  • It shouldn't matter, because if your math is correct, angles like 0 and 360, or -180 and 180, are equivalent. Normally people run in to problems because their math is actually wrong and it depends on treating angles as linear values, but they're cyclical.

  • It's not a bug. Most browsers only allow audio playback after the user has interacted with the page, e.g. a touch or click.

  • Multiplication has higher precedence than subtraction, so the two equations newt posted are in fact identical.

    If you use a formula like that though the offset eventually becomes a huge negative number, like -10000. That could cause precision issues on the GPU. The best way is to add wrapping with the % operator so the number always stays within a reasonable range.

  • Your text objects are too small to display the full value, that's all. Resize them bigger.

  • Using HTML5 exports on mobile is not supported. You must use the Android or iOS export options.

    It's not feasible to investigate reports that say "it crashes randomly". We need step-by-step instructions that always reproduce the crash. We might need to follow these 10-20 times before resolving the issue, and this becomes impossible if we don't have a way to reliably observe it. The only other option is to rely on guesswork or looking for other factors that might affect whether or not it crashes, but that approach could easily take months longer.

    We've been releasing some updates recently in an attempt to address this, but unfortunately without reliable steps to reproduce the problem, or at least some indication of what might cause the problem (e.g. settings that make the problem go away or otherwise fix it), there is virtually nothing we can do. I still have absolutely nothing to go on right now.

  • Please do file a bug - anything that breaks previously working projects is something we definitely want to fix.

  • I have deleted several posts from this thread.

    As far as I can tell, Emac asked a question that was actually unrelated to the plugins/items sold by —, therefore they had no obligation to support you with that. They attempted to offer some help anyway, but then it appears the goalposts shifted to whether or not an email (about the unrelated problem) arrived. Considering there was no obligation for — to help in the first place this seems like unnecessarily hostile activity on the forum from Emac - consider this a warning.

    I'd remind all forum users to review the Forum & Community guidelines and do your best to abide by them at all times.

  • Tagging DiegoM so he sees this, but I'd encourage you to file a bug report if at all possible, since it always helps.

  • rgba does take values in a 0-100 range, where 100 corresponds to 100%. However it is not limited to this range - you can pass 255, but that corresponds to 255% red, as in 2.5x more red than you'd normally get. This may be why you are getting unexpected results when passing 255 to rgba: it works, but not like you are expecting it to.

    If you want to use a 0-255 range, then there is rgba255 and rgbex255, which work identically but take values in a 0-255 range, where 255 corresponds to 100%. Again you can pass higher values like 500, but that corresponds to boosting that channel to higher than 100%.

  • All the crash message indicates is you were using the rectangle select tool. This is why we recommend people file bug reports following all the guidelines wherever possible.

  • Crashes are automatically logged to our server and we periodically review them. It's always helpful to have a full bug report following all the guidelines where possible, since we often can't fix crashes from the message alone. Otherwise you don't need to report it anywhere.

  • Again, the only permissions the Construct engine itself requests are (currently) INTERNET and WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE. Anything else will come from an addon you are using.

    Maybe we need a better way to indicate what will cause extra permissions to be requested.

  • I filed https://github.com/Scirra/Construct-3-bugs/issues/3306 to look in to removing the default permissions.
