Open a TicketI'd like to confirm that I've been getting something like this recently also, but to me it happens whenever I press a key after launching the application runtime, and to stop it I have to click on the debugger to unfocus the application, then click back inside the application window to refocus it again. Until I do that, it plays the Windows chime on every keypress.
I suspect it's something that's happened due to a recent windows update, because that's never happened to me in Fusion before.
(also I *think* the build 295 doesn't support API 35, so you should use API 34).
Hello Yves, I hope all is well👍🏼
Just a general FYI, I've managed to build successfully using API 35 and publish to Google Play. I did also apply the patch to the exporter that was released here recently, prior to building the app.
You'll need to add the INI file that your editor app creates as "binary data" in the Data Elements tab of your Android app before you build it, then in the Android app, the location of the INI file is in : "DataStorageDirectory("Android Object") + "/" + "yourfile.ini" when you need to reference it. You'll also need the Android Object extension to retrieve the above filepath.

If you mean the Surface Object, I think the points represent the indices of a custom polygon.
To be honest, I'm not sure if you can create INI files with the file object on the device, but I'm pretty sure you can move & delete files, but I think any kind of file ops needs to be done at the start of the application, otherwise it will just use whatever is already in the data storage directory, if there's anything there at all.
Alternatively you could use an array for storage, which IIRC, I'm pretty sure can be created in an ad-hoc way on the device, and manipulated during runtime.
However, How can I read a certain group, and, item in the INI from using DataStorageDirectory$( "Android object" ) + "/" + "File.ini" ?
There's an action in the INI object that lets you set the current ini file to be used, which is where you would use the above file path. Then you can access the groups/item string/item value using the relevant actions.
Not quite the same problem, but recently I've had Fusion just randomly crash after being open for several hours at a time. It's happened a couple of times & both times I haven't actually done anything to cause it. It's crashed literally from an idle state, I'm not pressing any keys, clicking on things, or even holding the mouse at all.
Were you able to locate the problem? If possible could you send me the MFA and explain how to reproduce the problem? Thanks!
Hello Yves
Yes I can reproduce the problem very consistently in my MFA, I just have no idea why it happens 😕
What happens, is I try to turn some existing events in my project, which are just normal events like the ones in the second screenshot i posted, into parent/child events (1st screenshot). Then after I've done so, I click "run application" or "run frame", and the application seems to hang momentarily, then does a hard crash of the whole app, including the editor, straight to the desktop. Usually I would get a warning about fonts used etc before the runtime launches, but this doesn't display with this crash.
One scenario that causes a crash is when I specifically turn the exact events in the screenshots I posted earlier, into sub-events. The only reason I can think of why it crashes is maybe because it's a loop that gets called from inside another loop, which itself is called when the Surface Object callback event reaches specific points in its iteration.
The callback itself is looping through an array holding pixel data, and rendering this to the Surface Object window every 2nd tick. When the callback hits specific rows in the window, it calls the nested fast loop, which is used to draw 8x8 pixel tiles (again using array-stored pixel data) to an Overlay Redux object, so it's pretty complex and not very easy to isolate.
Funnily enough, if I turn the "on callback" events which draw pixels to the surface into sub-events, it seems to work fine with no crash (although I didn't notice any significant gain in performance)
I'd be happy to send the MFA once I've tidied up the code a bit more, I don't know when I'll get around to doing it though. There are over 3000+ events & I've been quite busy with my day job recently.
And like I said to ikko, it's not a show-stopper if I just avoid using them. My app runs absolutely fine without them otherwise.
Please show event that launches loop
This calls the outer loop...

And the outer loop calls the inner...

Now I think about it, the fact that it's a nested loop, being called from inside a Surface Object callback, possibly might have something to do with why Fusion isn't liking it being turned into sub-events 
And the entire project is littered with very precise fast loop interactions like this, which is why it would be tedious to try and isolate.
I'm perfectly fine with not using sub-events at all, as the program works ok enough without them, but if there is a potential crash lurking inside certain specific use cases of sub-events, then it's probably a good idea to let the devs know, just in case it is a rare bug.
A lot of things can make game to crash. Infinite loops, for example.
But, you said your project is big and Clickteam also crashes. So I suppose you are out memory. Probably you are using very big sprites with tons of animations.
FNaF game? Try to deactivate parts of code and find that crasher condition. Or maybe uncheck "Create on start" for every object you don't need on start. Create objects only when you need them and destroy objects when you don't need them.
Hello, and thanks for replying.
The crash only happens when I try to run the application, after turning certain events that already exist in the project, into parent/child events from what they were previously. It's very specific that the crash follows doing this particular thing, and doesn't happen at all otherwise.
Maybe a screenshot of what I'm trying to say will help...
Please login to see this attachment.
This is an example of what I'm trying to do. This block of code has been arranged in a parent/child structure, and crashes Fusion in the way I described when I try to run the application.
Please login to see this attachment.
This is the same block of code in it's original form. This does not cause a crash at all.
In addition, there are similar structures in my project that I've tried to retroactively turn into parent/child events, in the same way that i have in the first screenshot, which does not cause a crash, and works as expected. There seems to be no obvious reasons why some parent/child events crash, and not others.
I thought it might possibly be a memory issue, indeed, the way it crashes made me think this at first, but even though the available memory on my dev laptop is very low, there's still about 20 GBs free, which should be more than enough, & the applications RAM usage when running is relatively low (97mb, 191 objects). If anything, by using sub-events I'd be reducing the memory usage, because the whole reason for using them was to try and reduce the condition count on very computationally heavy areas of code which are frequently run. In order to turn the original events into sub-events means I have to delete conditions, like the "on loop" ones.
Ths project doesn't use any large objects or objects with many animation frames. In fact the entire thing runs in a single frame and most active objects are either invisible value containers, or small UI buttons. It's otherwise very stable and rarely ever crashes.
It's definitely not a FNAF game 
it's essentially a fantasy console/Chip 8 emulator, although I've added features to the chip 8 side of things that weren't in the original spec, such as programmable horizontal and vertical blanking periods, a scanline interrupt, a 16 colour mode, a tilemap with an attribute table, & up to 16 8x8 "hardware" sprites on screen at once. The code block in the screenshot actually shows a segment of how the colours are being fetched from memory ("memory" is just a big 2D array), via alterable values, for each 8 pixel row of a sprite. It uses a loop which, for a minimum of 8 sprites, runs 512 times per frame (64 times per sprite), so i had identified this area as one that could potentially benefit from being optimised with sub-events.
As the title says, in some cases, trying to reorganise some events in an existing project into this structure, occasionally causes a very nasty crash.
The point at which this occurs is when I try to run the application or frame, and the crash doesn't simply ANR the runtime, the runtime never even starts, and the Clickteam Fusion editor itself completely shuts down without so much as a warning, and is unable to restore the project when relaunched. In fact it launches as if nothing happened.
My project is so large, that it would be very tedious to try and isolate where exactly this happens to see if it's related to any events I have. In any case I don't think it matters, because on some blocks of code, it seems to work, but on others blocks of events, ones which seem to me to be completely unrelated to each other in the event list, it nonetheless causes this crash.
My only real question is, is any dev or anyone at all, aware of any known specific ways of eventing parent/child events, that could cause a total crash of the entire software, at the point when you try to run the application?
If its a case of a particular set of circumstances or event/group arrangements that could cause the crash (and I suspect it is), as my project is quite far along, I'd have make a decision of whether it's just better to avoid using them altogether.
Thanks in advance 
I still don't have access to my game even tho the server is back online because I can't seem to install the ultimate fullscreen extension.
I was able to install the other extensions needed just fine, but ultimate fullscreen is grayed out

UPDATE:
Ok, I've managed to figure out what the issue was.
The problem was that my JDK path was pointing to another Java installation I had on my computer, and NOT the one that came with Android Studio (usually in location c:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jbr)
It now builds both .apk and .aab using the.jks keystore file without issues (and faster) 
The previous JDK installation I pointed to was in a custom location I used when following a Android Exporter setup tutorial in an article on Steam, ironically with the intent purpose of being able to build apps WITHOUT having to download the behemoth that is Android Studio & have my hard drive clogged up with a slow & buggy IDE, and every API ever - just in case you wanted to run your fusion app on somebody's watch, toaster or doorbell 
Anyway, what I'm saying is don't follow that Steam tutorial if you want to successfully build release mode .aab files for publishing, just use the Android Studio paths.
I'm at a complete loss with this.
My app continually fails to build when using the key generated by Android Studio (.jks) with the following exception in the error log.
It builds successfully if I build an unsigned app, or if I use an old .keystore key generated by the (presumably deprecated) Keystore Generator Tool. However, Google Play does not accept an app bundle signed using this old tool.
Fusion doesn't even seem to recognise the .jks file when you navigate to the folder containing this key, I select it anyway, but the build always fails.
I'll just post the most relevant part of the error log. If the full log is required for assistance I'm happy to provide it. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated

I believe you can also use the Data Grid Object for converting to/from CSV & MMF Array format, but its been a while since I've tried this. I tend to just copy spreadsheets into a blank text document and then work with the .txt file.
Use String Tokenizer object and retrive element 1 as suggested above, or use the String Parser, set one of your delimiters to the underscore and extract element 2 (string parser is 1-based)
EDIT: didn't see you said the underscore was unique to that string. Is there always a separating character between the text and numbers? If there is, the string parser does allow to use more than 1 delimiter
If you have the 2.5+ DLC you can use the “Find All" feature [SHIFT+CTRL+F'], which will bring up a dialog that lets you search the event editor, as seen in the pic below..

My game has the player object not actually move on a static frame that does not scroll. Pressing the directional keys shifts the positions of enemies, not the player.
My understanding is that the layer toolbar allows you to make it so background object be made to wrap around as you scroll through a level, and through use of multiple layers and scrolling coefficients induce a Parallax Scrolling effect. Is there a way to compel those effects in a static frame that is not actually scrolling?
You'll need to use the Layer Object extension, but yes this is possible.
Then once you've imported the Layer Object, you'll need move the layer manually in the given direction using an event like..
+ Repeat while “Right Arrow“ is pressed
- Set X layer 1 to lyrGetLayerXPos( “(Layer Object)“, 1) - 1
The above event would move layer 1, 1 pixel to the left every tick for as long as the right arrow is held. Adjust as needed for the other directions.
To find the function to set the Layer position in the Layer Object, right click >>> Layers >>> by name/index >>> Position >>> Set X/Y position.
To find the expression that retrieves the current layers position, right click >>> Layers >>> by name/index >>> Get Layer X/Y Position
If you don't mind losing the AltVal names as well as the states , you can shift click the names to select multiple AltVals, then press the delete key to delete them.
Thanks! This was exactly what I was looking for. Nah I don't need to preserve the names, so this is perfect
