  • There's no point doing that, because all those files are downloaded on startup already for the offline cache.

    If this is related to this issue, the problem was the server had disabled caching. So the server was telling the browser to re-download the resource every time it was requested. If the resource is allowed to be cached, it won't be repeatedly requested.

  • getImagePointX/Y already returns a value in layout co-ordinates, so you should not add the object position to it.

  • It should work. It's hard to say more unless you provide more details, like a project file, or a full bug report.

  • "Get by UID" is specially coded for efficiency. It essentially does a single Map lookup, which I think typically works in constant time (O(1)). So it won't slow down even if you have thousands of objects.

  • Again, press F12, are any errors logged in the browser console?

  • Your game will already download everything on the first run to save it for use offline. See offline games in Construct.

  • You're reading the text property off the object type (IObjectClass), rather than an actual instance. Use one of the IObjectClass methods to get an instance, like getFirstInstance(), and read the text property off that.

  • Things you add in the Files folder of the Project Bar are already in your project. See Project Files in the manual.

  • If I have a separate character "holder" (like in this ecample) then I can drag out the whole character fully assembled from the project bar right?

    That's a more meaningful difference, but we could still do that for object types in the Project Bar. I don't think this alone justifies adding a whole new section to the Project Bar.

    We need specifics like this to be able to implement it - vague suggestions along the lines of "this would be a new thing", or just showing a screenshot of some UI, isn't actually useful when it comes to spending months implementing all the actual code for it. The key is: what does it do that's new, different, not covered by existing features, and not suitable for being covered with existing features?
