  • It returns NULL. So obviously you cannot then dereference it.

  • It's identical to moving the object the given number of pixels along the X and Y axes, testing an ordinary overlap, then moving it back again.

  • As I understand it, FRAPS is highly optimised to record video at the highest framerate possible - so if you're working in realtime, it would be a much better idea than taking screencaps every frame (which you can't do via an object in Construct anyway).

  • Try Construct 3

  • Those questions read like a psychological examination dressed up in fancy artwork. That seems very weird, especially in return for prizes.

  • OK, let us know if you get your PSP

    How long do you have to spend earning your 4 points a day? What do you actually do to earn them? Because I can still pay with my time...

  • I'm wondering how a photo of cardboard boxes constitutes proof that they will be sent out to anyone, or that they even contain anything worthwhile, or who these people who have already received things are, and whether or not they are hired to stir up the hype, or why a company feels it necessary to prove their legitimacy by publishing photos of warehouses, or how long they will stay in business...

    Basically, I've seen these types of schemes before and they're never as good as they seem, remember the "free ipod" craze? It's just new ways to make people look at marketing without thinking they're looking at marketing.

    Unless I am over-cynical and everyone's gonna be getting free PSPs for watching YouTube while I sit here and complain

  • You can just use a screen recording app - FRAPS is a good one designed for DirectX applications.

  • Look at the definitions in the header file. It's an __int64, so in theory it can hold two pointers in a 32-bit system, but you really shouldn't do that. Pointers have no meaning whatsoever in events and therefore should not be involved in the event engine at all.

Redeem PTZ at the PTZ Place for incredible prizes, great products and dream experiences ... a Lockerz community of cool, stylish, cutting-edge people who love to buy great brands

    Sounds dubious to me. Sounds like "earn fake money for looking at adverts all day and convincing your friends to do the same". The invented currency is only redeemable with them... so they can give you yet more branding and marketing in return for looking at branding and marketing!

    Clever ploy. I'd stay away personally.

  • Yes, PNG files are saved inside EXE files (and .cap files as well) for all textures. Don't know where they got the TGA idea from!

  • Basically what Davioware said is right - object types are global to the application, so if you have "MySprite" present in 6 layouts, and you change the animations for it in one, it's reflected throughout the application. Anything that can't be set per-instance (like animations, attributes, object name, icon etc) affects all of those objects in all layouts.
