Closing as won't fix: the problem is the "is by wall" check moves the object up (so it doesn't register an overlap with the floor or slope), then across. If when it first moves the object up it finds it's overlapping something, it determines it must be the ceiling, and gives up on detecting a wall and returns false. This means 'Is by wall' doesn't work if the player's head is right by the ceiling. I can't really change this, because if it moves the player only horizontally to test wall collisions, then slopes also trigger 'Is by wall' which is clearly wrong. I'm afraid I think you'll just have to find a way to work around this with detector sprites or 'Overlapping at offset'.

Please only submit bug reports with .capx projects made from scratch demonstrating the issue alone. It's almost impossible to debug larger projects, and it is often just a mistake in the events too.

'Reload from disk' only loads the current object's frames from disk, by design. So if I read the report correctly, the fact other objects are not affected is the intended behavior.

If you want to update many object's textures at once, simply close the project, overwrite the files, then open it again. Construct 2 will then read all the updated files.

I've made a tweak for the next build: now it writes the backup file to temp, then copies the temp file directly to the backup location. Hopefully this will fix it. I suspect previously when it wrote the backup directly to the Dropbox folder, Dropbox tried to start reading the file before C2 had finished writing it, causing a deadlock. Since it copies the file all in one go now it ought to be able to finish copying before Dropbox tries to read the file. Let me know how things go in r125.

Closing as not a bug: you need to make sure collisions are disabled further in advance. If the objects are already touching when you disable collisions, the existing collision is not disabled. (This is how Box2D works; we can't change it.) There seems to only be a few pixels distance between when collisions are disabled and the edge of the red object, so if you move the mouse fast you can make it collide before the collisions are disabled.

Can't reproduce, the drop-down lists never disappear here. I used r124, can you reproduce in that?

You might get some mileage out of using WebSockets, AJAX or the User Media object. But Construct 2 is designed as a game engine, not an application video streaming service.

This is already on the todo list, and has been for a while. Hopefully it'll appear eventually.

C2 does include empty events BTW, because to remove them it would have to prove the condition methods have no side effects, which is difficult. (You can do things like call functions which run actions from the expression of a condition.)
