Bottom screw got stripped, I do have a tri screwdriver set, I have tried the super glue and the rubber band method. I don't believe drilling is an option for this. Any advice?

Another trick that's worked for me at least once is scratching a groove across the top of the screw (right to the outside edges), that you can then use a flat head screwdriver on. I think I did my scratching with an old Swiss army knife, but whatever you've got that works.

2-component epoxy glue works better than super glue but it takes 24 hours to harden out.
One very ugly method is to place your soldering iron on the screw long enough until it melts the plastic around it.

    I don't have a wii u anymore to test it myself, but if homebrews are not visible on the wii u menu I think you can press L + R + minus to open the plugin menu, there should be an option called "homebrews on wii u menu" or something similar
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    nope
  • crafthp434 @ crafthp434:
    it is L+dpad down+ select

  • NinStar @ NinStar:

    @BigOnYa, How do I make enemies respawn on gdevelop after

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Xdqwerty you can use a "spawner" function on any object.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Or when your player dies, you can say in code, if enemy exists, do nothing, but if enemy does not exist, then create enemy at certain spot. (This would be a pain tho for lots of emeies)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Easiest, simple way would be just restart scene, but player would restart from beginning.
