    In layout editor right-click an object and select "Z Order".

    In events you can use actions like "Move to top/bottom", "Move to object". Or System action "Sort z order".

  • Thanks for the replies! I just realized that Touch plugin with "Use mouse input" enabled treats all clicks as touches, not just left clicks. So simply replacing mouse events with similar touch events won't be possible. I'll have to duplicate some events, create OR-blocks with triggers, perhaps add a bunch of helper functions like "IsTouchOrMouseLeftClick". Oh, well..

  • I have a dictionary with two instance variables: Excellent and Awful.

    Do you mean with two keys?

    You can use "System is between values" condition: 

    set r to int(random(101)) <- notice it's 101, not 100

Is r between 50 and 79 : Set text to dictionary.get("Awful")
Is r between 80 and 100 : Set text to dictionary.get("Excellent")

  • Press F12, open browser console and you'll see the error message. If it's related to CORS, search the forum, there are lots of topics about it.

  • For some unknown reason Construct doesn't have any expressions which return boolean value, or at least 0/1. You are forced to use events...

  • If you know the dummy was overlapping you know it was mouse.

    What if it's a touch and the mouse cursor just happened to be in the same spot?

  • PlatformInfo isn't really a solution. I don't need to detect the platform. I need to know when "On Touch" is triggered - whether it was really a touch event or a mouse click.

    That official example is using Touch with mouse input disabled.

    Just use is overlapping with a dummy object.

    Not sure I understand how it would help. Say, when playing on Steam Deck, you can use the touchpad (mouse) or touch the screen. Or even connect an external mouse.

  • I'm trying to make a game that would work on PC with mouse and on mobile with touch, so I'm using both plugins. Touch plugin has "Use mouse input=YES", because I want it to handle most touch and left click events in the project.

    But I still need to be able to distinguish between left mouse click and touch - to update the UI, hints etc. What's the best way to do it?

    At the moment I have this:

    But I'm worried it may not work on some devices.

  • I think citron2010 meant to ask if you are making a game or just an image? An image would be easier to create in any graphic editor.

    In Construct you can do this, if you need a clock with 60 segments: 

    Repeat 60 times:
 Create Sprite
 Rotate Sprite (loopindex*6) degrees

  • That may be a coordinate from a different layer. Try using Touch.X(layer) expression.

  • random(100) returns a random number from 0 to 100.

    random(100)<50 condition would mean 50% chance.

    random(100)<20 condition is 20% chance.

    random(100)<1 condition is 1% chance.

    By changing the number you can change the odds.

  • When using "While" loops I always add this condition to prevent infinite loops:

    loopindex<100000

    So even if you create an infinite loop by accident, at least it won't freeze.

  • If the task is not to spawn too close to the player, you can in first condition filter all spawn points by distance, then pick a random one among them:

    System pick Spawn by evaluate distance(Spawn.x, Spawn.y, player.x, player.y)>200

    System pick random Spawn

  • Everything is possible of course. You can pick all objects in the inventory, loop through inventory slots moving each object to a new slot.
