I just watched a tutorial on an unrelated subject and he answered my question through his actions.

You duplicate the layout by right clicking on the one you want to copy and then selecting duplicate.

I will be making many levels that all start with the same exact foundation that involves many sprites and layout settings. Is there a way to duplicate a layout page that has everything in place?

I did have Touch already added to the project, but I didn't know where to look.

I finally found it. It seems the only way to access the properties is through the Projects window. This is the trouble I was having, since there are actually no Touch objects in the layout window I couldn't click on anything.

I am trying to access the Touch properties to turn on mouse input, but I cannot find the Touch properties. Can someone please direct me?

Thank you

My soft pulsing glow search was answered in the Questions forum (where I should have posted this in the first place).

It was solved by using the Sine behavior (which is actually categorized as a movement) and changing the "movement" property to "opacity". There is a lot of flexibility too!

The Sine behavior worked perfectly! It gives me a lot more flexibility in control too.

I would have never discovered this on my own. My only criticism would be that it shouldn't be categorized as a movement, but rather under general behaviors. And even then changing the "movement" property label to something more general like "mode"

I am also going to check out LiteTween.

I need a sprite that has a fade behavior to either loop or repeat after a time. I have a duplicate sprite on top of the original. The duplicate is modified to have a glow and saturated colors. I have a fade behavior applied to the topmost sprite that I am causing to fade in and out, but I am only able to do this once. I am trying to get it to repeat so it looks like it's pulsing softly.

I found a particles example on the Construct 2 Start Page that I was able to modify to make look like sparkles.

I'm still trying to figure out a soft pulsing glow.

I am looking for any suggestions for a tutorial on how to make an object gently sparkle using particles. Or even a soft pulsing glow would be nice.

Tutorials? Addons? Methods?

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks

It's my guess that the "go to layer" references a different event sheet, so maybe the "on ended sound1" event is never triggered because it's on the previous event sheet.
