Using layers with the layer selection lock on by any chance?

An option to copy across would help but yes, not a great solution. In that case a button on the object in the properties window called "Create in missing frames" would work better because you could...

This is looking great so far AftPeakTank. I remember those spodge-y ghosts well :)

Keep up the good work. I will be sure to follow your progress.

It sounds like Fusion 3 will expose all the files so you can edit them externally which will be handy.

I quite like the Fusion 2.5 image / animation editor. Could it be better? Yes. Should it be...

I think like all new features it takes some time to get used to them. When best to use and why.

I do agree they really need a code folding option in the future as they are very vertical in nature...

They look brilliant :)

Scrolling in Fusion is really easy. Adding virtual scrolling on the frame and layer to create the appearance of infinite scrolling is easy too. However, the layers wrap horizontal and vertical...

Big thumbs up for the plus version. Loving it, many excellent new features.

The global base frame is so handy. Just one thing that would make my day- If you could extend this a little further in...

Put the loop option on the wall animation. You'll have to change back to falling when no longer clinging to the wall as it seemed to not do that with the events you have at the moment.

I've used the Dynamic touch screen widget in the end and all working great.

Would normally post to the Bug Tracker but as it is currently down hoping one of the Fusion devs might see this here.

Thanks !!! Updating now

Nice and unexpected. :)

The Almighty Zentaco recently come up with a neat way to make a level editor, take a look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zqKzZA6Z2o

I added a couple of small things to it too:...

Try holding the Spacebar and left-click dragging to scroll around. Also works in frame and picture editors.

That's brilliant Danjo!

Wow - some nice updates here...thanks Yves & Clickteam!

Terrain working well, struggling with the materials though. I can place one material over the entire surface but not sure how to set each cell on the terrain to a different material as needed? Do...

That looks pretty good. Can I set different colours/materials to each cell on the grid, like in this screenshot?

This is part of a solution to making a large scrolling level. The example tiles and scrolling is in place, what is missing is an array or other data object to hold the tilemap and a mechanism to set...

Ah, I see. I have seen string arrays loading more slowly before, I guess fusion has to loop over each element as they are variable length.

Thanks Ziplock, just wondering if this limit has been increased in the current version or not?

What is the maximum number of background objects allowed in a frame in Fusion 2.5? I seem to remember a limit in the older versions (something like 65000?).

The change log looks fantastic, will try the patch out now :)

Thanks for the Android fix!

Thanks! Will start playing with this version.

You can also use Layers in the frame. A frame properties allow you to set the scrolling coefficients for X and Y to 0 which means anything on this layer will not scroll with the rest of the frame.

Thanks Clickteam!

This is a really good example! Thanks for sharing.

This is great new Yves, thanks for the update ... look forward to getting the update :)

Have you tried this or this?

Yes, please update the download links for 282.3 :)

Normally 60 fps (default frequency of most monitors), vsync on and Direct3D (HWA) graphics mode give the best results.

Also make sure you have the latest build installed.

I don't see anything complicated or confusing about sub-events. From my perspective they simplify the visualisation of what you see in the event editor that would otherwise be quite complicated (and...

Well I hope you are able to replicate the problem so you can do something about it. :) Unfortunately it does fail and wipe the INI, seemingly if you close the app soon after writing a value.

Update on what I posted earlier, in my case creating a bunch of objects and holding them off-screen to bring on when needed has done the trick for me.

I'm seeing this too on a slower android device. But I am creating many and they contain animation with an alpha channel so it makes sense that it would introduce a delay. The delay is ever so brief...

Don't forget to change the virtual width and height as required. A value of-1 means unlimited.

I should have tried the final iOS build type as it doesn't include all the extension code - I guess the problem would go away with that method...or I could remove the extension :)

Thanks Andos, hopefully will be able to build my first fusion iOS with this fix. Will this be corrected in the next patch?

To observe the growth, create a...

Aha, I think we are on to something! What build number are you on? It sounds like you might be on a very old version if you can't see other Display types. Clickteam have released many improvements...

Hmmmm, if you've tried the "Display Mode" as Direct3D (9 preferably or 8) under the runtime application properties and this does not help I am not sure what else I can suggest.

Your example is...

+1 to that :)

It's backward compatible (I'm on win 8 too). Means you need DX3D 9 or newer on your PC to run in this mode.

What display mode are you using? Standard and DirectX can be inconsistent especially on lower older spec graphics cards. Direct3D9 will use HWA which should be stable at 60FPS+vsync for most.

When you say it still move vertical, had you set the device orientation to portrait or landscape - and was the object moving up or down or did you have to tilt the device up and down?

The angle and distance functions are great but it would actually be a good idea to have an event condition to test for this. ie: If "Object A is within 'n' pixels of Object B" just like the "Object...

The other things to check I can think of - have you enabled the usb debugging on the device and many androids need the manufacturers usb drivers installing too.

Other that...

I didn't know Fusion's platform movement did that, pretty neat! (the moving with platform part) But it is a bug when you jump off. Have raised it on the bug tracker:...

Could use a sine wave.

Set Angle = Sin(timer / 80.0 ) * 90.0

the 80.0 will change the speed. The *90.0 changes how many degrees each way it will turn.

I wonder if you could use the rope and chain object?

Would love if CF3 had something like this for similar reasons. I'm not sure if we can expect to see that though, based upon comments made in recent months.

Here is another approach to working in one game frame for logic, difference is that you must use Fusion to create the level data - but once created, these levels can be recreated in one frame.
