  Steam licenses are independent from the licenses available from Scirra.com. When you purchase on Steam, it is Valve who handle the transaction and authentication, not us. What troubles are you having on Steam specifically? Have you tried the latest beta?

  This is an old thread. It's now supported. Hold shift as you click with the paste crosshair.

  We're working with Ludei on the remaining issues. Most of them are to do with Physics.

  Try also testing for if the key code for shift is currently down.

  There is no problem with that. However the exported c2runtime.js is almost impossible to usefully modify. You'll want to use the Javascript SDK instead to make your own plugin or behavior, which makes it far easier to integrate custom Javascript with the C2 engine.

  Triggers fire outside of the event loop. So when 'On left button clicked' fires, it's not currently running the event sheet - the next tick it will run the event sheet from the top, so the next event that runs after the click event is event 1, not event 7.

  Have you looked at the Space Blaster demo game? It uses invisible objects placed in the layout to spawn enemies. No XML/JSON/Dictionaries used at all.

  I can't reproduce in r143 - it appears to be correct in both Chrome and Firefox. Can you verify it's fixed as well? r143 had a fix to how AdjustHSL handles alpha, so that seems likely to have fixed it (your sample images have lots of alpha).

  Closing: this is in fact by design. Objects are only marked to be destroyed by the 'Destroy' action, and are in fact truly removed only at the end of the next top-level event. This is for two reasons:

  1) it's a useful feature: sequences like "Destroy sprite"; "Create explosion at Sprite.X, Sprite.Y" in fact work when it would not if the sprite was truly destroyed immediately

  2) the architecture of the engine requires that objects are not truly destroyed mid-event, because it may still be picked by conditions in parent events that still reference it.

  Should be fixed in the next build.

  Your bug report does not really contain enough information to warrant investigation. I need to know things like the exact variables in question (did you mean "banlength"? The "banned variable" seems an ambiguous thing to say compared to just saying "banlength"); the specific event that you believe to be working incorrectly; precise steps to reproduce (which buttons to press how many times exactly in which sequence and then the expected event result vs. observed event result/variable values/etc), and so on. A large fraction of bug reports are simply mistakes in events, or users misunderstanding how the execution flow works when it is working correctly. The event engine is pretty mature and well tested at this point, so it would also surprise me if a simple tree of events like this did not work properly. So on that basis the report was closed as not sufficient evidence to prove there is a Construct 2 bug. Please feel free to repost with significantly more information if you think there really is a bug.
