  Setting the time scale to 0 will effectively pause a lot of things in a layout, but not everything. In your case, even if the time scale is 0, the "Every Tick" event is still being executed every tick.

  Try putting the events that you want to pause into a group and deactivate that group in the same event you set the time scale to 0. When you set the time scale back to 1 remember to enable the group again.

  That should work.

  Have you tried checking for "greater or equal" instead of just "equal"?

  In your example if the SCORE variable goes over 2, without actually having the value of 2, the condition will never be met.

  I second plinkie's answer.

  You can have all your messages in an array and use the counting variable to retrieve a position in the array.

  Here is an example dropbox.com/s/7vrhnmhcuu1tq9m/example.c3p

  Turns out it was an edge case, that I hadn't even though about. It will be fixed by the next beta.

  This looks like a legit crash.

  Saving the state of timelines is a fairly new feature, was just added in r174.

  There is no built in way to modify layout values with neither tweens nor timelines.

  You'll have to take the longer route for that, a value tween should do the trick for you. Set it up, and as the tween plays, assign it's value to the layout property you are interested in.

  Swampa Studio

  I just fixed this issue. Tried it out with your project and everything seems to be working just fine.

  A patch should be coming out soon for the latest stable release to fix this and a few other issues.

  Thanks for reporting the issue, turns out it was a very old bug I was never able to figure out.

  In the future if you find any more problems please report them in our bug tracker github.com/Scirra/Construct-3-bugs/issues

  It's a little bit more work, but it is more likely we can see it and do something about it. This time it worked fine to post the problem in the forum, but more often than not these forum reports get lost and forgotten.

  Just saw the bug report in the tracker, the bug was already fixed, but the fix hasn't reached a stable version yet. You can try it out in the latest beta version though.

  You can send it to my email, it's diego@scirra.com, I'll take a look at it. From the screen shot you posted it seems like it is a problem with the Tween Behavior.

  Please file a bug report at https://github.com/Scirra/Construct-3-bugs/issues.

  If you can, post the project that causes the error. If you can't post the project itself, a minimal project that reproduces the issue will be of great help to quickly sort the problem out.

  I found what the problem was, some old code that I don't quite remember what it was supposed to do was the culprit. I am sure it was a good idea at the time of writing it :P

  It was affecting the modes of the Animations Editor which don't use the Frames panel, like object types with no animation, individual images in the Files folder and individual tile editing.

  The fix should be out in the next beta release.

  Looking at this now, it looks like it is only happening in the simplified modes of the editor.

  Of the top of my head.

  1) It is developed by a pretty beefy studio, look up YoYo Games.

  2) It's older and was well established before being bought by YoYo Games and even before Construct 2 gain notoriety.

  3) Some very popular games have been made with it.

  and my personal favorite, a perk of being older...

  It has the better name!

  Seriously, if you know nothing about making games and want some sort of piece of software that will help you achieve that goal, what would you search for?... probably some sort of game making program some might even type for game maker straight away. It is the best name.
