  • Change the template like this:

  • Firstly, the origin image point in your sprite is off, so you don't even see the first created instance. Also, instead of creating sprites, I suggest using Browser-Log action, it will allow you to understand better in which order events and actions are running.

    When you call a function, the next action will run after the function ends. However, if there are any "waits" in the function, construct will create separate threads for them and move to the next event. Basically, the whole function is executed in one tick, but some actions from it are scheduled to run later.

    If you change your code like this, then all 5 circles will be created with 2 seconds delay between them:

    Note, that event #3 is a sub-event under #2.

  • So let's say "Spearman" and "Archer" are sprites, combined into a family "Unit". On this family you have an instance variable "team". You need to also create a copy of the family, let's call it "UnitAttacker".

    Then you can do something like this: 

    variable currentTeam=1

Every 1 second
Unit team=currentTeam
For each Unit
	-> Function call "FindTarget" (Unit.UID)


On Function "FindTarget"
 UnitAttacker pick by unique ID Function.param(0)
	Unit team not equal currentTeam
	UnitAttacker has Line of Sight to Unit
	Unit pick nearest to UnitAttacker.x, UnitAttacker.y
	 -> Function call "Attack" (parameters: UnitAttacker.UID, Unit.UID)

    In the "Attack" function you can pick both the attacker and the opponent instances by their UIDs.

    .

    So you can use two families to pick two separate units in the same event. However, only one family can have "team" instance variable, that's why I'm using "FindTarget" function here - to pick a member of UnitAttacker by UID.

  • I have nothing to add to this :)

  • No problem! But just to clarify - combining objects into a container will not automatically fix those issues. You will still need to review and change some events.

  • Add the purple box and the mob sprite to the same container. Read about containers here:

    construct.net/en/make-games/manuals/construct-3/project-primitives/objects/containers

    Also, you can't use "Move along path" immediately after "Find path". Finding path takes time, it may not happen in the same tick. You need to wait for "On path found" event to trigger.

  • You can deactivate groups, or toggle active status, all depends on what you are using them for.

  • Player Set angle to anglelerp(self.angle, angle(self.x, self.y, target.x, target.y), dt*2)

  • Oh, so you want to send for example, "Object15, Object57, Object58, Object60...", and you want to increase counters for these objects in the table?

    I don't know how to lookup data in the table, but if all these 200 objects are in rows 1 through 200, you can send row numbers as url parameters: 

    https://script.google.com/macros/s/...../exec?obj1=15&obj2=57&obj3=58&obj4=60...

    In the script you loop through 10 parameters, extract row numbers and increment the counters: 

    var nextRow = 0;
 
for (var i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
 nextRow = Number(e.parameter["obj"+i]);
 sheet.getRange(nextRow, 2).setValue(Number(sheet.getSheetValues(nextRow, 2, 1, 1))+1);
}

  • I think you should change it like this: 

    sheet.getRange(nextRow, 1).setValue(e.parameter["number1"]+1);
sheet.getRange(nextRow, 2).setValue(e.parameter["number2"]+1);
sheet.getRange(nextRow, 3).setValue(e.parameter["number3"]+1);
sheet.getRange(nextRow, 4).setValue(e.parameter["number4"]+1);
and so on

    If this doesn't work, remove all "+1", and add 1 to variables in Construct event before sending the data.

  • With Local Storage each key is loaded in a separate thread, so you need to wait for both keys to load before you can compare them. So you can do something like this:

    It's easier to store multiple values in a single dictionary. See this demo:

  • The easiest way to do this is with MoveTo behavior:
