  • Easy:

    You create a clone and continue to drag the original sprite.

  • Have you tried adding "Browser log"? it's one of the easiest ways to debug such problems. If you can't resolve it yourself, please post your capx.

  • Add debug output, open browser console in preview (F12) and you'll be able to see what's going on:

    Actually, if F.Param(2) is the X-index in the array, you don't need "For each X", simply set return value to playersDB.At(F.Param(2))

  • Ok, I spent almost the entire day and finally figured out what was causing this stupid bug. I have too many text objects with web font on this layout - over 400. If I don't set the web font for them, Back button works without any delay.

    If anyone knows how to fix it without removing hundreds of text objects, please let me know.

  • I like using Scale Outer mode. See this post:

    Answering your question - you can't create object on another layout. But you can "schedule" it using global variables. So when that another layout starts, check the global variable and create objects if needed.

    For example, in the main menu player chooses game difficulty. If difficulty=Hard, then you want to create some zombies when the level starts. So you can add a global variable ZombiesToCreate=0. When player selected hard difficulty, set ZombiesToCreate=10.

    On start of the Level1 layout do

    Repeat ZombiesToCreate times : System create Zombie...

  • There is a useful new action "Wait for previous action to complete" for asynchronous operations like LocalStorage or AJAX. Change your code like this:

  • I have a weird issue in my game - on one of the layouts, when I press Back button on mobile phone, the "Browser On Mobile Back button pressed" event is triggered after a long delay, between 1-10 seconds.

    This happens only on one specific layout where I display leaderboards. The code is very simple - "On Mobile Back pressed go to MainMenu layout". I put this event at the very top of the event sheet, before any "includes", and there is nothing else in the event sheet that may cause this problem. The layout is otherwise responsive and on-screen Exit button works fine.

    What's the worst part, if I press Back several times on this layout, these presses are saved in some sort of buffer. So when I tap Exit and go to another layout, the buffered Back button events are triggered there!

  • NetOne You are probably previewing the wrong layout :)

    Run "Layout 1"

  • Like AlanR explained, loops in Construct are actually performed in one tick. If there is a Wait inside the loop, it doesn't pause loop execution, it creates a delayed thread. So a loop like this becomes infinite and will freeze the browser: 

    While
stop=0
	Wait 0
	Set stop=1

  • You need "Wait loopindex*0.016" if you want the loop to iterate 1 tick at a time. But this won't work with While loop, you should use Repeat or For: 

    Repeat 100 times
	Wait loopindex*0.016
	ProgressText append text "."
	// do some cpu-intensive stuff here, 1/100 portion of it.
	// For example, if you need to fill a million array records, fill 10000 here
