Woops :P well... if you could show me a .capx of it not working then that would be handy :)

Works fine for me. It's helpful to always post a .capx showing what you're doing. That file I just linked to shows it working just fine so I'd have to see your file to be able to tell what's wrong.

MSPaint has no transparency support, no wonder you're having trouble! I recommend Paint.NET.

Edit: watch out for the scummy 'download now' adverts designed to trick you. Here's a direct download link to help you: Paint.NET 3.5.8

I'm not sure what you mean. The .UID expression returns the UID of the currently picked object. So if you use the .UID expression after a create object action, it returns the UID of the object you just created. Does that do what you want?

You could just give the object a bullet movement and always set its angle to face the mouse.

Is it coding based? If so, it falls in to a totally different market than Construct 2. There are loads of coding libraries out there - you still have to code, though.

Maybe I could add an option to switch off hotspot rounding?

Ah, I see. Yeah, this seems to be something I hadn't realised about rounding the hotspot. I guess there needs to be a special override for assigning to the middle... but then that might cause the above floating point issues. Hmmmm! I'll have a think... any ideas yourself about how this should be handled?

I've always avoided having a smartphone! I'm online so much already, I don't think the internet is ready for me to be on it any more :)

Browsers have pretty bad audio support at the moment - it's probably that. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next few releases. You could also try using the 'preload' action of the audio object to start loading some sounds in the menu - it should reduce the delay.

I just had a quick go and the 8 direction doesn't stick to walls here.

Can you post a .capx showing what you mean?
