Valid arguments from both sides. I'd really like to see some of Rex's plugins/behaviors become officially adopted, but I know that probably won't happen, and if it does, not anytime soon.

I've already started to remove his plugins from one game I'm working on and replacing with stock event/action coding. Disappointing, because what could be accomplished in one line, requires several. Something like Pin To Image Point should be included in the official Pin behavior.

And yes, I too would love to have Scirra adopt Rex's MoveTo behavior. I've added the idea, please vote for it here: https://construct3.ideas.aha.io/ideas/C3-I-440

3 Points from me To MoveTo <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy"> , it hurts me so much to give 3 Points from our limited Points Basket because for something that it should be included as Default without any botting and those Points it could have gone to something else but hey what can we do I would have given 100 if I could <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy">

The same for MoveTo, That's one of the main things why I like MoveTo has the trigger on hit target where you can build all the Logic from that and organise all the events on a cleaner manner, plus much more useful things

On the side note, I understand the Scirra arguments up to a certain point but we didn't request like you do it right now at a list I didn't, we could have waited longer without any problem, obviously if I have to choose between you work on the new Run Time to make it faster and fix most of the performance issues that we have, I have no doubt I will choose Performance always first anything else can wait, but you see the difference between please wait a bit longer when we will have Time Or >>>"Definitely nooo" there is a big Gap here

Have you tested with anything else than Canvas+? That would tell if it's C2 or Canvas+ issue. Also note that Scirra does not support Cocoon officially so you should check if there's a similar issue with Phonegap.

Hi Toby R Thanks for your suggestions

[quote:169oxpl9]Have you tested with anything else than Canvas+?

The other Platforms is hard to say if yes or not both

PhoneGap = run the Game at high Cpu all the time 90+

Coccon WebView = the same high Cpu all the time 90+

one thing good on those Platforms is that (The Layout by Layout) is working at last but still shouldn't run that capx at 90+% on an Iphone (8 or X) when on Canvas+ Runs just at 6% Max so its very ard to say if are not affected those Platforms swell or at least half affected

Here is the Video Test was done on iPhone 8 Plus

I understand what you are saying but That's the thing is hard to know who is the fault as you can see on the first Videos that Special thing that C2 has about optimization (Layout by Layout) is not happening or is not working at all so who is the fault? shouldn't Layout by Layout work irrelevant off the Platform we choose to export??

I could be wrong though that's why I posted on construct 2 Bugs first, honestly I don't mind who is the fault as long they can find a fix thanks for your suggestions though

Add the same thing as you did with the bullet to set angle but this time for the (ship sprite angle) swell not the bulle angle of motion, on event 8 at the first action and it should work like in the picture

Angle(Planet.x, Planet.y, Ship.x, ship.y)

Update

I just Downgraded C2 to the Version R250 and I did the same test but with the same Results

Update

I thought the Problem will be linked to how many objects are created which I had like 300+ on the capx I posted here, so I had another test without any objects just the Player Moving and a Tiled Background with a Super Tiny 8x8 Sprite to visualize that the Player is Moving and my surprise it does the same thing

At the beginning of the video, you can see that this App it should Run at 3% only I closed the App and reopened and Jumps to 100% staying there I changed to (Layout 2) which is Empty and the 100% wouldn't go back to layout 1 and still the 100% is there, I didn't want to keep longer recording on that 100% Cpu as I'm worried to Fry the Phone but I think you get the point with this short Video

Video Test for iPhone 8 only But all the iPhones are affected

Caxp: Exported With Cocoon and used Canvas+

Also I wanna point that I reported High Cpu for no reason on this thread and it took me a very long time to put the videos together and uploading them which you haven't even looked at them wich it may be related to this case and not related to any (containers or Families) as I reported there on that thread if you where to take seriously the reports it may these things would have been avoided really quick, because it looks like you makes look like we trying to give negative reviews to C2 when is not, we just want to improve c2 to keep using it, if we werent reporting these things it will never be adressed and we are the ones that sufer the consequences as we been ignored

Hi guys.

I'm using 8 direction controls to program movement for AI zombi. The problem is zombie sprite flipps up and then back to normal depending on the player location.

If the player is to the left zombie flips up and if the player is to the right zombie is normal. I tried flipped appearance but its not working.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Green321

Click on the Zombi Sprite and at the Left Properties panel check on 8Direction Properties that you have set the "set Angle" to no by default is at 360

I'm not sure if I understood everything but it sounds something like this maybe?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/fy4q0y30exjhhf5/ReferenceObjects_InFunctions.capx?dl=0

you have Picking and passing through the Parameters (normal & as String)

Using Objects.UID

Hello, I am trying to code something that will, when the player stands on a certain object and press a key (shift for example), it would do something (for example, displaying a text).

I could use "Is overlapping" but since I have multiple objects I wondered if there is a way to make things faster. Thank you in advance for your answers

You mean is gonna overlap multiple instances of the object at the same Time?

if not, Player is overlapping object is fine as you gonna use it in a subevent under a trigger

"On Shift Pressed"

Subevent: Player is overlapping object

but an alternative if you don't wanna use overlaps you can use "Pick the Nearest"

On Shift Pressed

subevent >>object "Pick the Nearest" to the (Player.X, Player.Y)

>>Distance is Less than (your Value) >>>do your Actions

An alternative

On Shift Pressed

subevent >>you can use "Line Of Sight" to the object

JMTook

You can try something like this too

I'm not sure if this is related and is not to blame C2 but the iPhone 8 is only one month old has been replaced for a brand new phone because the previous one went completely dead after 3 Month of use ,these phones are only been using for testing the games made in Construct, not for personal use so barely they get used unless if is for testing, I know this thing can happen with any phone even if it was a 1 day old can be faulty from manufactury fault and not specifivally c2 faults but can it be this related to this bug??

as sometimes the Cpu I saw jumping to 120 or 129 % for a very short time but it happens

I appreciate Rex's efforts, the above comment makes me once again question why a lot of these plugins need to be community built and not included inside construct to begin with.

Things like the type effect, moveto etc.

Anyway not looking to hear the excuses from someone at Scirra yet again - I know not all plugins can be included to suit everyone, but there are a few that are really being used a lot. My comment sounds worse than I'm actually meaning it to be, just a "rhetorical questioning" if you will. I guess there are more important things taking up time.

+1

I completely agree they are some of plugins or effects that they don't have to go through the (Vote or Selection) Proces as they are so widely used and are basic staff that C2 should have by default long time ago, why we have to use this useful plugin but with that scared feeling that any time can break and with the possibility that the developer stop gave support to this Plugins.

Will be nice to have someone that works on this plugins but someone that understand the developer's minds as they will create exactly what the developers needs and things that are missing from the official ones and not a generic Plugin
