  • I've removed the reference to 'Is supported' from the tutorial and removed the use of the condition from the example projects for the next release. As noted you never need to check this any more, as in practice it is always supported.

    The pricing model has been discussed to death over the years. This thread has done it again, and we've allowed it to stay open for a month, but I think it's run its course and there is nothing much to be gained by allowing it to continue. Naturally people will always argue that it ought to be cheaper and easier for customers - some people still argued that forcefully with Construct 2. It's also difficult for people to make good suggestions without seeing our internal data, and in many cases people are advocating for solutions that would likely significantly harm the company, or have other sources of backlash, and it's difficult for us to make our case without revealing sensitive internal details. At this time we don't have any plans to make major changes to the pricing model, and I'm afraid the time has come to close this thread.

  • If you want to tell apart mouse and touch input, I'd recommend disabling 'Use mouse input' on the Touch input and making separate sets of events for input. You can do things like call functions to avoid duplicating logic. The 'Use mouse input' setting is intended as a shortcut if you don't need to tell the difference between mouse and touch input, so if you do, it's not really the right setting to use. Any other approach I'd say is pretty much a hack and may well not work reliably, as some devices support both mouse and touch input, so the only way to truly know if an input is a mouse or a touch input is to handle them separately.

  • Construct is browser-based software, but you can install it as an app from some browsers like Chrome and Edge. See this manual entry for more details.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

  • This is a common mistake confusing object types and instances. You usually need a call to getFirstInstance(). See the Learn JavaScript in Construct tutorial series which covers the basics like this.

  • You need to use a script with the purpose set to 'Imports for events' and import anything you want to be able to use in scripts in event sheets, otherwise it will be undefined. The links I provided previously cover this.

  • I would advise taking a look through the Learn JavaScript in Construct tutorial series which covers the basics like this, in particular in part 12 which covers modules and the 'Imports for events' script purpose. It's also covered in the manual entry on Scripts in event sheets.
