Obvious question: Are those objects not on layer 1? You said you're only rotating layer 1, so if they're on layer 2, they're not going to move.

Oh... we had a discussion about that a while back, and decided not to change it. It'd break so many .caps in annoying ways. I think that one's the exception to the rule

Did you try updating your graphics drivers? That can fix this kind of thing.

Hmm... I don't know. Try running it from the official Microsoft website?

Have you tried this on the latest build, 0.99.42? If it still happens, report it to the tracker again.

Originally it was intended to allow organisations of complex animations, such as:

Stopped

Stopped (with pistol)

Stopped (with machine gun)

Walking

Walking (with pistol)

Walking (with machine gun)

In this case each weapon-state would be a subanimation to Stopped, Walking etc...

I guess it's too complicated/not useful enough though, since nobody seems to use them. I guess we'll remove it in Construct 2.

If the timescale is 0, then timedelta is 0 and it's impossible to retrieve the unscaled timedelta - unless you use my method

Yes, obviously expressions don't compute themselves magically out of thin air with no cost, but I think compared to running conditions the cost is small.

It's perfectly plausible to custom code independent timescales for objects - even jumping - you just have to adjust the gravity accordingly as well. Gravity is a uniform acceleration applied to all objects, and acceleration is dependent on the timescale. If you're read the article on timedelta, you'll know that adjusting a speed by an acceleration involves speed + acceleration * timedelta.

The main reason timescale is global is that it was easy to code Per-object timescales is possible, but would have to wait until Construct 2.

Everything in Construct should be 1-based (loops, lists, arrays etc) except where manually specified (eg. you can still specify a For loop to run from 0 to 9, it's not going to change that). If you find anything operating as 0-based, report it as a bug - obviously we don't want a mixed indexing standard!

Can you explain better for those of us who haven't tried Opera or its notes feature?
