  Fixed another bug, crash when adding an animation angle. Download again if you've gotten it before this message!

  (Give it 20 mins for mirrors to sync up if I've just posted this)

  Please - keep all bug reports on the tracker! It's uselessy impossible to keep track of scattered bug reports on the forums and we need proper reproduction steps/cap files to efficiently deal with it - skip the forums - go straight to the tracker. Thanks!

  Just uploading a new build which fixes the add new angle crash!

  I just found a bug. You can't get expressions from the platform behavior anymore. Whenever I try this:

  guy[Platform].VectorX

  It claims that the object doesn't have a platform behavior

  Hehe... there's the showstopper I was talking about. Uploaded a fixed version, same link. Give it half an hour or so from this message for it to propagate across the mirrors, then try again. Let me know if you get it working!

  Why does everyone have fancy glowing computers? I don't have a camera, but my setup is pretty, uhh, low tech. I have about half a case with bits of computer parts bolted on to it, and a dual monitor setup - not a fancy one - a chunky old CRT on the left, and a very old LCD on the right with the response time of the united nations (if you drag a window around it blurs everywhere). Pictures if I can find a camera/be bothered.

  Dont run a server on your home PC type thing, your connection will be too slow and you'll have to leave your PC on 24/7. Check out your ISP. Last I checked, most of them give you free webspace - you could easily host a static HTML/images type site on that, and usually its unlimited bandwidth. Some even can run php/asp or provide forum packages etc.

  I agree; all properties should be modifiable at runtime if possible. I'll see if we can do this quickly for the next build, otherwise hopefully the one after that.

  Ah, I just tried it and you can't run a fade again once the fade finishes. That's fixed in the next build - use the 'Start' action in the Fade behavior to run the fade again. Also, make sure 'Destroy afterwards' is unticked in Fade properties! For now, you could do as midnight suggests and create separate objects.

  Make an 'On shoot' event (it's a trigger in the Turret behavior), and in this event, spawn a bullet.

  No, the built in behaviors do not work with Physics, sorry. You'll have to make your own car movement by applying forces to the physics object.

  Try the Ghost Shooter tutorial (the download version) instead. It covers hot spots, which will fix your bug.

  Well, Kaelis, maybe Construct just isn't for you. Maybe one day in future there'll be a full scripting engine, but I don't think it's going to go much further than an extension to the event sheet editor for some time. I don't really want to spend time making a scripting tool, as I've said before - it's been done to death and I think if you want to program a game, you'll get a lot more out of something like C++ with a good game library anyway.

  Thanks for the feedback, but I think we're looking for different things here

  You can, click the + icon on the toolbar when the image point tool is selected. Use the combo to switch between image points.
