  Note that in my capx the origin image point of the trees and player sprites is at the bottom. Also, it doesn't look like you separated trunks from the leaves, like I suggested in my previous comment.

  "Wait 0" is needed, because we have to wait 1 tick for the trees to be created, before sorting them.

  "For each ordered" because we need to cycle through all trees sorted from top to bottom.

  If all this doesn't help, please share your capx file.

  If there are only two weapon slots, then it's even easier, you don't need the array.

  I don't think you can do this in one "Pick by evaluate" event..

  Here is my version, may not be the most efficient, but it works:

  I think you should use EasyStar to find path on a grid, and then some other behavior (for example MoveTo) to move from one node of the path to another.

  You don't need events 4 and 5, as events 6 & 7 do the same and they will be executed immediately.

  Also, you don't need "For each" in event #3.

  Simply set Sine=inactive manually for all sprites on the layout.

  Or do "On start of the layout : SteamCreator set Sine disabled"

  Try z-sorting the trunks as it's done in my example, and move all leaves to another layer, which is above the layer with trunks and player.

  This is one of the most popular questions here - how do you refer to two different instances of the same object in one event.

  In expression editor you can use instance IID. For example:

  Pick instance of sprite -> Sprite set animation frame to Sprite(7).AnimationFrame
  

  Where 7 is the IID of the second sprite instance.

  .

  Alternative method is to use a family. Add your sprite to a family, and then you can pick one instance of the sprite, and one instance of the family in the same event.

  Pick instance of sprite
  Pick instance of family
   -> Sprite set animation frame to Family.AnimationFrame

  Here you go:

  Note that there is a "color" instance variable defined on the Weapon sprites. Color values should be the same as character animations.

  Have you read the official manual? "Making AJAX requests cross-domain or in preview" part:

  You need this plugin:

  construct.net/en/forum/extending-construct-2/addons-29/behavior-easystar-js-pathfindi-96215

  Rexrainbow also has a bunch of addons for grid-based games, you may find something useful:

  construct.net/en/forum/extending-construct-2/addons-29/plugin-board-layout2board-beha-47187

  There are also several tutorials on how to move on a grid:

  I don't understand your question, but I think this change will help:

  From what I can see it's a simple 8-direction movement with animation change.

  See this tutorial:

  If the object is not moving too fast, you can make the same trail effect with just 1 particles and no events.

  Yeah, the C2 tutorials section is seriously broken. You can't upload certain files, can't insert code, can't leave comments, can't switch language... And Scirra team doesn't seem to care.
