Easy - use "Is overlapping at offset". If player is overlapping the ceiling at offset y=-4 for example, don't allow it to stand up.

That's why I mostly use "On touch start" or "On object touched", controls are much more responsive this way.

I only use "On tap" with important buttons where I need to be sure that user specifically tapped it, and it was not an accidental touch.

cybertron7 Could you elaborate? Text object, or TextInput object? Where was it - on the loader layout or on your first layout?

Well, you are setting plane position to touch position, of course it immediately teleports there. If you want to move it slowly, the easiest option is to use MoveTo behavior. You can configure its speed and acceleration/deceleration.

Also, I don't understand why you are comparing touch speed. It's only useful for swipes.

So all you need is a simple event like this:

Is in touch -> Plane MoveTo Touch.x, Touch.y

If you need to position the camera there, the easiest way to do it is with lerp:

Camera set x to lerp(Obj1.x, Obj2.x, 0.5)

Camera set y to lerp(Obj1.y, Obj2.y, 0.5)

With more than 2 objects it's trickier. You can use the method in this demo, position the camera in the center of green rectangle.

You can use unixtime expression. It's a real-time clock on the device.

When the upgrade button is clicked, save unixtime in local storage.

To check how much time has passed:

int((unixtime-saved_unixtime)/1000)=number of seconds

int((unixtime-saved_unixtime)/60000)=number of minutes

Have you tried Scale Outer mode? See this example:

dropbox.com/s/t26uee766dyqdss/TestLayoutScale.c3p
Or do you need to limit the minimum scale at 100%? I.e. - if the window is bigger than 1024x1024, then the layout is scaled up, but if it's smaller, then the layout is cropped?

Mikal Thanks! There is a "Buy Me A Coffee" button in each demo page. Maybe we should put a bigger banner/button on the homepage.

Oh, it's a part of ProUI, I though it was a different plugin. If this is mainly for UI controls, then I guess my questions are irrelevant.

Over the last month I have posted many of my demos to the forum, but it has become clear that I need a better method of indexing my ever growing list of Construct 2 & 3 examples.

To that end, dazedangels and I created: HowToConstructDemos.com

How To Construct Demos is an index for my current and future Construct 2 & 3 examples, tips&tricks and template games.

You can easily search for examples to help solve a specific problem or scroll through the site for inspiration. All downloads are stored on DropBox and are updated as needed. There is a short preview for each demo.

All the example demos and template games are free to download, but donations are welcome.

Enjoy! :)

You can save a table in Excel in CSV format - it's a plain text file, which is easy to read and parse in Construct. There is an addon for C3, but you can also simply use tokenat() expression to parse it.

Exporting the data from Construct back to Excel is also easy:
