  • Store the random value in a variable. 

    Set randomAnim to choose("1", "2", "3")
Country set animation to randomAnim
Flag set animation to randomAnim

    It may be better to name the animations properly, by country name.

  • Are you using timelines? I'm guessing the problem is with one of those.

    If you have an older version of the project which works, you can try copying the files in Timelines folder from it to the current project.

  • Another (possibly better) option is to enable/disable Drag and Drop behavior when playerInputIsOn variable is changed.

  • Place both objects on a separate layer.

    Set "Force own texture=on" in layer properties.

    Check the "Blend modes" example in C3 to see how it's configured.

  • Put that sprite on a separate layer and enable "Use own textures" on the layer.

  • You are using Wait action inside of "Every 0.2s" event. If the wait time is longer than 0.2s, then the whole thing will quickly become a mess. The event will continue running and creating more and more delayed threads. Which probably explains why the movement is broken.

    Also, that code won't work with multiple enemies, because distance() expression will only check the first enemy instance.

    I suggest you use a state machine approach with Timer behavior instead of "waits" and "every X seconds".

    Use LOS behavior instead of distance, or add "For each enemy" loop if there are more than one enemy instance.

  • If you simply add "playerInputIsOn=true" condition to "On drag start" event, it won't stop the dragging if the input is false. The event will simply not run.

    You need to use "Drop" action: 

    Sprite On drag start
playerInputIsOn=false : Sprite Drop

  • If you are posting a big project you need to explain which layout to look at, where are the relevant events and how to reproduce the issue.

  • If you are controlling the character with keyboard keys, then 8direction will be the best choice. Otherwise you can use MoveTo or Pathfinding (if there are obstacles and units should walk around them).

    Check out this example:

    editor.construct.net

    All these behaviors have MovingAngle expression, which you can use to set the correct animation. See these tutorials:

  • If "StorageLoad2" function loads data from Local Storage, then you should wait for it to finish. LS operations are asynchronous, which means that they take some time to finish, while the rest of your code keeps running. So yeah, that's why your "array is empty" check was not working.

  • Where do you have that "is empty" check? It should be performed AFTER the array is loaded from AJAX or Local Storage.

    I'm guessing the check is done before the data is loaded from LS.

    You need to change how you load the data. I assume you want to try loading from LS first, and if LS data doesn't exist, then load the default data from the project file.

  • Add Solid behavior, disable it by default. On start of the layout enable Solid for sprites with the red bar (comparing by animation name or frame number).

  • Most keyboards should support 3-4 simultaneously pressed keys. Especially typical keys used in gaming, like WASD, space and arrow keys. Try that link first, maybe the problem is not with your keyboard.

  • It works for me.

    Your keyboard may not support certain key combinations. See this link:

  • What do you mean by list?

    List object? Then yes, it's a pretty bad solution. How do you store item quantity?

    Or do you mean a list in a text variable? Like "sword:2, potion:3" ?

    I strongly suggest using a dictionary or array instead.
