Don't listen to this foolish drivel

It was made to be easy to use, and the lest confusing as possible because this engine is built to be easy to understand for newcomers. Once you have gained more experience with game development and construct and you're familiar with how events work you could make your own lag compensation by storing player variables in an array and flush old entries when you add new one with push and pop, it's not up to scirra to add every single possible option when you can build your own with their event system.

Also photon doesn't support this whatsoever.

thanks- I hadn't considered storing that stuff manually, but I suppose that would work. I haven't created a multiplayer game before, and the multiplayer plugin seems pretty simple which is why I'm still going to use it.

too much whitespace..

too much scrolling..

everything is too big..

too spread out..

no.. construct can't do that.

but you could put your objects into a family, and then create the object, then pick the family by uid of the object created, and then perform the general actions on the picked family object. By putting them all in a family, you'll be able to set actions for one without having to create a bunch of duplicate actions.

If there's interest, maybe I could create some tutorials for people who support me on patreon? Like $1 per month for the tutorials, and $5 for the capx files.

That way I'd have more incentive and knowing that my efforts aren't going to waste.. Anyways- I'll mull it over for now.

This sort of stuff takes a significant amount of thought and dedication, which takes away time from me doing stuff that pays and lets me live and there isn't any indication that there are enough people that would backup my efforts and make it worth pursuing.

I suppose I'd have to make an example first to get people interested..

What about creating a plug-in for that.. Would be useful and you could see it on scirra store.

Don't let it die.

I've thought about making a menu/dialog plugin in the past, but I'm not sure how user-friendly it would be considering a menu incorporates various different object types, like fonts and 9patches, which can have properties set a variety of different ways.

It might be better to just create a general tutorial for making a dialog/menu system- that way people can tailor it to their needs.

I'll just leave it here. As an idea

woah! nice!

Hi, hows the progress of your dialog system?

I can't remember- it's been a while since I worked on it!.. So it is probably dead- no one really seemed interested anyways.

I could probably make a better one now, if I felt like it.

When I check the collision layer expression, it gives an odd number.. how do I translate it to the 00000000 format?

for example I get 268435456 but I need it to read 10000000 (the layer it is set at)

nvmind.. I'm implementing an expression into my own plugin that will do this.. i found way to convert using javascript

You could maybe browse through the closed bugs forum section for things.. Often people post bugs about things they don't understand.. such as this thread where r0j0hound explains some important quirks:
