    I'm trying to hide a couple of images at the beginning of my games tutorial, but can't seem to get the autohide feature to function. I've checked the manual and all it says is:
    • Autohide: number of seconds to show before hiding.
    It makes sense what it does, but it needs more explaining as I've entered 4 or 5 seconds in the autohide box and the object image still remains, am I missing something here? Any suggestions?

    because I don't see a setting for an animation to play once (vs loop) I tried autohide but didn't seem to help... perhaps it's broken on some screens? i didn't play with it extensively

    The Autohide needs to be fix to include in-game items. It has never worked on in-game OBJECT, ACTIONS, ETC. only on items added on the menu pages.

    Aha, I didn't know that @Zoietesheira, thanks for the heads-up.

    @Andy is this something you're aware of and will it be fixed? Or was it only intended for menus?

    Have an object come in to destroy the info at a slow speed. Use a fade out for the defeated animation

    This (autohide) is working in the next release, just verified it myself.

    @Andy would it be possible if you could release updates more frequently? I need to get autohide for one of my objects and without it I can't release my game.

    It does give me more time to find problems and finish/polish the game tho. I can start creating other games.. Do you perhaps know when the next update will be released? how many weeks/months?

    Can't say for sure. You know how it goes. :)

    It's a priority though, there are a few things that we need to get worked out before it can happen.
