Z order problem....?

Hi!

I am using Construct 2 beta release, r120.2 (free version).

I am having trouble with this particular issue in my project. When I click on the instruction button to display the instruction window, other elements appear as well. I have checked the event sheet, and this is not supposed to happen.

I have also checked the Z order to ensure that the instruction window is always at the top of the layer.

I tried making the unneeded elements invisible when I click on the instruction button and display the instruction window, but when I close the instruction window, the animation that was playing seems to be missing an element.

How do I check for any errors or bugs in my project?

Thank you.

Debugging is a skill. Most bugs occur with variables not behaving as you might think they are. The best way to manually debug those is to create a text object called 'Debug' and have it show output for whatever variable you are trying to test or debug for.

As for your specific problem, do you have a capx you can share?

Hi!

I have posted a .capx file at this link. box.com/s/7eo2p59qg2ux3t5fdxud

Thank you for helping :)

Hi!

Can you elaborate on the part where you mentioned, " create a text object called 'Debug' and have it show output for whatever variable you are trying to test or debug for".

Thank you so much :)

Yes, for example, the latest build of my space game can be found here: http://exeneva.com/html5/SpaceGameV2

You'll notice I have updating information, most noticeably the FPS in the upper right hand corner. You can't see it, but I have in invisible text box on the left called Debug. I use this whenever I am testing a variable.

Can you share your file as single .capx instead of a zip?

Hi!

Here is the single .capx file: box.com/s/2m61pa74sr9yy0hd5cl7

Thank you :)

What other elements are appearing for you? I only see the instructions window when I click on it.

Hi!

Which version of Construct 2 are you using?

These are the elements that are appearing and are not supposed to be there when I clicked on the Instructions button.

• SpoonWaterAnimation
• FlourWaterAnimation
• SpoonAlcoholAnimation
• The whole iodine bottle and its layers.

It's not the C2 version. That should have nothing to do with the output.

I'm rendering on Firefox and only seeing the Instruction window when I click the instructions button.

Hi!

I rendered and previewed it on Chrome and IE, and the same problem still persists. Will try install Firefox and check if the same problems appear again.

By any chance, did you try testing it on other browsers?

Thank you.

I only tested it on FF. The problem doesn't seem like it's browser-specific.

Can you post a screenshot of what you're seeing?

Hi!

I tried rendering it on Firefox. The same problem still persists?

Which C2 version are you using? Because I'm using the Construct 2 beta release R120.2 (free version). Not sure if this information helps much.

Hi!

What is FF?

By the way, these are the screenshots at these links:

This is what I see. Looks fine to me.
