Construct 2 - Containers

This video demonstrates containers in Construct 2, the HTML5 game creation software.



Containers enable you to group together objects and plugins as if they are one object. Construct 2 views all of the objects within a container in the same scope. Therefore if you do something in one, you have access to the others.



There are three main rules of containers. If you destroy one object, you destroy all objects contained. If you create one object you create all others in the same container. If one object is picked, all objects are picked.
