  • Thank you very much LittleStain

    I'll be using pick top/bottom

  • Greetings

    I have 2 overlapping square sprites. They overlap only in a corner.

    I also got an click or on touched object event. This event fires for both of the sprites if I click in the corner even though, in my opinion it should fire for the sprite on top.

    Thanks anticipated.

  • I figured out a quite complex solution if anyone has this same problem again.

    You make a family with all the overlapping items and you assign it an instance variable say OverlappingNumber.

    Every 0.1 seconds (less or more, you decide based on the resources available) you set the whole family's OverlappingNumber = 0

    Then under Every 0.1 seconds you add this event: for each family member you check if the family is overlapping with Sprite1, then in another event, Sprite2, and so on you write a huge bloody list for every sprite that you want this specific overlapping fix to add to. If it is overlapping you do Sprite1.OverlappingNumber + 1.

    After that it's just a matter of testing if the overlapping number is less or equal than 1 when things overlap.

    I have run into the following problem:

    I have 3 sprites: 0006 (pink), 0007 (pink), 0001 (green). I want to make something happen when 0007 overlaps 0006 with nothing in between.

    This does not work. Apparently the overlapping triggers even if there is something in between the objects. If I stack all of them together

    0007

    0001

    0006

    like so, the overlap event will trigger; and I wish that to not happen since it's wrong. (bug??)

    I tried different things but none had any results. I have attached an image where the 2 pink sprites have their opacity decreased because they overlap, but they overlap in theory cause there is actually something in the way blocking the overlapping.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance!

  • Awesome thanks

  • Problem Description

    Selecting objects from the Object window with the keyboard arrows does not select that object in the Properties window. Only clicking on them via the mouse will also select that object to view it's properties.

    Steps to Reproduce Bug

    • start a project
    • add some sprites
    • notice they appear in the Objects window
    • select a sprite with the mouse from the Objects window
    • notice the properties window is modified according to the object selected
    • navigate through the objects in the Objects window using the arrow keys
    • notice the properties window does not change showing the properties of the object selected via mouse click only

    Observed Result

    The Properties window does not select the object navigated to using the keyboard arrows.

    Expected Result

    I expect the Properties window to show properties of the selected object no matter what input method was used to select such an object.

    This bug has been around for quite some time now.

  • Really good ideas here. Thanks for every suggestion!

    Any clues if adding keywords in comments in the index.html would get the search engine to crawl it?

  • Thanks Ashley

    I have used the following resources with no effect for Google Chrome:

    That browser just doesn't give a $#%&

    Regarding the ajax, that sounds like a great idea!

    How about using the built-in "Load image from URL" ?

    Thanks for the tips <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

    glerikud I managed to find a keyword from my test page but it's pathetic. Would meta tags work? Or would engines find stuff if I modify the index.html and add a lot of text in comments? Text that is actually found on the website?

    Beaverlicious I'm using wordpress and i'm tired of it as hell >.>

  • gumshoe2029 How does that work with caching? Is there any?

  • I was thinking about making my website in Construct 2.

    I know there are a few problems with this but I could possibly overlook them to take advantage of the cool stuff that can be done.

    1. search engines won't work well or at all

    2. the website will need a while to load mainly because of all the images (how could I avoid this?)

    3. the website will need to be refreshed manually everytime I post something new - I tried a zillion methods to make the html5 website not cache stuff but it still does, I don't know what to try else

    If I could remove 3. and 2. I might make it decent.

    Any thoughts about this?
