  Here is a less mathy approach with MoveTo and Orbit behaviors.

  I don't know why your loop never stops, maybe you are running it on every tick? You should probably run it only once on layout start, or when JSON is loaded. There is a template in C3 which shows how to load and read data from JSON, check it out.

  Regarding images loading - each image needs to be loaded into a separate frame. So you need to create enough empty frames in the sprite, and set animation speed to 0.

  In runtime you need to create a sprite instance, set frame 0 and load image from URL. Then create another sprite instance, set frame 1 and load image. Repeat for all images in JSON.

  el3um4s Is it ok if I put a free demo with this color picker trick on my website? I will credit you of course.

  In Construct it's better to design all sprites facing to the right. So to mirror when it's going left do this:

  

  

  If you have more than one instance of this object, put this code inside of "For each" loop.

  You can clamp player position - for example, on every tick set Player X to clamp(self.x, ViewportLeft("layername")+20, ViewportRight("layername")-20)

  el3um4s wow, this is absolutely incredible!

  Where did you learn how to convert text field into a color picker?

  You need to check Sprite.Sine.CyclePosition

  I believe it changes from 0 to 1, and values between 0.25 and 0.75 is when the sprite is moving to the left.

  Jme7 Layout size can be changed in the editor, yes. The question was about changing it in runtime, via events.

  If you want the camera to follow your player, add ScrollTo behavior.

  If you want to restrict player movement only to a selected area, there are many ways to do it - you can use Bound To Layout behavior, put solid wall around, or write some events which will clamp player position.

  Yeah, using an invisible "Zone" sprite is the easiest way to do it. Here is a demo:

  newt Calculating the average of sprites x coordinate doesn't work very well here. If you create one sprite on the left and lots of sprite on the right, the scroll will move to the right.

  You need to calculate the center point between the leftmost and rightmost sprites.

  It's not possible. When you save the game, you need to also write a key to Local Storage, for example "GameSaved=1".

  Then you can read this key from LS to check if the game was saved.

  See this demo:

  howtoconstructdemos.com/auto-zoom-and-scroll-the-screen-to-fit-multiple-characters

  It's for Construct 3, but you can watch the video, or open the project in free version of C3 and copy events to C2.

  By the way, I suggest disabling all these options in the hierarchy: Transform X / Y / Z / width / height / angle. They will not work correctly with Physics and will likely cause problems.

  You created hierarchy relationships between body parts, but you still have to pick the right instance in events. For example,

  On Tap Gesture On Body
  Body Pick Parent Head -> Head Set Move=1
  

  Another option is to add all body parts to the same container, then when one part is picked by event, all other parts of the same body will be picked automatically.
