  You've asked this question twice before.

  If the answers I gave you in those posts are not working for you, you need to provide more information, or share your project file.

  Events 24-25 on your screenshot need to be run once, either when enemies are created, or when they start chasing the player.

  Events 26-28 need to run on every tick.

  Events 24 and 25 should run once, that's why I put them into "On created" event. I'm guessing in your case they are running on every tick, which causes this problem.

  I made a simple demo:

  Check text expressions in the documentation:

  construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/system-reference/system-expressions

  For example, to extract the word "my" from that sentence you can use tokenat(text, 3, " ") expression.

  Where 3 is the token index (starting from 0), and " " is the separator between tokens.

  A web app doesn't have direct access to your hard drive. So you will have to use File chooser.

  Or you can switch to the Desktop version of C3. Then you will be able to use NWJS features and read the contents on your file directly, without the "Open" dialogue. Once the game is ready for release, you can remove NWJS plugin from the project.

  Here is a very simple demo:

  dropbox.com/s/6sm8wpt9820bo4c/SaveSpritesToArray.c3p

  You can save the array itself in Local Storage, use Array.AsJSON expression.

  "[Project] Exception opening: File format is not recognized."

  This must be the error. Have you tried changing the extension of the project file from C3P to ZIP? If ZIP archive is corrupted and you can't extract files from it, then there's probably nothing that can be done.

  Where is the file stored - in some folder on your hard drive, or is it added to the project?

  When you see this error on the screen, press F12 and check for error messages in the Console tab. There's usually an explanation why the project can not be opened - for example a missing file etc.

  Then you can rename the project to .ZIP, extract it to an empty folder and try to fix the issue.

  Before doing anything, make a couple of backup copies of the project first!

  .

  Also, maybe you do have automatic backups - check "Save & Backup" section in Construct 3 Settings.

  Almost every object in Construct has AsJSON expression and "Set from JSON" action - you can use these. JSON will contain all object properties.

  You can put all JSON strings into an array if you want, for easier storage.

  .

  If you need to re-create the entire scene with lots of objects, it may be easier to use System Save/Load actions. After saving, you can get SaveStateJSON expression and saving it to a file - it will contain properties for all objects on the layout.
