"Picking" in construct is the term used for specifying which objects you are going to apply an action to.

All of them, or specific ones etc.

if you were to say:

On start of layout -> Player destroy

it would destroy all Players in the game

but if you were to say

on start of layout

(sub event)

Pick by evaluate, Player.name = "hero" -> Destory

it would only destory the player who's instance variable "name" is "Hero"

so with your overlapping example.

First you need to determine which objects are overlapping

Player on collision with another object (object 2)

(sub event) pick Top/Bottom -> Actions

Once the two objects overlap -> you use the "pick top/bottom" to pick which object specifically you want to do the actions to. Either the top or bottom object.

On collision with another object is a form of picking a specific object

just like "pick by evaluate", or pick nearest/farthest etc

start a new project....

make a text box object

on start of layout - > set text1.text to "Height:" & ViewportBottom(0) & "Width:" & ViewportRight(0)

they are found in the system section when adding an action.

the (0) in each of them refer's to a specific layer you want lookup

C2 exports a version of your game wrapped in a version of chromium all packaged up in to an exe file for you.

It functions and feels just like a native windows app.

On the main forum page that show's all of the topics for the forum it shows the name/date of the last user to post in the thread, however I've noticed on multiple occasions that its not accurate.

Here's an example.

Thread:

It says the last poster was user Flyovergames Aug 6th

However when you go to the last page of the thread:

it shows User: Bilgekaan posted on Jul 24th

So either Flyovergames didn't actually post and its just showing their name randomly, or its not displaying the last post from that user.

I've seen this issue with multiple threads, including getting email "updates" to a subscribed thread, which when you go to that thread, doesn't exist.

Assuming you are making your game fullscreen, then you can simply lookup the ViewportRight(0) and ViewportBottom(0) to determine the screen resolution. Then you can do some quick math to determine the screen ratio that the player is playing in.

width/height = pixel ratio

for example 1920x1080 = 1.78 = 16:9

Sprite - On collision with another object

(sub event) Sprite Pick top/bottom -> do action

you can find the top/bottom choice in the very lower right of the "add event" window in the Zorder section
