  R0J0hound None of the lossless tools can compress it better than C3. I guess compresspng.com uses a lossy method.

  Still, a lossy compression option would be a nice addition to C3 - for games where the download size matters.

  R0J0hound I tried OptiPNG with an exported image from C3, and even at the highest optimization setting it says "png is already optimized"

  I tried compresspng.com and it makes most PNG files 50-60% smaller, compared to the built-in image compression in C3.

  As an experiment I compressed all images from my game (which was pita to do, because this service allows loading only 20 files at a time):

  • C3 recompress images - 4.8 MB
  • compresspng.com - 2.1 MB

  This is a huge difference, especially for a web or mobile game.

  Can we have this or similar compression method in C3?

  Ashley ?

  You didn't copy everything properly from that demo:

  howtoconstructdemos.com/create-a-realistic-chain-or-rope-with-physics

  Location of imagepoints and actions like "Physics set enabled" are important.

  I don't know, can you share your project file?

  The original demo was made in C2, so it should have no problem running in Construct 2 runtime.

  Check Origin image point position in all frames.

  You can try exporting to Cordova, then unpack and edit two files manually - config.xml and config.json - change sdk version from "22" to "21"

  Then add all files back to zip, load it Export Manager in Construct 3 and build the apk.

  It may not work!

  Not with BBcode, but you can do this with a blend mode or create a spritefont with this gradient.

  I try to add new demos when I have time. Most of the examples are not really tutorials. (and not all are good quality)

  If you have a tutorial, it's probably best to post it here:

  construct.net/en/tutorials

  It should still work with "Create by name". Add a sub-event and use "Pick last created EnemyFamily". Then set Spawner.EnemyUID to EnemyFamily.UID

  Add "Browser Log" actions into each event that you are trying to debug, and you'll see which of them are triggered and when. No one can figure out what's happening in your project but you.

  Are you using Construct 3? You posted in the wrong forum.

  Family is the best option. You can use "System pick last created", but it also works best with a family. Without a family the only way to get UID is to try picking each of the objects one by one..
