  Just resurrecting this to ask - did this help fix the issue? It's useful to know what kind of errors are caused by buggy drivers, so we can spot similar cases in future and offer the same advice.

  I think this is a limitation in Construct's Python integration. The best thing to do is put a python script as a subevent to the trigger event. Python scripts run where events run, so you can have a kind of script-and-events meld.

  Not many blogs tie up 25% of my CPU, but I guess it grabs attention!

  Yeah, Lucid's link has the right way to do it. You have to hijack the event system to repeat the event actions multiple times - if you don't do that the actions will only ever be run once!

  Hmm, that's not right... my best guess is you need to update your graphics card driver. There's version 191.87 here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/Quadro_win ... _whql.html

  Yours says you're only on 182.67. It might be an issue they fixed.

  MapToLayoutX/Y takes a map co-ordinate (ie. 0 to width/height of the map) and you're passing in MouseX in layout co-ordinates. Try MouseX - Minimap.X or something like that.

  Yeah, check out the "Zoom X/Y" and "Zoom X/Y rate" properties/actions for layers

  So what did you try and what didn't work about it? Try including a bit more information...

  Python's been improved a good deal in the past few builds, I think.

  It's worth noting events are "interpreted", but it's a grey area between interpretation and compilation. Actions, conditions and expressions are run in compiled plugin code, but the overall event sheet is interpreted (ie. choosing when to run which actions, conditions and expressions).

  Since running events happens at the same time as rendering the screen, though, I doubt many games are limited in speed by events. Rendering usually takes longer, which means you get your events processed "for free".

  OK, that should do the trick...
