  A: Not yet I'm afraid, unless you destroy/recreate the object

  B: Pretty much - it's much better to keep everything to physics forces and impulses, since 'set position', 'set angle' etc. teleport the object in the physics world which can screw things up. One-offs should be OK though.

  C: Have you seen the enable/disable collisions action?

  Pick by UID is O(n). It searches through all instances. However, it can be made O(1) if needs be - but even so it sounds like it should be fine with 10 monsters. Have you profiled using Chrome's dev tools and proven that the bottleneck is the pick by UID condition? It could be something else.

  Melkelo - try checking directly with your graphics card vendor, sometimes Windows Update or other places don't give you the latest.

  Please read how to report bugs then post the issue to the bugs forum complete with .capx, reproduction steps, etc. etc.

  Guif0DA - erm, this is a post from November... it ended up being Ctrl+L and Ctrl+E to prevent it conflicting with other keyboard shortcuts...

  Maybe, because you can make the files smaller as you import them to Construct 2, by choosing a different quality setting in Construct 2's import dialog!

  Sounds like a graphics card driver bug! Please try updating your driver, and if that fixes, direct any of your frustrations towards your graphics card maker! This is a constant problem for us!

  I'm sorry you've had trouble with your project! However, how do you know it's Construct 2 and not your computer hard disk failing? If there is a problem in Construct 2 obviously we urgently want to fix it as quickly as possible, but how do we tell that apart from your computer corrupting the data itself in this case? So far you're the only one to report this "file filled with NULL" case, so I don't know if it's a Construct 2 problem or not...

  I strongly urge you to use Construct 2's built-in backup options. You would have lost at most one day's work if you had a daily backup to your existing Dropbox folder. Even if Construct 2 is absolutely perfect and never fails in any way, your computer's hardware, operating system or other software might, causing a problem with your project. So even if we made Construct 2 invulnerable to any problem at all, it's still highly recommended to set up a solid backup scheme!

  Can you reproduce the problem without any third party plugins? (Example .capx includes "Random Array") - we ask that to ensure it's not a third party plugin causing the problem.

  Please also see how to report bugs. What does "going whacky" mean? Having seen a lot of bug reports I reckon there's an 80% chance I open the project and everything works absolutely fine, which means then I have to ask a lot more questions etc. and it takes a lot longer to sort everything out. If you include proper descriptions, steps to reproduce, any browser errors, etc. that should help us get to the bottom of it as quickly as possible!

  Erm... are you sure? In r86 the code is wrong which breaks audio in PhoneGap. I could reproduce the problem myself and fixed it for r87 and got audio working fine. So it sounds like you've got it exactly backwards somehow!

  Are you including phonegap.js in the upload to PhoneGap Build by any chance? You should no longer do this, since it can cause problems.

  Databases, SQL and PHP are a bit out of the scope of this forum. I'd recommend browsing the web where there are lots of other better sites for help (e.g. StackOverflow), many existing tutorials, etc.

  Cool, was it definitely a "packaged" app? There's never been any maximum size on hosted apps.

  Thanks, but I hope you're aware translation is an unfinished feature!

  Send an email to licensehelpcti@scirra.com and we can set up a pay-the-difference upgrade. Apart from that I'm afraid we don't normally do any other discounts.
