  • Hey again, another small suggestion - wouldn't it be nice if under "Size & Position" we could resize objects using percentage relative to its original size?

    Making objects gradually grow/shrink is a bit of a pain with "set width/height" if the object is asymmetrical.

    I'm sure some people here can relate

  • You can basically already do that. For example, to set something to 50 percent of it's orginal size:

    Start of layout - Object: Set 'originalwidth' to Object.Width
                  Object: Set 'originalheight' to Object.Height

(Your Event) - Object: Set Width to Object.Value('originalwidth') * 0.50
               Object: Set Height to Object.Value('originalheight') * 0.50[/code:1une38wh]

It may take a bit more effort, but it should work.  Hope that helps. 

EDIT: Okay, so upon testing this myself, it appears there's a bug in Construct that makes the sprite dissapear when setting the height and width from variables.

  • Just so you know, OriginalWidth and OriginalHeight are already available. For example, if you want to scale to 50%, you can simply do the following:

    (Your Event) - Object: Set Width to Object.OriginalWidth * 0.50
               Object: Set Height to Object.OriginalHeight * 0.50[/code:1xuyzra0]

If you want to scale dynamically, you just change the '0.50' in the code to a variable.
