  • It's difficult, maybe impossible, to identify and pick an object type in a family like this, you don't really use families in this way. It is better to just pick a random number i.e. choose(0,1,2,3) and then the number will apply to the spawning of an object, families will not help here.

    When you pick the object to spawn you then put the create object action through a for loop with the choose(2,3) in place as the number of times to loop.

    Not sure what the touch event is but you can count the number of objects that were spawned with the result of choose(2,3). If you want the total number of objects in a family it is family.count.

  • The event you've shown us is on collision with power up right? It shouldn't need a different event, I would expect it to be in this one or you have 2 on collision with power up events. We need to see that in a screenshot as it may cause the problem you're having.

  • Whenever you select something from the list, list.selectedtext is the item selected which you can then set to a variable, is that enough to do what you want?

  • You don't set the boolean to true so the timer doesn't start, or it's already set to true and so the not true condition doesn't work. If you're checking against whether a boolean is true or false you need to toggle it to those values when you do or do not have an item.

  • On any number. I had it wrong though, floor is to round down, ceil to round up and round picks the nearest if that is useful. So you can say round(1.2) and that returns 1. round(1.6) and that returns 2.

  • If you want to use random in future with whole numbers you can use 'round' to round up or 'floor' to round down. i.e. round(random(1,10)) or floor(random(1,10))

  • Use export project > HTML5 website into a folder. Then drop the folder into something like bitballoon where it will host the game and give you a URL to share. People previously used dropbox but this no longer works.

  • Well that escalated quickly. If you are changing the limits per level then you can do something like this :

    Points collected = add to Score2 (score for that level)

    Another variable, limit (varied limit to hit per level)

    Then say, if Score2 >= limit, go to next layout

    Then you set the limit variable separately, if level 1, limit=1000. if level 2, limit=2000 etc

  • I just use 2 variables for this that count up together. One is the general score, the other is a variable that counts up to 1000 and upon hitting 1000 resets to 0. When the second variable hits 1000 you can change layout.

  • Yes it's all possible. You can play any animation and sounds based on a trigger in gameplay. You could even test out small scenarios on the free version before you buy it.

  • > Every tick : set health.animationframe to global variable. You pick it from the object, set frame.

    Use "Every tick" is not a wise option.. just IMHO. it is unnecessary use

    It is like force the CPU doing something every tick change the animation frame which is useless if nothing change. So I think that is not a good programming design

    That was just used in response to how to set a global variable as the knowledge of op seems like beginner. If you look in my original post to the question you will see how I put 'on hit' adjust health which would be a trigger. Also I think my example is better as it accomplishes everything in one event, where the animation frame number matches the global variable. Aside from that, setting an animation frame every tick has minimal effect, you must be thinking of text.
