  Just use the 'Object' parameter type. At runtime you're passed the object type for the chosen object.

  It's a known issue that Windows itself (not C2) fails to produce icons if you have over 1000-2000. The Project Bar needs to show an icon for every unique sprite (or other object with an image). I find it hard to understand how you could legitimately need 3000 unique sprites. What exactly are you trying to do and why do you need so many?

  Joannesalfa - I already said, that example doesn't appear to use floating point positioning, scrolling or scaling. You can do the same in Construct 2 with letterbox integer scale, pixel rounding and point sampling. If Phaser used floating point positions/scrolling/scaling, AFAIK it would show seams just the same, because it's more to do with how computer graphics work in general rather than anything specific to Construct 2.

  If you use any images over 2048x2048 (which the image editor should warn you about if you do), it will only display if the hardware supports it. That's only speculation though and it's impossible to say anything more certain unless you share the .capx.

  You could try, if it reproduces in Chrome for you (it does here), but as before your results may vary.

  Closing as not a bug. 'Pick by comparison' will not do what you appear to be assuming it does, because the families have different sets of objects in them, so they do not pair up. It's a strange thing to do to compare UIDs like that anyway, why not just use only one family through the whole event?

  Please be sure to follow the bug report guidelines: your .capx needed only one object and no events, but it was substantially more complicated, which made it take longer to investigate this.

  It looks like a bug in Chrome and Firefox's WebGL implementations (doesn't happen here in IE11, although you said it was affected, and it doesn't happen if you turn off WebGL in project properties). I've implemented a workaround for the next build.

  Geez, Safari is crazy. It works perfectly in Chrome for Android so it looks like an iOS bug. I found a workaround for the next build though, hopefully it will work OK there.

  Thanks, should be fixed in the next build.

  It's actually by design that image point 0 refers to the centre of gravity, not the origin. However there's a workaround: enter -1 for the image point and it uses the origin.

  I don't know what could be done other than impose an arbitrary limit of say 1000 icons, and stop returning icons after that. But then if you have a project with 2000 objects, it just won't show icons for half of them, which isn't great.

  So I've spent a while debugging this and it seems our XML parsing library is determined to remove the space from the file format.

  I don't think I can fix it Hopefully it's easy to work around?
