  • When working with layouts, you can try including a global event sheet on every layout that sets common parameters On Start of Layout for situations like this.

  • Also you can go to file - preferences, at the bottom of the general tab there is a button to reset all dialogs and bars to default.

  • In your screencap it looks like they are both subevents for something else, did you split the host and peer groups? The message received event needs to be in a peer group,and the host will also need its own action to go to the new layout.

    Here is an example. Tested by previewing and duplicating a couple tabs/windows.

  • Actually sorry that was bad advice. In this case, where you are destroying overlapping objects of the same sprite, UID might not work as well. You want to use Pick Nth instance instead:

    [quote:23lxchy3]Pick Nth instance

    Pick the instance at a given place in the internal list of picked objects. This is most useful used in sub-events to act on separate instances. For example, in a "Sprite collided with Sprite" event, Pick 0th instance and Pick 1st instance can be used to act on each instance involved in the collision separately.

    If all objects are currently picked, this condition can also be used to pick an object by its index ID (IID). For more information, see common features.

    You can pick Nth instance and destroy that instance in a loop until the Sprite collided/overlap with Sprite is no longer true (there is only one instance left).

  • (angle(x1,y1,x2,y2)+360)%360

    I forgot modulo! That is a much more elegant solution.

  • Another issue I had a lot of trouble with in the past.

    Method 1 - use families. Have your object in a family, then for each A, if overlapping with family containing object A, destry A.

    If you are using trial version of C2, you don't have access to families. In that case:

    Method 2 - use UIDs to identify/pick an "active" instance, then pick all and compare if overlapping against that specific instance. You'll also need to use for each in this case, so not all A objects are destroyed at the same time.

  • System compare two values. You might not even need that, if you use a message tag that is unique.

  • I've run into this issue before. I ended up using an intermediate function:

    On angle360(x1,y1,x2,y2)

    If angle(params) < 0 | return 360+angle(params)

    Else | return angle(params)

    This will give you the standard 360 degree angles starting from 0 at 3oclock going counter clockwise.

  • I'm pretty sure loops run in their entirety, in order, within the tick it is called before the next frame is drawn... unless specifically broken up to run across multiple frames....

  • For example, if you added another On start of layout event at the top level, it would work. Like so:

    Very common gotcha, not documented in the manual at all, but a pretty well known issue. I wish they would add an explanation somewhere in the manual, maybe in the how events works section.

  • You are using letterbox scale. You'll need to use Scale Inner or Scale Outer and design your views accordingly, as described in the tutorial.

    Also I accidentally posted the second page of the tutorial. Here is the first page, in case you didn't notice it had a first page - https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/73/sup ... zes/page-1

  • Click and drag the tab works for me?

  • I recommend you just roll up your sleeves and do the work of remaking the behaviors you need as events, with the every x seconds condition.

    That said, a workaround is to use an invisible placeholder sprite (seems to apply to a lot of problems). Have this invisible sprite run behaviors as normal, smoothly. Set your visible sprite to the placeholders sprite's position every 0.25 seconds.

  • Try the custom movement behavior - there is a "push out solids" action you can use. You can use this in addition to your physics or 8 direction behaviors, along with the solids behavior.
