It's working the same as before with me, and my public folder is still there.

It can be calculated easily with a bit of math if the objects are boxes or circles. Also with a bit of logic you can use collision polygons.

Making it work with rotated objects would complicate things a bit. It's doable but I would opt for objects with no rotation.

Finally it is possible to do a per-pixel check with the canvas plugin but I imagine it would be dog slow.

When you place a tower does it get placed where you clicked or does it drop down to the ground level?

You could use an invisible sprite as a detector. Make it as wide as the tower and use some high number for the height. Then position it to the mouse and check it for overlaps with other towers.

Can you run Construct as an Administrator? I don't have 7 but I know Vista has a right click option for it.

Try going to "Preferences" and pressing the "Reset Dialogs" button.

It crashes here.

I think the issue is you can only create 255 physics objects per frame. So if you want to create more than 255 you need to do it over several frames.

That's correct, my mistake. I really should have tested it before I posted it to avoid stuff like that.

A youtube search has many such tutorials.

I can get it to crash like that if I set them all to the same position. I can get a lot more objects onscreen if they aren't all overlapping. Perhaps it crashes when a physics object is colliding with more than 255 physics objects?

You could use a 1-dimensional array.

Say you want a 4-dimensional array 5x6x3x2:

+ System: Start of layout

-> Array: Set size to 5*6*3*2 x 1 x 1

+ Function: On function "At"

-> Function: Set return value to 0

---+ System: Function.Param(1) is between 0 and 4

---+ System: Function.Param(2) is between 0 and 5

---+ System: Function.Param(3) is between 0 and 2

---+ System: Function.Param(4) is between 0 and 1

----> Function: Set return value to Array(Function.Param(1) + Function.Param(2)*5 + Function.Param(3)*5*6 + Function.Param(4)*5*6*3)

+ Function: On function "Set"

+ System: Function.Param(1) is between 0 and 4

+ System: Function.Param(2) is between 0 and 5

+ System: Function.Param(3) is between 0 and 2

+ System: Function.Param(4) is between 0 and 1

-> Array: Set index (Function.Param(1) + Function.Param(2)*5 + Function.Param(3)*5*6 + Function.Param(4)*5*6*3

, 0, 0) to Function.Param(5)

EDIT:

This is a zero-based array, if you want a 1-based it will require a bit of tweaking.

In the topic Pode says he's using the "Random Array plugin".

Scroll down in the topic to this post for a working example:

http://www.scirra.com/forum/problem-15-game_topic46274_post290016.html#290016

It is for C2 but it is still useful for implementing in CC, because all the features it has are present in CC.

Also there is a layout property "unbounded scrolling" that allows scrolling outside the layout.
