R0J0hound Thanks! Do you know the name of that property? (I can modify the plugin to test)
We don't need to support many browsers, just NWJS.

I usually do this is with event groups. Say, I have "Controls Game" group (active) and "Controls Dialog" group (deactivated). When I need to display a dialog, I deactivate "Controls Game" group and activate "Controls Dialog".

There are other methods of course. For example, if you have lots of different controls on different layers, you can add them all into a family AllButtons, and create instance variable FunctionName. When AllButtons is touched, pick the instance which is on the highest visible layer and has the highest z-index. Then call the function from FunctionName variable.

To clarify matriax's question - the problem is that when drawing on Canvas plugin using actions like "Draw circle" or "Draw path", lines always have anti-aliasing.

R0J0hound, do you know if it's possible to disable AA for methods like ctx.stroke() or ctx.fill() ?

Well, a simple test shows that if you leave the seed field empty in plugin properties, it will not be used. (basically no different from the system random)

If you enter seed value, all random functions will use this seed and generate the same numbers every time you run your game.

However, if you need to set the seed to a random value later in the game with events, don't set it to "", set it to some time expression (tickcount for example, or unixtime)

No, you need to use "Set frame" action. Set frame to random(Sprite.AnimationFrameCount)

Also, don't forget to set animation speed to 0 in animation editor.

Construct doesn't zoom out by itself, you programmed it to do it. And for us to be able to help you, you need to post your code here.

One big image should not be a problem, but I suggest you read this article by Ashley:

Both players can see the same layout, and you can make the layout as big as you want. Layout size doesn't matter for performance. You can scroll to different areas on the layout for different players.

It would be much easier to help you if you posted a screenshot of events (instead of text, which is very difficult to read).
