I'm planning on making a game where the player will draw circles around enemies to damage them. (Think Pokemon Ranger)

When moving, I need the character to leave a trail, and upon completing a circle around the enemy, I want an event to trigger. How would I write that in Construct 3?

My first attempt in doing that would be to spawn a hidden object on the enemy if you cast your trail skill. Let it face the players direction in every step. Then check if its angle changed from the base angle to +360° (if it circled itself one time).

But there might be better ways to do that. But you could give it a try as a first solution.

I think Nilom's suggestion might work. Newt, I think you're on the right track, but it's not requiring a surrounding circle. I can tap once and it registers regardless of shape

Thank you guys for trying to help

I leave it to you to figure out all the logic.

Connect the dots, la la la la~
