all sprites, even clones

    Thank you for your help!

  • I found the link detailing this topic, and after reading it again, I still understand it as - 2 different objects using the same images, will be de-duplicated.

    Could anyone please shed some light on this?

    Ashley maybe

    Thank you!

  • Hi newt

    I've tried looking in the C2 manual for deduplication, but found nothing.

    If I understand you correctly, the final export will end up having 10 of the same images, if I choose to clone my object.

    This is a shame, as it's pretty inefficient and in my case I can't really use instance variables.

    Anybody know where I could find a reference/manual link for this topic?

    Thank you in advance!

  • Hi guys

    If create 10 different sprites (not instances), all using the same png image, does the image get used 1x or 10x?

    I'm sure I've read somewhere that construct only uses the image 1x if it finds duplicates.

    If someone could clarify this for me, that would be awesome!

    Thank you in advance!

    Thank you! I got this working using a volume variable.

    On iOS Safari the volume control only works if the music is in the sounds folder.

  • Hi guys

    I was under the impression that if I use a tag "sfx" to tag all my sound fx, muting "sfx" would silence all the effects.

    This doesn't work for me

    If anybody could explain how the tags work, that would be awesome.

    Thank you in advance!

  • Hi guys

    Could somebody please point me to a tutorial or thread on how to make SFX and MUSIC toggle buttons.

    I know how to make a mute sound button, but I want to be able to mute SFX and MUSIC separately.

    I've searched everywhere, as I keep having problems with my implementation.

    If anybody could help, that would be awesome!

    Thank you very much in advance!

  • Hi guys

    I seem to have a strange problem. I've made some mute - music & sfx buttons.

    The buttons work perfectly for music (in the music folder), but they dont work for sound fx inside the sounds folder.

    If I put the SoundFx inside the music folder, the mute buttons work.

    I really need to preload the sounds, so can't keep them inside the music folder.

    If anybody could help, that would be awesome!

    Thank you in advance!
