Preview mode and Debug mode plays differently...?

So I discovered this weird behavior and I don't know if it's my mistake or a Construct 3 bug.

I made a simple test project where you can control this diamond-shaped player by clicking anywhere for it to teleport instantly to that point. There are circle-shaped enemies which you can kill by casting a laser(which I named LineExecution) at them, by obtaining the item in the middle. If you look at my event sheet, theoretically, when the player touches the item, it should cast lasers to all enemies and play the correct sounds. This works perfectly in Debug mode. But in normal Preview mode, when I click and move the player to certain places, it doesn't work correctly and only plays the sound. The image of the item was one of those places. (The player is big enough to touch the item even if I click somewhere near the item)

First image is the Preview mode, Second is Debug mode. Both were took immediately after I clicked on the image of the item.

This is the way I move the player, in case it matters. Ignore the 'MovesLeft' and 'StartX/Y' stuff

The speed of the player is set to 100000. The reason I did that instead of just setting the position is because I wanted the player to pick up the item if it travels through the item.

Not exactly the answer I was looking for, but thank you very much for your advice.

However there is a flaw in your code... The lasers get created properly but they don't follow the player afterwards. I thinks it's because when you use 'for each enemy', it only performs the action once for each enemy.... Here's the code:

What I want is this:

1. When the player touches the item, it creates lasers for each enemy on the screen. Only them, not other enemies that appear later.

2. Wherever the player and the enemies are, the lasers keep attached to them when they move

3. After a certain time the enemies who were attached with lasers get destoyed.

My best try was the image from up there but as I said it sometimes wouldn't create the lasers for whatever reason and also when it did, the lasers would lock on to other enemies as you mentioned.

I know it's a bit too much to ask for but I would love to get some help.... I'm very new to Construct.

oops forgot to upload the image of your code

here it is:

I see

I didn't know you had problems with the movements swell

You can Pin the objects and set the Angles

Here's one way of doing it see if it helps:

If I understood when the player touches the little circle (PowerUp) you create the laser for all the enemies on the screen and after 3 seconds you destroy the enemies that were touch by the laser only, plus the lasers, but not an enemy that came after.

OMG WOW!!!! I seriously didn't expect you to create everything for me...! THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU ARE MY HERO

I almost feel guilty to use this lol

It works really well, thanks again!!

I just want one tiny thing to make it even better though...

I tested your project and everything was fine, but whenever the enemies were cramped up, the lasers attached to them looked a bit weird. Look at the image and you'll understand.

What I want is this:

I tried to fix it using the 'set Z elevation' on the laser object and setting it to 'enemy.Zindex', but sadly it didn't work...

sorry for keep asking for help haha but you are too good at this!!

oops the first image is gone here it is

You can add a few Actions:

-Event 12 after you create the laser you can add a move in front of the enemy Action for that lasers

-Event 18 you can add an action move to the Top of the layer to the enemies so the new enemies they are always on top of the layer as if they where Spawned

Perfect. I learned a lot from you thank you very very much!!
