  • Which versions of NW.js have you tested?

  • I think the source of confusion is events aren't really exactly like IF statements. The event "Sprite X < 500" does not work like "IF Sprite X < 500 THEN run actions", because that only tests a single Sprite instance. Conditions filter down instances. So it's more accurate to describe it as working like "FOR EACH Sprite IF Sprite X < 500 THEN run action (on that sprite)". The "for each" iterative aspect of conditions is essential to the way events work, but means it does not act like a normal single IF statement, so it's not always correct to compare it to that.

    In the example I gave, if you want an action to run on Sprite in that event, then you can only choose a Sprite that did not meet the condition. Therefore it makes it possible to run actions on instances that did *not* meet the conditions. I think this is totally counterintuitive and nonsensical, and although the current system may be sometimes confusing, the alternative is even worse.

  • Does this reproduce on Windows 7 or newer? You gave your OS as Vista, but AFAIK Chromium recently dropped support for XP and Vista.

  • I still don't understand why you would want to do that? The main use case for global layers is to avoid the "copy-paste instances in every layout" problem, what are you trying to do that needs that set of features? Also why can't you just create the global objects on a different layout and then have no instances on your global layer?

  • Construct 2 doesn't do anything special regarding context menus though, AFAIK - it attaches to the same events that Windows fires to all apps.

  • Which version of NW.js are you using?

  • Why would you want to copy the properties but not the instances? It sounds like you either want to make the layer not global, or leave it global and make the objects on it not global.

  • It's not a bug that negative acceleration allows particles to start going in reverse - it was intentional from the start - and someone somewhere probably needs it to do that. So we won't change the existing behavior.

  • Ah, yes, there was another case where changing layouts did not correctly take in to account the new layout size. This should be fixed in the next beta.

  • I can't reproduce any issue with the first .capx. It looks like it always works fine here.

    With the second (Kyatric's) .capx, it's just that mirror is a shortcut for negate width, and the sine behavior remembers the original size to oscillate from, which was a positive width. If you use "update initial state" before activating it, it then oscillates based on the negative width. However since it increases the width starting from a negative size, it ends up making it narrower instead of wider! You probably want to invert the magnitude as well there.

    This is all by design, closing as not a bug.

  • We have an iPad Air 2 running iOS 9.3.2, and I tried your demo in the Safari browser as it's the most convenient way to test. I refreshed 10 times and it worked fine every time. I also tried switching tabs and going to the home screen and returning, it always worked fine.

    What version of iOS is your iPad running? This sounds almost exactly like a past sample-rate/audio distortion bug we had with iOS. The bug was actually in iOS and not C2, so we could not directly fix it, but we found a workaround (which should be in place in r227) and reported the underlying issue to Apple. Apple fixed the underlying issue but I don't know if it's actually made it to the release versions of iOS, or if it has, which version it went in to.

    I'd add it's odd you use "is touching" followed by "trigger once" - that's the same as "on touched", and we have special provisions for the first "on touch" event that do things like unblock audio to work around iOS's restrictions. This is applied regardless of which events you have in C2, but I thought I'd mention it in case it does somehow affect it.

  • Thanks, good catch. Should be fixed in the next build.
