If the Stopped animation is the only animation, it may not trigger the event.
If this only have a single animation and you destroy it after, try moving this animation from Stopped to Disappearing and it will automatically destroy itself once it finishes playing, no event required.

Cool, Naitor. That actually worked! First time i've encountered this problem since i've always used stopped-animations before and destroying the object has always worked. Must be something new in an update i guess. Thx for the help.

The object that doesn't destroy wouldn't happen to have a looping animation would it?

Nope, it doesn't.

Ok, so I have a really wierd issue that haven't been an issue before in previous projects a while back.
I recently started a new project and simply wanted to destroy the object once it's Stopped animation is over. This simple event has worked without issue before, but now it doesn't for some reason.
The wierd thing is that I tried to import an object from an old project into my new project and THAT object got destroyed no problem with the exact same event, but not the new object I created.

What is going on?

I re-installed my PC and im looking for the install file for the CF2.5 Developer so i can install it again.
I checked the Owner's Lounge forum but i could only find patches there and not the full version.

Holy crap!
Thanks so much for the very thorough explanation, Volnaiskra! I reworked the code and it works as intended now!
The "Health of Enemy.Group >0" -issue, is that just a bug in CF2.5? I've encountered a couple more wierd bugs in the program when using the event editor, but nothing gamebreaking.

Anyways, many thanks again!

I am having issues with making attacks on enemies work properly.
I want the sword attack to only affect the enemy/enemies it hits. Right now it affects every single enemy on screen.
Every enemy has its own HP pool (some enemies have 3hp, others have 2hp). Every sword attack takes away 1hp from the enemy.
Problem right now is that whenever i kill one enemy with the sword, they all die (or just stop moving?).

I have attached the file i would like to get some help with. Please login to see this attachment.

my SDK and JDK are set in different directories and not in the same one as the windows user one.
plus im building the file in another directory but it still has to create some sort of temporary file under the windows user folder.
[MENTION=6268]Fernando[/MENTION], i dunno what you meant by add the flag?

yeah, i read into it. but it's my windows username and it cannot be changed easily. i have to go into regedit and change things around which i really dont wanna do.
isn't there some way of saving it to another place instead of that place ?
it's ridicilous that something so stupid is gonna break it.

I haven't used the Android exporter for CF for a while now and I noticed that CF had an update. I followed the new install instructions found here: Please login to see this link.
but I constantly get an error when trying to build an apk file of my project.

Here's the log file:

I don't get what I did wrong since I followed the instructions precisely.

A couple of years ago i made a simple Please login to see this link. with a resolution of 256x144 (16:9) and back then that aspect ratio was pretty much standard in mobile phones as i can remember.
Today the aspect ratios of different phones are very varied, so im wondering how i can adapt my game to different aspect ratios?

I am currently using a Samsung Galaxy A7 and my old game is now stretched out since my phone has a 18.5:9 aspect ratio. What do i need to do in order to make it work on every type of screen?
Is this hard to solve?

i think i found the issue. it might be because i also had "extended collisions" and "bullet" checked in the movement options.
thanks for the help, marbenx!

fnkycoldmadeanr, it's buggy because if you scroll the screen back and forth while something is using the pinball movement, the object will then kinda "follow" the screen and bounce way too far because of the scrolling.

marbenx, thanks this works better than the current movement i was using. the objects does however sometimes get stuck on walls if they bounce on them. any solution for this?

I want to create something similar to Shovel Knight where when you kill a mob, dig up gems or loot a chest, the items kinda "bounces" up in the air and lands instantly on the ground.

What would be the best way to implement this kind of loot drop?
I tried using the "pinball movement" and a few other ones, but they are pretty buggy. I guess i should avoid Clickteam's built in movements for this kind of stuff?

I would like to implement a fairly simple Quest log system into my game, similair to the one in World of Warcraft where each quest is shown in a list and if you mark one of the quests it shows a text that describes the quest.

Is there some sort of extension that can help with this or what would be the best way to approach this? Any example files out there?
I've been searching through the forums but cannot find anything helpful.

Whenever i use a sub-application in my game the gamepad (using joystick 2 object) stops responding. It works fine in the main game, but as soon as i start the sub-application it doesn't work anymore. Are there any specific settings I need to tweak in order to get it to work inside the sub-app?

I am wondering if it's possible to make the sub-application jump between several different frames without shutting down in-between the jumps?

I am currently using a sub-application as a pause/main-menu in my game when pressing Escape. The sub-application starts up it's own frame where all the menu-stuff are.
In my options menu you are able to go to "Controls" in order to change the controls for your game. This is however stored in another frame than the current one that the other main-menu stuff is in.
Is it possible to make the sub-app jump to the other frame in order to reach the controls and then also jump from That one to yet Another?

I have managed to get it working by jumping from the main-menu to the first controller-screen, but if i try to jump from that one to yet another frame the sub-app just closes down and i am back in the main game again.

ohhh now i get it. thanks, casleziro!

I am trying to change the parameter of a shader effect for one of my objects. But im not getting it to work. What am I doing wrong?

I've attached an image of what i've done in this post.

When extracting an .exe file of my project my PC has no issues with opening the file without any warning message (Win10).
But other people have tried to run the .exe file i've sent them and some of them say that Win10 says that the file is unsafe and refuses to open the file.

How can I fix this issue?
