Yes. Look at the Ghost Shooter code example which does collision detection in scripting.

It sounds like you've mixed up "Preview project" with "Preview layout". The latter previews the layout you're currently looking at.

JavaScript is case sensitive. You must use globalThis, not globalthis.

You can use either "Pick by evaluate" or "Pick by unique ID", it doesn't matter.

FYI "pick by unique ID" should be a lot faster. "Pick by evaluate" checks every single instance; "pick by unique ID" directly picks the right instance.

In general it's best to use the most-specific condition that does what you want, since it may be specialised for the purpose.

Use the 'Set instance' action. See the Timeline instances example.

That still sounds like a bug and I'd still like to fix it if possible.

It's difficult to help from just this information. Maybe you have a broken third-party addon. If you think it's an issue with Construct, please file an issue following all the guidelines - note we need all that information to be able to help.

FYI you can still access workers in the browser console/dev tools.

It's worth adding that Z elevation overrides Z order. If you move something closer to the camera it will appear on top of everything else underneath it, even if you try to change the Z order. In other words the draw order is sorted by Z elevation first, then by Z order.

Oh right, I tried it and it doesn't autocomplete at all, is that what you meant? I've fixed it for the next build so it can autocomplete like any other object property, but like I said, it can't identify a narrower set of options because it doesn't know what 'this' refers to.

This should never happen. Press F12 and see if there are any further error details in the browser console - if you share those it may help identify what's happened.

I've updated the Google Mobile Ads SDK to 7.58.0. The change should be live on the build server now for all versions of Construct, so I think this will resolve the problem already. Hopefully this won't have broken anything...
