    @Franjipang The Modify Save File behavior will have a Delete All Keys option which is equivalent to resetting the entire save file (what you shown in the screenshot). The thing is you want to trigger it before loading save values, so you'd want to trigger it before going into the level. This could be done in the title screen so the data isn't reset every time you restart the level.

    @Bryce678 Yes there is currently a bug in how rewards are treated. It should only be giving it to you the first time you earn it. However, it is giving it for every instance.

    @Ethan-D This is late but for those who still are interested in how you can achieve this, you can use transform behaviors (the cyan behaviors) such as Move By, Scale To, and Rotate to Angle. You can use a combination of these behaviors to make your logo move, scale, and rotate. You can also fade its opacity by using Set Color. For a simple fade in effect, you can set the object's opacity to be 0% so that it is completely transparent. Then in the behaviors, you can place a Set Color behavior to make it change to white with full opacity over time. A lot of this is knowing how the behavior system works, so I recommend watching YouTube videos from the hyperPad YouTube channel to get a grasp on it. You'll be able to customize exactly how your logo animates by using transform behaviors and some other behaviors.

    @Anathematika Welcome to hyperPad. :) As actually mentioned, you can use Collision Event to trigger behaviors when colliding with another object. So when your player collides with a gun, you can trigger logic to: Remove the gun from the scene Make your player hold a weapon (could be a simple sprite change). And enable the ability for the player to shoot. Of course, if you want more customization than what is provided, you are free to use any other behaviors than the preset ones. For example, you can use the Raycast Test behavior if you want bullets to register instantly. Or you could have a graphic of the gun be attached to the player, then you can swap the graphic or change its visibility when the player switches weapons, unequips it, etc. Pretty much everything you can do in a 2D game is possible in hyperPad. You'd have to break big tasks into smaller steps to achieve what you want. Feel free to ask for anything specific! 👌

    @Lorebound-Labs Also, note that the hyperPad editor apps are only available on iPad and Mac. Not for iPhone. So if you're using the hyperPad Hub app on iPhone, you wont find the editor there.

    @MoonSJ Make sure the objects don't have a gap at the time of attaching them. Also, in the Pivot Attach behavior, you can choose the anchor point - use this to define where the "joint" will be. The screenshot below shows me selecting an object and then moving the anchor point to where the attachment will roughly be. I also recommend turning off Attachments Collide so you don't get weird jiggly physics. [image: 3569655a-3bfe-459d-9dfa-b85b0b7a02b3.jpeg]

    The main limitation between starter and the paid version is the amount of projects you can create. You shouldn't be limited by cloud back ups, rather the amount of new projects you can make. If you can't create more than one project let me know, as that sounds like some sort of bug. Also, when you have both apps on one iPad it can do weird things with your user account, so we don't recommend having both at the same time. This could confuse how your profile is treated. Which is probably why you're seeing a limitation with cloud backups.

    @autumnsworld Yes! You are referring to the Modify Save File and Load from Save File behaviors. You can persist values in between plays using those behaviors. Modify Save File: Select a key (location) to save a value. You can also use this behavior to delete a key. Load from Save File: Select the key to load that value. If the key does not exist, it will output the default value. Let me know if you need more information.

    @AMIR-GAMES As @NeilSenn says, there are no restrictions to behaviours available in the free Starter version, or the paid version of hyperPad. All behaviours are available to all users. Especially one as critical to game development as collision detection. We have gone through a series of updates and changed names of behaviours, so if you look at old tutorials or videos, you may see the behaviours by different names. In this case, the "Collided" behaviour is now called "Collision Event"

    Yup as you found, you have to disable anti-aliasing in the asset library. What anti aliasing does is smooth edges. For non pixel art graphics, this is a good thing.

    @versioneight P.S. you might want to have a tag for bullet collisions specifically. Found out the hard way things get screwy if you start trying to use the same tags for more than one function

    @themerpygirl There's a bug with duplicated behaviors (fixed in the beta). Try placing down a Behavior Bundle and connect it to those two behaviors so both of them can trigger on start.
